JOY OVER BIRTH OF RULER
Rev. w. e. Todd Tells Again story of
birth Of the savior.

"Joy to the world, the Lord has come"
unto us q child is born, unto us a son
is given" This beautiful passage from
Isaiah was the text OF the Christmas
sermon preached by Rev. william T.. Tod1
at the Third Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. A beautiful lervice of song and
prayer was rendered Sunday morning and
the special musical program prepared by
the musical director. f.. II. Packard, was
we'll rendered by the choir.
THE birth OF the future ruler OF the
world was not kept as a clannish affair.
but was heralded broadcast throughout the
world. The three wise men from the east
were led to the place of the Saviors birth
that they might carry the glad tidings to
Egypt, India and Persia. The news was
even known to the people living on the
continent before the coming Of Columbus
and when the Spanish ships landed on the
shores OF America the natives thought the
white men were saviors OF the world come
to visit them. He came, not only TO rule
the kingdom OF the Jews, but to rule the
world.
When all the nations OF the world come
to realize this fact we will then all be
brothers in fact. II is being worked out
more and more each year and some day
the peace OF the nations will be realized
in pursuance to His wishes and there will
no longer be need OF large standing armies.
The text is in Hebrew literature, but Christ
was a gift to the whole human race and
one of Gods good gifts to the world.
"Christ is a personality, sweet beyond all
accounts, loving, tender, scattering q feel
ing hat we all are His tender ones. His
lesson to us is to love and care for the
young, with our hearts and tears and with
a feeling of solicitude and tenderness to
protect the defenseless, to pardon the pent-
tent and TO heal the wounded Spirits

LIKE ENTERING A NEW COUNTRY
Rev. John p. Clyde Says New Year
should BE Entered Right.

The advent OF a new year and the best
way to take advantage OF it's blessings
and Withstand its sorrows and make the
best OF the ills which are in store for all
men from time to time was taken as the
subject OF the Sunday morning sermon
OF Rev. John p. Clyde. the new pastor OF
the Plymouth Congregational church.
There Is a seriousness about entering
into a new year." said the minister. but
we should enter with a spirit OF inquest
and ultimate victory over It's trials. ever
looking TO the source OF all strength and
wisdom for that guidance which will en-
able US to appropriate all the privileges,
Joys and triumphs, ana Withstand all the
evils and defeats"
Taking for his text the words of Moses
as found In Exodus S3:15. "And he said
unto the Lord. IL Thy presence go not
viii me, carry me not up hence" Mr..
Clyde said that thus and thus only has
man any guarantee that there Is anything
OF good in the future, for without Christ
and the Christ love there is naught In
life for any man. I'm the words OF Moses.
We should return 10 God. for we need His
presence and strength and guidance to
make each day Of the new year a day OF
gIadness." said the minister.
