This word stuns the iiha^^ atioh.of man.Yes, the ide^. the Almighty, the sovereign ruler’ of the universe, is with us OWtr-' ■ whdming^y. * i And yet what a heart-warming thought to know that God comes to dwell in our midst. God out'.of the matchless winder of his^^qye clothes himself in the weakness of tmr human ficsh^ imd dwetts a- mong us. And yet this mysterious Ul^ON BETWEEN DIVINITY AND HUMANITY IS THE CHRIST MAS MESSAGE. In humble t^e simplicity of the manger God’s SDn is born in due time. Prophecy proclaims it and the Gospel records its fullfillment. . . “His naine shall be called Em- ihahuel, God Wit tis; .

The ciirrentfight between the liberal and conservative Republicans for some reason Seenis unable to evoke more than a wide yawn from Presi dent Eisenhower. It reminds me of a story I heard back when I was In col lege. A visitor was driving through a small town in Which was located flie campus of a medium-sized university. The visitor stopped for lunch and noticing that he was near' an institution of higher learn ing decided to take a look at the place. He passed an amiable-look- ing lad wearing a turtleneck sweater artd asked the name ol the school. “Sorry, sir, I can’t tell you,” the boy re- iflied. “I just play football here.” Ike, of course, doesn’t just play football here. He is an horiest, well-meaning man knd he would like to leave TOe White House with a. repu tation for solid achievement. But if he cannot even find find time to help his own loyal supporters in the cru cial battle for the Republican Senate leadership, th^ there are going to be even more voters than there were- In' 1098 who think "Modern” Re publicanism is just a phrase, meaning nothlhg. Por Repul/licanii tf^ striig-'- gle ill just as bltte'r^^d, stgfti- ■ ficant as the 'pkmoc^ats' Ndtfli-South cleavfijte, 'this is the way it now shades up: The libisral Republicans have apparently decided to support Sen. ‘Gtorge tl. Atken of Ver-» iriont for floor leader in place at retiring Sea. wiUfuB P. Bthdwlkiid. Even if they should filially settle sbnlcdne other than Ai^en they have aeflhltely decided to make a fight against the pte-arranged selection of ^eii Everett IW. of rilinofs. Vhere are several reasons behind the “insurrection.” The liberal fhction, headed by Sens. Cooper of Kentucky, Jivits of New York and Case of New Jersey, believes the Noveml)er elections were a rebuff to the GOP Old Guard.: In their judgement thia was true from coa(t-tp>coast, ex cept for Arizo^. So they feel that any chance of victory In I960 means the party must move in the "modem man- n«-.” In addition to the pre-elec tion jnaneuvering^ ^ey -be-., 'lleve that a ibirksen victory -would 'act^BlIy; be a victory for bMirw m New mimlMiiiv. ^6 Ik ftnc- rally recognized as leader of the party’s ultra-conservative bloc. A main objective of the liberals is'’to reduee Bridges' poWer and Influence. And since Bridges is orie of Vice ^reslHtiit 14ixdh*S sttiun- chest supporters, there are some Who also see this as an attenrpt to make Nixon choose between the party’s Modern Wing and its Old Guard. Even if the President stays on the sidelines this battle could, as Dirken puts it, become "quite spirited.*’ A British View Of Mrs. Nixol What cure Use wives of big public figures like? The ques tion is always asked, but American journalists really write very little about it. Ever since the savage attacks on Eleanor ftoos«velt in the ‘30s there has been a self-imposed restraint in discussing Mrs. Truman, Mrs. EtSenhower and Mrs. Richard Nixon. Foi* that reason I am taking the llSeVi:^ of passing bn what the London Spectator wrote in part about Mrs. N. during her recent overseas visit; “...Mrs.. Pat, face to. face, is like a Republican Coppelia. ^he chat^s, aiiswers ques tions, smfles an^4 all 'wltH i *doll''s urvying poise. fl -tdb mW Vdmprbh«!n- 'titiii.

As wc round out the year and wi^ happiness in the year to come, it is at Christmas time also that we tafke stock of the happ^ings of fhe year that is running out. And we being to shape wishes and to make resolutions for the full year to come. In taking the measure of the accomplishments and progress made in the year just ending, wc also note is short comings and flilures. The greatest of 1958 was the Inhability to won complete and general acceptance among us of equality for all without regard to race, creed, color or national origin. Worst of all was the hate which brought in its wake vio lent bombings of schools, meet ing places, homes and houses of worship. Equally bad were the threats of violence which filled with terror innocent school children and peace-loving wor shipers. To prevent the recurrence of such outbreaks, labor, along with all other right-minded citizens, has called on federal, state and local agencies tor a full measure of law enforcement. The AFL-CIO looks tp' the ne^ Congress to extend effec tive protection of the federal law to every constitutionally guaran teed civil right of our citizcns. We are determined to attain our objective of equal opportu nity for every American by driving toward it in the halls of Congress, in legislatures and in the courts. All these thing. wc must do But in order to gain ciur }4>:il we must also win the liciirl;^ of ttic people themsclvc-.':. In every commnity. East and Wost, Nortli and South, wo must win pcoplo over to our cause of brotbertl- ness and neiKhDoriiuesi amontr all of us. ^ Christmas is a children’s holi day. It is time for us to stoii to think about children. It is tha time to realize that cliildr.-n, come into this world with friendliness for all. Children come into the ^orld without prejudice, witlvout en mity, without hulrcfl ' toward anyone. Discrimination and prejudice besed on race, creed or cofrt'r arc taught to children by f'rownup:?. It is our duty, then, it. Is our responsibility, not to t^ii'il ^he pure hearts of little children with the teaching of pr(*Judico and of hatred. ’ Let us make them und^rstind that the only thin;» wo hate is hate itself. ■ Lot us make it clear to .UijCm . also that, whr n we use word! lo m I proclaim our bolijf, to det^nre ■ | our’iritcnt, wo really mean what * • we ss^y. .j At Chriitmas, when ^ Ave call for . “good will to all wo make a pledge to act ;ft!Cordhig- ly- Lot us re.'iolve to make tliat pledge good, not 'iily- in the coming year but, 'tliVoiiah our children, for all tiina AFL-GIO American Fedcratinist JULY LETTERS TO THE ;FJ3IT0K ONE 1 wint to say just a few words fie^ } not the In t*mlnatihg rty eon^'spdnffe^c ^fitfi'ch in the Public Forum regardinglfte haw as sac- Seventh-day Adventist church.
