At the Sunday morning service
the Rev. Mr.. Rogers will bring thu
message using as his topic at thu
eleven o'clock service, "A Dream
come True" Following the prophe
cy OF Isaiah and Micah some sever
hundred years before the Advent
of the Messiah, all Israel had hop
ed for the fulfillment of the De
liverer. The adversities Of the ma
ton down through the years haC
made each succeeding generation
anxious to witness the glOriou!
event. The fact that the Wise-mer
from the East had calculated ht
coming Of the new and great King
and had found the event verified
by the Scribes upon their arriva
in Jerusalem, was enough to dis
turb King Herod. While the church
seemed somewhat skeptical, the
common people were convinced
that their dream was about t.
come true.
The reception given the Chris,
child by the Wise-men as they
opened their gifts and presented
TO him their riches. and the JOY Of
the shepherds when they had
seen the babe lying in the man
ger, moved these common people
to return clarifying and praisinl
God for all the things that had
been made known unto them. Sue
ceeding generations have shown
their appreciation Of this gift tc

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

II

yet sought eagerly for the faith
and righteousness Of their forefa-
Tiers. Little wonder then that his
prophecy proved q brilliant star in
the midnight sky of that day.
The prophecy Is fulfilled. Luke
relates the story. The Prince is a
babe lying in a manger. The angels
of heaven are singing for JOY and
the started shepherds decide to as.
sure themselves of this wonderful
news. A poet once CROPPED for
words to describe Christmas eve
and finnaly "God spoke, and a
silence FELL" II seems profane,
brutal, blasphemous to even try to
describe this great event. 1t can't
be done with mere words. Only the
language Of the heart can sing
Silent Night, Holy Night.
1t seems most proper that the
heavenly angelic band should made
the announcement to the shep-
herds. Papini, in his Life of Christ
says, Themselves poor, the old
time shepherds did not look down
on the poor. Simple as children,
they loved children. They came OF
the race born of the Shepherd OF
lUr, saved by the Shepherd of Mid.
ian. TER first kings had been
shepherds Saul and David -
shepherds Of herds before being
shepherds of tribes. But these
shepherds of Bethlehem, unknown
Ito hard world were not proud.
A poor man was born among them
and they looked on Him with af.
lection and lovingly brought Him
their riches. They knew that this
boy, born of poor people in power.
ty, born Of common people in the
midst Of common people, was to
be the redeemer Of the humble, OF
Those men Of good will, on whom
the angel had called down
peace"
Our Gloria in Excelsis is taken
from the 14th verse of this second
chapter Of Luke. II was expanded
into the morning hymn as early
as the End century and for many
years has been sung at the com.
munion service of the western
churches. The old reading of the
authorized version can be para.
phrased to read, "The angels are
jpraising God in the highest hea-
ven for Christ's nativity. On earth
men enjoy peace with God, and
peace and good viii with one an
other" The Revised Version
speaks Of "men Of good pleasure"
and can be paraphrased as - "The
angels are praising God in the
highest heaven for Christ's nativi-
ty. There is peace on earth among
men to whom God has shown his
favor by his wondrous BIRTH >
Dummelow says, ''The hymn goes
beyond the words of the angel in
declaring that Gods favor In Christ
is extended to all mankind"
Ernest Fremont Title asks and
answers a most important Christ
mas question. He says, What would
lit mean to live by the vision which
comes on Christmas eve? It would
mean to trust God and not give
way to worry and faithless fears.
1t would mean to act on the faith
that the supreme power in the uni
verse is not military force but is
the love og God seeking good for
Iall men everywhere. II would
mean to practice love in daily life,
at home and in every human rela-
Itionship. The Prince of Peace can
bring q warless world.

picture of Don Boil, a rookie
tackle expected to play big role
literally as we'll as figuratively
with the Redskins this year.
Hardly any of the players re-

Coach Wayne Millner, who

Willie had only one known

erupted into a one-man riot.
Boil may have the same failing,
although the 26-year-old Ne
braskan is approaching pro foot
ball with a cold, calculating eye.
He had a $700 operation this
summer on a nose broken six
times and Don decided it
wouldn't be good business to let
that happen again. Moreover,
the operation was more painful
than the original injury.
Already in Good Shape.
Most of Don'S 270 pounds are

coaches think he'll be faster and
just as tough at 265. He agrees
with them. But after a summer

seed onto freight cars IL to Is
hours a day he's in pretty fair
condition. Although a tackle, he
pulls out of the line as nimbly
as most guards. He's quite fast,
too.
Boil hadn't even seen a football
game, much less played in one.
when Maj. Harwood, the old
Navy star. hauled him from
behind a desk at the Quantico
/ Marine base in 1948 and ordered
him into a football uniform. Two
days later Don wanted to quit.
Knocking down buddies you
weren't mad at didn't make
sense to him. But Harwood
needed him until Boil was mao
enough to win a starting berth
from some pretty good football
players, including a couple of
pros. He had a lot to do with
Quantico's winning the All-Navy
