His com rades had hurried to join the others to take some cherished offering to the Blessed Babe. Only the lonely shepherd out in the field did not go, for he owned but the ragged clothes on his back. Without a gift, he thought, he could not appear be fore the Blessed Babe. AS he sat there sad and grieving, a brilliant caravan came towards him. "Is this the road that leads to Bethlehem?" inquired the one of the three gorgeously-clad kings whose face was black as ebony. "Angels have guided us hither from distant lands," he continued, "to see the Christ child who has been born this night. We have brought great treasures of incense and myrrh from our kingdoms with which to adore him." WIT is the road that leads to Beth I lehem," answered the shepherd lad, "and I beg of you that you give me but a trifle of your treasure that I too may go to see the Christ child." Then the three kings said, "All belongs to the new-born Babe and we can give none of it to you," and then continued on their way. THE poor shepherd lad began to cry, for his longing to do hom age to the Christ child grew great er and greater. Tear upon tear fell upon the ground. SUDDENLY, a luminous light from the shining star above the moun tain seemed to bathe the whole world in glory. As the shepherd looked about, he beheld buds springing from the earth moistened by his tears and opening into white shining blossoms. Joyously, he gathered the flowers, saying: "Now I too Have a gift for the Christ child." HE hufried to Bethlehem and soft ly entered the stable. On bend ed knee he laid the flowers at the feet of the Christ child. The Babe laughingly reached for the starry blossoms. THE three kings looked on shame facedly but spread the news far and wide as another one of God's miracles, that on this wonderful winter night he made to blossom the modest white Christmas Rose!

THE TIMES-NEWS ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SERVICE INVOCATION By REV. BROADUS E. JONES Pastor First Baptist Church OUR gracious Father, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may the songs of the angels bring to us good tidings of great joy. Forbid that we shall seek our Christmas joys in sources that defile, and embitter the soul. Give to us the joy that flows from the boundless heart of the Saviour of Bethlehem. We, with the wise men of old bow at His manger. We bring to Him the gifts of true hearts, sincere worship, and glad service. As He fills our hearts with unspeakable joy, may we so love Him as to share that joy with our brothermen. We thank Thee, gracious Fa- | ther, for the supreme gift of Thy love, for the Saviour who so ; loved us as to live and die for His people. May this holy love pos- ! sess us, and express itself in daily deeds of mercy, justice, and help fulness. May His law of love become the law of our live in all our relationships. May this love save us from little minds, and small hearts; may it dense us from all hate, envy, and selfishness. May it bring to us, and to the nations of the earth peace with God and man, and good will among nations. This we pray in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now proclaim Messiah's birth. * Shepherds, in the held abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar, Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star. Saints in humble pray'r are bending. Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord descending In His temple shall appear. Chorus: Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-bor:i King.

Mrs. Oates' message, dated Christmas, comes from Los An geles, and is as follows: CHRISTMAS, 1934 Los Angeles, California Dear children: "Christmas stars are shining bright, Christmas bells are ringing— See the wondrous heavenly light! Hear the angels singing! "Dearer ever to our hearts Grows the Christmas story, As we worship and adore Christ, the Lord of Glory." Over 1900 years ago Christ Jesus came to us a little Babe, born of humble parents who cra dled Him in a manger in Bethle hem. Jesus lived on earth thirty three (33) years. He went about doing good, doing His Heavenly Father's will, healing the sick, casting out devils, and raising the dead. He taught the people to love God with all their hearts and to love their neighbors as them selves. Jesus came because He loved us and was willing to die on the cross to save us from sin, and bring us into His Father's House in Heaven. Though wicked men killed Jesus, the grave could not hold Him, who is the Son of God, and He arose from the dead Easter morning. So you see, Christmas day means the coming of Christ Jesus to earth, and Easter shows that He has power over death and the grave. He is the Living Christ and His {Continued on page six.)/ YuletidejjShopping In Final Rush, Now Exceeding Hopes Year's Trade Now 20 To 30 Per Cent Over That of 1933 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.— (UP)—Thrones moved into the nation's shopping centers in a last minute buying surge, climaxing | the most bountiful Christmas | trade since the early days of the ! depression.
