For this I* Christmas — the time of “peace on
earth, good will toward men."
For both the pioua and the frivolous, Christmas is
squally a day of happiness. It is the one holiday of
the year when mankind forgets Its meanness, the
day when all men are brother*.
For the kiddle*, Christmas will arrive with Santa
Clays and hla bag of toy*. For them it aeema diktat-
maa'mornlng will never come. This expectant wait-
ing, half fearful that Sant* may have forgotten you,
can be trying on the nerves.
Churches throughout the ore* will observe Christ-
Tnas with special services. These sevlceo will" Include
sermons on ths birth of Christ, plays and cantata*.
