PAGE EIGHT \ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA . v Toe Blessen Bute wons goven % of Faithh.tro %@W From many surrounding miles, by foot ,and camel . . . by muleand cart . . . came the simple, worshipping people. And astride jeweled trappings came the titled nobility. All followed the Three Wise Men who followed the star that illumined the manger where the infant Jesus lay. All brought Him gifts: each according fo his means. Frankincense and myrrh. Vessels of precious metals and firstborn lambs. Wrappings of fine fabrics and endless words of wisdom. But the greatest of all gifts bestowed upon Him was a birthright given Him by the God who created Him - the gift of a noble mind and a pure heart, which were to make of Him the greatest student, teacher and lover of mankind fo ever walk the earth! For through His observation and instruction He gained a Faith which followed Him to the cross, and which lives on in all who believe in Him, until today as for all time! As we observe the date of His birth this December 25th, 1945, let us remember too that the spirit of His teaching is one of love, tolerance and gentleness. He loved all colors, all nationalities, all creeds of man. He sought not to fill their hearts with fear — but with love. And none can justly claim fo be one of His faithful followers who looks upon his fellows with other than devotion. Sucha victory as we have won —— fo strengthen and perpetuate democracy around the world is sure of His blessing. For He taught that all mankind must unite in brotherly love to achieve PEACE ON EARTH.
