cause of Jesus the child. His coming I hallowed childhood ! and motherhood for all time. But Jesus : did not stay a baby ! He was born not i Chiefly in order to bo cuddled in a ' mother’ s arms. He * was bom to be a i King; he was born to grow, to teach.

to command, to save. Where is the festival that presents him King of Kings and Lord of Lords? There are such, but they never had the popularity of Christinas. • ■ • * Bethlehem Was a Beginning IN Innumerable pictures and statues the mother of Christ looms large, the baby small. In the Bible it is the other way around. The interest of the Bible Is not centered at Bethlehem, important as that place was in the history of the world. The songs which only Luke has saved for us all point far beyond the manger-child. Bethlehem marked the great moment, to be sure, the miracle of miracles when God became man. But that was the beginning, only the beginning. Two of the Gospels fail to mention the first Christmas at all. The two that do mention Jesus’ childhood leave it after a few short paragraphs. If anything is certain about what the writers of the New Testament thought, it is certain that when they thought of Jesus Christ, they seL dom, if ever thought of him as a baby. The little Jesus is a helpless child, depending on the care of his mother. He is sweet and appealing, and every one loves him . . . But he only lies there perpetually smiling. We like babies, but we have our grown-up affairs to attend to. We think babies are “cute”, but we take no orders from, we do not try to be like them. We cuddle them and talk baby-talk to them, but when we get ready to talk sense, when we are in any kind of trouble, when we need some one to tell us what to do, we never talk to babies. • * • The Power of God SO, if Christ is to mean to us all what he should, it is time we got into the Bible’s way of looking at him. He is called the “fulfilment of prophecy”. What does that mean? The great prophets looked forward to a coming king, a “Messiah”; he must begin life as a child, because he would be a human being, not an angel. If our thinking stops with the babe in the manger, we shall never realize the tremendous truth about Jesus. Consider the words that Isaiah used (Isa. 9:6,7): "Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” These are grown-up words, more than grown-up. They point to something super-human, something coming into this world, as the Bible puts it, “from above ’ The Christ of the Prophets is a person who will “rule the nations”. The Christ of the apostles is likewise no child. He is the man sent from heaven; he Is the “power of God and the wisdom of God” (I Cor. 1:24). He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. A baby lets us do as we please; but not the Lord of Lords. He challenges the world—from a throne, not a cradle. What he thinks, we desperately must know. What his will is, we must learn or perish. If the world is going to pieces today it is because we think no more of Jesus than of any other picturesque infant. • • * The Christ Who Commands r' is said often, as a kind of slogan, that "Christ is the answer”. If this means anything 'true, and it does, it means that the ways of the world are right ways only when they are the ways of Jesus. Thinking, planning, acting—personal and social living both—it is either as Jesus would have It or it is headed for a crash. This is not to say that the commands of Christ are arbitrary, “just because . . .” .Faith in him is the gateway to life, following him is life. A sentimental glow as we pass the manger at Bethlehem is not what Christianity means. It means saying as Paul did: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? A Christ who can be patronized or pitied is no answer the only answer is the Christ who commands. jCwrlgM 155 Jby the Dlvlaiaa •!

Girl Scout Committee Holds Christmas Party A Christmas Party was held by the Girl Scout committee, at the home of Mrs. Gerald Kline on Thursday night. Mrs. Hubert Anglemeyer, Mrs. Robert Clevenger, Mrs. R. H. Brewster, Mrs. Stanley Peters and Mrs. Samuel Larson were those present. Mrs. John Pusti was unable to be there because of sickness. Decorations of two large Christmas Dolls, “Kline-made”, which held court on the grand piano, in their crinoline red and white beauty, the large tree which shone its carl-colors thru the picture window onto Syracuse Lake, and clever arrangements of Christmas greenery, made a delightful party atmosphere for the first social affair the Girl Scout committee has held in two years. Janet Lee Riley hurried the ladies towards their small gift exchange, for she wished to play Santa Claus, before her bedtime. Betty Kline had made clever Santa Clauses with apples, marshmallows, cloves, gumdrops, and toothpicks, which she presented as take home souvenirs.

WHEN THE PEOPLE KNOW Even the top political backers of the Administration’s compulsory health insurance bill admit that it has no chance of gaining Congressional approval—or even serious consideration — in the near future. And the reason is that once the public was gifen the facts, sentiment among the rank-and-file of Americans solidified against government-control-led medicine, socialized medicine, or any variant scheme. The medical fraternity naturally led in the campaign to tell the nation the facts. Thousands of other groups — including civic organizations, labor unions, veterans’ organizations, and so on—voluntarily cooperated. The failure of socialized medicine plans in England and other countries was described by recognized authorities on the subject. The truth about standards of health and medical care in this country was widely publicized. The tremendous achievements of free American medicine, existing and potential, were explained. All concerned frankly said that more progress is needed, and pointed out how free medicine is going about the job of achieving it. Os necessity, work of this kind must continue — the proponents of compulsory health insurance and kindred ideas never give up. If and when it looks as if they might slip their scheme over on the country, they’ll be right in there pishing. But the big point is that w-hen the American people recognized! 'the seeds of socialism, they turn thumbs down. They know that this country was built on freedom —for the individual, for the professions, for labor, and for enterprise.
