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! • Sunday, Dec.1* GUEST SPEAKER Re .

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 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, • • "ft..* • • ••••• •••••- • • . . • •••• • • • • • • -ft...., • • Benmiller, United Church SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1975 1:30P.M.
