Christ was born at a time when things were Party for Children at South Porcupine as serious as they are toâ€"day, when the yoke of the Roman Empire was causing turmoil in Palestine. The mesâ€" sage He gives us is just as vivid toâ€" day: "Glory to God, Peace on Earth, Goodwill to men." This should be unâ€" derstood by the world toâ€"day. "Be a Christian." said our M.P. "It is the greatest civilizer in the world. Study Christ‘s "Sermon on the Mount;" it will teach you to be perfect citizens andâ€"to live in peace, love and charity with your fellow men."
