A Christmas Sermonette
Peace on Earth
By MARTIN FERREY
(Minister, Unitarian Church.)
"Peace on earth, good will toward men," Is given to us as
part of the song of the Angels heard by the lowly shepherd.?.
These words express the objective of the Christian religion. And
yet we find so mueh misunderstanding as time after time from
the pulpits, platforms and many other places the question Is
asked "Has Christianity Failed?"
One great obstacle towards the fulfilment of the Christian
hope is that for centuries men have looked everywhere outside
of their own lives for the Kingdom of Heaven. They have expect
ed to find peace beyond the grave and the kingdom everywhere
except where Jesus taught that his followers would find It
within their own hearts and among themselves.
I have seen worn faces; anxious faces rushing here and
there making purchases. I have heard "O, ilwill be so glad when
Christmas is over!" Such persons have forgotten the spirit for
the temporal satisfactions.
Peace in the world may only be found when peace Is first
enthroned in' the heart.
Good will to all men will bring that peace. Not a passing
good-fellowship giving costly presents .and then wishing to for
get about it or worrying as to how one should pay for them,
but a good-radiating sympathy, kindness, understanding so
much so that each one being a kingdom of God will ultimately
transform the world. v
The Christ spirit is a perpetual gift to humanity. Only we
all must pray and learn to appreciate It. Let us remember that
all men and women are children of one Father. Let us wish to all
a Merry Christmas. Our smiling faces, sincere greetings and the
good will we feel within will be worth more than mechanical
illumination. Christmas Is an eminently saered and holy occa
sion. Let each ot us help realize that in this our city Salem
city of peace.
Father Meier Tells
Theresa Neumann, Seer Who Has
Wounds of Christ in Her Body
WOODBURN, December 20.
Fr. Thomas Meier, O. S. B.f form
er rector of Mt. Angel college,
gave a lecture on "Theresa Neu
mann, the Passion Flower of Kon
nersreuth" to a crowded assembly
under the auspices of the Knights
of Columbus Tuesday night.
"Many things impressed me
while on my tour ot the British
Islands and the continent," he
said, but my fondest recollection
was that of Theresa Neumann at
Konnersreuth, Bavaria.
"Theresa Neumann, the stigma
tized seer, bears the wounds of
Christ In her own body. I saw and
examined the open wounds in her
hands," the speaker continued,
'and I speak to you as I saw her
during my four days visit at Kon
nersreuth. The stlgmatas do not
fester as do other sores on her
body which have shown to be
quite susceptible to Infection. The
resa goes through the passion on
Fridays, as I myself witnessed.
She loses as much as six pounds
In weight during her suffering but
regains the same in remarkably
short time.
"Theresa has eaten no food
since Christmas, 1926, and has

Arthur's Court.
King Arthur sees in his dream
the Holy Family in the stable at
Bethlehem and the worship of the
shepherds and the adoration of
the wise men who followed the
star to the place where the Christ
Child was. King Arthur pledges
himself to find the perfect gift for
Christ that the Holy Grail may
be seen again in their midst.

Epiphany In the king's court.
The knights appear before
Arthur who sends them forth to
find the sacred cup and the pres

before the king to receive his ac

to "chase the fancies of a dream."

in prayer, so decided to destroy
him in a more subtle way. Three
damsels are sent with, gifts of
wealth, fame and pride to tempt
him. But Galahad spurns them,
whereupon a fourth damsel comes
with a cross of consecration which
she pins upon his robe as a sym
bol of knlghtllness.
