T'S good to know that Chrintma*
holds the sanie old warmth, the same note
oí good chwr and good fellowship, that
makes this season the most glorious of
thom all.
Following ■ custom of long standing,
w* offer this message of good will In th«
■ame old friendliness that oomes only
from associations of long standing.
Christmas makes glad the hearts of all
and we are truly grateful for an occasion
that makes each of us more considerate of
our fellowman. Too often we neglect to
tell our friends and loved ones the kind
thoughts we have for them. All too often
we fail to express our thanks for the many
blessings and favors that come our way.
Christmas, then, is doubly welcome. We
are each mindful of the deeds and thoughts
of others and we find it appropriate to ex-
press the finest wishes to those about us.
Would that each of us would sustain this
attitude through the days to come. As for
us, we pledge to strive for that goal, today,
tomorrow, and every day.
A delightful Christmas to you, efriends.
