"He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New. Under the direction of His Father, He was the creator of the earth. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it. His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He entreated all to follow His example. He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead. He taught the truths of eternity, the reality of our premortal existence, the purpose of our life on earth, and the potential for the sons and daughters of God in the life to come...."

These Christmas cards were worth saving!
My Dad was quite a poet. He also did the printing of all his cards. He had learned the printing trade in high school and planned to make a living in that field. But when the GI Bill made it possible for him to go to college he only printing at a friends shop during the Christmas season.
The five golden rings looks vary dadaist.
