EMMANUEL (GOD WITH US)
Next Monday will be Christmas,
Last week the President of the United States de
dared a state of emergency.
Our town and the Christian world will greet the
birthday of Jesus Christ with many thoughts. What
will the Korean situation develop into'’ Is this the eve
of another great war? And, if it is, will civilization be
destroyed by the hideous weapons that man has de
vised to kill his fellow man. These questions can only
be answered as history, itself, writes the course of
events and “having writ moves on."
Of these things we are sure: a great giant of a
philosophy collectively called Marx-Lenin-Stalin Com
munism has drawn itself into a mighty marsian force
which, like an octopus, is reaching out of its lair to
throttle freedom throughout the world. For almost 30
years this force has set aside its international philo
sophy of world revolution by the proletariat to develop

Philippines.
He is not alone in his flight from an oppressor’s
iron rule of feaf and purges. One-thousand nine-hun
dred and fifty-four years ago a man named Joseph
fled Bethlehem in Judea with his wife Mary and the
boy Jesus to escape the wrath of King Herod, who
feared this new-born “King of the Jews.” Not knowing
Jesus’s identity. Herod ordered that all the children of
two years and under in Bethlehem and the coasts
thereof be murdered. As we know, Jesus made it
safely to Egypt and later returned to Israel after
Herod and his followers had died.
It is with a fervent hope that we pray that our
Russian family, the Alexander Markoff’s, and many
like them all over the world can return to Russia some
day when Communism is gone.
The nationalist plan of Russia has now achieved
its purpose. Since the last war the international aspect
of Communism has swung into position and is now seen
in control of many governments in Europe and Asia.
This is what we are fighting. The blackness of the
situation may lead some of us to follow Ebenezer
Scrooge’s admonition of Christmas with a “Bah!” and
a “Humbug!"
This epithet fits well the modern cynic who fol
lows the m aterialist’s philosophy. There are many
more who have hitched their hopes to the star from
the East which led the three wise men so many years
ago to the place of the birth of Jesus. It is to this star
that we look for light in this darkened moment as the
birthday of our Savior approaches. With our faith we
ask in all humility for “Peace on earth, good will
toward men.”

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS
Christmas—the magic word—what memories it
conjures up. The wild rush of the crowded stores, the
garland and holly-strewn windows, carols of near and
far, Christmas trees lighted and tinselled, Santa
Clauseaxtf fancy and of flesh, sugar candies, plum pud
ding, and the merry laughter of bright-eyed young
sters. All these are Christmas. All these we love.
Surely with so much, nothing is lacking. But look,
there is no Christ Child; the Prince of Peace is not
there. It is only when the multi-colored mufflers, flan-
neled coats and mackinaws are donned and paths
turned toward the stable, adorned by the hands and
gifts of the poor and of the rich, that Christmas finds
its full meaning.
Selfishness alone should find no dwelling at
Christmas. Alongside the giving of Christ, what is of
ourselves fades. If our life is tattered. He shall restore
it. If our life is sorrowful, in our giving He shall make
it full of joy. If hate has found a part in our heart, His
love shall convert it to stronger love. He shall teach us
the way of peace and of good will.
F o r the peace to be found—the peace to men of
good will—cannct oe found outside the stable. The an
swer to a troubled, selfish and war-ridden world lies
in giving as the Omnipotent God gave Himself one
clear starry night long ago. There you find it in Beth
lehem’s cave amid the joyous singing of the angels,
the warm breath of the sheep and the donkeys, the ad- I
piiration of the simple shepherds, and the adoration of
Mary and Joseph.
To the stable then go to seek peace. There look for
Christ the Savior. There find with Mary and Joseph, 5
kneeling and pondering in adoration and humble pray
er, the meaning of Christmas.
Any offer of something for nothing from any gov
ernment, whether in the guise of “Free” state medicine
or any other sugar-coated-paternalism. is a cruel hoax.
