Matt. 14:25 “And in the fourth
watch of night Jesus went unto
them, walking on the sea”
Matt. 14:29-31 “And he said.

As you light the Yule tapers at
this season of good cheer, may
they signify joy and gladness to
New Year!—Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Burgin.
The miracles which are recorded
in many passages of the Bible had
a profound effect upon those
whose lives were touched by them
because they were done with a
calm authority and confidence
that spoke eloquently of their di-
vine origin. They were a challenge
to the followers of Jesus during

Jesus did not write His teach-
ings on golden tablets to be en-
shrined in great temples which
time would destroy. He wrote
them deep within the hearts and
minds of living men and women
where His message could not be
stamped into oblivion by any sort
of ruthless oppression nor worn
away by the impartial attrition of
time. This is the strength of •
Christianity—that it needs no
