For unto us a child is bom, wrote the prophet Isaiah, unto us a son is given ... and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. 'During this most precious season, when millions the world over pay tribute to one of the most significant events in the history of the world, we join in praise of Jesus, whose birth was, indeed, a momentous occasion, as were his life and ministry. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whomsoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. "This is my work and my glory, the Savior said, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. On another occasion, he declared, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Although the Lords condemnation of sin and hyprocrisy was implacable and swift, his message was also one of forgiveness, and of peace and joy, love and good will, If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love . . . that my joy might remain in u. and :lia! your joy nugh! be full. With the sweet sound of Christmas bells and carols in our ears, and in the loving warmth of family and home, let us join in praising the Lord with heart and voice. We pray that all families of the world will be blessed with the sweet influence of the spirit of the Lord, not only during this special season, but always. We know and declare that Jesus Christ is literally the Son of God; that he is the Savior and Redeemer of the World. We sing with the angel of the Lord and the multitude of the heavenly hosts, and with all mankind, Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.
