CHRISTMAS came to the world as a new horizon for men's tliou|;lits. It bronght to mankind a new ineaniiif; for civilization. A spiritual and brotherly relationship never exjicrieneed before filled the hearts of men. The world has gone through many stages, many trials, many changes. And throughout the centuries, wherever men kept the spirit of brotherhood constant, there the meaning, the symholie beauty of Christmas remained. It is true that this Yuletide finds the world bcsinirchctl with war . . . but among the peoples of all countries, a loftier expression of good will and fraternity defiantly moves forward, more deeply imbedded, with the sanctity of Christmas, a s]iirit that can never be broken or forced from the hearts of men. Our message of Christinas cheer ibis year is not a mere jihrase. Wherever the holiday sjiirit is exchanged, the glow of its warmth is a call to re-install its virtues in every corner of the globe . . . Good Vkill toward Men ... of all bmds who hold dear the brotherhood of Man ... In the spirit of Christmas, a Merry Christmas to you
