Mrs. Smith is the former Peggy Horn, Grass Valley. Q Our hearts go home at Christmas time—that is if we ‘are old enough to have left the old home behind and to ~ . have known and realized the conflicting confusions of the . present. I recall the days before World War One and find many gracious memories of days when the world which was mine knew nothing of fear and uncertainty. Home was a haven of peace, life was beautiful and the world a fair and wonderful place in which to spend one’s years. If democracy had met a deadly challenge, . did not know it; there were no atomic bombs, no deadly missiles 'screaming through the air at unbelievable rates of speed, ‘no one feared the skies above, the ocean held no mneace. . ] wonder if life will ever be like that again. If we are to believe all that we see and hear, fear is . rampant in the world of today, and that fear is fed daily iby startling revelations, by boasts of unimagined power in the hands of relentless foes, by descriptions of appalling accidents and death threats from seemingly inéurable diseases. Little children who have not the philosophic ‘standpoint upon which to rest are made afraid and that ‘fact is tragic. . But Christmas comes with its yuletide joys, and for a . time we may turn from the surging, striving, quarrelsome world about us and breathe the air of peace and good will that comes to many of us from the shores of our yesteryears, from the homes we once knew and from the dear ones whose memories linger there. This is indeed the season of peace and good will and we may in great measure shut out the world which at other times “is too much with us,” gather about our own hearth stones, with our loved ones and let the Christmas spirit have its way with us from dawn to dawn. I wish our emotions of fear, doubt, suspicion and unbelief were not so well fed; . wish we were not so constantly reminded by our newspapers and radios of all that is wrong with the world. It can’t be all bad, you know. Why not pay more attention to that which is right with the world in which we live and refrain at least for a time from purveying so much information concerning people and events which in some cases are almost unthinkable > Dreams come true—they always have and they always will; dreams of peace and good will have shone in upon the hearts and minds of men ever since the world was invented and somewhere, somehow there will be found .fulfillment. Fires die down when they are not fed, hatred fades. when the light of understanding reveals its true nature; how much can we, just you and . contribute to the peace and understanding of this troubled world? To what extent ‘is it within our power to quench the flames of ill will and bring about a time when the Christ/mas spirit will remain throughout the glad New Year, and go with us into a fair and desirable future? . Let us welcome the Christmas spirit with true enthusiasm; let us celebrate the yuletide season with the spirit and the understanding. Peace upon earth, Good Will to men! The song rings out across the years; * Putting our anxious doubts to flight, Calming and comforting our fears. May the Spirit of Christmas perform its blessed mission in every heart and may it remain to perform its heavenly missions through all the New Year that is to be. ADELINE MERRIAM CONNER.
