For example, in 1855, ' only sixteen per cent of the population of the .United States Were church members. However, there can be little doubt ithat the gnin since 1940 is n-ost en 'cour&ging and it signifies a renew d 'interest in the church, and re ligion in the United States. The re cent National Council of Churches of Christ report shows that Pro testant churches in the United States hate 57,124,142 members. The Roman Catholic Church has 82,403,322 members, while Jewish churches have 6,600,000 members. . Eastern Orthodox churches have 2,024,219, members, and other ; churches have ' several hundred ' thousand members between ' them, among them 63,000 Buddhists. , The rate of growth of the church- es is interesting.

J,;;;; Safety Features On Automobiles It is good to see that automobile manufacturer ( most ' of ' them at least) have at last begun to take unfetv seriouslv. Much credit is due a national magazine for pound ing hard on this theme, and claim ing that manufacturers were more interested in dollars than in lives (which was true); The latest models some of the first 1956 models, that is reflect a trend toward safety which will, be yond a doubt save many lives in the coming year. In the next few years these new safety features will undoubtedly save lives by the thousands and injuries by the hun dred thousand. , ''gome of the'new safety features are: door locks that stay locked under the impact of a crash. This wfil prevent-passengers,: and .the driver from being injured as a re- j suit of being thrown through an open door after the coMtsion, , , ... Another commendable safety fea ture is the soft dashboard, which was introduced by a few models in earlier years but 'which Js widely accepted this year. -Seat belts will save as many lives as any other safety improvement and '.they are being offered widely this 1WMV All in all, then, the 1956 eats are probably the' safest offered the mo toring public in yeafs.It.is about time, as everyone now Jtnows, for we,, Americans . were .killing each other and ourselves at 'the rate of about a hundred a day believe it or not .

Luke 2:10. ;! 'LessosTerii Luke 3:1-40. , -v.-. With til m" '"" If" dinf ft$i& 2L' nun 'Uyt. jL '' : I this lesson we begin a study of the life of Jesus Christ sb related by Luke, the physician and historian. As a good historian, LuW gives ' the historical back grounds of this record, telling ;us in ' detail' the' kind of world into which Jesus Was born. Luke was the author of the two longest 'books of the New Testa-ment-i-the.'gospell which' bears his name, and the Acts of the Apostles. It Is interesting to note that he was theoniy Gentile author In the en tire Mew Testament, and his mes sage was particularly for the Gen tile world. Luke was a very prominent fig-, ure in the early church and was re ferred to by Paul as the "beloved physician." In the last letter whidi we have from the pen of Paul, written just before his execution at Rome, Paul tells Timothy that Luke alone had remained with him. - Luke's account of the birth of Jesus Christ is given in more de tail than any other of the gospels. Being a physician, he was natural ly interested in Mary, her condition and the facts surrounding Jesus' birth.1,. It is believed that Luke got many of the details from Mary her self.:.. ; The birth place of Jesus was Bethlehem, five miles out of Jeru salem, in the Province of Judee.i Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, ordered a genei.il census ofi the empire. While the Ronrna cus tom was that each person be en roJled in the place of residence, the Jews were allowed to follow their custom and enroll in their ancestral city.

The lad in the picture beams his pleasure as his dad prepares -to "pitch him a few." ' The bond of companionship between a good ' father and his. Son is one of the most helpful ' influences that can come into the life of a boy. Boys who enjoy such companionship" seldom go astray. - What a striking contrast we observe in the other picture! Guilt and fear are written on the face of the boy with the stolen fruit. He has started on the long and painful road that leads to disaste.! iv. 4r Juvenile delinquency is one of the great social problems of our time. Unwholesome influences are abroad in the world to lead children astray. Without parental guidance, many of them drift into evil ways. Parents need the help of God and the counsel of the Church fn meeting this responsibility. -1 1 I I mo.

Because of the many visitors, there was no Toom In Hie inn, and Jesus was born in a small cave nearby, customarily used as a stable, Dr. David J. Burrell offers the exxcuse of the innkeeper in the following imaginary words: ""The man was a mere peasant, a carpen ter, as he told me, from the despis ed town of Nazareth1 Which of the distinguished guests in my cara vanseryprlests, ' ratbis', wealthy traders ould I displace to make room for himt Shelter in the cave nearby was better for them than to rest under the open sky. There were cattle there, and beasts of burden, so that the place afford ed shelter from the kind; and there was barley straw to rest on." , Luke's is the only gospel which records the visit of the angels to the shepherds or the . visit of the shepherds to the manger in Bethle hem where Jesus had been born, ; It was in keeping with his future life that the first notice of the advent of Jesus should have been made to humble men, and not to princes and kings. The shepherds were frightened by the spiritual appari tion, but the first words spoken to them were comforting, telling them not to be afraid. "They who have accepted the Christian tidings of a loving Au thor and Kuler of the universe," says Rev. John Williams Bradshaw, "and have dared to live as if those tidings were true, have found that the exhortation of the herald angel, 'Fear not,' is fuMy warranted. If this banishment of fear from, the hearts of men were the one, sole gift of Christ to the world, whai words' could overstate its worth?" After the song of the angels, the shepherds immediately departed to find the baby whose birth had been tdld'them.' ' ". i In The Evangelical Christian, is sue of July, 1953, we found the fol lowing: ; "His ' (Jesus Christ's) birth was contrary to the laws of life. His death was contrary to the laws of death. He had no corn fields or fisheries, "but y he; could spread a table for five thousand and have bread and fiali to spare.
