WITH HOPE- FROM SANTA _■> «s& S3 iW-:^s ■'•yr VOL. 29 NO. 12 THE SUN, NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 19S3 7c PER OQj£g Christmas Memories "And there wtere shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night." Each of us has his or her own Christmas memories. Memories that often because of things that were and are no more, keep us from a full recognizance of the Day of Days. Perhaps your memory is of songs and laughter and a full gathering of family around a festive board. Perhaps it is a fir tree gay with candles. Perhaps it is the crustiness of snow and the sheen of stars against a deep blue sky as you walked home from midnight service. Mine is the verse with which I began, and with which my mother always opened the holiday. If-1 shut my eyes I can still smpll the piney fragrance of the Christmas tree and see the whiteness of the frost on the window panes, and feel the sureness of her hand holding mine. "And there were shepherds abiding in the fields keeping watch over their flocks by night. And the angel of the Lord came upon them. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy." The years have passed. Sorrows may have come upon us. There may be longing in our hearts. But Christmas remains and if we will but let it in, it can bring into our hearts fragrance and joy. Christmas is a day not to be celebrated, but to be kept. It is not dependent upon money, but upon love. It is a day not for one, but for Bill. It is the day of proof that love is the strongest thing in the world — stronger than hate, stronger than evil, and stronger than death. None of us is too poor or too lonely to keep Christmas. We can share that which we have with those who have less. 'mere is no price tag on well-wishing or on friendly speaking or kindly doing. The gates of our hearts can swing wide at a, touch. We can each of us bring cheer to some lonely child or a,word of friendship to the lonely and forgotten men •"; ^Eor. nb one can keep Christmas alone. As Henry Van 'DyR'fe wrote in his great Christmas prayer: '■'..''' .".' "Tte'ach" ifte that I am not alone, •;,'.' But that many hearts all round the world, Join with me through the silence, While I pray in his name." Amen.
