EDITORIAL NOTE: Because
of certain mechanical and transpor-
tation difficulties, this column of
Mrs. Clarke's may` reach some of
its widely -spread readers after the
actual "Christmas Day" is over.
The thoughts expressed in it, how.
ever, are dateless, They might
well be read and pondered, over
and over again, from now till next
Christmas. — And a long time
beyond.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS
EVERYONE!
Happy Christmas) Cast your
worries away . , forget that you
ever were tired . , . join in the fun
and laughter of the children .. ,
drop that chip off your shoulder
--for now we approach the. Day of
Days. This is Christmas—this is
the Birthday of the Prince of Peace.
This is the anniversary of that day
--the first to receive that stirring
message given to the world—"Peace
on earth—goodwill towards Men."
5. * *
Peace on earth, yon say—)low
can we hope for it any more? 1
know . , . it doesn't seem reason-
able to even think of it—there is
so little we can do about it. But
remember the rest of that message
goodwill towards men, There is
something vie ran do about that.
\Ve can, each in our own way, he
kind and generous, thoughtful and
forgiving, with all those with whom
we come in contact. We cannot,
of ourselves, bring peace on earth,
but goodwill toward men is quite
within our po•,ver, And if each of
us, all over the world, did no more
than that, there would lie "peace
on earth."
fauy
Oil cu:tonts have died
through the ages but the obser-
vance of Christmas has been per-
petuated for almost 2000 years. Ito
every Christian country it is the
best -loved and the most widely
celebrated season of the year. Its
•continued survival depends upon
us. It is for us to see that old
customs and traditions, passed down
through centuries, are not forgot-
ten. Remember Russia! Aussie at
one time celebrated Christmas just
as eagerly as ; : do. Now, in Rus-
sia, there is nu Christmas—no re-
cognition of the birth of Christ.
11 anyone i:: Russia were to sing
a '.'hristma, carol the chances are
he would be reported—wi.h heaven
knows what punishment meted out
to hitt),
So let us al; do what v.e car
to cherish the Christmas spirit,
Because the :corld is in a turmoil
don't let us forget to wish all our
friends a Httr,'py Christmas. hap-
piness begets happiness: \Ve can
spread cheer or gloom—which shall
it be? Even if there are no children
in the family, no one to welcome
home for the Inristmas season, let
us not forget to shote some sign
we arc in sympathy with those who
celebrate—a light in the window,
festive decorations, a phone tall to
a new neighbour, an invitation to
a lonely soul for Christmas dinner.
As we are, so Christmas is.
k` J- 5
Think of this old couple living;
alone. They Lad had two sons-•
-both had beetkilled in World War
1. One would think they had little
to celebrate but every year the old
lady Insisted on having a small
Cbristnins tree and a light in the
window on Christmas Eve, Some-
times her husband protested --"Nb
one's going to see your light, Abby
just waste of good coal -oil,"
This old couple lived in the country
and One stormy Christmas Eve the
dog barked furiously, and above the
bowl of the wind, a knock was
heard at the door. OId Hirano hur-
ried to answer it. On the step was
a youngish fellow, breathless and
worried, "1\'e are stranded, at your
gate. My wife and children , .. we
can't get any further. We saw your-
light—may we cootie its?"
By this time Abby was on the
scene, "Of course you may come
in. Don't you worry, young man—
just get your wife and those blessed
children. There's only Hiram and
ate but there's lots to spare if you
have to spend your Christmas with
us."
Soon the travellers -were warmed
and fed. The children were tucked
up in the spare -room bed, already
made up—"Just in case . ." as
Abby put it. Ken thought it a big
adventure but Garry began to fuss.
Scraps of conversation drifted out
to the kitchen, "1 wanna go to
Grandma's," whimpered Garry. "1
don't vaunc stay here—Santa Claus
remit know- where to find us."
"Stupid," answered his brother
scornfully, "'course he'll know
where to find us. Didn't you see ---
there was a light it: the a'indotal,,
The ehib:tistm words rctiched
Abby. ir. was encugh-•-the old lady's
lace was ogles; t* itlt hoppiress.
•
eVe, too, can keep it light in our
window. Maybe not • in quite the
same way as Abby did—but a light •
nevertheless, A light kept glowing
with the traditions of all the
Christmases .behind us; a light to
lead the wi.y for future generations,
who. in the speed and stress of life -
may get streeded a storms not of
their making. We must 1st never let
that ligi.t go tut. We must replen-
ish it with fuel---hy our faith in
ultimate peace on earth at. good-
will towards men. We must say
wit': oar lips and Trish wi.h our
hearts --a IIAPFr CHRISTMAS
to EVERYONE. That, too, is nor
