Hatred, fear, doubt and selfishness have been cast out and man knows real pleasure. So today let us away with all strife and enjoy and abide by the song of the Heavenly Hosts: "tJlorjr to God in the Highest And on earth peace anions men in wuom he is well pleased." Today the earth is wrapped about by a beautiful mantle of peace and good will. Enfolding the entire world it binds men closer together in a brotherhood of love and service. Its warming influence fills the hearts and souls of men. It leads all into paths of real happiness and joy. It suf fuses the entire land, . this holy peace about which the angels sang on the far off Judean hills. It has echoed and re-echoed through each, passing year and today is as stirring and vivid as on that first Christmas day. - Peace and good will may they continue not for an hour, or for a day, or for a year but for all time to come. .
