SALVATION ARMY
By Lieut.. Ruth Maynard

Some people will go through all observance of Christmas this year, but will miss the meaning of it. It has been so from the very first ap- pearance of the angelic hosts pro- claiming the coming of a Savior. The tidings were for all men but only the ones who received it, and found the proof of the message at the manager, experienced "the great joy"
 Times have greatly changed. Cir cumstances vary with each land and every year. There have been new and amazing discoveries in al- most every realm of human activ- ity. In the midst of all this change though, the Christmas meaning is still the same: For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus; for He shall save His peo- pie from their sins" Strangely enough, we find also, that in this year of 1853, men have remained in about the same relationship to the message.
 There were people in the Inn who never knew the significance of the occasion. They were undoubted- Iy eating, drinking, busy with the interests and concerns of their own lives. When the nights activities broke up, people retired, and the Inn was still Right next to the magner men slept through the most important night of their lives, com pletely oblivious to the glorious oc- casion with the greatest signifi- canoe the world will ever know: God with us. :" the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. These people were not seeking God not looking for "the Messiah" They did not acknowledge the need of a Savior from sin.

 It was 10 the shepherds that the Angels of the Lord appeared; it was sheph ards who saw the glory of the Lord; it was the shepherds who were told personally that this night l of Christmas was a time of rejoic- ing for all people," it was shep- herds who heard the thrilling angel chorus.
 Few parts of tte Gospel record are more encouraging for us all than this heart-wasming first hand i contact with the Christmas event, wni-h came to the shepherds. The Wise Men, the learned and mighty, were led by a remote star. But the shepherds, the men who were busy with ordinary tasks, heard the 1 great glad tidings" of Christmas in the fields where they were earn ing a living.
 You and I find inspiration and comfort in the shepherds exper- ience Christmas - the coming of Christ-touche the comuon round of our days, and illumines them with new light. We stand beside the school desk, the counter, the work bench, the operating table the kitchen sink, the boat wheel and the words come clear, Unto you is born this day a Savior"
 If Christ's coming be not a com ing to men in the midst of the com mon life, if His coming be not dis closed clearly and unmistakably to all of us just where we are, so that cur lives are transformed just where we are - then God pity us!
 The experience of the shepherds is our sure proof and guarantee of Emmanuel, God with us, in the here and now!
 But we must be up and moving. We must take ourselves to the Christ Child, both to see and to make the offering of our lives. And then we return to the old familiar places to a new life. For now We know at first hand that Christmas is true = that God has come to dwell with Us men where we are. And we, too, glorify and praise God because of Christmas and the Child and the shepherds.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
 By Rev. Paul ?. Evans, Pastor

And when they saw the start, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy" St. Matthew 2:10.
 One of the great mysteries con nected with the birth of Jesus is the appearanee of the guiding star. It was a mystery to the wisemen, oven as they followed it faithfully. 1t is just such a mystery to us as We look back upon it from the van taga point of nineteen hundred and fifty-three years. It was a part of the vast miracle by which
 God imparts to human hearts
 The blessings of His heaven"
 But as those wisomen looked in to the sky, there were other stars. There must have been bright stars shining that night 2. stars that left for the wisemen a choice as to which one they would follow. That is one of the ways God works with men.
 Mankind is always given a choice of good The way is made plain. Light is shed upon the right path. So there must have been other stars in the sky. One led them to the Christ Child, the other led away from Him. It was the brightest star in their heaven.
 After the intervening centuries, We see the same stars today which those wisemen saw, in a symbolic sense. The star which they have fol- lowed, some of us let go by; and the ones that the wisemen rejected, we follow. Tn looked to the brightest star, and it led them to the Christ. When we have followed the lesser stars, we hav- been led away from the manager.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
By Merritt Crockcr

The central theme of Christmas lis the birth of Christ. Christ came To bring peace To men's hearts, where before there was nothing but troubled soul
 He came to bring joy to the homes of the s1rrowiug. He came to utt the Ddraeus oi care from those who Were tllIed wIth the cares of this life. He scame to show the null titodes how they could minister to the needs of humanity by going the second mile. He came to reveal the true meaning of piety and practical Godliness He came to tell men that it wasn't their long prayers in the synagOogues and on the street cor ners that would bring to them the appreciation of God He outlined for them such duties as these: Visit the prisoners, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, comfort the comfort less; bring cheer to the dishearten- ed lend a helping hand and give a cheerful smile to the down-and- outers
 Jesus came to preach a message of temperance. He will be ashamed of those individuals who drink in- toxieating beverages this Christmas season, thus defiling the body, the image of God, which is supposed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.
 If you would kno1 the true joy of Christmas you must know Jesus, Who is the source of all true joy and happiness, both now and for ever.

