It is the holiday of holidays. “ is lon£ looked forward to and long remem- beie(k More of joyous and wholesome sentiment gathers around the Christ-child celebration than any other festival or observance. Christmas is often called the children’s day. It is as truly the parents’ day. It is everybody’s day. It should be the world’s happiest day. To make it such those who have abundance should share with those who have need. Cur greatest joy at this season should be in TU ESD A YS AND F R ID A Y S gi\ ing. Even children should be encouraged in this. Readers of the Outlook are urged to think of the needy and give generously to the agencies and institu tions that aid the needful. Some of these are pre sented in the stories in this issue. The Outlook wishes its many readers and friends from the youngest to the oldest, a Merry Christmas, â joyous holiday season, and an auspicious beginning of a bright and happy New Year. Appreciation is expressed to the many writers, ad vertisers, well wishers and patrons of the Outlook who have helped to make this holiday issue possible.

A few days more and we w rite a new year at the top of the page of history. As we look back over its record we see no great over-topping event in our nation or in other nations. On the surface just the same old struggle of the race to press onward and upward. The usual strifes of men and factions and political groups, each trying to find its rightful place, each seeking to express its indi viduality. each striving to work out its destiny. We see the same kind of successes and failures as in the past. There have been short comings, disasters, suf fering and deaths. Laws have been broken, righteousness scoffed at, justice flouted and mercy and love crucified. But truth has gained some headway, puri ty is more respected, goodness is more ex alted, tolerance is more general, freedom's torch burns brighter and the angel of peace hov ers nearer. C harity is more active and wide spread than ever before. m W w Christmas 1923 All the a rts and sciences have advanced, religion has advanced, hum anity has advanced. C hristm as 1923 dawns upon a larger, happier, better world than any th a t have preceded it. It is for us as individuals to capitalize our blessings, enlarge the horizon of our vision and extend our efforts to make the sp irit of Christm as more perm anent, fnore widespread and more dominant.
