HOLIDAYS WITH THE HOME FOLKS Former Alliance Lady Arrived Yes terday with Little Son for a Visit with Parents S 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 The Herald follows trie usual custom of newspa pers in coming to its readers at this time with a wish for a "Merry Christmas";! but we desire to express, if possible, more than a mere formal greeting. We would that every reader of these lines might enter fully into the real Christmas spirit. This is the particular time of all the year when strife should cease, when petty differences of opinion should no longer separate those, of whatever belief or creed they may chance to he, whose purposes and aims are to be right and do right.. After all, the theology of Christmastide is not o hard to comprehend that honest hearts need differ as to its meaning. "Peace on earth, good will" was the simple mes sage of the angels' song that broke the stillness of the night on the Bethlehem plains more than nineteen cen turies ago; but it was the sweetest story that the mes sengers of heaven ever brought to earth, the story of a Redeemer's love for mankind. "Good tidings of great joy that shall be to all people." Our best wish is that the great joy might be as universal in the hearts of the people as it is in its provision for the happiness of all. The light that broke upon the bewildered vision of the shepherds that Christmas night so long ago has shone around the world and the message of love and good will that greeted their ears has resounded, in ev ery clime until the "Fatherhood of God and the Broth erhood of Man" have come to be accepted more largely than ever before in the world's history. There can be nothing better for humanity in the glad Christmas time than that the joy and peace pro claimed in the angels' chant may till the hearts and di rect the lives of all. And for this The Herald most earnestly wishes in sending forth the season's greetings. 8 S S 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 s Grandpa TZbt Real Santa Claus Mrs. F. A.
