CHRISTMAS '7.5
"He was born in a dusky stable, the son of the wife
of a migrant carpenter in a conquered, exploited land,
and he lived as a man of the poor, always facing of-
ficial hostility. But his impact suffused the world,
fij’fcd its ideals, lit its hope. And the present era dawn-
The promise and expectations kindled by the birth
of the infant Jesus have burned in the hearts of
Christian men and women everywhere for nearly 2,000
years. As revolutionary changes in every field of hu-
man endeavor rocked civilization, Christianity also
grew, molding its tenets and rituals to the times.
Christmas, too, became a rich blend of quaint customs
over the years — mistletoe, candy canes, brightly-
decorated trees, feasts of turkey and mincemeat pie
and, of course, Santa Claus But through it all, Christ’s
message of love, brotherhood and everlasting life con-
tinued to inspire mankind.
This year, let us make a vow that we will allow
the Christmas spirit to take root in each of us and grow
there year-round. For if every individual would make
a conscious effort, maybe “peace on earth and goodwill
toward men” would become more than just a dream

Once again America

favorite whipping boy:
Watergate and the crisis
of confidence: the energy

cession; the Middle East
War and cracks in the At-
lantic alliance, and so on
and on.
Some time ago, a per-
ceptive Canadian com-
mentator - Gordon Sin-
clair - took time out to de-
liver a thoughtful essay
on what’s good about
America and Americans.
Coming from a foreigner,
it makes for interesting,
and heartening, listening.
Here is what Mr. Sinclair
had to say:
VIRGO B s highly probable that this cosmic cycle will
Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 Wl|l be a replay of last year's events. The point?
Don’t duplicate mistakes of the past

SAGITTARIUS Although other events and situations might
Nov. 22 Dec. 21 seem mor* important . . . someone's marriage,

ties. One thing more, you're inclined to be too
blunt!
CAPRICORN

Stay close to your home base Apparently, your
job, task or mission will conflict with your do-
mestic affairs. Try to plan or schedule your

PISCES Lo°k for subtle overtures to come from a

you choose, romantic gestures are on the wing
AQUARIUS
“Germany, Japan and,
to a lesser extent, Britian
and Italy, were lifted out
of the debris of war by
the Americans who poured
in billions of dollars and
forgave other billions in
debts. None of these
countries is today paying
even the interest on its
remaining debts to the
United States.
When the franc was in
danger of collapsing in
1956, it was the Americans
who propped it up, and
their reward was to be in-
sulted and swindled on the
streets of Paris.
“I was there. I saw it.
When distant cities are
hit by earthquakes, it is
the United States that
hurries in to help This
spring, 59 American com-
munities (were) flattened
by tornadoes. Nobody
helped.
"The Marshall Plan and
the Truman Policy pump-
ed billions upon billions of
dollars into discouraged
countries. Now news-
papers in those countries
are writing about the de-
cadent, warmongering
Americans.
“I’d like to see just one
of those countries that is
gloating over the erosion
of the United States dollar
build its own airplanes.
“Come on, let’s hear it!
“Does any other country
in the world have a plane
to equal the Boeing Jum-
bo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-
star or the Douglas 10?
“If so, why don’t they
fly them? Why do all the
international lines except
Russia fly American
planes?
“Why does no other land
on earth even consider
putting a man or woman
on the moon?
“You talk about Japan-
ese technocracy, and you
get radios. You talk about
German technocracy, and
you get automobiles.
You talk about Ameri-
can technocracy, and you
find men on the moon -
not once but several times
- and safely home again.
“You talk about scan-
dals, and the Americans
put theirs right in the
window for everybody to
look at.
“Even their draft-dod-
gers are not pursued and
hounded. They are here on
our streets, and most of
them - unless they are
breaking Canadian laws-
are getting American doll-
ars from Ma and Pa at
home to spend here
“When the railways oi
France, Germany and In-
dia were breaking down
through age, it was the
Americans who rebuilt
them. When the Penn-
sylvania Railroad and the
New York Central went
broke, nobody loaned
them an old caboose. Both
are still broke.
“I can name you 5,000
times when the Americans
raced to the help of other
people in trouble. Can you
name me even one time
when someone else raced
to the Americans in
trouble?
“I don’t think there was
outside help even during
the San Francisco earth-
quake.
“They will come out of
this thing with their flag
high. And when they do,
they are entitled to thumb
their noses at the lands
that are gloating over
their present troubles.
“I hope Canada is not
one of these.”
From Canadian com-
mentator Gordon Sinclair,
some thoughts on Ameri-
ca - as some darkly see
it - and, as it truly is.

SEEDS FROM
THE SOWER
By Michael A Guido Metier, Georgia
Courthouse Squarfl
There was a European
monarch who worried his
court by walking incognito
among his people. When he
was asked not to do this for
his own safety, he answered,
I can not rule my people
unless I know how they live.”
We have a God who knows
the life we live because Me
lived it too. On the first
Christmas morning God be-
came man. He lived a real
flesh and blood life, no dif-
ferent from our own.
Jesus went through every-
thing we must go through.
By personal experience He
knows the sufferings, sorrows
and struggles of life. And He
came through that ordeal un-
stained by any blemish or
blunder.
The best person to guide
you on a journey is one who
has traveled the road before
you. The best person to help
you through a trial is one who
has come through it trium-
phantly. Jesus can help you
because He knows it all. He
went through our experiences.
I his is the true meaning
of ( hnstmas. Because Jesus
knows our life He can give us
sympathy, mercy and power.
He brought God to us. Now
we can go to God through
Him and find grace to help in
our times of need.

From The Living Bible
SHEPHERDS RECEIVE GOOD NEWS
■* -
A l
f i
That night some shepherds were in the fields
outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep,
suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the
landscape shone bright with the glorv of the Lord
They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured
them.
-12
Don t be afraid’’ he said. ‘I bring you the most
joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone'
The Savior yes. the Messiah, the Lord has been
born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize
mm Vou will tind a baby wrapped in a blanket
lying in a manger!’
Suddenly, the angel was joined hy a vast host of
others-the armies of heaven praising God
Glory to God in the highest heaven,’ they sang
‘and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.
When this great army of angels had returned
again to heaven, the shepherds said to each other.
‘Come on! Let’s go to Bethlehem! let's see this
wonderful thing that has happened, which the Lord
has told us about.'
They ran to the village anil found their way to
Mary and Joseph. And there w.is the baby, lying in
the manger.” (Luke 2:K-I(>)
CHRIST IS BORN IN A MANGER
l.l’KE 2:1-7
L rom
THE LIVING BIBLE
his
come to
About this time Caesar Augustus, the Roman Em-
peror. decreed that a census should be taken through-
out the nation. (This census was taken when Quirin-
ius was governor of Syria.)
Everyone was required to return to his ancestral
home for this registration. And because Joseph was
a member of the royal line, he had to go to Bethle-
hem in Judea, King David’s ancient home—journey-
ing there from the Galilean village of Nazareth. He
took Mary, his fiancee, who was obviously pregnant
by this time.
And while they were there, the time came for her
baby to lie born; and she gave birth to her first child,
a son. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in
a manger, because there was no room for them in
the village inn.
