THE STAR IN THE EAST
Down through the ages has come the
story of the shepherds tending their
flocks at night, awed by the Star in
the Last.
During this sacred season, mellowed
by the thought of those who cannot be with us, we
have abundant reason for gratitude. We have come
a long way since the dark Christmas of 1941. The
Star in the East shines brighter now.
That this may, indeed, be a Merry Christmas for
you and yours is our ardent wish.
