their pastor rev dt morrow who has been in city following an operation lie is t ecember has come and once again the bells ring out their song of peace goodwill and glory to the highest they pro claim that love is eternal and ever triumphant that it beareth all things hopeth all things endureth all things and that it never faileth if there was ever a time in the long history of mankind when goodwill should be exercised when love should reign in private and public life when peace shouid find her home at the fireside and in the councils of the nations it is now for evep now men and women and children are being taught to chant their hymns of hate and despite the progress which men boast the whole world seems sadly out of joint so the bells of christmas ring again in the hope that above the tumult and the strife the ears of some may catch the music of the angels song it comes to young and old to wealthy and to poor to individuals communities and nations it is a world message for all the centuries it will never grow old even insight shall fail and tongues or nations pass away but love shall abide forever at christmas time it will creep into our homes it will bind together parents and children in the great adventure of living it will manifest itself not only in the exchange of material gifts but in the sharing of af fection and sympathy there is no greater solace to parents than the affection of their children nor is there greater need by the children than the expressed love and companionship of those they revere as father and mother beyond the family the christmas cheer will flow in many channels there are the poor and needy and all who sorrow and are acquainted with grief there is helpless childhood and even more helpless old age and there is ever the growing army of the unemployed should there be evasion of responsibility and should shelter be sought in the worldold inquiry am i my brothers keeper the answer is given by him who was once a babe in bethlehem tou shah love thy neighbor as thyself and if it could be that in every land those who are fearful revengeful unscrupulous or those who in bitterness remember ancient wrongs or are controlled by prejudice arid passion could only near and heed the christmas carillon how soon would the diseased world recover from its ills then would nations solve their problems in peace and quiet then would arms and armaments disappear then would the weak man love the great man and the wealthy minister to the neces sities of the poor there is no other solution for sin and wrong than this that personally and collectively men should follow the way of peace and goodwill and in their lives proclaim glory to the highest locals juniors go to manager harry ooldham did what most people thought bnposstble when he