ASSEMBLY OF GOD
By Bro. William R. Gum
Dear WrangeI People

Dear Wrangell People.
 In few more days will be the birthday of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
 In tht 9th Chapter of Isaiah. starting at the 10th verse. God speaking through the prophet. 10 the wicked King Ahaz. Ask sign of the Lord thy God" but the king said: T will not ask; neither will tempt the Lord. Therefore. the Lord Himself, will give you a sign. behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear Son and shall call His name Emmaneul."
 So, at this time all Christians the world over are thanking God that this was fulfilled. When God sent His angels from heaven to the shep- herds as they watched over their flocks by night. Luke 2:9.
 It is so wonderful to see. how this Word of God was fulfilled when the Son of God was born.
 So dear Wrangel people, as this old year is going past, not knowing what the new year will be like. let's you and I put all our trust in the Son of God, as He is our only hope and is a friend. Bless God that We will never leave or never for sake Him. Bless His name forever.
 In closing We of the Wrangell Mission wish every soul in this city a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 And may the dear Lord bless us and save every soul, for the sake of Ills Son, Jesus. Amen, to the Son of God

St. Rose of Lima and St. John
 Father M. Hoch, Pastor

The hymn of the Angels to the shepherds on that first Christmas night was of Peace to Mon of Good Will" Thus, Our Blessed Say for. the Prince of Peace,' was ushered into the world of mortal man. And, annually since that day this heralding of Christs coming has been voiced throughout the world. Hence, our message of peace Is not new.
 To glorify God and to give peace to men was the mission of Christ, and that remains the aim and pur- pose of revealed religion to this day. Obviously, God gave this to the en- tire world for which all men crayed, and this for which even now na- tions hunger. Contradicatory as it may seem, the very object of con flicts and struggles of which we ourselves are, witnesses in our own life is a search after peace. The de- sire of peace is DO strong in the hearts of men that even the horrors of war will not restrain them from striving to obtain 1t.
 Peace is something more than merely an absence of conflict; it is the tranquility of order" - it is condition of right order in human life. It implies the habit of right living in a positive way = a day by-day compliance with the Will of God, His commandments, His vir- tues of justice and charity. It is, therefore, a consistent suppression or self, of pride and of greed; a habitual regard for the needs of others, a constant practice of social justice and Christian love. These after all, are the positive elements of peace.
 Man was not created for himself but for God and his fellowmen The individual is not supreme Until man learns to recognize his eternal destiny and to acknowledge not only the rights of those who govern, but also the rights of those who are governed, and until he exercises an intelligent understanding of the duties of both, he cannot hope for peace of mind and heart, neither can he reasonably expect peaceful relations between individuals, be- tween economic classes, among in- dustriaI groups, or in social pur- suits, nor between nations in hu- man society.
 Since men, however, have not at tained this end, God is not at fault. We are, because Our Savior came in contradiction to all that the world, as such, holds great and lasting. His coming amongst His poverty as opposed to the. pride, greed and riches of the world. More over, Christ's first Christmas mes sge was made practical in His two great commandments of love: To love God above all things and to regard one's neighbor as ones self is to make peace secure and to at stain such happiness as the riches and pleasures of the world can not give. Christ. therefore, has given us the fundamental principles for lasting peace, and from history
The Wrangell sentinel., 1953-12-25

 and our own experience, we know that without such principles, hu- man friendships are insecure, hap piness is not real, and peace but short-lived.
 Our Christmas message, there fore, is the prayer of the angels on the first Christmas night, Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace to men of good will" and may the Christ-child bless us with His peace. His love and His graces on His birthday and throughout our lives.
