Childrens Day
The message of Christmas is love..
Its emblem Is radiant, thankful, con
tented childhood. Without love and

not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletlde. For Christmas
Is the universal children's day. Men
and women, are superfluous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
