Still Stands
Unconquered
1942 GREETINGS FROM THIS BANK
^sn
CB
Like a city that cannot be taken, a
citadel that cannot be stormed, Christ-
a mas still stands triumphant, as it has
| st00^ throughout the centuries.
^ The blacker the misdeeds of men, the
whiter shines the Christmas light against
the background of human depravity.
War has robbed Christmas of much of
iS^s. its merriment this year, but it has re-
ffij^S^-vealed to us more clearly the eternal
Vfi\^ value of sacrifice for others and for the
things that are right.
Our hopes for the future, as always,
are centered in Him who said, "Be of
good cheer. It is I. Be not afraid."
