Bell 2152 65-31* CHANCELLOR'S CHRISTMAS GREETING The Christmas season is the finest season of the year. At no other time do the inequalities in life fade out and the asperities of life soften so completely as then. The good in people comes to the front, and the spirit of good will is dominant. The importance of such a holiday to the moral life of a people cannot be overestimated. Around it gather many of the most precious memories that we have and the world is always better for having observed in a true and consecrated manner the season that we call Christmas.
