The magic of the Christmas season is laying its hold upon the land. The tinsel, the lights and decorations, the holly wreaths are all up and millions of children know that it is the time for Santa Claus. They hope that he will in some mys terious way visit their home in the shimmering silence of the night before Christmas. This is a time for children, and it is a time too for all men and women in all lands to re member the wonder of the Lord’s birth on the first Christ mas so long ago. It is the pow er of this happening that puts magic in this season and lends the light of hope and under standing to all the world’s people. Let this Christmas be for children—may it bring the warmth of a fire, the smell of a tree, the excitement that is so prevalent at this time of year. Let us all remember why we celebrate Christmas. It is a time to be thankful we live in this wonderful world. This is the season when we i eceive many cards and Christ mas letters from friends of long standing. One such greet ing contained the following message along with a resume of what the family had done this past year. It is in a relig ious'vein and I feel it Is well worth passing on to our read ers of The Enterprise. "For our people the Bible story reads . . . for unto us a Child is bom, unto us a Son is given and the govern ment shall be upon His should ers and His name shall he cal led Wonderful, Councellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. Let us pray for the men and women In the service that strength and courage abund- ;mtly be given to all who work for a world of reason and un derstanding. That the good that lies in every man’s heart may day by day be magnified. That men will come to see more clearly not that which divides them, but that which unites them. That each hour may bring us closer to a final vic tory, not of nation over nation, but of man over his own evils and weaknesses. That the true spirit of this Christmas sea son—its’ job, its’ beauty, its’ hope and above all its’ abiding faith may live among us. That the blessing of peace be ours— the peace to build and grow, to live in harmony and sympathy with others and to plan f:r the future with confidence. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, will not perish, hut shall have everlasting life.” Basic Education Classes To Resume Beginning January 6 The adult basic education classes which have been held in the Mill City Elementary school will resume after the holidays on Monday, January 6.
