When we reflect on all, this woe, it is easy to despair of both individuals and society. But not at Christmas. happier aspect of mankind is revealed. Human beings can be As we prepare for this lestiv o unselfish and tender too, and the heartening message of this season is that we can trust these qualities. We are as capable of love as of hate, of idealism as of cynicism, and on them the world makes its slow but not always insubstantial gains. Deepair always fetters; it is love that inspires.

Of cota-se, the renewal of relationships;• the spirit of giving and the goodwill of the season are a natural res- ' • ponse to the love given at Christmas, but unless we ,find its, 'basis in the love made real in Jesus, we miss the true meaning ..of Christmas. Our cause for rejoicing in the Christmas /season comes because we discOver the fulness of God's' love made real in the flesh of a Man. N„ow 'we know that God is not distant or aloof • from us.
