And Hearts Of Mankind By LOYAL PHILLIPS Publisher St Petersburg Florida Independent Remarkable things are happening around the world today as the result oi the birth of child in manger 2000 years ago On New Yorks Filth Avenue and on Londons Regent Street there are trai fic Jams as million eager shoppers crowd the sidewalks and stores In Brazil in Germany and Canada carolers sing the same lyrics and the same timeless tunes although in dil Xerent languages Special weekday church services are held In most of the great cities through out the world Multimilllons of gay lights illumin ate the lawns and windows on every continent Billions of dollarshave been spent tor gifts for young and old of all races Our great iactorles are closed today but our hearts are open in spirit oi friendliness to our neighbors and indeed toward all people All these earthshaking developments represent the outpouring of brotherly love and no human being is entirely immune There is of course divine reason for these phenomenal occurrences and tor the explanation we must do 2000 year flashback to quiet little village in the Near East There at Bethlehem was born to peasant maiden Messiah who has changed the course or history In accordance with centuries of pro phecy the virgin Mary brought iorth in Judean cave the promised Savior of man His permanent influence on mankind ls due only in part to His divine con ception He has held the minds and hearts of mankind also because His teachings and His ilie exemplified spirit of goodwill and philosophy by which men can live together on earth and then find eternal life beyond the veil Plainly the divine birth oi Jesus and His resurrection were the most signif icantrevents since the creation For The Barrie Examiner Authorised second class imii Past

Christians in their gratitude drop their worka day cares to reilect on the miraculous gift or Redeemer Fortunately lor the world the pro mised Messiah was destined to be or more than the Oriental monarch ior which his contemporaries hoped For His mission unlike Abrahams or Sol omons or Mohammeds or Socrates was to redeem mankind to alter Himself as divinely conceived vehicle to raise each individual to aposition of spiritual importance The Christmas story enables man once more to stand as the child not simply the creature oi God For the believer Christmas is day of hope However its invisible inllu once is felt by everyone the rich and the poor the mighty and the humble the believer and the nonbeliever In this age of tyranny distrust and hunger man must have hope The message or Christmas is one of hope in the lace oi multitude of problems which at times seem hopeless of solu Yet the hope that came to the world through the manger has carried generation after generation to greater heights of aspiration and achievement And the star symbol which led the wise men burns just as brightly today for those who lift their eyes above the tinsel and turn toward Eethiehem Most of all the Christmas story is story love love so compassionate and so winsome as to elevate mankind for an interval from selfish ambitions to an atmosphere or love and kindness Since the dawn of history nations have wrangled and fought and evaded the creed oi brotherly love proponnded by the Son of God Yet all the laws and treaties written these 2000 years would have been unnecessary had men girded themselves with goodwill and followed the simple rules of the gentle Nazarene The earthly voice of the One whose birth we commemorate has long been stilied by the sort winds of time But His spirit is with us today to transform worries and greed into the love and goodwill about which the angels sang Christmas is the feast of love and the faraway rumblings of our troubles are muted on this holiest of all days For unto you thisday Savior Is born ParagrephicallyeSpeaking Adam was created before Eve to give him chance to say something says paragrapher Say something to whom Insteado being their age as they should many oldsters make the ser ious mistake of trying to be the age they wish they were Girls who dance the naughty Twist Should be scorned and also hissed THE LIBRARY Simplicity Is Feature
