are listeningto our words:  \nWe wish once again,this Christmas of the year1966,to stir your hearts with all simplicity byrecalling the angels'hymn which rang out in theheavens on that blessed night in which the VirginMary gave birth to the Saviour of the world,OurLord Jesus Christ.Who is not familiar with thosewell-known words:“Glory to God in the highestand on earth peace to men of goodwill?\"  \nWe repeat this exultant cry of the angels,pro-posing it to you as the inspiring motif of the thoughtsand sentiments which on this festive occasion comenaturally to the minds and hearts of those who areable to discern what things are really importantand who are aware of the obligations and the great-est needs of mankind.The glory of God and peaceamong men are now and will never cease to be thetwo points of reference which inspire and give direc-tion to our lives.They are the greatest gifts whichthe Christmas season promises and indeed bringsto us.  \nTo turn with ardor of soul to the ineradicablethought of God can never be wearisome for thethoughtful or without profit for believers.For Godis at once a mystery and living reality;He is thelight and source of all order and wisdom;from Himall existence springs and He is the ultimate basisof scientific law and moral precept;He is,of nec-essity,the center of our life;He is ineffable goodness,ever willing to converse with us in the experience  \n# POLICY OF VITAL SPEECHES\n\nThe pubishers of Vital Speeches believe that the important adresses of the recognized leaders of public opinion constitue the best expressions of contem-porary cthought in America,and that it is exremely important for the welfare of the nation that these speches be perma nently recorded and disseminated.Thepublishers have no axe to grind.Vital Speeches will be found authentic and constructive.  \n1234.Thormas F.Daly,Jr.,President and Treasurer,M.P.Daly,Vice-President,K.D.Hoey,Secretary.  \nNo.7  \n# A Christmas Message\n\nGOODWILL:THE KEY TO PEACE  \nof daily life.  \nWe should like to repeat now what we have al-ready said on another occasion:We must be on ourguard against the danger of modern-day idolatry.Today man is tempted to worship himself,to sethimself up not only as the highest object of thoughtand as the goal of history but even of all reality.Heis ready to believe that he can of himself,relyingonly on his own resources,make real progress andbring about his own salvation.In other words,manis tempted to seek only his own glory and not theglory of God.  \nThis fatal and frightening departure from the truenorm of human life is taking place before our eyes;from the realm of theory the denial of God is beingreduced to practice.What used to be the preserve ofa small number of speculative minds is infectingthe thinking of the many.An atheism that was ration-alistic and academic is yielding place to one that ismaterialistic and social.Today a falsely humanisticmentality is becoming more and more widespread-a mentality deeply rooted in egoism because closedto the knowledge.and love of God,and basicallyrestles","cbCaibld5Beipija","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibld5Beipija","pdf",2222853,32,"English","#
