But there will be, we believe, a deep realization of the spiritual meaning of the Christmas day. There will be a realization of how' blessed it would be—once again—to have “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.” And there will be, in many hearts, a solemn resolve to punish those who have made a mockery of all the things that Christmas stands for , , , and so to bring back those things to a war-weary ‘ world. As an expression of this kind of Christmas feeling, there are ( a© haer or more meaningful gifts than War Bonds. When you give War Bonds you are truly giving the "present with a future” . . . not only for the future of the one who receives your gift, but for the future of the world as well. For, by buying and givigjg War Bonds you will bring Victory so much closer and help save the lives of clean, decent Americans . . . that more of them may come back to enjoy Christmas as Christmas should he. Think about this when you’re deciding what to give to those^ you hold most dear. 1 hink about it . . . and give War Bonds.
