bring to us ? X,

We roust thirty deeply.arid soundly
for the generation of tomorrow is fast
growing up Willi a. feeling of frustation
and despair. We take no sides and w e
blame no one, for the game' of politics
has brought the whole world to this
impasse, and with the atomic age coming
in into its own we do not know where
this little planet of ours will go. There
is not a single corner of tliis earth that
to-day can boast of peace and plenty.
Political gamblers have played havoc
with human society. Seek and thou
shalt find is ,the message of optimism
given by the Bible. Oft as we knock
at the door that is dosed, instead of
the prcmife " It shall be opened unto
thee " being fulfilled it only hurts our
knuckles.

. But a nation in the making has
to bear travails. We can not expect
the shape of things to change overnight.
No doubt the horizon is still gloomy,
but through this film of gloom we still
must ifioIcKfjist to the ray of hope and
guide nhe coming generation to under-
stand the, gospel of PEACE, LOVE
and TRUTH. The teaching of the
Mahatma is there as the beacon light
Let us drink deep his gospel ; let us
learn before it is too -late and let us

carry it to every corner of this vast
universe to dispel the horrors that seeni
to be rising against the horizon. ' .
AND

While we dress lip to combat the
horrors and as the first golden rays, of
the First January Sim greet . iis with the
celestial message of HOPE and LOVE
in the colourful rainbow reflections on
the silvery Himalayas, we take the
opportunity to convey our regards to vou
and wish ycu a very HAPPY, GLORIOUS
and bUNNY -"K'EW YEAH. May the
Light of The Lord illumine your path
to bliss and glory.
