The new coasters make 1t easy
to have your toast just the way you

slide in the bread. Lucky people

News of Rescue

news OF rescue
MANY Americans, caught in the
lSl war, starving behind electric
fences for years on end, caught
their first news Of victory from see
ing American planes roaring high
overhead. No words were needed.
1t was news, good news. the news
Of rescue, of freedom.
So it is with man. Caught in the
long var between good and evil, a
prisoner in the enemy's country,
behind the high fences of frustra-
ton, Flooding heavily through the
freezing mire of barren sins, man
despairs of strength or freedom.
To all mankind, to each one
who will listen, the Christmas
story is good news Of rescue. A

News of Peace
nNE of the best kinds OF news
~ there is is to learn that someone
we thought was an enemy, is actu-
ally a friend. The end of misunder-
standing, of estrangement-what a
rush of warmth to the heart it
bringsl
That is the news of the first Christ
mas-that God is our friend. Christ
did not come to assure men that
there is a God. That was well
known, indeed few doubted it. He
did not even come to announce that
there is but one God, for that was
already known to the wiser sort OF
men. Neither did his coming I'M
veil the God of justice. The Greeks
and Romans. as well as the Jews,
knew such a God only too well.
No wonder a Roman poet, looking
about on the religions of his time,
concluded that fear is the great
god-maker. His notion was a mis-
take; but it was a natural one.
For all the religions of the ancient
world, even the religion of the
Jew. were attempts to ward off
the anger of offended gods.
The coming of Christ was to
put an end to all that. This was
more than a friendly gesture,
it was an act of love. Those who
have discovered God in Christ
have found that God is not only
our Maker but u heavenly
Father and Friend. There is ne
better news!

Chairman Taft announced the de-
tails remain to be worked out at an
other conference with House leaders

bills.

gram for next week as follows:
