Christmas Messages from Ministers Sound Note Of
 True YuIetide Mearlin Q

things must come to pass! Where is the promised peace that should be characteristic of His Kingdom?
 But peace is not to be secured in a moment. It must go much deeper than the superficial absence of out ward strife. Peace, to be of any real permanent value must be in the hearts of men. And today there are indications that mems hearts are turned toward peace. When the President of this great nation, speaking for the nation as well as for himself, says, T hate war; America hates war!" he is proclaim ing a great truth-the world hates war. And the time must soon come when the nations of the world will make their wills known in no un- certain terms. Some progress has been made. On earth peace"-it is Gods will as manifested by the Holy Child of Bethlehem.

By CHARLES c. PERSONEUS Bethel PentecOstal Assembly

When Christ was born in Bethle- hem, the angels sang over the Jul dean lulls a glorious song of praise and worship; Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" This was a won- derful declaration of Gods great love and marvellous plan for the sons of men. We see the divine or der set forth in this song of praise Glory to God in the highest" When Jesus taught the disciples to pray He told them to say first: "Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hal lowed be Thy Name" If we would move in perfect order We must re- member Gods glory always comes first. When the people of this earth do as we are told in I Cor. 10: 31: whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" then we will have Peace on earth, good will toward men"
 Gods plan for this earth is peace and good will But the Christmas of 1887 finds the world in unrest and turmoil in many countries. We hear of wars and rumors of war Must we say like the poet: There is no peace on earth, I said" The world is not yet enjoying peace on earth because it crucified the Prince of Peace when He came to earth The peace on earth" proclaimed at Christ's first coming is the portion of every true Christian now, and it will be established on earth when Jesus, the Prince, comes the second time, to establish His reign ot righteousness and peace. Till then God has promised to keep us in per feet peace if our hearts and minds are stayed upon Him. Peace is pos sible only through zesus Christ who is our peace, and the Prince of Peace May the peace of God fill all our hearts because of the presence ot Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

PROMOTING PEACE ON EARTH

As Neal OHara the coumnist, used to say, the whole town is talking Not only this town but every town in the nation, large and small. We are talking in tone of indignation We saying that never have we seen anything so utterly uneaed for the war cry that is ringing around the world.
 First it Italys invasion of Ethiopia over which everybody made lot of noise including Italy which annexed the land of Halle Selassie Hardly had Mus solinis forces returned home when Japan moved in for another piece of China, and again the Occidental world expressed indignation. We declare whole heartedy that it is nothing short of aggression and we against it.
 It is historical fact that some 300 years ago what is now America a land dominated by the Indian. Our ancestors landed on the eastern shore and through the years pushed onward until today the proud land of the Indian is the land of the white man. The Indian is almost extinct.
 Of course, it aggression. As writer so aptly put it. have sinned our own sins But we forget we express moral indignation con- dtons the world finds them today
 At this Christmas with the message of Peace on Earth again ringing out it might be a good thing to remember If want peace earth one of the best in that direction is to remember our shortcomings
 The trouble in the Orient is the orientas prob lem Let us, in the interest of peace on earth let the oriental settle it.

May the greetings and Christmas blessings descend from the. Christ Child upon our poor war-torn world this day, and give it that lasting peace and joy that God only can give. May it give to all true com fort and peace of mind and body.
 May His hold blessing comfort all the sick in the home, in the hos pital, the wounded and dying on the battlefield. May Christ bring com fort, peace and harmony to all our homes suffering from discord and misunderstanding to mothers and fathers saddened by wayward chil- dren.
 May His blessings descend in great abundance upon the anxious and lonely mothers and fathers of the hundreds of thousands on the battlefields today and make it pos sible that the light of God shine upon all that they may see the folly and horror of it all and send the true peace Christ alone can give.

And there were in the same coun- try shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night" And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people" For unto you is born this day in the city of David Saviour, which is Christ the Lord"
 Gods greatest news is revealed to humble men. There were many great men and many wealthy men in Pal estine. There were scholars of the most profound learning. But it was not to any of these that the angels came and it was not their ears which heard the heavenly music. The greatest news the world ever heard was given to humble shepherds. The Good Shepherds coming was told to humble shepherds on Bethlehem s hills.
 The glory reached the shepherds while they were busy watching their flocks. These humble men were at their humble duty when the heavens shone in glory, and the air thrilled with magnificent music. It was to the shepherds who were at their posts and who were toiling faith fully at their appointed work that God revealed the birth of Jesus Christ. Could there be any better Christmas message than that? It is the shepherds at their posts who see angels.
 The manager proves that the music is true. This shall be sign unto you, ye shall find the babe lying in a manager" We may put our visions to proof. No vision of love, if truly from God, will pass away and leave us to our night.
 The angels departed, but Jesus the Christ remained. Though the glories of life fade, Christ Jesus still remains. Better than the song of any angels is his fellowship.

Amid the roar of cannon, whine of shells, bursting and shock of bombs with the whirr of planes, we hear the cry of the wounded and dying mingled with the rattling of sabers; and following the accusa- tions, threats, and counter threats, If we listen carefully we can hear through it all the voice of God through the prophet Isaiah For unto us child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his gov- ernment and peace there shall be no end Through the ages the human heart has longed for peace yet how few make the Prince of Peace their King.

Peace on earth goodwill toward men" are the words used by the heavenly host in announcing the birth of the Christ Child. That is the Christmas message, and it should be the most welcomed mes sage among earth's millions today. What glorious season this would be if men would take up the angelic song, and wait it, on waves of holy melody, back to the skies from which He came. Let us give this in- carnate Christ our purest love, our humblest homage, our best and richest offerings Of thankfulness. He is indeed, worthy of the highest praise of all the children of men.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Ever since the first Christmas day when the angels sang "Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward Men, D have we ever linked it up with any thing but happiness. One day in which we forget our cares and wor- ries, sweetest day of all the year
 Our first thought of Christmas is gifts. The wise men brought gifts to the Babe in the manager. We should give our gifts love. This should not merely be a gift giving or receiving occasion. It has Spiritual significance God so loved that He gave of His best, His Son. Let us likewise give ourselves to make Christmas day last through out the year.

 Love your enemies, pray for them
 that despitefully use you and per- lsecute you,-he that takes the sword shall perish with the sword These statements were buttressed with a life that proved them to be the eter- nal truth, unchanging realities.
 Shall we not at this Christmas tide surrender our lives anew to the eternal Prince of Peace, make Him first in all we do and say making peace a reality in our lives, homes and country. Of the increase of his government and Peace There Shall be no End"
