Come join with us in this special service. What Christmas Means to Me. Christmas is not the items in a store window, nor the many things about us. Christmas is a Spirit that possesses us. It is good will in the heart that reaches out to others. The good will issues into joy. The angels said, “Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy — Glory to God in the highest. Goal is good will and peace among all men. If we follow this it renews and. restores our confidence. If this spirit of good will is all about it makes it easy to believe. This renews the home life and fans grasses into flame, the kindler peace, joy, and good will. Shall we make it a Christmas of good will and be challenged to do our best? Author Unknown St. Anthony’s Inn, a Roman Catholic-sponsored rehibiltation house for ex-prisoners, was dedicated in Chicago recently. “World Neighbors has involved itself since its founding in 1952 in helping over three million people learn how to help themselves,” comments Dr. John L. Peters, president of the organization which has headquarters in Oklahoma City. Gen. Eisenhower expressed the desire for a prayer room in the Eisenhower Center, Abilene, Kans., to members of the Eisenhower Library Commission at a recent meeting. He said he would like to see a meditation room built as a part of the center where men could pause “to consider ttjeir future and their Creator.’’ Gen. Eisenhower emphasized that “We need a time frequently when we think about something besides a dollar or a nickel or another cigarette.” Jackie Robinson, first Negro player in big league professional baseball, received the Churchmanship Award from the United Church of Christ’s Council for Christian Social Action in Denver, for his efforts, as a Christion, in behalf of racial equality. The former Brooklyn Dodgers star was cited for his “serene courage in the face of racial discrimination” and for his “Christian commitment of time, energy, and skill in the struggle for social justice.” A storefront “Welcome Center” has been opened for American Indians in the Los Angeles area as a pilot project by the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A, to reach Indians moving into the country’s major cities. It includes a lounge, coffee bar and canteen, hobbies, movies, and newspapers and magazines from reservations which provide most of the city’s growing Indian population. Volunteed workers at the center, most of them Indians, will inform newcomers abolt Los Angeles churches, employment opportunities, welfare and housing agencies, and other services. The center is not designed to serve as a church, but it is hoped that through its aid Indians will find a church of their own.

THE BETTER WAY The Evolution of Horsepower We live in a power age. One of the measurements of power is the term “horsepower." Yet how far have we advanced beyond horsepower, or even simple and primitive forms of power which meant a great deal to the world a hundred years ago. Steam motive power and electricity gave us a new industrial age. Then came the internal combustion engine. Now we have rockets and atomicpowered engines. What this will reach up to during the next few decades no one can tell. But we have in the past fifty years released and utilized ‘ more sources of power than the human race has known anything about during the whole of its history. All this is power in the physical realm. There is also mental power, manifesting itself in human achievements. There is spiritual power. We get spiritual power when we - open our hearts to receive it. We keep spiritual power by the discipline of prayer, scripture reading, meditation, and good works. Nothing enables us so to keep an<|/develop spiritual power as the attempt day after day to live a life of helpful service. The universe is full of power, all at our disposal. It comes to those whose hearts and minds are ready to receive and use it. DO YOU KNOW ANSWERED 1. Hebrews 3:4 2. Psalm 23 6 3 Ecclesiastes 11:1 * 4. James 3:16. 5.
