For unto you is born this "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord." This was the message of the angel who appeared to shepherds as they watched thei rflocks by night on the plains of Judea nineteen hundred forty-fivyears ago. It is the message of Christmas today as we celebrate the birth of our Lord. What joy comes to those who have faith in that angelic proclamation! What hope and peace comes to human hearts when we realize its meaning! It tells us that we have a loving and omnipotent Father who sent His Eldest Son to earth to be our Redeemer. It tells us that through His sacrifice all mankind wiH live again after the passing of this mortal breath; that through repentance we may have our sins forgiven; that through obedience to His laws we will have eternal life in His Kingdom. It tells that regardless of strife and commotion in the earth and dark clouds threatening the nations, there is hope and peace for everyone who truly loves God and his fellow men. Let us therefore at this Christmas season look upward to God with hope and faith. Let us be grateful for the blessings He has given. Let us cherish the good tidings the angels brought. Let us remember our prayers and the great commandment: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy might, mind and strength, nnd thy neighbor as thyself." If we do these things we shall have strength for every day and courage for every trial; Christmas will be a joyful season and the coming year will be a year of growth and happiness. We pray for the blessings of the Lord to attend all our fellow laborers of Juab Stake, We pray that our young men In the service of our country will be protected from harm and evil and that they may know that they are remembered at home and their service is appreciated. We pray that those who have rt turned to their homes after weary months of hardship and danger will find peace and happiness in mingling again with their loved ones and friends. We pray that comfort will come to those who have been called upon to part with the companionship of dear ones. May the Spirit of the Lord abide with them at Christmas and in the nrw year We are grateful for our association with stake officers and officers of and members of the wards in Juab Stake, for their willingness to devote their time and talents and means in service for their fellow men. We are grateful for the cooperation of public officials, law enforcement officers and civic organizations. May friendship and goodwill continue to prevail In our communities and may hop?, faith and charity abide in the hearts of all the people at Christmas time and throughout the coming year.
