Without this spirit men cannot live happily and successfully. success-fully. A ray of hope' came to earth and told men how to live richly and fully. Men, through the ages, have had some philosophy of life, but Christ introduced the first reai philosophy. We all hope that some day soon every man will understand under-stand the meaning of sincerity and simplicity. After wars are over, men will find happiness, success and love because many centuries ago, a child was born. Today, humanity needs Christ's method of teaching to convert the people into a feeling of brotherhood brother-hood to our fellowmen. If Christ so successfully taught the people of his day, why could we not use his methods and procure a steadfast stead-fast feeling of friendliness among all men no matter what their creed or color? The younger generation of Germany Ger-many has been taught that nothing matters except a war of victory. If they have been taught so wrongly wrong-ly in the last twenty years would not it be possible to teach, in the same number of years, the youth and posterity of all nations, the meaning of love, kindness and an understanding of our fellowman? The younger generation of our nation appreciates all good things of life. They know Christ was the greatest man on earth, and his "life is commemorated by our favorite season, Christmas. |
