The Christmas Message


here in person, let the heart for get its grief by recalling mans true status and nature as a child of God, spiritual, perfect, eternal. Christmas brings a wonderful mes sage. And as we are told Gbid., D. 25S), "The memory of the Beth lehem babe bears to mortals gifts greater than those of Magian kings,-bopes that cannot deceive. that waken prophecy, gleams of glory, coronals of meekness, dia- dems of love-"
 Man Image of God
 Human problems of illness, men tai or physical burdens, disappear as the Christmas message of Gods glory is declared, lived, loved. Is Is possible for one to be tormented long by fear after one recognizes that "the Kingdom, and the pow CT. and the glory" belong to God? Can Encouragement, grief, or hat red really belong to anyone? Mans true selfhood is spiritual, for he is the image and likeness of God. Thus, the glory of God is mans also by reflection. To recognize and accept the fact that man is Godlike always brings the true Christmas sense. As our concept of man grows more spiritual, more and more peace and good will toward mankind comes into our experience. If outward details of the Christmas season have chang ed, the glorious truth it's message contains remains the same. The truth which Jesus the Christ taught about mans perfect unity with God and Gods love for man is the guiding star for countless people on earth, still leading mor- tals to behold a newly-born con- cept of man.
 The wonderful fact of Gods great love for man, the eternal truth of mans being Godlike, inn mortal, the precious gift of eternal life and infinite good-all this bet ter appreciated and made practi- cal through Mrs Eddy's gift to mankind, Christian Science keeps the Christmas message of "Glory to God in the highest" ringing along until eventually the Christmas season of brotherly love, good will toward men, and peace on earth shall be definitey estab- lished for all.

Important Changes
 Mark Nurses Year
Visits May Be Fewer - Dollar Membership Drive
 Staged-TO Change Headquarters to Central Ave

Visits for the current year are still slightly less in number than those of 1888. according to reports of the first Il months announced today by Miss Flyorence Whipple, nursing director of the Visiting Nurse association. Complete re- ports are not yet available and all totals cover only a period of II months.
 There were 10,R5s visits made to acutely i'll patients during 1894 as compared with 11,5s4 during the previous year; 516 to chemically i'll patients as compared with 424; prenatal visits for this year total 4,284 compared with 4,144; post partum 1869, compared with 1,S16 in 1883; newborn, 1,244 and 1,25S; well baby, 6,607 and 6,S86; pre- school 54 and 59; adult welfare. 3,185 and 2,932; social service POS and 311; not at home. 1,72s
 Totals were 29,sOs as compared with 30,269 during the previous year.
 Membership Quota
 Several important changes af- fecting the association were made during the year. In June the first dollar membership drive in the history of the organization was tn- stituted. A quota of $5,000 was set and $3,197.91 was realized. Finances were further augmented by a social event given by the nurses last February on which, $69.35 was made. This sum was devoted to the well-baby fund.

not need to be urged to use the new one and discard the old one. And there is a sense, therefore, in which, as we discover better way of society and men become convinced that it is a better way, we shall enter that way very much as we adopt new inventions and better methods in the physical world.
 But underlying all our external life is persistent problem of mans relationship to his. fellow man. No matter how much we improve outward conditions, or social organization, there will still be tragedy in human life where sin and selfishness continue.
 When the social engineers have done all in their power to plan and better society, we shall be far short of its achievement |. unless men have the will and purpose to live in right relationships with one another. Meanness and sor- didness and selfishness will find a means of defeating the highest purposes, unless they themselves are conquered and driven out by love and goodness.
 To overcome evil with good is the method and goal of the great struggle in which all z od men and women are engaged. This was the supreme purpose of Jesus in coming into the world. and 1t is the victory through Him we may achieve.

