angelic choir, peace on earth, good will
to men,"
Today we divide the history of the
world at the birth of Jesus. Today people
in every nation rejoice because the out
look for humanity grows brighter and
brighter since Deity became human
through a miraculous birth in Bethlehem
1000 years ago. 1t is indeed fortunate that
Christmas has become the most univer-
sally observed festival among mankind.
Above the carols, the greetings and the
outburstS of elated children the ancient
messianic promise still comes through:
Fear not; | bring glad tidings of great
Joy TO all people.
Unto you is born this day a Savior"
1t is u hope that the Yuletide season
IN all It's beauty and glory will bring hap
plneSS and Peace.

Today the world commemorate the
birth of a Baby whose arrival was herald
ed by an angel chorus and a moving star.
We pause in wonder and gratitude be-
cause what took place at Bethlehem was
the most significant event in the history
of the universe.
Nearly 1000 years have passed since
the Heavenly Choir sang of peace on
earth and good will toward men,. Yet
the divine message brought by the angels
is not forgotten and is still lifting man
kind to new heights of hope and achieve
ment. Today we realize anew that the
birth at Bethlehem and its divine mean
ing are more real than the sun overhead
or the earth underneath.
Although long prophesied the arrival
The Sidney herald., 1963-12-25

OF the Savior was met with skepticism
and even scorn. Mans small and cynical
min could not comprehend the willing
ness of the Worlds Creator to subject his
Son to a lowly stable birth in a hillside
village. Since the Christmas event has
no precedent and no counterpart, our
faith is still taxed to accept the gift of a
Savior for whose sacrifice man is un-
worthy.
Study the scriptures covering mans
relationship with God since ancient times
we find no reason for assuming that
Gods intimate and long-suffering pa
tience might sacrifice His only Son
in behalf of all people including the re-
bellious hordes who deny His very exis-
tence.
Vexed by a wicked generation, God
covered the entire earth with flood wa

through a pillar of fire. 1t is interesting
to note that of the ten commandments
nine represent negative admonitions. In
laying down these laws to His chosen
Hebrews, Jehovah showed little sign of
patience or mercy.
The Christmas miracle is different
just as the love of Jesus differs from the
law of Moses. The gift of His Son, al
though mystifying, is living proof that
God cares enough for man to enter
human life at its lowest level. Christ
mas is a dramatic and abiding symbol of
Gods reliance on the power of love.
rather than vengeance, to save mankind.
Out of the cold, drab Bethlehem man
ger came a new and positive warmth to
humanity. Thus, the hope of the ages
had its realization when the Bethlehem
hills echoed the immortal promise of the

tiers. Forty days and forty nights of rain
destroyed every living soul except the
eight individuals permitted to enter
Noah's ark.
To protect His faithful Hebrew fol-
lowers and to identify Himself as the
One God, He sent frightful plaques into
Egypt. Locusts, lice, frogs, nail storms
and body sores tortured the arrogant
Pharaoh and his rivers were turned to
blood. To bring Pharaoh to his knees,
Jehovah finally slew the firstborn in
every Egyptian family.
Sodom and Gomorrah were turned into
ashes along with all their lascivious in
habitants. To this day the destruction of
these cities is used as an example of
what can happen to the wicked.
To deliver His stern commandments,

The State Department officials told Sen. Bartlett they do not re- gard the delay in answering as a "stalling" tactic on the part of the Soviet government. These things take time," they said.
 Tt may or may not be significant that no incidents have been re, ported since day or two after the protest was entered, Bartlett said, q hope it is. If so, it would indi- cate these Russian fishermen were acting on their own and as soon as word had been flashed to Moscow of the stern American attitude that instructions had gone out to the Soviet fishing fleet.

 On Crab Protest

The US. State Department has not yet received reply to the pro test filed with the Soviet embassy in Washington following com plaints made by Alaska fishermen that Soviet trawlers were destroy ing their crab fishing gear.

q have no doubt that crab pots valued at many thousands of dol lars owned by Alaska fishermen operating out of Kodiak were need lessly and wantonly destroyed by these big Russian ships. Actually it is difficult to assess the true damage because fishing time lost would be much more important even than the value of the pot.
 I am still hopeful that a satisfac- tory answer will be made by Mos COW and that these depredations will cease" Bartlett said.
