many ways most meaningful to
you and me. The shepherds, the
humble toilers of the earth, I'M
mortalized by the humble Scots
man, James Montgomery:
Shepherds in the fields abiding
Watching DER your flocks by
night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light
Come and worship, come and
worship,
Worship Christ the newborn
King"
They were ordinary people, these
shepherds, busy about very ordin-
ary tasks, whose eyes first saw
''the glory of the coming of the
Lord". The place of duty, however
humble, is also the place of vision.
1t was men like these whom Jesus
called to be His early followers 4. 4.
men who kept to the deep, simple
pieties of life and to whom Christ
came in the midst of their daily
faithfulness.
Again He comes and how shall
He be received? Who will give Him
welcome? How shall He be hon.
ored? "Tho' Christ a thousand
times in Bethlehem be born, if He's
not born in Thee, thy heart is still
forlorn."
How may we welcome Him?
Gas we do unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye do it
unto me-" is still His word today.
81 am hungry and you give Me
food, / am thirsty and you give
Me drink, / am a stranger and
you welcome Me, am naked and
you clothe Me, I am sick and you
visit Me, l am in prison and you
visit Me. AS you do it to one'of the
least of these my brethren, you
do it to Me-.
Even so come, Lord Jesus, we
welcome You.
''How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given.
So God imparts to human
hearts
The blessings of His Heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But In this world of sin,
Where pure souls will receive
Him, still
The Christ Child enters in.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

When you buy expensive pre-
SentS
For your own who are so dear,
Do you ever think of families
Who have naught to bring them
cheer?
With your loved ones gathered
round you
Every heart overflows with joy,
Do you try to cheer the parents
Who have lost their girl or boy?
Do you welcome in the stranger
Who is far away from home.
Let him know his neighbor loves
him
So he need not feel alone?
When you're i'll in soul or body
Feeling so depressed and blue
Do you ever think of others
Who may suffer more than you?
Ever think about the old folks
Who have seen so much of strife?
Do you keep your troubles from
them--
Let them live a peaceful life?
With the publicans and sinner
Jesus supped because he knew
''The well need no physician"
Can't We help the sinners, too?
So let's extend out Christmas
Far beyond our own front door
Bringing Peace on earth and
good will
For now and forevermore.

A collision and an uninvited Russian merchant ship also hampered Mainbrace Mon- day.
 The ships in collision were Brit aims biggest and newest aircraft carrier, HMS Eagle, and the Dutch destroyer Van Glen, which tangled while refueling Sunday. The destroyer received super ficial" damage.

Sen. Nixon To
 Report to Nation By Radio and nv
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Sen. Richard Nixon interrupted his campaign tour today to pre- pare report to the nation on the $18,00O gift controversy. And Adlai Stevenson once again urged repeal of the Taft Hartley Act.
 Meanwhile the Eisenhower whistle-stop train chugged on through the midwest with the Nixon affair still front and cen ter.
 Stephen Mitchell, Democratic National Chairman, has called on Nixon to quit because he accepted S18,235 in contributions from a group of California businessmen. Mitchell said this was morally wrong; Nixon said it wasn't, that the money was used for political purposes and saved the taxpayers money.
 Stevenson took another whack in his AFL speech at the Repub- lican harmony meeting between Eisenhower and the man whom the general defeated for the COP nomination, Sen. Taft of Ohio. He coupled that attack with a de- fense of his own position on labor legislation.
 Stevenson took note of Repub- lican accusations that he was forced to turn to the left and call for repeal of Taft-Hartley because of labor union pressure. He said these statements were mere pol itical propaganda and showed the Republicans have no issues to raise.
 "Why is it," he said, "That when political ammunition runs low, the rusty artillery of abuse is always wheeled into action?"
 Nixon announced his change in campaign plans at a hastily-as- sembled news conference in Portland, Ore. He said his nation wide address will be given either Tuesday or Wednesday,, that 1t will originate in Los Angeles and last half-hour.
 He said he had told Eisenhower in a telephone conversation last night, of his plans to go before the American people via radio and television. Eisenhower agreed it was the proper thing to do, he said.

company's big crew.
Seventy-flve of these key men
and women visited Red Feather
agencies so they'd be familiar with

to solicit pledges.
Then came the idea about the
poster.
It appealed for each Pepco en-
ploye to give at least a penny a
week for each of the 16 basic Red
Feather services.
Other posters were put around
the Offices. power plants and sub
stations. They bore pictures of

Gen. Eisenhower has said
that, if elected. he will try to
make an honorable peace in
Korea. .... .......
It may conceivably be possible
to conclude a peace, provided
that our negotiators recognize a
few long-neglected axioms about
peace. These are that peace,
to endure, must be self-sustain-
ing; and that to be self-sustain-
ing it must protect every
legitimate security consideration
of all parties directly concerned.
A peace that must perpetually
be policed is no peace; a peace
whose aim is punitive will not
endure; and q peace whose OBJ
ject is to win a Strategical vic
tory in a cold war will not be
conSummated as long as one
side or the other can keep on
fighting.
The parties intimately con-
cerned in the Korean war are
first the Korean people them
selves; then, and equally, China.

Each-with whatever additional
reason-is concerned out of
basic security considerations,
and would be concerned regard
less of its form of government.
China was concerned when she
was governed by the Manchus;
Japan, ever since she emerged
from isolation; Russia, whether
she was Tsarist or Communist.
PeacemakerS should aim at re-
ducing the problem to these
security considerations.
Korea is a peninsula with
only one land frontier on China
and-a very narrow one-on> the
Soviet Union. This frontier can
be a gate to the invasion of
either. No Chinese or Russian
government, whatever its So
cial or political structure, will
