The story goes that a chid was horn some nineteen hundred years ago who came into the world to bring lasting peace and goodw ill among the world. Through the ages His Philosophy has been retained, developed and expanded until it has grow n into the form of a strong desire by the nations of the earth for a world wide brotherhood and the kind of firm, mutual understanding which will prevent forever devastating conflagrations in the form of wars, involving all or any of the powers of the world. The Christm as spirit knows no state or national boundary lines. Peace, not in one section alone nor indeed in one nation a- lone, but on all the earth and good-wll to all mankind. This is Christmas. O n e’s view is broadened by these m ighty conceptions for the real Christmas spirit means no less, and its highest pur pose need not mean more.
