It will not be and is not an easy way but nevertheless, a Wey filled with strength and courage; something In this atomic darkened world of ! ruthless savagery of man to man that we need. Neither is this Way for a select few but for all way faring men. Hear what is written And un highway shall there be and way, and it shall be called the way of holiness but it shall be for wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; it shall blossom abundantly, and. rejoice even with joy and singing Say to them that are of a fearful heart Be strong, fear not: Behold your God will come with recom- pence; He will come and save you" CTsaih 35:S, ?, A

PRINCE OF PEACE"

And thou shalt call His name Jesus St. Matthew l:21.
 Mury called Him this as she croon-d the cradle lyrics as every mother does. And this is His given name, just as common as John. or Sam or Joe This was the name that was used most frequently through His life. It is the fayorite of the Gospel writers. It has gone abroad through lands and has tray elled down through the centuries.
 He was Jesus son of Mary. Jesus the carpenters son. And as such He is our unique possession. Other world faiths have magnificent philosOphies and true ideas. Ours a. lone has Jesus. This is the mean ing of the clause in our historic creed. The Fathers were not trying to prove anything about the me thod of his birth, but they were declaring that He was born! This Is the answer to many d question that would otherwise remain ab- stract. Here is the actual appear ance in history of the truth we need to know. Christianity points to fact not u theory.
 
 He was Jest.z of Nazareth. In Him is redemption, not for our selves alone, but for our cOmmun- ities. The spirit of His neighborli- ness judges and rebukes our con- munity divisions and contentious and invites us to realize that con- cord that is the issue of human love that initiates the divine. Through the streets of how many Jerusalems, Bethlehems. and Naz- areths He walks today offering to unite neighbtrs through union with Him and to change our town from what it is to what it oIgh; to be when His Kingdom comes
 He was Jesus of Galilee. An act ual -flesh and blood person in q particular country and a special time. Contemporary with the issues and problems that troubled His people, never evading the cause of the poor, the dOwncast, the disin- herited. And still contemporary with our modern world He seems to say to us, You cannot worship Me from afar, for I am very near I am in the stresses of your life, crying peace amid the strife of na- tions. calling you to follow where lead, and to do the things that I say"

CHRISTMAS

"onneH StoOd looking in store window crowded with Christ. mas suggestions. Amongst all the glitter and fashion of the articles displayed, tucked away in a corner in sort of an upologetic fashion, stood small creche stable. Holy Fam1ly, shepherds, wisemen, and assorted farm animals.
 Hah! snorted one woman to her companion, nudging her sharp. ly in the ribs and pointing to the corner, ''Wouldja look ut that! Trying to drag religion into Christmas"
 To many perhaps this story is a Dit extreme. But most of us are so swamped by the emotionalism, by the commercialism, as well as by the rumors of war, and of war in actuality that we have become con- fused and ignorant as to what Christmas really means for men of good will everywhere. We must needs therefore to drug a little religion" into our thinking and actions during this festal occasion; for after all, this season does take its name from Him who gives the reason for the whole occasion. Jesus Christ
 While all the reasons can not possibly be covered here, it might sharpen our thinking by turning to some of the Old Testament pro- phicies as found in Isaiah concern ing this child of Bethlehem and yLut His birth means to us. Three such saying may help to clarify our thinking
 Christmas is not concerned with things" although gifts and the like loom large. Christmas is con- ce- ned primarily with personality a Babe = Babe who was to grow into a Man. A Man who was to be- come the foundation of our faith our way of living, our salvation. Christmas is founded upon a living Life, a living Gift of God, a Son Jesus; and not upun such inanl- mate things as gifts, etc. For it is written: Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a Stole, a tried Some" precious Stone, a sure FOunda- sion."
 In our modern world seemingly everything has U price, and Christ mas not the. least. In fact, many, il not most people, suffer from fin ancial hangover when the season is gone. The price tag we often at tach to the gifts we receive spoils or enhances said gift and rlises or lowers the giver in our estimation. Because of this, the spirit of the toyousness. But the real spirit of Christmas, Jesus, the Babe of Bethlehem, was a free gift that all might come come without thought of price or financial hard ship We'll did our Heavenly Father realize our concern with money and such, for He put into the mouth of His prophet these words "Ho everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye, yea, come U Behold I have given Him for wit ness to the people, leader and commander to the people" 1saiah 55:1,4

first monthly church service for
children. While their parents
were worshiping in the regular
morning service, the youngsters,
instead Of f1dgeting through a
ceremony intended for grown
ups, had their own service and
their own minister in another
part of the church.
Just as in the adult service,
the congregation stood as the
choir marched in. Hymns were
sung, the pastor read the scrip
ture, an offering was taken, the
congregation joined the pastor
in a responsive reading and
listened as he preached a sermon.
They stood again as the choir
marched out.
