Even the great mind of Paul when pon dering it exclaimed, “Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh.” In the Gospels of Matthew and Luke we have the sublime story of how he came. God not only sent his only begotten Son into the world, but sent him in away which forever touches and thrills the heart of man. It was away which will make all nations and all ages celebrate it to the end of time. There are, indeed, some today who claim to know better than God himself how Christ ought to have come, and who say he did not come in the way the Gospels tell us he did come —conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. The sublime narrative of the vir gin birth of our Lord is a touch stone of men’s faith. The discount ing or denial of this fact is inevit ably linked with that indifference and coldness and dead secularism and passionless unbelief which rest as a blight upon so many of the churches has taken the ring out of the voice of many pulpits. The Virgin Birth of Christ can not be ethically and morally true, and at the same time historically false. Christianity depends upon its great facts. In the virgin birth of our Lord we have the consti tuent miracle of the Christian faith. Without the record of his birth, Christ would be the supreme enigma of the ages. We rejoice that he came in the way he did: the Star leading on the wise men from the East; the wondering of the maid of Nazareth at what the angel had told her; the virgin mother overtaken in her great hour at Bethlehem, where there was no room for them in the inn. I say, let the Christmas story stand as it is. Who would want to silence the singing of the angels? Who would want to stop the wise men from presenting their gifts Let the shepherds bow at the cradle and adore! The manner of the In carnation was God’s method of revealing himself to the world. Let us offer thanksgiving for this rev elation. 111. The third thing which we shall see is the purpose of the Incarna tion. We are not left in doubt as to the purpose of that wonderful birth on the night of nights in Bethlehem’s cradle. The prophets of old tell us that he will come as a Saviour and to establish the Kingdom 1 of Redemption. The Angel of the Lord said to Joseph that his name was to be Jesus, he “shall save his people from their sins.” John said that he came to bring light and life into the world. Paul said that he came to save sinners. Christ said that he came to “seek and to save the lost.” The Child who was born on this night of nights was born to die. Through his birth and death he came to bring salvation to the lost. Christ brought Light into the world to those who sat in dark ness. The Everlasting Light will ever shine in the storms and clouds of this sinful world. The purpose of the Incarnation, then, is to bring eternal life to lost men. Christ was born that he might die to make atonement for your sins and mine. What is your rela tionship to Christ? Is he your Saviour at this Christmas time? If not, why not give yourself to Him at this Christmas season. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” —Mrs. James Graham is spend ing Christmas with her brother in-law and sisiter, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Wrenn, fire chief of Black Mountain, today called on all citizens of the city and sur rounding area, to cooperate during the Christmas holidays in order to hold loss from fire to a minimum. Wrenn returned late last week from a special meeting of state fire chiefs held in Salisbury. “Everyone should be extremely careful with fire around Christmas trees, fireworks, fire crackers, and Candles,” Wrenn said, "and I wish to stress that in case of fire the occupants should not try to put out the blaze before they call the de partment. In case of fire, call the fire department first.” The local fire chief emphasized that it is unlawful to buy, sell, or discharge fireworks of any kind either in the city or in the county.
