Let prayers and songs of praise ascend;

For victories en the seas and coasts.

O’ar mines with swift destruction fraught,
Through fiery storm of shell and shot.

My Dear Peop! e of St. Johns:
Since I cannot he with you
Christmas season I feel as
message might be appropri
Over nineteen hundred years ago,
on a frosty December night, a child
was born in a stable in the little town
of Bethlehem of Judea. There, among
the animals, was the infant Savior
brought into the world.
As the of herald angels
echoed and re-echoed over the moonlit
gardens, across the shining waters
and up p the terraced hills, telling all
natic ! a King was born, that

Think what particular significance
is attached to the Christmas season
this year! The war is over; the boys
are coming home to brighten family
firesides from coast to coast. Rest
has come to millions of shell-shocked,
battle-scarred heroes. Cheer and
comfort has stilled the quivering
breasts of anxious women and help-
less babes. A new gleam of hope
brightens the eyes of the sons of men
as they trudge along the path of du-
ty.
And is that all? No! A greater
triumph has been gained. In this
gladsome season we not only celebrate
the birth of Christ, but we also re-
joice in the fact that the close of this
war has marked another downfall of
unrighteousness and sin, and a new
crowning of the age-old principles of
truth, honesty, kindness, humility,
love and service—the very same ideals
that dominated the life of the Beth-
lehem babe, the man of Gallilee, the
Savior of the world.
And today as our eyes fall upon the
crumbling ruins of a nation built up-
on the foundation stones of greed,
lust, boastfulness, trickery, barbarism,
and blood and iron militarism, and as
we see our own nation still secure and
firm, and her flag shining forth with
added glories, we should realize more
deeply, as the Bible tells us, that
“righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a curse to any people.” With
a new and added meaning come the
golden words of the poet who wrote:
“Truth crushed to (arth will rise again,
But error, wounded, writhes with pain
And dies among her worshippers.”
And now as we look back and see
how the nations have endured only
when they were founded upon the
ideals of Christ, shouldn’t we pick up
the lesson so clearly shown, and from
day to day try to build our individual
structures upon the eternal principles
of righteousness and truth, and strive
also to fashion our lives after the pat-
tern of our blessed Lord and Savior?

With this ‘appeal my Christmas mes-
sage closes.
Am more than sorry that I cannot
be with you to share the joy and cheer
of ‘this happy season, but I hope to be
with you before many weeks have
passed. With this brief message go
my prayers for the progress of our
church, for your individual health and
happiness, and my most sincere wish
to each and every one of you for a
merry, old-fashioned Christmas and
the best New Year that you have ever
enjoyed. With a hearty hand-grasp
across the miles, I am
Sincerely your pastor,
