For, is there anything that this old world of ours needs more than good will! I once knew of a man who had nursed a grudge against God for years. I suppose we have all known numerous cases of a person’s holding a grudge against another person for a long period of time; and there are few of us, I judge, who haven’t personally done a little , grudge-bearing our selves: and perhaps a- lot. Like a sword suspended by a thread over our necks, the recur rent threats of war continue to unsettle us. These threats are nothing else but giant grudges held not only by whole nations but by great blocks of nations. Coming back to the case of the individual, I have noted how hold ing a grudge against some one has done far more harm to the one with the grudge than it has to the person who is the object of resentment. I heard of the opera tor of a filling station who became intensely jealous of a competitor across the street, and this jeal ousy almost drove him crazy. I have a suspicion that some of those who suffer acutely from rheumatism and arthritis have brought their distress on themsel ves because they never got over or being re sentfoi against somebody. (Please notice that I said “some”, and that my words should not be tak en to imply that every rheumatic or arthritic person is guilty of hav ing nursed some grudge or re-; sentment). The unwillingness to forgive somebody is like a deadly disease. It sucks the vitality and has the seeds of ruination in it. Therefore God feels that His own bountiful forgiveness of our sins cannot do us much goocT unless we also forgive everybody against whom we may have been resentful. We are taught therefore to pray, “For give us our debts as we forgive our debtors”. This prayer is an in . vitation to enter into a world of mutual forgivingness. Every time we — if we put our minds on what we are saying (which far too often is not the case) we are recognizing this invitation of God’s. "Come! let’s all of us for get our grudges”, He pleads. “Let’s start over new”, even if it hurts to do so.

But nobody suffered such hurt as God HimsClTsdid through His Son Jesus Cmrist.jpiat is the mean ing of the\ Cross. The Cross was the hurt thaA wounded the heart of the Almighty.to a degree be yond anything we can imagine. For, it was a hurt great enough to compensate for the sins of-the whole world. Thus when God in vites men to forget, and to have good will among themselves, He was offering no cheap invitation.! Here we see Him, not as One who is altogether detached from ourj world, sitting on His throne, but as One who had come down and entered into the details and in timacy of our miserableness. Here ' we see Him not just offering cheap, gratuitous advice. In Jesus Christ He was giving us His ut most He was giving us Himself. I Thus, in a sense, the proclamation 1 “Peace on earth good will among men” was a terrible thing for God, so costly was it in its impli cations for Him. But for us men it was and ever will be “tid ings of great joy”. In this aftermath of Christmas, may we all let this spirit of God’s great giving simmer within us and exercise its contageous influ ence. Let’s .seriously try to lay aside our prejudices and have the humbleness of the little Jesus in the manger. By drowning our dis .ikes in the magnificence of God, we may prove to the world that faith counts and that the Christ mas Gospel is no mere myth but that in Bethlehem an Incarnate One, adequate to rule the hearts and passions of the world was born. “Heaven and nature sing— The wonders of His love” Westall Serving In Greece Dreux Air Base France—S Sgt.

Did you get one? Would you like to keep it? Here’s how. This plant is a little difficult to keep in the house unless condi-' tions are good. Some of the rea sons are: irregular watering; changes in temperature; low and gas flames. Water thoroughly and then wait until the soil drys on top before water ing again. After the leaves begin to dry in January, cut off about one-half of the growth, place the plant in the cellar, or basement, and dry it out. Water just enough to prevent the stems from shrive ling. About once every three or four weeks should be sufficient When the soil warms in the spring cut the plant back sever ely and re-pot with good soil. Do not use a pot smaller tharf .six inches, and provide good bottom drainage. It should then be put out-of-doors in partial shade. Af ter growth starts, fertilize about once a month with a pinch of } 8-8-8 fertilizer in a measuring cup of water. ) Bring the plant indoors before MERIT SYSTEM ANNOUNCE EXAMINATIONS RALEIGH, N\C.: The North Carolina Merit System Council has announced that examinations I for professional positions with the 1 Employment Security Commission will be held on February 9, 1957.

It is a “short day” plant and the longer it can stay outside the better. In some hones it influenced by the electric lights. This will have a teedency to increase the day leng th which may prevent flowering. Best conditions can be provided by putting the plant in a sunny window in the day time and shad ing when the lights are on at night. The night temperature should not go below sixty degrees for best results. . * The hybrid amaryllis is an in teresting plant and one you might like to try in the house. The large | bulbs should be planted in pots no smaller than seven inches in dia meter. Use good soil and leave at least one-third of the bulb expos above the soil line. Keep watered and treat-as any other pot plant. After the blooming period, keep -the plants growing until fall. Dur ing the summer fertilize as sug gested for the poinsettia. Then dry the plant up. by withholding water for a period of six to eight weeks. After this, start watering again which will force growth. It is not necessary to re-pot each year.

New Year’s Day is another holiday when the death rate from motor vehicle accidents may be expected to show an increase be cause of the large number of per sons driving to or returning from distant points in connection with holiday visits. This time of year has its special hazards for driv ers, what with the days being at their shortest and with the risk of snow or ice, or fog. Thus it behooves us all to use especial care when behind the wheel at this time of year. In this, connec tion those of us who own motor vehicles would do well to study the Safe Driving Pledge mailed us recently with the 1957 license re newal cards:— “I hereby resolve that I will do STOP worrying about whether you paid this bill or that..
