HOPE IN FUTURE OF WORLD
Salvation Army Commissioner “We Christians have every right to sing our Christmas carols this year with a new lilt of hope in the singing. We have a duty to believe that this world’s tangled affairs are still within the grasp of God," says the Commissioner of the Salvation Army in New Zealand (Commissioner A. J. Gilliard) in a Christmas message. “Sincere efforts among the great churches to approach each other and begin the removal of the offence of hatred and bigotry; unending, gigantic efforts among the statesmen to find a point upon which the balance of power can settle, so that world peace can be established; longing beyond words in millions of hearts for respite from the fears which haunt our days—these are background for our 1962 Christmas. “Can we not sing triumphantly the affirmations of faith with which Christmas provides us, and rejoice in our expectation of deliverance?” People must break through the fogs of fear and see the promise written on contemporary skies. Commissioner Gilliard says.
