The Sign of the Babe
“ At o this shall he a sign unto you:
ye shall find the Italic wrapped in »wad
dling clothe» lying in a m anger,”
St. Luke 2:12.
Each year we read the Christ
mas story of the angels and the
shepherds on the plains of Beth
lehem.
Let us follow the ex
ample of the latter on hearing
the tidings of great joy, and go
with them to the village. Let us
stand in reverence behind them
and worship the Fa be and learn
of HIM. What is it that He
teaches us?
1.
That God is love, because
not only is the Babe the unspeak
able gift of God, but God is seen
in the lace of Jesus Christ. And
what does a mother see in the
face of her child, but the evi
dence of love?.
2. Humility; the Son of God
humbled Himself to be born of a
virgin, making Himself of no
reputation and taking upon Him
the form of a servant and was
made in the likeness of men.
Let none of us think then, more
highly of himself than he ought
to think. If He Who is God In
carnate lived on this earth as one
of the poorest and humblest, let
none dare presume on a high
social position or fret because of
the want of it.
3. A man’s true value de
pends on what he is in himself,
not in his possessions. Neither
riches, nor lordly estate, nor
golden crown, nor brilliant reti
nue can make a monarch a great
(Vie. A nobleman may be made
by a king, but a noble man is the
work of God.
4. That spiritual and heaven
ly forces are si p>eme over the
material and the worldly. The
Babe exercises a persuasive in
fluence on the hearts of men,
irradiating, softening, purifying,
capturing and binding them with
the cords of love
Such are some of the chief les
sons taught by tin1 Babe of Beth
lehem. If we take them to heart
and act on them, wo shall find
thorn of inestimable value for-
bringing contentment into our
lives, and as far as we are con-
corned. peace on earth, goodwill
towards men.

C ounty Election Talk
The Oregon Citv E n te r p r is e
s-ivs that “ County politics in
t lackamfts is ^eginnintr to warm
up for the May primary.” Among
the names mentioned as possible
candidates, we find that of E.
W. Bartlett for representative
in (he legislature and J. W. Reed
'or countv commissioner. We
have not interviewed the«o ge"-
tlemen but probably they would
say they are in the hands of
their friends. It is very fitting
that Estacada should be r e p r e
sented among the state and
countv officers.
SUPERB
The Christmas issiih of the
Gresham Outlook is a very hand
some number. It has a co ored
cover in red and green, and its
inside pages are filled with per
tinent news matter and special
stories. The display advertising
is most artistic and shows a gen
e r o u s patronage on the part of
the business men. We extend
li -arty congratulations and the
season’s greetings to Bro. St.
v lair and his staff.
