Crawford in the pulpit...the sermon title was - "No Room for Christ' with text: "Because there was no room in the Inn" from Luke 2:7. Very few people were aware of the Birth of the Christ Child - the Messiah! his mother Mary and Joseph his Father - Elizabeth - Mary's cousin and a few Jewish Shepherds. The Priesthood - in the great Jewish Church in Jerusalem - did not know about His Birth until the wise men from the East inform- ed them. The Inn was so crowded that there was no room so they had to go to the stable. There was a 'No Vacancy" sign outside that night. Many to-day have this "No Vacancy' sign in their hearts - they have no time to entertain the Creator and the Saviour! Organ music - Rev. Dr. Crawford.
