THE CAROLINIAN SINCERELY WISHES YOU A JOYFUL
CHRISTMAS AND A NEW YEAR OF
PEACE AND PROSPERITY
The seng the angels sr.rrj et lb* first Christmas echoes
over the world again at this time. The angelic choir heralding
the birth of the Prince of Peac. proclaimed. "Peace on earth
to men of good will." That was not the announcement cf
a fact accomplished, hut the prophecy of a thing to dsme.
The prophecy is. not yet fulfilled; but at the Christmas
season in this Year of our Lord 1946 we can believe that
there are more men of good will in the world than ever
before, at least in recent times.
The world is certainly more hungry for peace than as
any lime in the memory of living men. In recent mdnths
the United Nations Organisation hai> made some real it halt”
irtg progress toward permanent peace and world justice. Im
perialists have begn balked; dictators have been rebuked;
the slow and painful movement toward peace and righteous
nMt among the nations has continued, letting in a ray of
hope on a world still gripped by selfishness, greed, strife*
and man's inhumanity to man,
'■n cut own country there have, been heartening signs
that the gospel of Brotherhood procaimed by him who was
the Babe of Bethlehem is being pondered with ever greater
seriousness by many who profess His religion.
ihe song oi the angels was, a prophecy of things to
come. At least during this season, we may. if we wiR. find
reasons for doping and believing that the day of pga.ee and
good will, the theme of lhe angelic song, is nearer.
j w»c years ago at this time millions of the world's young
men were racked srs mortal combat. In our country today
millions who were so engaged at Christmas time in 1944
*;e studying the arts of peace. Is it too much to hope that
sons will never know the experience of their fathers?
Ai this time we may rejoice for the goed that is, and
| P**y for the greater good that is to be.
