CHRISTMAS . . . .
Scripture Reading. Matthew 1:1-10
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of
Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold there
came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, say
ing, Where is he that is born king of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the east and are come
to worship him. When Herod the king had heard
these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem
with him, and when he had gathered all the chief
priest and scribes of the people together, he de
manded of them where Christ should be born. And
they said unto him. In Bethlehem of Judea, for
thus it is written by the prophets. And thou Beth
lehem, in the land of Juda; art not the least a
mong the prince of Juda, for out of thee shall
come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise
men, inquired of them diligently what time the
Star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem
and said, Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when you have found him, bring me
word again, that I may come and worship him al
so. When they had heard the king, they departed;
and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went
befoi'e them, till it came and stood over where the
young child was. When they saw the star, they re
joiced with great joy.”
Our hearts should be touched with the ap
proaching of the greatest of all holidays.
For these two thousand years great joy has
come to countless hundreds of peoples.
The thrill doesn’t lessen with the passing
years, but rather becomes more thrilling and joy
ous.
If it would bp possible for us, of this advanced
and rushing age to cadi a halt to the fast pace
which we have grown into, and consider the seri
ousness of the occasion; though it has been many
years since the occasion of this memorable birth
we should not allow time to take away the sanc
tity and glory of the date observed. There was
great joy at his birth; there has been great joy to
those who have known Him during the years
from the great and miraculous occasion of the Ju
dean hills- we should make this Christmas of
nineteen hundred and sixty-one one of which this
Christ would smile upon.
If circumstances and conditions have detracted
from a picture of happiness and joy, I am sure
that we could attribute it to the way you and I
have conducted ourselves. Certainly we would say
it is because of us and our choosing.
We are the people of a generation and age of
great opportunities and privileges. Are we going
to let them slip from us? or are we going to be
wise and take full advantage of the wonderful
blessings which have come to us?
I would like very much to offer some advice to
all who will let me.
As Mayor of this wonderful little city, located
in the most beautiful setting one could wish for,
and inhabited with the most wonderful people
that could be found, surrounded by the natural
resources of life and the wonderful blessings of
God to be enjoyed at all times, I urge that we
celebrate the birthday of our Lord with reverence
and thanksgiving to Him, for His wonderful bless
ings and protection to us all.
Our prayers are not only for this city but for
our neighbors both far and near.
In this year of turmoil and strife, and with war
clouds hanging over us, we should with reverence
turn to one who is anxious to give aid and assist
ance to all, and in all circumstances.
I thoroughly recommend to you the One whose
birthday we shall observe on December tweny
five, the Christ of Bethlehem, not as the babe in
the manger, but, as Lord and Master, One who is
loving - kind - compassionate - and considerate to
us all.
From me to you, where ere you be.
A prayer or a wish that joy you see.
To every rank or walk on earth,
To every creed or race by birth.
So was our Lord, and so are we.
Meek and lowly as can be
Our heart goes out for one and all,
For blessings to both great and small.
We wish for you a very merry Christmas,
and a happy new year.
