Clinton News-Record, 1946-12-19, Page 3THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1.946. 0.LINTON NEWSaRECORIe The Birthday Of Our Lord By "PEG"' We, who have t1.11Y *eagles ef Christ at all in our hearts cermet think of this season 'without our minde travelliriy back to the scene so beatutifully &seethed M the sec- ond chapter of the gospel according to Saint Luke, Where we are told of Joseph and ilVfary. According to the cotrunand of Caesar Augustus leaving their h,ome in Nazareth and travelling, as eaeily as possible on amount of the condition of Mary, to Bethlehem of Judaea. There they were to be taxed. "And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomp- lished that .she should be delivered". Wilda were they to go, for it was necessary that they should find a place immediately? We can imagine them going from place to place seek- ing shelter. They evidently travelled in a party, as they pratically all did in those days for safety, but Mary was likele not able to journey as fast as the others, and when they reached their destinatioe there was no place see them. We wonder why some ef the people teen their own teem did not under the circumstances offer to give them the, place which they had see,red, but eviler:0y self ishneas reigrecl M those olden times jtisr as it does toT-clay. Joseph may have had his doubts but Mary wee quite confident that her unborn son. would be safe, for the angel who had told her of his eoming so intimated. . .Finally when they were refused entrance to the Inn they were glad to find some kind of accommodation in the stable and there amid the oxen and the cattle the Saviour of the World was born. We can imagine the shadows of the different arihnals being cast on the wall, could any- thing he more humble? The then known world was expecting the King of the Jaws to come but they would have scoffed at the very idea of him arriving in the form of a babe and more so of him being born in a stable. However God had His own way of planning and so our Saviour were the little babe who on that great day 1.41,1,••••••••••••0. • was born in a stable with His only companions the cattle. Was it any wonder that Cheese took such an in- terest in the common people of the world? We have the Christmas Season be- ginning with a babe, a small atorn of humanity. That babe was divine as well as human. So often God begins things in a very small way. The people thought that the ruler of the world would come from the ranks of men who had aehetved pop- ulanity. They visualized hi coming to power with a great demonstration such as we have in these times when some noted man is elected to the head of a government such as ire the ease of the recent President of Mex- ico when people on land, in aircraft and on board ships of all kinds paid him homage, God could have sent His Son in such a way, but Ile chosb to announce His coming by a. single brilliant star and an angel proclam- nig to the frightened eliepherds that the Saviour of the World was horn. We can not in anyway irna,gme the wonderful sight When a host of angels joined the first messenger saying "Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will to- wards men" As soon as the angelsdeputed the shepherds said to one another "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to ,pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us". Let as go with them and look into that cave vrhich served as a stable. The only light is a flickering torch whieh throws Die shadows of the cattle on the walls • and the only sound is the crunching of the oxen as they eat their hay. Inethe midst of it all there is the proud Mother. Their woneee grew as they beheld Joseph and Mary and the child. They then went away and told to their fellow country men all that they had seen, They could not look far into the future, but had they known that centuries and centuries later the greater part of the world would to some extent observe the Birthday of The remodeled CLINTON LIONS ARENA soon mill be opened for skating SEASON'S TICKETS are available at F.

Carter took charge of theDevotions, Mrs. Carter read a message from the that Babe they would have been amazed. Thirty-three years later that Babe grown to manhood, after three Years In "active ministry for His .Heavenly Father, paid for our salvation by a cruel death on the cross. Jesus did not come into a world of peace nor have we had absolute peace since that time. We could have peace if we only would. Christ is the King of Peace. A cartoon in a recent edition of a paper shows the world as a man. On different parts of his facie there are patches tovering battle SC9SS, He is standing on a sea .shore with a lant- ern in hi% up stretched hand. The notation around the lantern is "spirit oe compromise," From his pocket there is hanging a paper with the words "Worlds 'common search for lasting peace." The name of the picture is "Guiding Light." What will bning the peace to the world which should have come with the birth of Jesus Christ but the love of God and we will never have the "Spirit of Compromise" until each and every- one of us, leaders and the C0111111071, people, have that wonderfal spirit of love. 'Christ came to the world to bring the light of the gospel to us. if we believe in Christ then we will have the free salvation which He was• born and died to give us, What the sun in oar material world means to, US so Christ exemplifies •In our spir- itual world.

The question of the day is "what do you want for Christmas?" The niost wonderful gift we tan give to others is to speak to them in such a way that they will want to give their lives to Christ. If we are followers of His we will find it easy to speak for Him, He did o greet deal for us and why should we not in some way try to brings others to Him. Then speaking of Christmas gifts, the greatest gift we can give at this season 01' any time is just to .Oresent our life to our Saviour and tell Him we want to believe on Him and serve Him for the rest ot our days and to us He will give the promise of Ever- lasting life in the realm over which Ile rules in love. May the Christ of the Christmas Season Devell in your heart to -day, May He give you joy and comfort As you travel aloeg the way May the light of the Star of Beth- lehem Shedding ita golden ray Brieg your soul a talm and a peace And drive your cares away. epee PSW SEEs�TAGE CRITIC AT lEd S VE EL CTRICITY!
