GOOD LITERATURE Good literature is the store house for the accumu lated wisdom of all ages. What a rich heritage is ours if we only properly appreciate and use it! We refer to real “Literatre” not the everyday “letter” — of which quantities are produced. Books are our silent but powerful friends; the in fluence of good books on our lives cannot be estimat ed, and they are marvelous instructors; —they make known to us our faults without rebuking us; they an swer the most childish questions without making us blush for our ignorance; they repeat for us what is difficult without taking note of our dullness; if we approach them with open minds, they destroy our false theories and # give us substantial foundation for true ones. Children delight in marking their growth from time to time, by the use of a measuring stick. We of m'aturer years, having attained our full physical height, might find it beneficial, occasionally, to test our"intellectual growth, using as a measuring stick, some masterpiece of Literature; r§ad again some great poem or essay that you read a year or more ago; does it yield up to you more of its truth, more of its beauty? Do you discover new depths of meaning in, it? If so your mental status has taken on a fewj cubits; if not your intellectual food has not been as: nourishing as it should be. William Ellery Channing said “We never know a great character until some thing congenial has grown up within us.” So we can not comprehend any great work until our mental growth has reached the level of the author’s mind. This is an age when the best in literature is within the reach of all. Most of the classics may be had in -such inexpensive editions that there is no excuse for any home to be without its shelves of carefully se lected volumes; no town is so small but that it should have a Library, where the highest type of magazines nnd books may be accessible to all who desire them. o PEACE HAS COME But peace without good will is transient truce. The power of the enemy to resist was broken, and rpeace followed his surrender. Strangely enough, good surrender, but this surrender is not to military force. It is a surrender of the heart to the Way, the Truth, the Life. It is a matter of Christmas presents, the gift of the individual himself to the Christ who was born in Bethlehem. When the Christmas Child had become a man, He declared “I came not to be ministered untp, but to minister.” He knew that the self is truly realized in the complete gift of self to others. The good will of which the Angels sang is of the heart. It springs from Love.

Gradv Hardin 4 The celebration of the birthday of Jesus is different from all oth- er birthday celebrations in many j 4 respects. For one thing, this; birthday is the most universally. .j celebrated. This is because the birth of Jesus brings more uni- 4 versal hope and joy to a world j that is often hopeless and sad. It 4 is truly a birthday of tremendous ]j significance to all who have felt t the impact of Christianity. | j But there is another difference j in this birthday celebration that f makes it unque. In this sesaon we think of the Christ as a baby. ; Songs are sung about the baby— - Jesus and the Christ Child. At j the usual birthday anniversary j emphasis is put on the age of the - person, not the childhood of the ] person. Childhood becomes sig_ , j nificant only in terms of what is < done with one’s adulthood. Cer- J tainly we should not stop “our , j emphasis on the birth and child- J hood- of Jesus simply because it constitutes one of the most beau- j tiful features of the story of j Jesus. The nativity is of no im- j portance at all without the years j of adult ministry and teaching j that followed. Cradles and mang ers do not hold world leaders ex- j cept as we are able to look back j to see the beginnings of men. In this sacred Christmas season j think and sing of the babe in j Bethlehem, but don’t stop there, j Look into the barn and see the j Christ Child, but look beyond to j see that Child as a man who has j made the supreme expression of j God to the world. In a very real « and beautiful way God entered hu-, j man life in a baby. But he was j not long to remain a babe. The • babe becomes a center of our adoration only the result-:® ing man gives us an eternal way [ | of life that leads us to the reality j of abundant living in God! Sgt. Williams At Home S-Sgt.
