At this time of year the air is electrified with "peace on eai gllUU Will l(IWll men." Our heartt vibrate with a closer walk with all humanity. We criticize less, love more. Giv-f Ing becomes more of a Joy, than receiving.

The Golden Rale becomes more part of our Soul than just memorized lines. It Is significant the first Christmas gift was not "to a Hie," God expressed His love for the world He created by "giving His Son" to give us His way of life and the dawn of a new age was ushered in with the birth of Christ. Hia message gave birth to a new philosophy of life which was, indeed, destined to end an era of chaos. Giving and love go hand in hand. Because of love, Jesus gave Himself for iu.

Hcne, we cannot do less than sivo t. ourselves when we seek to cxpi.Ti c.jr love and gratitude to G.id and to others.

One never really lives until he stops trying to save himself and begins losing himself to something EIGGF.R than he is. It Is a law of spiritual compensation that if "we give to the world the best that we have, the best will come btck to us," and often In greater abundance.

Knowing that the greatest good comes from helping others, giving ryou this fooj for thought Instead of a case history -gives me great joy as I know it Oid to a ilriend of mine, who gave it to me and taught me hew to use it every day in our busy clinic. We cherish for each reader along with our many friends and patients the exhilarating experience of "giving himself away." You have something wonderful to give that someone else needs. Discover for yourself this Chri.it-nns that it is "Jar better to give than to receive." The Hamilton Clinic Staff joins me in saying May this Christian principle give you the true spirit of Christmas. May the joy of giving be reflected in God's rkCiest blessing of health and happiness for you and all your loveJi ones, and tiriy this Golden Rule and ita teachings bring you and yours a Golden New Year of prosperity.
