■ 1 JkltJiM ' ' j XM I I Christmas, 1944 . . . the world was not a place of joy . . . mankind was engaged in a terrible war . . . but it was Christmas, and in spite of the hatred, killing, the thunder of cannons . . . still the people of good faith gathered all over the world to worship God and to honor the birth of the Christ Child. Here at the Universitj ' of Hawaii, students, visitors, servicemen, teachers — all gathered to sing once more the familiar old carols of the Yuletide . . . Silent Night, The First Noel, yes, even Joy to the World which brought new courage, new hope for the future . . . and, we felt the peace and the blessing of God.
