FROM THE MINIVTIUS STUDY
BY CAPT. GRACE HERBER
SALVATION AR1VN,
We are drawing very close
to ChriStmas now and
everyone is out doing the
Christmas shopping with the
buying of presents and
We Christians have much to
celebrate especially at this
time of the year when we can
verify the fact that we have
the forgiveness of sin and the
joy of the Lord within .„ let us
decorations for the tree and
house. And we hear the share this information with
singing of carols on the radio„.others who may not know this,
we also hear the appeal for
help in giving others a happy
Christmas too.
But let us slow down for a
moment and take time to
ponder what Christmas is all
al?out. What is the Christmas
Spirit.??
It is not only the singing of
carols or the giving of gifts
or wishing well .to others
that we may not see very
often this is but a small
• part of Christmas. Christmas
is the celebration of the birth
of Christ.
We all may be able to think
about the birth of Christ so
many centuries ago ... but
what of the birth of Christ
within?
• •
•
•
Joy,
'For God so • loved the
world, that he gave his only
begotten. Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should' not
perish, but have everlasting
life.' John 3:16
'If' we confess our sins, he
(God) is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse. " us from all
unrighteousness.' I John 1:9
It is a very simple way to
the Lord ... take the time to
make sure 'and' be confident
that you have this experience
... and Christmas will mean
much more to you.
God bless you each and
may you have a joyour
Christmas!

The day the clock stopped
No one can be bright. and
scintilating all the time. We
have to have periods of rest
and silence. Like the trees
Who throw off their bright gay
colors in the fall to enter into
a long period of colorless
quiet until new life surges
through them again, so, we
too, • must have times set
apart for recuperation.
Recently, I had a week that
was particularly, fast -*aced.
Work had been stiornalating
but demanding, home duties
had been greater than usual:
The days were crammed to
capacity; sleep had been
scarce, and with feelings of
frustration I had had to
cancel out several com!
mitments previously
arranged.
By the end of the week, I
was weary beyond belief. As 1
crept to my bed I wag.- tem-
pted to wish for sleep that
would be uninterrupted for at
least two weeks, when the
busy-ness would be all over.
On opening my eyes the
following morning I Sas met
with one of those kind of grey,
pallid days when you can't
tell 'whether you've wakened
early or slept late, A glance at
the bedroom clock revealed it
had stopped in the middle of
tl•gie night. I checked my watch
but ,found I had forgotten to
wind it, too.
Getting up tolnake a cup of
coffee, it .was somewhat
disconcerting to see that the
hall and kitchen clocks, both
of Which are eight day clocks,
had run dow%. So there I was
with every time piece in the
house stopped. Of course I
could have turned on the
radio and had the time in a
few minutes but I didn't
because it struck nits forcibly
that it didn't matter. •
What a luxurious feeling!
After a hurried, hectic week 1
had this wonderful day when
time wasn'tsimportant.,There
were no deadlines to meet, no
.1
meetings to go to, no.dinner to
prepare.
Taking my coffee I
returned to bed, stretched
back against the pillows and
started to let the tension drain
out. •
1 reached for a book at my
bedside, picked up Jane
Scott's, 'Adventures with
God' and flicking through the
pages my eyes picked up a
quotation from Isaiah, ''In
returning (to God) ... shall ye
be saved; quietness and
confidence shall be yOur
strength„:' And there in the
quibtness- of my room 1
realized how much I needed a
'berrstill' day.
As Miss Scott says, "We
sometimes get the, mistaken
notion there is something
wrong with our ' faith if we
cannot rise and shine at all
times. But such is not -the
case. Even Jesus fell, asleep
in the boat .and because he
was human I think it's safe to
assume he looked like any
other worn out man who falls
asleep."
She goes"' on to suggest
Jesus knew how utterly
fatigued these human bodies
of ours can become when, he
showed sympathy to his
disciples who :could 'no,t
watch one hour'. "The spirit..
is ,,willing but the body is
weak,- he Said.

he said to his disciples -
"Come ye yourselves apart
into a desert place and rest
awhile." He knew the
necessity of getting away
from the crowds and of being
alone with God in a quiet
place where one can regain
equilibrium and spiritual
strength,.
We need to keep on learning
this to combat the confusion
of our age. We still need to
hear his voice saying, "Cope
unto me, and ye shall find rest.
for your souls.'" We.need it as
never before.
We have to make a con-
scious effort to shut out. the
blaring sounds and c'ut down
our , pace and build up our
confidente in God if we hope
to maintain our sanity and
physical health. •
It's not necessary to have
all clocks in the house stop
to remind us.of this but we do
desperately need quiet
moments, to bring us new
courage and new strength.
We, need to get alone with
God,
