An evening devotional with Jonathan Malone and Charley Eastman. This week’s conversation - Christianity and secular holidays.

Here is the “prayer” that Charley read:

“Peace has dawned at last, and a war-mad world has furled the blood-red banners that streamed along far-flung lines and lost themselves in the cannon’s smoke. It came with a suddenness that made the most optimistic gasp with the surprise of it. Even now one cannot realize that over yonder men are not dying and pouring out to war a crimson tide. A few short days ago we were reading of the turmoil of war, while today we are planning for the glories and the serenity of peace.”
