Christmas is at the top of the year although it
comes in mid-winter. 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

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.

jSk NOTHER year of grace draws to a
happy close. 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.

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.
