Christmas Greetings

This is the month of Christ mas; the most important feast time in the Christian's annual calendar; the time for rejoicing and the one time in the year when petty personal prejudices should be put aside and that time-old cliche “Peace on Earth” be not only spoken but put into practice.

For every reader I hope these good things may come to pass.

And, furthermore, I trust this humane and realistic attitude towards our fellow-men may con tinue throughout the years that are to come. May our striving towards happy relationship be not only on a personal basis be tween individuals, but extend towards a political rapport be tween nations of every creed and colour.

Let a sincerity of purpose urge us on to an understanding and gracious tolerance of the dif ferent global ideologies to wards a universal unity for peaceful living.

And the keynote to such an objective (as I see it) is tolerance.
