Model 303 $U9.9S Ute a magic Christmas. Happiness presupposes peace, peace with God, with ourselves,, and our fellewman. That peace for which all the hearts of men are yearn ing can be found only in the Christ child. “He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us," says St. Paul. Through faith in Jesus our sins are blotted out; we have peace with God and ourselves. Then we shall also be willing to for give others who sin against us. Since Christmas marks the birthday of our Saviour through whom all sins are forgiven, it is a good time to straighten out the kinks that have tan gled our lives during the past year. Those harsh words which we spoke, which went like a knife to the soul, and for which we perhaps never sought pardon—when will we find a better time to make it right then right no\y as we prepare our hearts for Christ mas? And is there any coldness be twaen us and someone else? Melt it before the glowing fires of Christmas and never let it freeze again. Let there be peace in the heart, peace in the home, peace with everybody every where—yea, “Peace On Earth.” Services will be held at Hope Lu theran on Wednesday evening, De cember' 24, at 8 o’clock.
