PAGE TWO Hold Fast ... • There are times, in these days, when we are prone to think that it is a pretty miserable world we live in. Of course, it isn't as God intended it to be, and the fault is largely ours anc, not His. But it is not the fact that so many millions of folks the world over, can and do truly wish and pray for "Peace on Earth,• Good Will to ward Men," a ray of hope, just as was the Star that shone over Bethlehem? So let us hold fast to the promise of that Star. and say with thankful hearts, this Holy Christmastide. "God bless us, everyone." —John H. Frizzell College Chaplain Emeritus It's Upon Us The Christmas Spirit is upon us, in us, all around us. It will not be denied. It shouts blantantly from commercial advertisements; it sings softly from radio speakers; it laughs joy cusly under evergreen trees and flashes in colored lights in every town throughout the nation. IT WALKS REVERENTLY into the churches, hastens happily down dark little streets with baskets for the ,needy, crowds into huge de partment stores and spends money lavishly. "A Merry Christmas," it shouts. And echoes and re-echoes shout "A Merry Christmas" in answer as they gradually fade into silence, • yet still ring in one's ears. The Christmag Spirit is everywhere. It crawls through crevices stuffed with rags to keep out the cold in slums and tenement areas; it edges its way through keyholes and padlocks in the exclusive residential sections. HARD HEART, SOFT HEART, indifferent heart—they all succumb to the wiles of a busy body Christmas Spirit, and, as was even Scrooge in Dickens' immortal "Christmas Carol,' are made the better for it. • LOVEABLE, LAUGHABLE Christmas Spirit. Gay, happy, carefree' Christmas Spirit, Spirit that makes smiles where there were no smiles before; Spirit that makes this cold, indifferent world a better place to live in—it is too bad that your life is so short. It is terrible that after a few short weeks you shall find doors closed against you and cold hearts temaining cold even though you try your best to warm them. It is too bad that the poor will be neglected, that smiles will drop from faces, that envy, greed and jealousy will take your place in hearts where you have reigned for such a short while. Couldn't you, some way, even by bribery or trickery, make arrangements to stay after the evergreen and colored lights have come down? Couldn't you lease the hearts you are now liv ing in for the rest of the year? Couldn't you make it an airtight lease so that no one could break it and happiness and fellowship would be permanent instead of so. fleeting? DO YOUR BEST, Christmas Spirit, by fair means or foul, to make, this a better world. —Herbert Nipson, in the Penn State Collegian 1939 OIR Elattg Collegian Succesoor, , to TUE FREE LANCE. oat.
