Year III No. 47 PANAMA, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24th, 1947 5c. a Copy PEACE ON EARTH Merry Christmas Ring and the Phristmas Happy New Year The world once more observes the most significant day in Christendom the Birth of Him who throughout his ministry on earth sought to save mankind from selfishness misunderstanding, hatred and greed, and employed all his efforts and his powers of persuation so that man might be unselfish, understanding, loving and generous toward his fellowman. His whole life was marked by his concern for others, and his talks, lectures and sermons laid the foundation whereby peoples of all tongues and nations could wok in harmony and peace one with the other.
So full of hope were the words he uttered wherever his mission led him, that multitudes, drawn to Him by His philosophy of life, followed Him in ever growing numbers wherever he went. Leaders publicly sought His words of wisdom, and those who were fearful of criticism sought Mim cut under the cover of darkness. The world all down the ages would have been a better place in which to live had man but followed His words of guidance, but the inherent selfishness all too common in man has been the cause of an ever worsening condition far from conduCive of man god.
All is not lost, however, and it is never too late to amend. Our hearts, too, could experience that joy of compression which others who heeded His words felt if we could enshrine in our hearts the peace of mind which he sought to bring to us nearly two thousand years ago, when voices sang heralding his birth: peace on earth, god will towards man The troubled shepherds heard, fear not, for bring you good cidings of a Saviour birth to you and to all the rations upon earth tidings of great with a Gift for that Boy or Girl 30, 800 Handicaped Got Jobs In October Washington, Secretary of Labor Lewis Schwellenbach reported that 30, 800 phiysically handieapped workers got jobs through the United States Employment Service during October, a peacetime record.
Robert Goodwin, director of the service, said that three fifths of the placements were handicapped war veterans. He said that for the first time the total number of unemployed disabled veterans registered at public employment offices fell below 100, 000. October placements cut the disabled veteran registration to 92, 000.
The fear which grips this troubled world today could easily dispened with by tthe peoples and nations of is earth by following the simple rule which he laid down govern our conduct: Love ye one another. Thus would be ushered in an era of peace on earth, goodwill towards all men, and when we observe the Day of his Nativity and resel in the joy of his coming, we will endeavour in our humble way to do what we can effectively towards making this world a better place in which to live.
The apearance of our English section at this time of the year is, we hope, significant, as ushering in what we trust will be an era of better times in the affairs of the world. We wil endeavour to contribute what we can to the bringing about this gladsome event, already so long delayed.
We wish you one and all JOYFUL CHRISMAS and NEW YEAR of health and prosperity.
