More than ever before, we
should be moved by the Christ
mas message of “peace on earth,
good will toward men ” Ameri
cans face grave problems today,
problems that will not be solved
easily or immediately. But we
can remember that despite any
bleakness that confronts us, no
other nation, now or in the past,
has offered so much, spiritually
and materially, to her citizens
As we consider that point, we
might also resolve to do those
things that will assure greater
blessings in the days ahead. Af
ter all, the real joy of Christ
mastime is that the world reaf
firms its faith that life has mean
ing and purpose and that man
has a mission.

The spirit of Christmas indi
cates that in one way or another
men of good will pievail and
look forward to a brighter fu
ture. I have confidence that
many of the problems will be
solved once such men make the
necessary effort. Perhaps that
time is not so far away At least,
the bitter mood of the nation is
not so much one of unreasoned
divisiveness, but of frustration.
And, frustrations can be resolv
ed with the application of some
real understanding.
We often wonder how world
peace can be achieved, how ten
sions and frustrations can be
ended, and how our personal re
lationships might be made real
and meaningful. The search for
the answers goes on in books, in
art, in philosophy and in the
political arena. Yet, the Christ
mas spirit begun in Bethlehem
hundreds of years ago offers an
answer peace for those who
are themselves of good will. It
