C. "Far not. (or behold 1 bnng you good tidings of great joy. that shall be n> all the Jjeopie; for this day Is born ? you a Savior who is Christ the Lord." (St. Luke 2. 10-11. These words of the angel to the shepherds, we must never forget. They were spoken to ? all the people" and we must ever meditate on them. The spirit of Christian ]oy that we witness among men of good will at Christmas dme is the spirit that ought to live In us all continuously ? throughout the year, all our lives. Since the heavenly messenger brought us "good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people," we can be cer tain that Cod wants these good tidings to inspire the lives of all men at all times. The essence of the message is that th Savior who ;s Christ the Lord is born. And while Christmas Day is past, the spirit of Christmas must never pass In the life of a true follower of the Savior . Christmas Day merely In augurates the "good tidings of great joy." The Christian calendar has much more to tell us about the Live of the Savior that brings ? Joy To The World.' "And when eight days were fulfilled for His Circumcision, His Name was called Jesus, the name given Him by the angel before He was conceived in the womb." (St. Luke 2,^.) On the Christian Calendar, this eighth day tails on Jan uary 1st --- and it was with the Circumcision of Jesus, the day on which he officially received his name, that the years began to be numbered "In' the Year of the Lord" or A. D. When he was bom in Bethlehem, he was reveal ed to the chosen people of God, the Jews. When the Magi, or the Wise Men from the Hast, came to pay homage to the new born King, Jesus was revealed to the Gentile nations. Follow ing the Christian calendar, we sbserve this "revealing" of Himself to theGentlles onjan jary 6th. We call this theEpl jhany. Sometimes It Is refer red to as "Old Christmas" >r "Little Christmas." We -ead about the "Epiphany" in it. Matthew's gospel account Chapter 2, 1-12. There is much more to the ?Good Tidings of great joy." The Holy Bible ami theChrlst lan calendar cell at the flight loco Egypt, when the wicked King Herod sought to kill the new -bom King, killing all Che male children "two year* and under" In che providence at Bethlehem; che return of the Holy Family to Nazareth, where J esus lived until be was about thirty years of age (St. Luke 3.23); His encry Into public life and His public min istry; His msdeudon at the Holy Eucharist on Holy Thurs day; Hi), sufferings and death OTS Good Friday; His Glorious Resurrection on Easter Sun day; His Ascension forty days alter Easter; the Descent of the Holy Spirit i4?n the Ap ostles on Pentecost; the sub sequent growth of the Church In the spread of Christianity Into all parts of the world these twenty centuries. All these must be Included In the "good adlngs of great Joy." The entire gospel (the word 'gospel' means 'good tidings' or 'good news') holds before us the pattern of joyous Chrlsdan living. Should we forget thatChrlst is the Lord, we lose sight of the 'good tidings' - for It is that same Christ who Is the Lord, who is a: the same Qme 'the Way, the Truth, and the Life." Next week, we will write on the subject: "Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is True God." God bless us all.

Attend The Church Of Your Choice LIFT A ... and holdjum above you. You don't expect a child to stand toe to toe with a man. You lift a child . . . and hold him above you. You don't expect a child to understand fully what is right and wrong. You don't expect a child to comprehend every spiritual ideal. You don't expect a child to sense instinctively the constant concern of God in his life. You lift a child . . . you give him the opportunity in his Church and in his Christian home to gain moral and religious insights. And you hold him above you . . . dedicating your own time and strength to your- Church so that you and your child can find together the spiritual founda tion on which men should build their lives.
