Today's Church
Message
BY REV. j. EVERETTE NEESE.

THE STAR.
The star of hope has come and left
with us the hearts Master. The visible
light of the star has gone. the stac
itself, has fulfilled it's mission of light
ing the way for the wise mcr. So, to-
day, we need too, with an unknown
poet, say:
Shine on o star of splendor,
AS you did in that long ago;
Guiding the Wise of the Mag
To a manger bed so low.
There the clouds of glory parted
AS the angels sang on high;
There the cattle stood in silence
At a moments lullaby.
Down through the. countless age
You have Sent your glorious light,
Symbol of Gods great promise
Fulfilled on that holy night.
Shine on! O star of splendor,
AS you did that wonderous night;
Just light my path through darkness
. And guide my steps Alright.
