THIS WEEK'S 'BIBLE THOUGHT
' - Ml i V
THE FORERUtNJEJR y And thou,
child, shalt be called "the prophet of
the Highest; for thou shalt go before
the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways; to give knowledge of salvation
unto his people by the remission of
their sins. Luke .1:76, .77.
PEACE QN JSARTH
: "Peace on earth," .sang the .angels
on that -first Christmas night, .long
ago, and the .song has been ringing
down the sees while men made
hideous the earth with war And
strife, and sometimes it has seemed
that the .song could have had no
meaning.
But it had mAftnbig for those
shepherds on the Judean hills, who
were the first to aeek And to And the
Babe in the manger, and who "glori
fied and praised God."
It had meaning Xor men and wom
en through the centuries for the
disciples, for the apostles, lor the
early Christians who suffered perse
cution and death for His cause; for
thousands and thousands who have
been true.
And the message of the angels
still has meaning. Though it is
more than nineteen hundred years
since He was born Who was to be
called the Prince of Peace, and the
earth is racked with war, and there
is hatred, envy, malice and greed,
there is in each heart in which Christ
has been born that peace which the
angels sang of on that first Christ
mas night.
"Glory to God in the highest!
Peace on earth to men of good
Will.
-THE CUP THAT CHEERS"
The dregs of the cup which is sup
posed to cheer will be bitter for those
young man who will spend Christmas
on the roads as a result of drinking.
But the saddest thought is that
not they alone drink the dregs. The
bitterest draught of all must be
wallowed by the innocent families
ot these men.
There isnt much cheer in this cup.
