With this Christmas as an
other rainbow flashing prom
ise, "IJmmanuel ?- God with
us/' hearts in this commun
ity are being attuned to the J
angelic chorus, "Glory to
God in the highest ..."
This is the message of God's
love for humanity, a love
that has created a mighty
camp in every land that is
guarded by obedient hands.
There are some in every na
tion, that kneeling, hail Him
with newborn spirit.
It is in this spirit that
a Community Sing has been
planned, and the entire citi
zenry is invited to gather
Saturday night under the
Annie R. Lang Community
Tree on the Christian Church
grounds and join in singing
the fine old hymns that have
some down to us through the
ages, and will be sung by
millions during the next
few days.
