Frosty the Snowmen was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale, they Say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came fo life one day. There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around. . - _ Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he: could be. a - And the children say he could laugh and. py | dust thé séme as you and me, We rejoice in the sound of the words and the glory . of the message! “— on earth peace, goodwill to men.” : But we do not always fee] the meaning in our hearts and put it to work in our lives. - . One who did was Henry Van Dyke, the late Ameri- ’ can ciergyman, writer, and poet whose famous “Story of the Other Wise Man” Has brought joy and inspira- tion to thousands of people over the pears. Among his writings is a piece called The Spirit of Christmas,” and we think you'll like it as much’ as we did, We are happy to print it, from us to you: cot “We are thinking of you today because it is hristmas ,...and tomorrow because if will be the day after, and so on through the year. We may not be able to tell you about it every day, - but that makes no diference, the thought and the wish will be here just the same...” “Because it is Christmas’ —so many things follow. - “Because it is Christmas” — the world stands still for a while, in reverent memory of the Christ child’s birth, - “Because it is Christmas" —we hope anew for peace on earth, goodwill to men. “Because it is Christmas” — we resolve that-the Spirit of Chilstmas will stay with us throughout the year, Of course, the Spirit of Christrnhas should not be confined to a single day — nor js it, For all those who truly believe in “good will to men” honor it in their hearts and live {t in their lives, every day of the year. They cherish the continuing warmth of friendship, the ever-new rebirth of the Babe who lived to teac us peace and love. And: though friends may be far away or seldom met, that too ‘makes no difference" — the steady flow of hope and good will continues to. bind together those who put their trust in the power of loving kindness, and in all that we mean by humanity.
