The people of these United States hbve ob-served
1^7 Chflstmases since the Declaration of

175 years of pioneering, during which, amid all

celebrated the merry holiday*
This wartime Christmas finds us with much to
be solemn 'about — much to fight for, and much
to pray for.
But there have been Chrlstmases before, when
things seemed even darker for us.

because of the lack of workers,
the house-to-house canvass was
not as thorough as it might have
been and netted only $4,000. He
added this was no reflection on

who did everything possible with
