Christmas message to members

"This year's Christmas season
finds many of you in far-off
places, away from your homes
arid the close family ties which
are always associated with the
holiday spirit. As representative
of our great nation, dedicated to
the cause of true peace, may you
find reassurance or rejoicing in
the knowledge that your unsel
fish efforts stand as a pillar of
; strength and inspiration to all
freedom loving peoples of the
world. I pray that the God of our
Father will watch over you and
your families and that the new
year will bring us all nearer to a
fuller realization of a lasting and
honorable peace. ’
