PAGE 2. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1972, WHITBV FREE PRESS PAGE r-di«tral ----- Pea ce on Earth Pcuce o11 earth and goudwill tu ail meni. A simple phrase but one wilîi lias rumg duwn througli the yc'arý ai the Yuletide seasun as the Christian wurld pays liumage Io the birth uf Clirist. SThiat event, almuost 1973 years ugo, lias liad a pro- found effect on the wurld, its people and thieir way of*ifce. It was truc Mienî it huppened and it's equally truc today. As mientioned, it's a simple phrase but une uf sucli iiipurtî il followed, miost of' the day-to-day prublemis of our world would vanîsli overnight. Peace on earthi! A goal fura i ai uklnd lu strive l'or. ,But nu malter lîow liard the rnajurity uf the peuples km tlîis earîlî yearn for it. il always scemis lu be just beyoîîd our grasp. Guodwill tu alnmen! A lufty pronouncemient and une equally desirable iin the minds of peuple everywhere. Yeî, liere tou, wefll fui shurt of the miark- buth individuaily and collectively. Despite the sentimentis expressed in ibis ufi repeated phrase, we can'l help but wundcr whether we really believe it or inerely pay lip service tu un ideal whichi we hiave lit tIc faith in as it is reflecîed ini our day-lu-day living. And the word faill i my be the key lu it ail. If we have faith in this îîîuch-sîrived-for ideal thien why cun't il happen? If we luck fajîli why are we su surprised whien we fail short? Faith has a different ineaning lu rnany peuple. Faitli in religion. Falîli in our way of life. Faith ini others. Fuithi in ourselves. Thiese are ail definitions which cone easily 10 mmnd. However, faill ini the optimumi ideal of peace un earth, goodwill to ail men is une lu which t00 few uffLIs subseribe wiîh the belief necessary lu miake il coîne about. At this holiday seasun why can it not be possible for each of- us, in his own way, tu reflect un îthe true mieaning of the phrase and put il mbt practice? Faith in thie truc ideal, by even une addîionul persun. could be a great beginning. Earîhquakes sturt with a snîull tremor. Avalanches with the shifting utf une grain of sand. Peace on earth, goodwill to ail mien. lt's a wunderful sentiment for this limie of year. lî's a wonderful sentiment for ail times of the year. To oui readers everywhere we extend best wislies l'or the iîîerrîesî uf Chrisîmiases and the happiest of New Years.' Give of yourself- love, peace and un- derstanding. lt's a holiday for shoring bountiful blessings.
