Description

Christmas: Christmas has always been one of the happiest holidays for Americans. By older people it has long been observed as the birthday of Christ, while the younger folk have prized it as a day of gifts and joy. This year, with a large part of the world struggling for survival, there are few Christian countries left outside our own in a position to observe the festival. Indifference might lead us to celebrate this year as usual. But there are many who see a special significance in Christmas, 1941. They see the freedom of many peoples endangered. They see the struggle drawing closer to our own shores. They see Christianity itself hanging in the balance as the world battle goes on. These are sobering thoughts and only the unquestioning faith of those who share them can support the hope that some day order will again come out of chaos, right will prevail and a new and better world will be seen.
