The principles he proclaimed were not popular with the prevailing powers of his time, and were not well understood by the people. And because his precelpts and principles apparently havp not prevailed, men have sometimes become cynical, have sometimes despaired, have sometimes lost hope and faith In the future. But the Christmas of spirit . Is proof of what life could be like when His precepts are put even Into partial prac-tlv- e. If there were no plan, no pattern, no purpose, If there were no Providence, no way provided for the solution of the problems, the depth of despair would be unbounded; but the fact Is that there Is an answer, that there Is a pattern for peace, which Is here and ever ready for us to turn to whenever mankind Is willing. After this holiday season we shall go back to our pressing problems, back to the Ptessure of the dally pursuits that make more and ever greater demands upon our patience. And as we do, we could well determine to take with us the spirit of Christmas which lights the eyes of children, and puts laughter on their lips, and mellows the hearts of men. In the words of Dickens: Nearer and dear- er to our hearts be the Christmas spirit. We extend our love and appreciation to all. May peace nd the Christmas of the spirit Season abide with you throughout the coming year. Sincerely, Lloyd P. George Scott A. Speaksman Frank L.
