A Letter From
South Knoxville,

Mr. Editor
A few lines from this place
might be of interest to your readers,
Christmas is almost here. Every
where we zee the signs of its coming
everyone is thinking of Christmas,
but we should not forge t that the
chief thought of Christmas is Christ
Read again thoughtfully these
wonderful verses concerning the
Incarnation, Who was it that
came into the world? What was
the purpose of His coming? And
let us make Christ and the purpose
OF His coming the great thought of
this Christmas season What a
wonderful event the birth of Jesus
must have been. Think of IT'S far
reaching influence. It stirred
heaven, for the angels of God came
down to announce His birth and to
sing the praise of God no gave
Him to the world While the com
irg of Christ stirred heaven itself
yet it concerned the humhIest in.
habitants, 1t was the lonely shep.
herds who heard the angel chorus
and who first Welcomed the Savior
and worshiped at His feet Even
t7e wise men in the far awav east
saw the star Of Christ and journeyed
all the way to bow before him and
present their gifts. They found
their King No one is too far awav
to share the blessing of Christ's
coming if he will seek Jesus
with a sincere heart. But what star
will today point the heather to
Jesus, save the gospel message of a
crucified and a risen Christ
1t takes love to make a Christmas
SO it was love that made the first
Christmas. Gods love. Let us
ook around us during this Christ
nas-tide and try to give a word of
'ood cheer to all we meet. And
