Today / wish to share with you
an intriguing little story aimed at
carrying your thinking more eff
fectively into the heart of much
that Christmas means. Several
years ago-SO the story runS-a
national association of Christian
workers scheduled a week of spe-
cial meetings to be held in a COM
munity of several thousand peo-
pie. Days before the opening ses-
sion a committee on housing so
licited the church people of that
area to lodge the visitors in their
homes. Among those whose com
ing was anticipated with consider
reputation for leadership and
learning was worldwide When
it became known that he would
honor the convention with his
preseIfce considerable rivalry was
engendered among the women as
to who should have the privilege
of entertaining this distinguished
guest. Finally it was decided that
he should stay in the home of the
most prominent family of the com
munity
On the night before the opening
of the conference, at very late
hour, this homes door bell rang.
Upon opening the door the good
woman of the house looked into
the face of a very plainly dressed
old man who explained that he
had been assigned to find lodgings
at this address. The lady replied
rather sharply that she had no
room other than for the man she
had promised to entertain. Seeing
the disappointment written rather
plainly upon the old mans face,
she directed him to a house across
the street knowing that they, too,
were planning to house conference
guests Going there he was re-
buffed again and as there was no
hotel in this area he returned to
the waiting room of the railroad
station and spent the night there.
Imagine the deep chagrin of the
prominent woman and her neigh
Dor when they learned the next
day that they had turned away the
very man they had desired to hon
or
A situation quite parallel to this
forms an integral part of the
Christmas story This leads me
to observe that if the innkeeper

known that the great event which

take place that night of all nights

Sermon by the Pastor. Sermon top
ic: What the Wise Men saw in the
Cradle" The sad commentary on
our day is that there are those who
are not certain what they saw.
Just a baby that would grow as
others did and one day give his
life for the ideals he believed and
taught" they said. One is reminded
of the words of Christ to the
Pharisees concerning one of the
greatest men who ever lived, What
went We out to see, a man clothed
IN soft ra1ment, a reed shaken in
the wind" What is needed today
is a fearless presentation of Gods
Word that men may know what to
believe and why they believe it.
The Evangelical Methodist Church
is dedicated to these purposes.
7:30 P. M. Evening Service. Ser
mon by the Pastor; The morning
service is given to the teaching
ministry and usually the type of
message is expository The even
ing service is evangelistic in ma
ture with special singing. The pas
tor will be using as his theme
What God saw from the cradle.
7:30 P. M. Wednesday Mid
week prayer meeting. This is our
mid-week service and we are en-
couraged by the good number who
come and participate in this i'm
portant service. We are using the
letter of Paul to the Ephesians as
our Bible study. Following the
Bible Study we have our Class
Meeting led by our Glass Leader
Edgar Bennett.

Christmas
It's Christmas time once more.
Time for lights and the holly on
the door;
Children are thinking of the gifts
Santa will bring,
Bells will chime and carolers will
sing.
What a joyful event and lots of
money spent,
Busy people everywhere, rushing
and pushing and showing,
Preparing for their Christmas
cheer
Everything is ready at last, but
there is something missing,
We've forgotten the past, for it
was on this holy night the Christ
child was born.
He lay in a manger in clothes
tattered and torn,
There were no colOred lights, not
even a tree;
But there was a bright star for
the whole world to see,
This child was Gods gift to all of
us,
A symbol of joy and love.

Christmas Spirit Serious Business.
A Merry Christmas to you.
Carols, trees, gifts to children and
family reunions all have their need
full places in these anxious times.
Yet, as Christians, we must go
deeper and center our rejoicing
in Gods goodness in coming to
share our life in Christ. Let us
have fun-but let it be Christian
fun. For happiness is not as import
ant-or as permanent-as joy. God
liness and gaiety go together and
family reunion is only complete
at the altar.
Growing up as Christians is
largely a matter of appreciating
the fundamentals of Christmas
more than its superficialities. | do
not want to abolish all its folk
customs but to put them in their
place.
Christmas is serious business. 1t
reminds us that God was SO con-
cerned about this world that He
came to share it. We must catch"
His concern and once again with
His son share the worlds lot and
share in His saving work. For
Christ seeks to live in the world
today through us the members of
His Body the Church. The Christ
mas spirit is the spirit of out go
ing service and complete self Civ
ing 1t is the missionary spirit, con-
tinuing the mission God launched
in a Bethlehem stable.
