They will not be brutalized; they will not be dehumanized by capitalistic greed as they are today The me r of the future will look upon the gift of God to her as a great responsibility. She will devote her time to bringin® out the nobler qualities of her child hood, not to developing criminals and savages. To motherhood and childhood of the future, jails will be unknown The real Christian spirit as taught by Christ In Palestine many cen turies ago that He may lead all of the people into the dawn of a new life be a rea I wish you all a happy Chrtst-| mas.
