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. U. OF TEXAS PROF. WOULD ADMIT RACE hy it S. HI’GBES AUSTIN •AN Pi —J.
