1 John 4:7.
CHRISTMAS IS NEEDED ALL YEAR 'ROUND
1 Looking ,back on the Christmas season is apt to make a
man wish that we could find some way of making a per
manent, everyday thing out of the social consciousness which
the' season- always seems to bring us.
Christmas time sets us thinking about the other fellow
and his trials. It persuades us to reach out a helping hand
to give liini: a .lift," if lie neeils it. Por a' few brief weeks,
every year, we let ourselves come fairly close to a realization
of the' olid dream of humanity's brother hood.
And a whole lot of the troubles that weigh our planet down
would be lightened beyond, belief if we could manage to hold
to that attitude the year around. '"' '
Think of the way it woi;ks out at Christmas time.
Several weeks before the holiday we begin worrying about
those whom financial or other misfortune is apt to deprive of
.the holiil;'!tradi,Up.iYiIeKes and' blessings.
Newspapers, welfare organizations, clubs and business or
ganisations' make a poinl; of looking for unhappiness and re
lieving it." All' of us get together and do what' we can to
help. " '"
We do a pretty good job, too, for the most part. And we
do it, not because we're unusually. kind-hearted and unselfish
but simply because at Christmas time wp get our eyes ppeni
We become aware of the misery Which surrounds us: onctf
aware' of it, we can't enjoy our own blessings' unless wdf
somehow, manage to share them with the'JesS fortunate.
rt In other words,. at Christmas we develop social consciences.
The result is & brief but splendid display of human Bolidarityj.
: Once Christmas is over, it vanishes. But, while it lasts, i$
gives' us an inkling of the possibilities. ' We gjJt a chance to
see what the world could bo like if we were aware of the
other fellow's 'troubles 'all the time, instead of just once a
year.. - a'::; ' ;. " ; '"'''.
', And that, when you stop to think, about it, is just about
all; we need! Once we're aware of them; wo do something
about them, "fho heartlessness and indifference which the
world so often displays to the unfortunate don't conic )ecause
we are mean, but because we are blind.
: If we could hold to the social consciousness of Christmas
time and make it a part of our everyday life, this country
would be an infinitely happier place..
