bols of Christmas that are more
than just decorations.
A wreath represents eternal life.
It is the love of a Heavenly Father
that has no ending—it is everlast
ing. Any green wreath represents
His love. The red represents the
blood of His passion for us that
gives us the right \o live after
death.
Candles are beautiful from the
windows and outside of the house.
They are likened to His spirit—the
Light of the world. The flame is
His Divine Personality. It lights the
path of man. In many sections peo
ple use candle lighting ceremonies,
and they last for days.
The trees in the forest are no
ticed at this season, each one is
picking a tree. Most all homes will
have a tree of some sort. When you
put an evergreen tree in your home,
it is the “Tree of Life” or the tree
of immortality. This represents the
Savior of the world.
The tree itself »the world. The
candles on the tree represent all
the people of the world. Some peo-

pie shine more brightly than others.
Some have greater ideals.
A star played a big part in the
guiding of the Three Wise Men to
the Christ Child. Lights in shape
of stars and designs ate appropri
ate for the season. We are still
being guided by that star. It rep
resents His Sovereignty or ability
to guide people right. It is a bea.
con for people to live rightly.
The angels were present on the
Holy Night, so we love to hear the
songs the angels sang. An angelic
face with a glorious song adds
brightness to the season. It is the
Birth in song through the ages.
Enjoy all the Season with glad
ness. May each of you have a Christ
mas that Is fUled with love, joy and
peace.
We close with a favorite carol:
It came upon the midnight clear.
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the
earth
To touch their harps of gold.
Peace on the earth, good will to
men.
From heaven’s all gracious King,
The world in silent stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the-cloven skies they
come, ^
With peaceful wings unfurled.
And still their heavenly music
floats
O’er all the weary world.

Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov’ring wing.
And ever o’er the Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
For lo! the days are hast’ning on.
By prophets seen of old.
When with the ever circling years.
Shall come the time foretold.
When the new heaven and earth
shall own
■rhe Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back
the song
Which now the angels sing.
