with exceeding great joy Matthew 2310 The Star that By REVEREND H W Interim Moderator St Andrews Presbyterian Church Recently I read about an incident Involving a He was taking part in a Christmas play which pcrtraying the story of Jesus birth He hat only line to say namely Behold I bring you tidings When rehearsing the line with his mother he stepped to asked her what tidings meant She explained that it good news- The day came for the play to be performed but the sixyearold boy forgot his line then suddenly ho remembered and blurted out very excitedly Hey Ive got news for you That really is the Story of Christmas God has news for She world And it is good news of reconciliation God was in Christ reconciling the world Himself When two persons or groups are to be reconciled one of them must take the initiative and is always a wonderful thing when the injured party takes it This Gcd did in Christ He was the first to toward man with the offer of forgiveness in Jesus Chri The Shepherd out on the mountains seeks sheep that was last the woman sweeps the house for the coin which she could not find The recon ciliation between God and man has been accomplished by us Christ individual men have only to In t begin to live hearts and rules t lives t Jesus between man and man This involves hard work and Christmas 1968 is no exception One has only lo mention the name of Biafra or refer to he recent scenes of disruption between students and administration at some universities to face up to the truth that reconciliation overflowing audience which included 60 delegates from the Newmarket congrega tion of Jehovahs Witnesses that love has marked Gods dealings with man He stated that even though man has rejected God He has provided man with a happy everlasting future

in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men Luke 21314 Since the angelic chorus brought glad tid ings of great joy to shep herds watching in the fields hymns and carols of rejoic ing have told of the wonder and glory of Christmas That the words of the angels composed the first of all Christmas carols is a thought repeated again and again in favorite songs and neighbor is needed ts birth we must ever be conscious of His call to us to share news that He loves this world Not only in faraway Biafra which really is very near in this global village in which we live but right on your street there Is hard work to be done so hat reconciliation between people is not just a nicesounding phrase but a real experience We and the world dare not become too busy doing unim portant things or too noisy praising ourselves for things well done we might miss hearing the good news Edmund H Sears writing in the Jast century perhaps did not realize how meaningful and uptodate his words would be
