Today is a press holiday.

At our last discussion meeting
celebrating our victories this year,
let’s congratulate one another on
the earnest struggles we waged and
thank the families who offer their
homes for meetings!
Let’s make a fresh start toward the
new year together with our bright
younger women’s division members!(*)

(*)In Japan, there is a new focus on fostering the younger women’s division members (Under 50).

Let’s become people who are
admired and well liked, of whom
others say, “My spirits are lifted
when I meet them” and “When
I talk to them I am inspired with
courage.”
Let’s shine as warmhearted and
sincere champions of noble
character!

The end of the year is a hectic time.
It is precisely because we are so busy
that we should use our time
effectively.
Let’s spend each day creating value
with prudence and ingenuity!

Take utmost precaution to prevent fires!
Strictly guard against leaving around
flammable material or piggy-backing
and overloading electrical outlets.
Let’s absolutely keep from relaxing our
guard as we place the finishing
touches to this year!
