GET IT ON SAFELY
It is more blessed to give.
than to receive. . .especially
entering a..
In this case, giving means
yielding right of way to the
cars already
on the free
.way. If you
try to force
your car in
to the traffic
iflow, you
I could force a
§
driver to hit his brakes and
he could receive a severe jolt
in the rear from the car
following him.
Getting on a freeway safe
ly is your problem, not the
problem of drivers already
there. If they vary their speed
to accommodate you, they
could cause a major pileup.
Entrance ramps usually
lead to an acceleration lane,
and it may be a long one or
a short one, or it may branch
off into an exit. If traffic is
heavy, you must - find a gap
between cars and tipie your
approach to bring you to
that gap as close as possible
to the prevailing speed of
the other cars.
Turn on your turn signal,
check-your rear-view mirrors,
and take several quick glances
over your shoulder. If you
are alert, you will usually
be able to -blend into the
traffic flow. If you are follow
ing another car, keep in mind ,
that it may slow down'or
stop suddenly if the. driver,
is having trouble getting into
the traffic.
When you are on a through
lane and see another driver
about to enter that lane from
a ramp, remember -- making '
room for him is for your
own safety’s sake. '

Sunday School
Lesson
THE WORD DWELT
AMONG US
International Sunday School
Lesson for December 23.1973.
LESSON TEXT: John 1:1-5,
14-18.
In this season of
celebration Os the birth of the
Christ Child, we normally
turn to a revision of the
circumstances of His birth.
These are found in both the.
gospels of Matthew and Luke.
This year, we take a slightly
different approach through
the sequences of the Fourth
Gospel. . . . through the
writings of John. For this
gifted writer takes the reader
back, beyond the advent of
Bethlehem. . . to claim that
the child of Mary was,
indeed, the Son of God.
The circumstances- of
Christ’s birth, therefore,
become secondary to the
Persons of Christ, Himself
who He was, and why He
came to a troubled world,
Christ was, in Himself, a
continuing life- That is to say,
He existed before -He ever
took human form; He merely
came to the level of humans
because that was the perfect
identification with mankind!
He had existed, in close
communication with the
Father, from the beginning of
creation. He enjoyed a very
unique relationship with the
Creator!
Ardent students of things
Biblical are acutely aware
that the universe was created
by God as He saw that which
would benefit man and that
all was created by
. word.” if Let there be
light”...“‘Let man have
dominion...”. In short, God’s
Word was law. The Word was
the giver of life; the gift of life
was accompanied by the gift
of light; and the gift of light
was threatened by it’s
opposite number...darkness!
And while, darkness can be
restful (and welcomed as
such- in the corporeal
concept) in the spiritual
concept it can be evil and
fraught with great danger.
Therefore, on the eve of the
celebration of Christmas
(Christ’s birth into the world
of men) we must also rejoice
upon the meaning of that
birth God’s ever-loving
grace bestowed upon
mankind. For through this
momentous event, the light of
God’s love for mankind was
made evident. For through
Christ man is brought into
direct contact with eternal
realities!
For, while it is true that
goodwill among men is
accepted as one of the
Christian basics (and this is
good) we tend to overlook the
religious significance of the
events that led to such joyful
celebration, putting our
pleasures and appreciations
on a very corporeal plane.
Santa Claus should NEVER
be confused with Christ!
CJirist, in the role of the
Word, brought to mankind a
more realistic view of God,
the Heavenly Father, In this
He could hot fail, so
completely did He identify
wifti God, and with the Holy
Ghost! The Holy Trinity!
God can be all things to all
men, if only we will let him!
In accepting Christ, we
accept God. It cannot be
We cannot accept God and
jeject the Son; nor can we
accept the Son and reject
Qat! For the twain are one.

A puppy for Christmas. A warm little creature that looks up at you
with appealing big brown eyes as he teeters on his wobbly tegs. That’s
something few pdople can resist.
Before Christmas day is over, though, you may have had a qualm
or two about this little fellow —when he starts teething on one of Dad’s
new Christmas slippers or on the living room rug.
Bringing up a puppy is not alt pleasure. It is mixed with resporisi- <
bHity—and that’s the way it is with most things in life. Pleasure, responsi
bility, work, play—it alt goes to make up a kind of balance.
Going to church is Hke that. For home and church make up the
most important balance in your life, each vital to the other. If you’ve
been neglecting the church side of the scale, then you have been short- ;■>
changing yourself. Why not make up for it next Sunday?
