Christmas Sunday was observed In
most of Eugene churches Sunday vith
special sermons, programs. pn(foa:ts,
nnd cantatas at various times durint:
the day. Many of tho churches will
be having services and programs
from now until i;nristmns.
At Central Presbyterian chinch
Rev. Milton 8. Wcher, pastor, taiked
on "Jesus Christ tlio Jord Bhnum De
Our Lord" for his sermon Sunday.
His text was Romans 6:11, "Dead
'rdced unto sin but ailvo unto God
through .lesus Christ our .born.
His sermon In narr is as follows
"For two tiiousand years tho
founder of the Christian religion has
been known as Jesus Christ the
Lord. Sensible men likewise know
that he established the Christian
church. He was the fulfillment of
Jewish hopes forecast within the title
of Messiah, a Hebrew word meaning
'annointed one.' Praises therefore
aung to the glory of the Messiah in
cluding the Hallelujah Chorus, nrn In
praise of hiin. Christ is the Greek
word which means annointed one,
and may be interchanged with tho
word Messiah. Sincere worshippers
will praise him the year round, day
in and day out, with band, orchestra,
psaltery and harp, and will not
neglect the stated opportunities of
worship and praise.
"His mother was instructed to call
his name ' Jesus, meaning Joshua
(Heb) which Is also Jehovah my
salvation. These titles accepted by
Jesus and applied to him, all suggest
thoughts entirely worthy or ins
charncter. but he also called h'm
self king, allowed himself to be called
king, snoke of his kingdom, was
known as Jesus of Nnzereth, King of
the Jews; before Pilate acknowledg
ed his kingship. Ho is Lord of Lords
nnd King ot Kings, and just necanse
unworthy men hnvo borne the title
of king, and because political for
tunes have discarded such unworthy
rulers, is no reason that we should
find It impossible to name Christ as
King. This means that we shall have
to bring the kingliness of Christ into
the kings of the earth. We must
make the nobility of the Prince of
reace tne ruling spirit in the ncerts
of the earthly nobles. Best of all
titles for us to consider at Chr'st
mas time is his title of Jesus Christ
OUH Lord.
"When he becomes Our Lord he
will bring to us purity of heart,
kindness of disposition, a desire to
make his reign of peace a fact in the
world, and a determination that de
pression or no depression, the chll
dren of the world, tho poor, the
afflicted, the neglected, may all have
A share In our Christmas joy.

The glory flsmea from sun and star,

The letter assured Father Flnna
gan the state of Washington could
guarantee Herbert the fullest oppor
tunities in life.
Tho manner in which Father Flan
agan entered tho Niccolls case wos de
cried by the governor. The letter re
ferred to the Nebraska educator's ap
peals for custody of Herbert "through
the press, from the pulpit, and from
44 radio stations as attempts to focus
national attention on his boy's home.
"After Herbert's trial woa conclud
ed and the boy delivered to the peni
tentiary," tho governor wrote, "you
entered the case, seizing the oppor
tunity to direct nation-wido attention
to your boys home, facilitated by the
sensational publicity that attended the
trial. The people whose sympathies
had been stirred by the accounts of
the trial viewed your appeal as an act
of mercy that no state nor governor
should deny."
"Certain sensational newspapers
had almost despaired of keeping the
Niccolls case on the front page when
you came to the rescue.
"What a happy situation Father
Flanagan needed these newspapers as
a vehicle to supplement his appeals;
these newspiipers needed Father
Flanagan in the role of humanitarian.
"In mv judgment nothing in recent
yonrs haa taken place so detrimental
to tho youth of our land as tho melo
dramatic publicity and exploitation
which attended your trip to the state
of Washington and the request to
have this boy turned over to your
Institution."
Tho governors office during the
nast month has been deluged with
thousands of letters and pelStions. for
and against releasing Herbert, from
all sections of the country.
'Not a word of cousointion or sym
pathy was extended to the bereaved
family of tho sheriff who was killed
in tho performance of his duty seven
brothers and sisters, a widow and four
children entirely forgotten."
'Sympathetic people, particularly
those far removed from the scene of
the crime, were stirred by these sub
tle misrepresentations nnd persuaded
that this boy was being dealt with In
humanely nnd that a grave injustice
had Iveen done." the letter said.
The governor said he waa deeply
Impressed by tho alneero sympathy

cern for the well-being of Herbert.

Christmas, according to D. E. 1'oran,

Kvery year packages arrive at the
office without the street addresses
and these cannot be delivered unless
the carriers happen to know the ad
dresses of the persons to whom they
are sent or until the addressees call
for them, but it is hoped to clean up
the Christmas rush so there will be
very few leftovers this year, the post
master said.
Long lines of men, women nnd chil
