To whom has the manger scene not ' endeared itself? And yet it is not the Whole, any more than the foundation constitutes the whole of the Empire State building. No, to leave Christ in the Christmas context, however 11* beautiful, is to appraise the blossom 8r greater value than the fruit. He Who .said I, am the Way, was incarnated in humanity, born into the family of .Adam ' the first, to• taste of death for • every man, as our substitute. V Having lived a life in absolute accord with the Law, as no other man subjected to the weakness '-through multi temptations, ever did, and being the "Lamb of God that ta,keth away the sins of • the world," the ordeal of the cross loomed before Him; but not without ,a Gethsemane experience. 0 "The third day I will be perfected," said Jesus, because perfection while bound up in the '4 Old Adam, and fallen flesh, was impossible, even for Him, He must- needs lay off this " humanity, Oh' how the Old Adam writhes thus we see the triumph of the Will over the flesh was won in Bethsemane, thus could he say, in triumph, *f "No man taketh my life from me but I lay it down of myself." Therefore with Christ as our great Exemplar, we see that the day we -were "born from above," was -our personal Christmas, obscurely, to be sure, no fan -fare 41 attending the occasion by ,the world, in fact the issue is 'as obscure as Christs birth, and where it is a genuine experience, .the attitude of the world, extends from a puzzled, cold indifference, to outright hostility. Are there no Herod's • or contemporaries -in our world unto the world, and the world unto ine," fits yo_ur case perfectly.- At this point again we can say with our Lord, no man taketh my life (sensual life) from me, but I lay it down of myself. But he did 'not leave us at the;. Cross either, as a large segment of Christianity has, but "laid it . down that He might take it again; and on that , grand resurrection moriling He did. Likewise, the sacrifice of life that our adarnic natures: lust after buried like the "grain of what" will absolutely spring forth in a new abundant life, no longer clammering after the weak and beggarly elements. of this world, but hensefQrth, "seeking those things which are abt ve:" As once again we celebrate Christm •may it 'be an occasion of true adoration, sensed in a new and living way, as that, known only by those who can say, I know, because I have been there. Thus may , the Light that guided the 'se men, guide you all thro every crisis, until the treasury ' of your life- has been presente wholly to Him. A very Merry Christmas to All Two faces Godeiich residents. may be seeing around `town in the near future belong to two young missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, better known as the Mormon Church: The men, Elder Dennis Frie, left, and Elder Bart Hess, will be.'returning visits made by local people to the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City and to booths at Exposition in various areas of the world. They also will be making calls on people in their h6mes -with* information concerning their church. Information articles on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be carried Ili the Goderich Signal -Star as an interest to our readers as the articles become available. The missionary work of the Mormon Church is carried out by young people on a voluntary basis for two years during which time they receive no pay and no financial support. Anyone wishing to contact the two men may reach them in London at .1624 Haig Street or by telephoning 451-9139.
