Nineteen hundred and forty-eight Christmas nights I. have come and gone, and still. there is so little peace, so little peace between notions and within 'notions because there is as yet so little understanding between men, and so little understanding of God. May the Christ Child brin~g you this Christmas above all else, the priceless gift of understanding, for with this giff will come peace. This wish will be my prayer for you and for the world during the Christmas season. CELESTIN J. STEINER, S. J.