Many years ago the Christmas message was first heard near the httle town of Bethlehem, but it's "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men," continues to ring out year after year. How much the world needs to listen to this angelic mes- sage of peace and good will catch the refrain in its heart, send it out in fuller and more practical ways! Simple and sweet, this Christmas message points to the sovereign panacea for all of earth's woes.
 Nativity Stands Out
 The birth of Jesus, recorded as the beginning of the Christian era, stands out as the commencement of a new era. Before this, God was worshiped as the tribal Jehavah, who was to be served in fasting and feasting materially. How widely different are the teach- ings of Christ Jesus, who taught men to know God as the Father, and to see themselves as sons of God! He explained the Christmas message. showing men how to glorify God above all, and how, through good will. to live in peace withwith themselves and all man. kind. Without this Christ m essage could the world have advanced be- yon0 it's mistaken concept of god?
 Mary Baker Eddy gained the true message of Christmas when, during time of dire. need. all human help had failed. Her faith in the power of God and her recog- milton of God as an ever present he1p enabled her to rise up freed from painful physical bondage. Wishing to help others to freedom, she searched the Scriptures pray erfully, finding its inspired message able to meet all human needs. She named her discovery Christian Science and gave it. to the world in her textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Here is voiced the Christmas mes sage, giving all glory to God, bring ing peace mentally, physically, morally, to all those who accept the teachings and earnestly apply the rules of Christian Science.
 Celebrate by Fcasts
 The Christmas season is cele- brated by many in material gift giving and feasting. The Christ mas spirit which compels one to forget or lay aside, temporarily at least, ones animosities, sorrows, and disappointments, is helpful. Mrs Eddy says in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 262), T love to ob- serve Christmas in quietude, hu- mility, benevolence, charity. letting good will towards man, eloquent silence, prayer, and praise express my conception of Truths appear ing" Through her teachings we learn how to truly observe Christ mas and to celebrate the birth of the Master each day. What joy cmes in learning the practical way to have the Christmas spirit in one's heart every dayi
 To those whose family circle is changed, the Christmas season sometimes seems to bring only a message of sadness. Those whose concept of man is material and personal miss the full message of Christmas. Instead of sad memo ries of those who no longer are

 "Christian Science" will be the subject of the lesson-sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Isaiah 52:10: "The Lord hath made bare his holy arm, in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing: And, behold, there was man in Jesusalem, whose name was Simeon and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And he came by the Spirit into the tenn pie: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus. to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up his arms, and blessed God, and said mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to Tighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel" (Luke 2: 25, 27-32).
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook: "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 332:19: Jesus demonstrated Christ; he proved that Christ IS the divine idea of God-the Holy Ghost, or Comforter. revealing the divine Principle, Love, and leading into all truth"

Synagogue Theme Of { January Convention
Position of Institution in Present Social Emergency to
 Be Discussed at New York City Sessions

chairman of the Social Justice
 Commission of the U. A. H. C., the purpose of the conference has been
 recorded and reads:
 ". to discuss what program the synagogue should develop in the present social emergency. Tho synagogue must translate into present day language the teachings and ideals of Israel and must take positive stand on the mainten- ance of the present or the estab- lishment of new social order. How can the synagogue establish itself not only as a house of worship and as a place of instruc- tion, but also as a religious center for social justice? This is the question we are to consider at the and out of our delib- erations we believe will come a program for the congre- gations"
 The first regional conference will be the beginning of a series of con- ferences on social justice which will take in every section of the country and in every reform con- sisterhood and brother hood affiliated with the U. A. H. c. The New York conference is being directed through the offices of the North East Religious Union, under the supervision of Rabbi Gustave Falk. Headquarters are at 3 East 65th street.

CHURCH SPLIT BY
 HUFFINC, PUTTING
Pastor Has ParishiOner Arrested for Being POs-
 sessed By Devil

Oklahoma City = (UP) = Con- troversy in the Full Gospel Church has caused a schism in the con- gregation and convulsed the court of Peace Justice Evert Crismore.
 It all arose over "the power" the mystic feeling which seizes those members who feel the. pres- ence of divinity and are empower ed to talk in the ''unkn0wn ton- gue."
 The church is small, unpainse ed shed near the swanky Nicholas Hills residence section inhabited by wealthy families.
 Rev, Chester Calvert contended that Clyde Jackson was "faking" when he groaned and mumbied that he was under the power" According to the pastor, who had him arrested, Jackson did not speak anything in the unknown tongue.
 The pastor thinks he was "pos- sessed of devil"
 Jackson was convinced he was breathing fire and could "biow down" anything. He threatened to blow the Jail down, melt his hand- cuffs with a fiery breath, and ac- cording to Rev. Calvert, "went around blowing in church mem bers' faces"
 When Jackson was chased out of the church, he threatened to ''huff> and puff' the Bible fright outa your hands," Calvert said.
 When the congregation went outside to watch Jackson, Rev. Calvert called the police.
 In court, before Judge Crismore, Scriptural quotations flew thick and fast. Officials scratched their heads to remember all their Bible study, but the belligerents "blew them down" when it came to handling the King James version.
 Finally, Jackson was released without fine on condition he stage no more "huffing and pulling" acts at Rev. Calvert's church.
 But the congregation is not yet a unit on its decision as to whether he really was under the power, or 'the devil had i'm" when the po- lice were summoned.
