The Man of Nazareth
OMETIMES we feel that it is but a workaday world.
Then comes Christmas, and we honor the Man of Naz
S
areth. It was a glad day on earth when He was born. There
is eternal hope and promise in His sacrifice at death.
The gifts we exchange at this time of year are but
tokens—earthly reminders of His great gifts to mankind.
The holiday lights that gleam everywhere are but the re
flections of the Star of Bethlehem. The laughter of happy
children at Christmas time is but the echo of the joy He
brought into the world.
As each year passes, we realize how much we need
the Man of Nazareth, His love and understanding, His good
ness and courage, His humility.
“Joy to the world, the Lord has come” was sung two
thousand years ago. And because He is still with us, we
who publish your newspaper repeat the refrain, “Joy to
the world,” as we wish you
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
