to pass.
The years that are gone are graveyards in which all the pei -
suasions of men have crumbled into dust.
If history has any voice, it is to say that all these ways of men
lead nowhere
There remains one way- The Way untried
untested.
unexplored fully .
the way of Him Who was born a Babe in Bethlehem.
In a world that seems not only to be changing, but even to be
dissolving, there are some tens of millions of us who want
Christmas to be the same ...
with the same old greeting "Merry Christmas and no other.
We long for the abiding love among men of good will which the
season brings ... . . .
believing ih this ancient miracle of Christmas with its softening
sweetening influence to tug at our heart strings once again.
We wint to hold on to the old customs and traditions because
they strengthen our family ties,
hind us to our friends,
make us one with all mankind
tor whom the Child was born, and bring us back again to the God
Who gave His only begotten Son, that "whosoever believeth
m Him. should r. >t peiish. but have eternal life.”
So we will not "spend” Christmas . . .
nor "observe” Christmas.
We will "keep" Christmas keep it as it is . . .
in all the loveliness of its ancient traditions.
Mav we keep it in our hearts, that we may be kept in its hope .
