C H R ISTM AS AND GOOD W IL L
C hrist mas, the season o f jo y and good cheer, is devoted
to the m ind and soul instead o f to the physical body. It is
a tim e when we should elim inate spite, bad feeling, and ill
hum or, and not neglect those who have a rig h t to our a t­
tention and care.
N ot only to the person to whom it is extended but to
hundreds o f others good w ill engenders good w ill. Like
m any m irro rs in a room, good w ill reflects and reflects a
countless num ber o f images— m ultiplies w ith o u t end. P ro f­
fe rin g good w ill to one may effect thousands.
IX) y o u r p a rt to reflect this great C hristm as s p irit!
Good w ill costs nothing but is the most valuable g ift m an­
kind can receive.
