Lawrence M. Grecnhaw, Pastor

All day on Sunday, the rain fell,
making it wet under-foot and over-
head, as well as all around, and still
the people came to church. The
crowd that worshipped in the morn-
ing with the Holy Bible as the
theme of the worship, and in the
evening to view the colored pictures
of the Nativity scenes of Wise men,
Shepherds, Kings, and children was
in each case a congregation to de-
light the eye and the heart of a
pastor in a much larger church.
Again on next Sunday, we ex-
pect for the fourth time within a
year to pull back the slide doors to
the annex to seat the congregation,
as the Choir brings the Christmas
Music in the form of the Cantata:
“Chimes of the Holy Night” under
the 1947 arrangement. The pro-
gram is printed elsewhere in the
Beacon this week. The Church Bul-
letin for next Sunday carries the
program in two colors of red and
black. In a time of so much of the
secular in music at Christmas time,
it is so much more important for
humanity to enter Christmas week
with the spirit and the thoughts
of these Christian chimes ringing
in the inner recesses of their spirits.
On Wednesday of next week, we
will observe the Annual Festival
of the Ever-green Tree. Children
and their parents and friends will
assemble at the Church in the eve-
ning on December 24, enjoy the
program, see Santa Claus in his
red suit, receive their presents
from the tree and make their offer-
ings to the children of the Home at
Waco, and thus bring the Christ-
mas week to a fitting close im-
mediately preceeding Christmas
Day.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Is the Universe, Including Man,
Evolved by Atomic Force?” is the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon which
will be lead in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, De-
cember 21.
The Golden Text is: “The word
of the Lord is right, and all his
works are done in truth. . . For
he spake, and it was done: he com-
manded, and it stood fast” Psalms
33:4,9).
Among the citations which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “In the
beginning God created the heaven
and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “God

BRIGHT SYITIBOLS OF
H VERY
M*r/
Christmas
Since ancient times, the flame of the
Christmas candle has been a traditional
symbol of good cheer.
Today another flame symbolizes the good
things of the Christmas Season. It is the
blue gas flame . , . the never - failing
wonder flame that keeps the home warm
and comfortable, cooks the Christmas
turkey to its golden-brown best, and
protects by refrigeration both the
ingredients and left-overs of the
»
bounteous Yuletide meals.
Tha Houston Natural Gas Corpo-
ration and its employees through-
out the Texas Gulf Coast area
wish you and yours a Very Merry
Christmas.

The Bible Teeaches
CLYDE L. ROGERS
Minister
Church of Christ
Christ’s Church is distinctive in
that it has a religion to offer the
world which had its beginning not
with the Lutheran Reformation, nor
with the Restoration, but in the
days of the apostles. It was es-
tablished on the day of Pentecost
and exists today, as the most con-
servative religious body, yet the
most revolutionary. It is conserva-
tive in that its doctrine, practice,
and worship has not been corrupt-
ed by the innovations of man. It is
revolutionary in that it rejects all
established precedences and tradi-
tions adhering to no creed save the
word of God.
We are not preaching a Protes-
tant religion which had its begin-
ning with Luther, but a distinctly
Holy, Apostolic, and catholic uni-
versal) way of life. We are catholic
(universal) Christians, members of
che catholic (universal) body of
Christ. But distinctly haVe no
affiliation with the Roman Catholic
Church which has elevated tradition
and the pope above the word of
God, making itself an apostate
church of our Lord. When Christ
gave the world-wide commission to
the apostles, that made the church
catholic or universal. Our very pur-
pose for proclaiming Him to the
world and preaching His doctrine,
is to reaffirm the catholicity of the
church of Christ by carrying it to
every nation among men.
The program of work to be done
in propagating the kingdom of
Christ is designed to touch the lives
of every person from the wealthy
owners of vast estates to the inhab-
itants of the lowly shacks. Our ap-
peal is to nations exclusive of
class, social rank, or prestige. Our
plea is not of division but of unity;
not of communism but of Chris-
tianity; not of Protestantism but of
a world-wide brotherhood of men
in a common community serving
one Lord under one rule of faith
which is the Holy Bible. adv.
