ZION BAPTIST

The Minister, the Church School,
and the Singing groups helped
worshippers at Zion Sunday, De-
cember "a, join others in spirit to
proclaim the Christ child birth
anew.
Using as Scripture reference
Luke 1920, Rev. J. r. Holloway,
pastor, gave the invitation Let
us go over to Bethlehem"
The minister stated, Life is
wrapped up in mystery. Jesus
birth, the angels plea - Fear Not!
was mystery. But the shepherds
left their flock when they heard
the Good News, and the assurance
from the angels there was no need
to be afraid, went over to Bethle-
hem to see the babe-born in a
manger that would cause all to re-
joice at His birth. Just as these
shepherds left their fields, Christ
ians today must leave their fields,
of indifference, apathy, jealousy,
and unconcern to go over to the
of the Christ of inspira-
ton, and thanl1fulness.
In concluding the pastor EN-
God is breaking through
mysteries daily, this is seen when
we look upon events happening for
the first time. We can witness the
birth of a Saviour Of Hope 4.

the masses, shepherds - to an

"But [ like you"
MALIBU, CALF.

The game of Cowboys and Indians had .
Il been going on vigorously and, to stretch
the meaning of the word little, peacefully,
out on the beach for some time. Then,
suddenly, there was trouble.
One of the youngsters, brown-haired
Cowboy, about seven and the youngest of
the lot, had been captured by the Indians
and was to be tied to a stake - the stake
being huge, ugly hunk of driftwood that
looked very much like the gnarled roots of
an ancient tree. The brown-haired Cowboy
objected to being tied to the driftwood.
Whether, in his concept of the game, the
driftwood was not legitimately stake or
whether he, out of some special sensitivity,
found the ugly driftwood Objectionable, |
could not make out. But he was very definite
about it. He would not be tied to it.
The boss of the game, the oldest of the
boys, about ten or eleven and something of
bully, grew angry.
''Co on home, Yellow!'' he shouted at the
little fellow. 'Co on home. We don't like
you!''
The other boys, in the natural spirit of the
gang, took up the words in a sort of sing song.
''Go on home, Yellow! We don't like your
The boy, hurt and bewildered by this
sudden show of cruelty, looked from one face
to another. Then, after long moment, in
a voice quavering but deeply earnest, he
said, but like you.''
The sing-song stopped before his earnest
ness. For brief moment, it seemed as if his
simple but grave, moving words would have

some effect Three of the boys looked at one
another in uncertainty. They had been
somehow touched.
But the bully had not been touched. ''Co
on home, Yellow!' he cried out again. And
then to the gang, Come on, fellers! Let's
go!''
The game was begun again without the
brown-haired Cowboy.
He looked desolately on for a minute or
two, then turned and moved slowly away,
following the frothing white line of the seas
edge, sadness in his dropping figure, bewil-
derment still on his sensitive face.
watched him 60. felt profoundly sorry
for him. 1t was as if had just watched the
stoning of prophet.
He grew smaller in the distance. Still his
words stayed with me.
''But / like you"
Tits long way from mountain in Calilee
Il to the beach at Malibu and today's
world, yet that brown-haired boy, standing
there on the sand, answering his young
tormentors with an earnest declaration of his
affection for them, vividly brought back to
me those dramatic, revolutionary words,
'But | say unto you, love your enemies go"
He disappeared from my view around a
wide sweep of the shore.
What would the years do to the little
Cowboy? Could he go on saying to his
enemies, ''But like YOU? Could it ever be

one day be saint?
