can supply.
why Bethlehem" We can find
Him there our Savior, our Lord
and our King.
Perhaps there is in your heart
the thought, Must 1 go to Beth
lehem? My business is demanding.
My social engagements are inescap-
able. Demands of all sorts are
pressing in on all sides. Besides,
what would my friends and bust
ness associates think of me if l
were to humble myself and go to
Bethlehem? Must l go to Bethle-
hem?
The answer to that query lies a
gain in the familiar Christmas
Story. When the Wise Men, in
their efforts to find the newborn
King, stopped at the palace of
King Herod, he instructed them
to search diligently for the young
Child; and when We have found
Him, bring me word again that I
may come and worship Him also"
Herod too, said in effect, Must
I go to Bethlehem"
And Herod made a decision "A
momentous decision that was to af-
feet his eternal destiny For, in
sending others on an errand that
was his own, he lost his God-given
opportunity to find the Christ
Child for himself. The Wise Men
never returned to Herod; they de-
parted to their own country, TAX
ing another way back.
The warning is clear and un-
mistakable. If you want the Christ
you must seek Him yourself.
So. friend. why not go to Bethle-
hem? As you seek Him you will
not search blindly His Spirit will
tell you where He is. His star will
guide you. Then the Christ will be
in your Christmas, and there will
be true Joy and pleasure in giving
and sharing, for as you give tn
others, you bring your gifts to
Him.

WHY BETHLEHEMg

Have you lost something this
Christmas? Are you missing the joy
and delight of giving and sharing
because somehow, somewhere. love
has slipped out? Perhaps your tro-
bic is that YOU have lost the Christ
out of your Christmas, and without
Him Christmas is empty and mean
ingless. If such be so, let us go and
search diligently, that, finding Him,
the meaning of Christmas may be
regained and restored.
But where shall we find Him?
The Scriptures read: Now when
Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from
the east to Jerusalem saying. Where
is He that is born King of the
Jews? For we have seen His star in
the east and areco me to worship
Him And they said: In Bethle-
hem of Judea.
Several centuries before the ad-
vent of Christ the prophet Micah
wrote of Bethlehem the epitaphic
statement. Thou be little among
the thousands of JUDAH Yet, in the
sending of His Son to be born in the
lowly town. God showed the nature
Of the Christ and His ministry.
Jesus was later to say of Himself, q
am meek and lowly in heart"
Still later the Apostle Paul was to
explain "(Christ' being in the form
of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God; but made Himself
of no reputation and took upon Him
the form of a servant and was made
in the likeness of men; and being
found in fashion as a man, He hum
bled Himself, and became obedient
unto death. even the death of the
Cross"
why Bethlehem? The Savior came
as the least of men that the LOWEST
might find Him, to teach that those
who consider themselves too high
must become humble of heart if they
would find Him.
Why Bethlehem? The answer in
wolves a further question: Have you
looked closely at the displaying of
a rare gem? One of the most strik-
Ing features is the absence of orna-
The setting is beautiful
for its very simplicity and dignity.
Everything of lesser import must be
subordinated that the gem in all its
scintillating beauty may shine forth.
So God saw fit to use lowIy Both
lehem as a foil for the first showing
of His most gorgeous gem - the
Lord Jesus. And Gods setting was
perfect.
Once more the query, why Beth
lehem?' 1t was the diyinely ordain-
ed spot where the Savior was to be
found.

Dear Wrangell people Greetings
to yeryone in the name of of our
dear Lord
The year 1852 is fast coming to
a close and 1 have been praying
much, searching my heart asking
myself this question: Just what
good 1 have done the past year and
may the dear Lord help me if I
have done wrong" And before 1 go
on, dear folks, if 1 have hurt any
ones feelings 1 want you to for
give me, not for my sake, but for
the sake of our dear Lord.
In the 9Th chapter of Isaiah, YER
ses 81: For unto US a Child is
born. Unto us a Son is given; and
the government shall be upon His
shoulders. And His name shall be
called Wonderful Counsellor, The
M Ugh ty God, the Everlasting
Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of His government and
peace there shall be no end Upon
the throne of David and upon His
kingdom, to order it and to estab-
lish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for
ever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts
win perform this. Amen, to the Son
of God.
As we look into Micah, So, We
see then the prophet foretelling the
birthplace of Jesus: But thou,
Bethlehem Erhratoh, though thou
be little among the thousands of
Judah yet out of thee shall He
come forth unto me that to be rul-
er in Isreal, whose going forth has
been from of old from everlasting
Thanks, because of the great
love that He had for you and me,
The Child was born over 1850 years
ago - the Christ Child came. The
message was given to the shepherds
as they watched over their flocks by
night in Luke, 18th verse: For unto
you is born this day, in the City OF
David, a Savior which is Christ the
Lord" And in John, 3-16 the Son
was given, for God so loved the
world that he gave his only bsgotten
Son that "whosoever believeth i'll
Him shall not perish" but have
everlastin life Is not this wonder
full that whatsoever would come to
Jesus would be saVed?.
Dear Wrangell people ] have had
people in Wrangell try to tell me
that they were tho only one, but
Jesus said that this old time gospel
was for anyone that would come.
What a wonderful Savior is Jesus,
our dear Lord So dear Wrangell
people this Child was born, the Son
was given, and gave of His life that
you and I would have life.
So, in closing, I will say that any
time that you want Jesus you can
find Him. He will never leave you
nor forsake you and He loves every
)one just as much as He did when
He gave up His life that you and I
might have Life.
May the dear Lord bless you, one
and all, and may you have a Merry.
Christmas and Happy New Year.

Fantastic Gains Made
In Racing Attendance
And Betting in U. 5.
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-With q
fall term of racing yet to come
and figures far from complete, q
preliminary survey of attendance
and betting at the Nations major
tracks today showed a fantastic
gain as compared with 1851.
The thoroughbred racing sport
is riding along on its biggest boom
since the plush postwar years
when the Jingle around the pari-
mutuel windows hit record pro-
portions.
An Associated Press compila-
ton from the "a racing States
disclosed betting is up at every
one Of the tracks, by from 8 to
81 per cent.
The biggest pari-mutuel betting
year came In 1946 when the mu-
tuel machines handled 1880. .287,-
455. Last season the AP survey
showed $1,629. .239.7 TIT wagered, an
increase Of 17.01 per cent over
1850.
Explanations Vary.
Attendance totaled 24,302, ,O2O
in 1851, q gain Of 6.01 per cent
over 1850, and revenue to the
States reached a record of $780,
927.423.
Track officials give various ex-
plantations. One, the breakdown on
illegal bookmaking following the
Kefauver Committee hearings;
two. an increasing public conf
dence in the sport, through efforts
Of the Thoroughbred Racing Pro-
tective Bureau to rid racing of the
crooked element.
Whatever the reason, tracks still
operating or with race meetings
still to be held are reaping the
golden harvest.
The upsurge was indicated for
the Nation as a whole when the
Florida, California and Louisiana
winter tracks did a land office
business. It carried through to the
Northern tracks.
