In last week's report, of the Presbyterian Church report, the name of the President — Mrs. Gordon Schwalm was omitted. • "e,Aer>pov.Ina:aWl: This is the one time of the year when 1 take the liberty to expound on my spiritual feelings about Christmaa but this year, I'm more cautious than usual, The reason for my extra concern may be the fact that for the past two or three weeks at our office, we've been having discussions about the Christ Child, the $on of God, and His relationship to this whole question of faith. And believe rne, there are many more people who would discredit my belief than accept it! Everybody Wants to have proof. Everybody wants to be shown that God is really and truly there; that Jesus was not only • His Son but God Himself; that the Holy Spirit is God, the Comforter. Everybody wants conclusive evidence that Mary was a Virgin and that she and Joseph (or worse yet, some other fellow) hadn't been indulging in a little pre-marital hanky-panky under the olive trees. Everybody wants an iron-clad guarantee that if they accept this cock-and-bull story about faith being the prime requisite for eternal life, they will be rewarded not only in heaven but on earth as well. And the pity of it all is that there is no simple and visible method by which to prove the existence of God. What's more, the 'way of Christ isn't always the easiest. It doesn't even necessarily pay dividends like a life insurance policy in your old age, unless, of course, you count peace of mind as a treasure. How do you explain faith? I don't know....but the older I grow and the more I see, I'm beginning to realize that faith is really and truly a Gift of God that is not readily acceptable to everyone. And that's why I glow with an inner pride when people say to me, "I envy those people who have a firm faith." Not long ago a woman came to me. Her request was straight forward. • "I know you are a Christian," she began. "I want to be one too. Can you tell me how?" "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ," I answered, "and you shall be saved." "Is that all?" she asked. ,,,,"That's it," I told her. , And then „the.. ;guestians s ),tar ter] to pour out. They were full of doubts. Where is God? How do we know Christ was who He said He was? Why does God allow terrible things to go on - like wars and famines and murdering and looting - if He is really God and really alive? Isn't there something we must DO to earn salvation? "Believing in Christ means putting your full trust in Him for everything," I replied, feeling the frustration she must be experiencing at those words. "No, there's nothing you can do. It was all done for you when Christ died on the cross. Simply believe He's your Saviour." My heart ached for that woman. I couldn't give her the if ANSTIBIT instant hope she had expected, Maybe if I'd been able to tell her that if she wore sack cloth and ashes every Sunday for two years she'd be Christian, she would have gone away contented. Or maybe if I'd told her that God didn't love her and didn't want her in Fib Kingdom she.eould have accepted that. I'm not smug about this faith I have in Christ. I'm humbled, especially when I see all around me those who just cannot accept the Christ and the total impact of His coming. And that's why Christmas bears such a tremendously joyous message for me, I'm reminded that Christ came into the world to do for me what I couldn't do for myself, And I thank God that I can believe that, for there really is a "peace that passeth all. understanding" when you've accepted The Christ-Child as your Saviour. A Blessed Christmas to all. tz4citetti e'll;;;;;ZiesAys HAPPY, HOLIDAYS! May they ring merrily for you! SALES & SERVICE "We Service What We Sell" 267 VICTORIA ST. HWY. No. 4. S.
