STAR or WEST SERMON
BY REV. GUHSE SUNDAY

PaIisade heard new thought SER
mon last Sunday, Rev. Guhse in the
Pulpit. He said in part:
1--WE have seen his star in the east"
This simple statement of 1913 years
ago was made by the heraids of Christ
mas They were men of insight, 1udg-
ment and moral earnestness--
from the dreamy east. All the big re-
aigions have come out OF the Eastianu.
There is Buddhism. In its temples
Tar and wide, in Colombo or Singa-
more. in Lhasa and Tokyo, the uniform
habit is to point back to that sacreu
seat under the Bo-tree where Gantama
sat for six years, silent, receptive
prayerful, until the illumination came.
Tbe cradle of Buddhism was IN the
far east.
There are the Moslems, powerful
aggressive, fanatical in their allegiance
to Islam! Whether you find them un-
der the Southern Cross or on the nign
.ab,elands in Thibet or along the bos-
nhorus, they are faced toward Araoia'
where Mohamnled made his Hight from
mecca 70 Sleu", syrnoro l. M

dsome time come. Anu here in Judea
was the humble place of his coming,
the camping place Of this strange man,
at once servant as well as master of
human hearts.
Wonderful Amazing, this event of
long ago! Its remembrance and medi-
tation marks the most glorious day of
all the year. 1t browns flor season
at least) the woe, sorrow and ADVERSE
ty of the world and binds together in
common devotion, love and joyous
good cheer more human lives than any
day or event or tidings of history. We
love the light of its glowing firesides,
the music of its happy bells and the
radiance of its little child faces. 1t
is the time of sweet and tender remem-
brances and happy reunions. In such
a spirit do we think of him, whose star
shown in the Oriental sky and upon
whose advent the antiphonies of .heav-
en- re-echoed:
GLORY to God in the highest.
And upon earth peace among men.
In whom he is well pleased.
