t THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE THERE HAS BEEN so much commercialism of Christmas and so much dilution of the meaning of' Christmas that it is time to take a look at the original. - St Luke in chapter 2, verses 1-11, tells the story eloquently as follows: “And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyre-1 nius was governor of Syria). “And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth unto Judea unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem: (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife being great with child. “And so it was that while they were there the days were accomplished that she Should be delivered. “And she brought forth her first i born son and wrapped him in swad-1 dling clothes and laid him in a man- I ager; because there was no room for them in the inn. “And there were in the same * country shepherds abiding in the j field keeping watch over their flock by night “And 10. the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shown ’round about them; I and they were sore afraid. I “And the angel said unto them, ’fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall j be to all people. “For unto you is bom this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”. Some years ago an article was < printed in the Reader’s Digest that has long been my favorite. I It is entitled “One Solitary Life” k l and the author is unknown. Before me are three corrupted or changed i versions of this beautiful piece of . writing. The Reader s Digest editors made exhaustive research to try to find who actually wrote the piece, and the truth could not be established. < Herewith, is the correct version of this beautiful article “One Solitary Life”. “Here is a young man who was ‘ bom in an obscure village, the child , of a peasant woman. “He grew up in another village. 1 He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty, and then for three j years he was an itinerant preacher. ! “He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put his foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was bom. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but him-

self. While he was still a young man the tide of public opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. IHe was turned over to his enemies. I “He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While he was dying his executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on i earth, his coat. I “When he was dead he was laid in ‘a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. I “Nineteen centuries wide have J come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the human race and the leader of the column of i progress. I “I am far within the mark when I say all the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned put together have not asRUDOLPH OF RED NOSE ADDS TO FAME OF SANTA’S REINDEER i “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!” Here, just as Santa said them, are the names of the “eight tiny reindeer” who drew his “miniature sleigh”, according to Clement C. Moore in his poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas”. | But. since Moore wrote his poem in 1823, Santa must have added some new reindeer. It’s certain that he has at least one famous sleigh-puller ‘ not mentioned in the poem—the rednosed Rudolph. I Rudolph made his first public appearance in 1939, in the song, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, with words and music by Johnny Marks. The story of Rudolph, whose red nose made him first a joke and then j a hero, seems to have the indefinable appeal that makes a Yuletide tradition. As the other reindeer in the song predicted, when Rudolph’s red nose led the team through a dark, overcast Christmas Eve. it seems likely he’ll go down in Yuletide his-I I tory, a permanent part of the legend ■ and lore of Santa Claus. • I .— ! MISSION CIRCLE MEETS WITH MRS. KOBLE I The Syracuse Church of God Mission Circle met at the home of Mrs. Joseph Koble on Thursday, Dec. 17. There were 13 adults and eight children present. Mrs. Carroll Koble returned thanks after which the group enjoyed a potluck dinner. Mrs Oliver Hibschlman. the president, had charge of the business meeting. After singing, [“Silent Night”, Mrs. Jack Elam gave the devotions and led in prayer. i Mrs. Oliver Hibschman read a poem on Christmas. After the business session, Mrs. Wilmer Frederick dismissed with prayer. The children sang three songs, “Roll The Gospel Chariot”, “Yes, Jesus Loves Me”, and "Tliere’s a Fountain Flowing Deep and Wide”. A Christmas gift exchange was held. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Carl Hadley on January 21.
