CHRISTMAS.. A _ DELIGHTFpL CHANGE!

We ave in the midst of constant noise. Jets boom, sirens shrill;
every radio 'and television ad is announced bya crash or a twanging
guitar, and even the. National News now begins with an ugly and
strident series of electronic "beep -beeps."
Into all this din comes Christmas, and for a blessed two or
three' weeks the sounds : are different; The gay -lilt of carols, the excited
voices of children, the cheerful greetings 'exchanged by acquaintances
on the street, even the "Ito, ho, ho" of commercial Santas, are 'a .bles
sed change from the frenzy which is our usual diet:
. : Why are iwe;:zib /enamoured of all this racket? If we search: our
hearts, -;our best-moments_don'_t_come. with_a_teer, thea' steal upon us.
The bedtime hugs of children, their relaxed abandonment in sleep with
"deceptively angelic faces", :'a good Gala in a quiet corner with an .old
friend, moments of love between husband . and wife, the pride' in the
eyes of one "when the other has done something well -- these are the
cherished times for most of us:
Fanfarecan be dazzling and, it has its .limited place,' but the
heart's true homeland is in, the warmth and simplicity and faith, which
Christmas releases
