GOOD NEWS OF A GREAT
JOY"
Scripture Lesson Mat
thew 2:1-12; Luke 2:1-20; Print
Luke 2:1-16.
MEMORY SELECTION =
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, | BRING
YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF
GREAT JOY, which shall be
to all people. For unto you is
born this day in the city of
David Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord. = duke 2:10,
ID. Angels have great inter
est in Christ. In fact, He is
their Creator and they worship
Him. They do His bidding and
serve as Gods messengers. An
gels also have a great interest,
not only in the Deity of Christ,
but also in His humanity
Angels greatly rejoiced in the
birth of Christ. The birth of
Christ was good news to them
The Apostle Peter wrote that
angels desired to look into the
matter of redemption, even Of
the birth, life, death and resur-
rection of Christ. On the
night of His birth, the angels
appeared to the shepherds and
gave them the announcement
of ChriSt's birth. They shared
their joy with men. The an
gels recognized the Deity and
humanity of Christ, and that
the Babe born was the Saviour
of men.
THE BIRTH OF JESUS:
In the Roman Empire the
government required all cltl-
zenS to return to the place
of their birth to be registered
instead of sending a census
taker to the citizens. Joseph
was born in Bethlehem, SO he
was forced to take his wife to
Bethlehem to be registered.
The city was crowded with peo-
pie who had come for this
same purpose. All public
lodging was in use The par
ticular innkeeper who is men
toned in the Christmas story
had no reason to have reserved
a place for Joseph and Mary.
There must have been even
other women in town besides
Mary who were with child.
Jesus is not shut out of hun
dreds and thousands of lives
today by design and purpose.
Men have jobs to see after.
They must support wives and
children. Relationship be-
tween family, friends, employ
ers and others must be kept
up. Visits must be made. Let
tiers must be written. Cars
must be repaired or washed
Midnight vigil must be kept at
the bedside of the sick. We
must keep up. We must get
ahead. And sometime we
must rest or get sick.
THE PROCLAMATION OF
THE ANGELS.
Men on the street where
Jesus was born did not know
what was going on, but heaven
knew. Men on the street were
too concerned with their own
business" but what was going
on in the stable of the inn was
heavens business, too So
that night down through Glow
en- skies floated angel mes
sengers to inform those who
were not too busy to care
Receptive souls happened to
be shepherds who were keep
ing watch over their flocks by
night. 1t was to these hum
BILE men the good news was
BILE to receive communication
first announced. 1t takes hunr
from God. The message which
the angels brought was direc-
ted to all people. The people
of our world are covering in
fear. However, the message
which the angels. sang above
the Judean hill is ust as valid
right this minute as it was
nearly 1000 years ago. There
is no place for fear in Christ
Jesus. There is no defeat or
death for all those who put
their trust in him.

 As centuries passed the Church mi t. |igated her peni tential practices, and |penances were assigned secretly. Since the early middle ages Catholics in general have dedicated thems Ives to the practice of penance by receiving the sacred ashes. Nob1es, Kings, en- perors wa king barefooted would lead their people to the Altar seeking the sacred dust.
 The black mark of ashes oh will be seen on so many Ash Wednes sdaY is worn as a symbol of mans nothingness and Gods Allness. No longer con- fession of public sin, it is still a sign that human weakness can, be con- quered only by combination of Gods grace, penance and prayer. Only Cath olics will wear the mark, but everyone can benefit by it's message.

 MESSAGE IN THE DUST
 It is surpri sing that no one turned in a fire alarm. Smoke flowed into the assageway from the room where two coughing, wet-eyed men added fuel to an open fire. They were not arsonists or saboteurs; not even communi cators burning their day's work. They were just the Catholic Chaplain andhis yeo- man burning palms left over from last Pa I'm Sunday.
 A hundred palm branches and a book of matches produced enough ashes to fill small mason jar and assorted by-products: two smoky uni forms, four soot-blackened hands, three burned fingers, a spotted overhead and a dirty deck.
 Next "Wednesday, after they have been blessed, the ashes will be imprinted on Catholic foreheads by the priest who will saYto each person, "Remember, man, you are dust, and to dust you will return." This ceremony is a relic of a custom which dates back to early Chri stian times.
 In those days whoever had comni tied a grave, public sin was obliged to sub- init to public penance at the beginning of Lent. The penance cons sisted in ex- clusion from the Mass, the practice of works of satisfacti on, prayer, mortif- ication, fasting. It was imposed pulp licly by the Bishop on Ash Wednesday

Specifically written and thny acted it bears every
Of that kind of oppounsm which merely exploits the

There is so vastly much more
to the Eichmann affair that
has stirred moraliSts, states
men, legaliSts and others that
this quick skim over the sur
face Of the case is an offense to
good taste. What it amounts to
in this guiSe is a bad imitation
of those quickie melodramaS
Hollywood made when it first
decided that Hitler might turn
out to be an evil.
No one, to be sure, will queS-
ton the screenplay's basic
assumption that Eichmann's
assignment to exterminate 6
million Jews may well be man
kinds most monStrouS per-
Torrance. 1t is an act almost
beyond the grasp Of the human
imagination, and certainly it is
not to be contemplated in its
mad inhumanity in a motion
picture that looks like a mon
tage Of newspaper headlines.
This is precisely what it does
look like in Operation Eich-
mann" whose very title has
the ring of sheer expediency.
Save for a few of the shocking
documentary inserts of the de-
struction of human life in the
Nazi concentration camps, the
film is almost totally unkeyed
to reality.
What it is, essentially, is a
mere pursuit melodrama. This
starts with a wanly routine
narrative stretch of how Hitler
decided to destroy Europe'S
Jews, Eichmann'S assignment
to direct the monstrous project,
and the worlds horror when
Germany'S defeat revealed the
appalling criminality of it all.
Afterward, Werner Klemperer
playing an Eichmann who
looks like the villain in an
episode of television's old For
eign Intrigue" is followed from
hideout to hideout until his
capture in South America.
Leader of those who trail him
from Germany to Madrid and
thence across the Atlantic is
a one-tjme child survivor of
Auschwitz, character to whom
Donald Burka undertakes to
give quiet and authentic sub
stance.
In outline, this chase of Hit
ler's master slaughterer follows
the story of Eichmann'S en-
trapment, the latter thanks in
part to the blonde dumbneSs
of the mistress he takes along
to ease his loneliness and his
conscience, had he a conscience.
