CHOOSE YOUR OWN “I entitled this message “You Can Choose Your Christ- mas!" Yes. gentlemen, it is a matter of personal choice. the Christmas which you and I will spend this year. From the very beginning. Christmas has been the result of delib- erate decision. “Nineteen hundred years ago. the people of a little hill-town called Bethlehem settled for other things — for the pleasures and profits of the world which had suddenly invaded their quiet streets. They made their choice and received their re- ward. But a group of shepherds and a little hand of wise-men were of a different mind. They elected to seek out a lowly sta- ble. and to make obeisance be- fore a child, a Mother, a Fam- ily. And their reward? They found wonder and worship - and a blessing which would shine in their hearts for ever. You see they had chosen Christmas. “Today, you and I can choose our Christmas just as surely as those ancients. Let us choose wisely. A FAMILY CHRISTMAS “Let us choose a family Christmas. Inspired by the Holy Family of Bethlehem. let us make a vow that this Christmas we will re-affirm the glory of the Christian family. Let us re- kindle the hearth-fire of our af- fection for each other. and for the stranger within our gates. 31, Let each father he a Joseph. - strong. devoted, wise. Let each mother he a Mary, — winsome. pure, loving.

The years are passing, and each one is bring- ing us a little nearer to the great solution of all mysteries. “Some day for each of us the light will grow more clear bey- ond the Christmas star. the songs of the angels will swell louder and more near, and in their music the voices of the world will be hushed to rest.
