Luke would make
great reporter
for modern times
While Luke, the physician, was
a close observer of the physical
reactions of the miracles of the
Savior Jesus the Christ, he was
also a good reporter and one who
got the facts. He wrote two
books of the New Testament, the
gospel bearing his name and the
Book of Acts of the Apostles. Of
his work as a writer and physi-
cian the following brief story is
given:
As a doctor, he would dwell
extensively on cases of healinft
by Jesus, more so than others,
citing technically correct terms
for parts of the anatomy and va-
rious ailments. Evidence abounds

6f his Infinite pains to be MtUf-
ate.
For almost two years now, Luke
had pursued an entrancing objec-
tive—the innermost truths about
the coming of the Lord Jesus, the
epic of an eternal king, the life
itnd deeds of Him who said:
"You shall know the truth, and
the truth will make you free."
Only Luke, this genial, lofty-
mhided Greek physician reared
in a hard-hearted heathen envi-
ronment and who never saw Jesus
in person, had possessed the in-
quisitive ardor to seek out the
classic chapters of the Christ
Child.
Though Jesus had been gone
some HO years, Luke had roamed
the area, questioning, examining,
retrieving a portrait of one who
brought the bracing reality of God
to an age of malignant myths.
But his special achievement

The greens which ere used for
Christmas decorations found their
way Into early festivities because
of certain virtues attributed to them
by the ancients, and many ot them
which adorned pagan seasonal rites
were later taken over to grace the
ceremonies and celebrations of
Christmas Day.
In both England and America,
the holly and the mistletoe are as-
sociated with Christmas as invari-
ably as are the plum pudding and
Christmas tree.
It was the Druids who first used
the mistletoe. "Heal-all" was their
name for it. The plant was supposed
to have curative values, and grad-
ually they assigned to it all man-
ner of magic powers.
Their priests, each year around i
the time when we now celebrate
Christmas, would have high plat-
forms built around the sacred oak
trees which, in a manner of speak-
Ing, were "hosts" to the mistle-
toe. Robed in ceremonial vestments
of white, they ascended these plat-
forms, and with golden sickles espe-
cially made for the solemn occasion
they cut away the mistletoe.
The Saxons also prized it and it
was they who gave to it the name
of mistletoe.
Eventually the green came to be
regarded as a symbol of peace.
Opposing warriors who met near
it would call a truce, and it was
customary to hang it over the en-
trance doors so that they who en-
tered might be assured of friend-
ship.
long itnd 18 feet wide, with ft level
floor, n little lower on the south
side. On the right was a hollow
cut into the rock to serve as a
manger.
There, in that manger, by the
thin, feeble thread of an infant's
heartbeat had hung the salvation
of the world.
Disgruntled hunters

regulation business
AUSTIN—"Those who criticize
the annual hunting regulations
will do well to ponder the back-
ground. Even today, disgruntled
.sportsmen occasionally express
the opinion that the federal regu-
lations are unnecessary and un-
warranted, and that the control of
hunting for migratory water fowl
should be returned to the states.
would remain—his mirroring for
all generations of that unparal-
leled, transcendent night in Beth-
lehem—when a child was born.
"And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them; and they were sore afraid.
"And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; for behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people. For unto
you is born this day in the city ol'
David a Savior which is Christ
the Lord.
"And this shall be a sign unto
you: Ye shall find the babe wrap-
ped in swaddling cloths, lying in
a manger. And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising God,
and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will to-
ward men."
It was against all expectations
that the Messiah would be born in
a dreary stable. Legend, which
always heaps luster on its heroes,
had said the birth would be in
the "royal castle of Bethlehem,"
and first be revealed to a Tem-
ple functionary, Migdal Eder.
But Luke, in his loyalty to the
unadorned truth would candidly
record the plain, humble fa;ts:
Mary "gave birth to her first-
born son and wrapped him in
swaddling cloths, and laid him in
a manger, because there was no
place for them in the inn."
The herdsmen led Luke to the
entrance to the rock-walled stable
on a slope just east "of the city.

The pages of history speak to the
contrary." These are the words
of Albert M. Day, U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, taken from his
book, North American Waterfowl.
The book has been reviewed for
the December issue of Texas
Game and Fish magazine, accord-
ing to the director of information
and education, Texas Game and
Fish commission.
"Hunting regulations must be
made on the basis of the current
situation on the breeding grounds.
It Is obviously impossible for any-
one to sit down in mid-winter and
determine bff-hand what the
waterfowl hunting should be for
the following season," writes Day.
He then tells of the systems
and methods used for determining
the seasonal limits each year. He
also lists some returns gained
through well-organized, extensive
bunding onerations.
"Unforgiving Nature constantly
reminds us that as we sow, so
shull we reap. Dust storms, erod-
ed and abandoned farm lands,
overgrazed and ruined ranges,
floods, lowered water tables,
droughts, and dried up and pol-
luted streams provide unmistak-
able warnings," says the author.
"They should convince us that
conservation must not be regard-
ed as a sentimental hobby or
harmless pastime of impractical
nature lovers, daydreamers, duck
hunters, fishermen, and scientists,
but as urgent business of individ-
uals, society, and of government.
