"If our Christmas this year is to reflect the sacrcdness of that first Christmas, we, too, must know and declare the Divine Sonship of Jesus Christ. "This Christmas and each day in the New Year before us, let us talk of Christ, preach of Christ, and pray to God in the name of Christ, in order that we, our children, and all mankind may be influenced and blessed by the Div ine Son of God whose birth we celebrate at Christmas time. Let us each individually and with out families reverently bring the teachings of the scriptures into our daily living. They proclaim that the right way is to believe in Christ and deny Him not, and to worship Him with all our might, mind, and strength, and our whole soul. "If we will do these things, we then will eagerly and gratefully join in the joyful anthem. 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,' that filled the heavens at the birth of Jesus Christ. Then we will contemplate the conduct of our lives and mend our ways whercfieeded so that, indeed, the promised peace and good will of Christmas mav be ours now and r forever. That all mankind may do so and rejoice in the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ is our fervent Christmas prayer and blessing.
