A Woman's Misfortune
Her hair style wasn't specific,
Her make-up scheme was horrific,
Her dress was too long ami ruffled,
In fact, she looked ruther muffled;
Her hat must've come from the atlic,
Her laughter sounded like static,
But pause before you deride her
She had no daughter to guide her!

God ... Or The Greatest
Fraud That Ever Lived!
Most people will agree that Jesus
Christ was a great man . . . that
He was an inspired spiritual lead
er . . . that He performed miracles
never performed before or since
His time by anyone else.
But today ... as at Christ's trial
before the high priest Caiphas . . .
many are unwilling to accept Our
Lord's claim to be the divine Son
of Almighty God.
For nearly 2,000 years the
Catholic Church has maintained
that, as Jesus claimed, He "and
the Father arc one." Based on
what He said and did . . . what He
claimed and what He fulfilled...
He had to be the Son of God or
the greatest fraud that ever lived.
Prophecies scattered through
the books of the Old Testament,
written as long ss 1,000 years
before Christ's birth, describe the
family from which he was to come
. . . the circumstances of his birth
...his life of preaching and mir
acles . . . and finally, his birth and
death for the sins of mankind.
All these prophecies apply to
only one man in all the annals of
human history to Jesus Christ
alone.
If we are to accept Christ as
the center and essence of our reli
gious faith, the least we can be
lieve of Him is that what He
said was true. And under cross
examination by Caiphas, when
asked to declare if He was "the
Christ, the Son of God," Our Lord
replied: "Thou hast said it" (Mat
thew 26:63, 64).
A man who only claims to be
the Son of God could not have
done the things Jesus did to prove
it. No mere human being could is
walk on the waters, still the waves, jjj
cleanse the lepers, restore sight
to the blind, bring the dead back I
to life. One who only claimed to g
be divine could not have returned Si
from the grave as Christ did. jjj
The whole foundation of the js
Christian religion rests upon jjj
God's promise to send His only jjj
begotten Son to redeem a sinful
world. He did not promise to jjj
send merely a gifted preacher, or jjj
a pious leader but His Own Son. jjj
And no lesser person's sacrifice,
however noble, would have been jjj
sufficient to achieve the redemp- 3
tion of man. jjj

about Him and what His birth
and life and death mean to you jjj
and your own immortal soul? If

Quips and Quotes
Much against his conscience, an office
worker bought a sweepstakes ticket from a
fellow employee. It turned out to be the
winning ticket, and he was informed that
he would soon receive $50,000.
"I didn't work for this money," the trou
bled man told his wife. "It is an ill-gotten
gain, and I don't know if I should accept
the $50,000."
After a long discussion, the wife said, "If

we go to the minister tomorrow night and
ask his advice?" He agreed, but the next
night when he came home, he found his wife
dressed in a new gown, hat, and shoes, with
a full-length mink coat carefully draped
over her arm.
"I thought we were going to the minister's
tonight." he said.
"We are but you don't want me to go
looking like a poor woman, do you?"
