The Christmas Hope
By REV. HOWARD HUTCHINS
Paitor, First Christian Church
llAE have seen his star iu the east.".
VY Matt: 2:2.
Two ways led to the manger the way of
revelation and the way of investigation. God
led the shepherds by a song and the wise men
by a star. The song would not have sufficed
for the wise men, nor the star for the shepherds,
yet both groups found ut the end of their
search the child Jesus the Immanuel the God
with us.
The two groups differed, in training and in
environment. One group was versed in the
prophecies of the Jewish race, the other was
intimate with the knowledge of the heavens.
At the crossroads of the centuries they meet,
the shepherds leave for us to consider the ful
fillment of the revelation of the scriptures, the
magi leave for our consideration the results of
their investigation. The great testimony for
us is not the song nor the star, but what they
both agree to, the finding of the child Jesus
and the saviour, our Lord Jesus, the King of
the Jews. Today, the song to the shepherds
and the star to the wise men, still lead humble,
truthful, seeking men to the manger in Bethle
hem. Men of such quality ef life -will still
offer gold, frankincense and myrrh to the one
found, that one who is still King of Kings and
Lord of Lords.
May we who live today, hear again the
song of the heavenly host, "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace among men
in whom He is well pleased." May we also be
willing to follow the star that the wise men
followed and in so doing, we shall rejoice
with exceeding great joy and shall return
glorifying and praising God. Today the wise
men, the shepherds, those of all colors, creeds
seek Him who is the prince of peace.
multitude of tho heavenly host, praising God
and saying.
Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone
away from them Into heaven, the shepherds
said, one to another, Let us now go into
Uethlehem, and sec this thing which is como
to pass, which tho Lord hath made known unto
us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary
and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, thoy made
known abroad the saying which was told them
concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those
things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all of these things, and pond
ered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and
praising God for all the things Hint they had
heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
The Christmas Story
From Luke II
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out
of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem, to be
taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being
great with child.
And so it was that while they were there
the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
And she brought forth her first born son, and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manger, because there was no room for
them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shep
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch over
their flock by night.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel of the Lord said unto them:
Fear not, for I bring you tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the 'angel a
The War Today
By D.WITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press War Analyst
THOSE seeking expert opinion on possibilities
of the German counteroffensive (and who
isn't) shouldn't overlook that both Secretary
of War Stimson and Supreme Commander Elsen
hower believe the Hitlerites may have given the
allies the chance to administer a far-reaching
defeat.
The way General Ike puts it in his historic
order of the day to his troops is that "by
rushing out from his fixed defenses the enemy
may give us the chance to turn his gamble
into his worst defeat." Colonel Stimson says
that if the German drive fails, it definitely will
shorten the war.
The colonel bases his view, as he told a press
conference, on the German offensives in 1918
towards the end of World War One. His
recollections of these momentous drives, which
all but won the conflict for the rcich, are from
first hand experience, for he was in the thick
of the show.
..
How it Happened Before
PROBABLY there are few World War veterans
who haven't had the same thought In mind,
not as wishful thinking but as a military possi
bility. Certainly there's a striking similarity
between the kaiser's never-to-be-forgotten at
tempt and the Hitlerian effort thus far. So let's
take a quick look at the 1918 drive not at
all the phases but just the initial onslaught
against the British front across the Sommc.
Had that first rush succeeded and it came
mighty close to it, the kaiser would have had
the war in a sack.
The kaiser envisaged winning the war. The
Hitlerites know they can't win but hope to
delay the allied assault and get a compromise
peace. However, the emperor also had peace
in mind, and his offensive was preceded by a
campaign of peace propaganda.
The Germans began ti eir drive under General
Ludendorff on March 21, striking on a 50-mile
front (about the same as now) along the British
line and precipitating the greatest engagement
of the war. Then as today, the Germans flung
into their effort all their resources, but the
kaiser was better off than the Hitlerites, for
Russia was finished and he didn't have to worry
about his eastern front.
Ludendorff quickly smashed the British line
on the front of the fifth army and forced it
to retire to fresh positions. Then began the
historic drive on Amiens, when the Germans
poured down the Somme valley like a flood
through a broken dyke.
Field Marshal Haig issued his famous "backs
to the wall" order to his staggering but still
dogged troops. At the height of the crisis a
brigadier named Carey scraped together a non
descript little force of cooks and what-not
including American army engineers and pre
vented a clean break-through. That" was the
beginning of the end of the kaiser's great
effort.

CHRISTMAS, 1944 .
Christmas time is here again,
Windows are bright and gay,
Beautiful gifts in every store
To give or to send away.
Children's voices filled with joy
Ring forth throughout the
land,
For each little girl and each little
. boy
Are too young to understand.
To them a Christmas means a day
Of rejoicing, laughter and fun,
Old Santa giving toys away,
A wonderful dinner well done.
But you and I know this:
That Christmas means peace
on earth,
Not a vacant chair, or a missing
face,
But a day of a Christ Child's
birth.
A Christ Child born in a manger,
A sinful world to release,
Who lived in peril and danger
That the world might live in
peace.
As the story goes, He gave His
life
That you and I might be free.
Free from sin and worldly strife,
A pardon for you and me.
This Christmas with its bright
array
..Won't be the same for me,
With so many loved ones far
away,
Whose vacant chairs we sec.
Dur loved ones are fighting a
battle,
In the air and on land and sea.
Hidst, the cannon's roar and rat
tic, They are fighting for you and
me.
On a foreign shore, in an un
known grave,
Some of our dear ones lie;
Some sleep beneath the ocean's
wave,
Some 'neath the starry sky.
No loved one near to whisper
A word of love or hope.
As war-torn souls in deep despair
Through the last dark shadows
grope.
But the scorching tears of a
mother.
As she breathes a silent prayer,
Her grief she tries to smother
As she prays for her boy out
there.
Cool, soft rain like a soothing
tear.
Soft breezes a mother's prayer,
Whisper softly a loved one is
rear
To a heart-sick boy, out there.
Each star In our window seems
to say
Th? wherever our flag Is un
furled '
A loved one prays this Christmas
Day
That peace will come lo the
world.
So until the world rings forth
its joys
And all tears are wiped away.
When we welcome home our
precious boys
Yes, that will be Christmas
Day.

THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS
When the shades turn into
shadows,
Twilight closes eventide;
When the silvery sheens of
moonlight
Gleam on the snowy hillside;
When the Christmas lights are
flickering
'Round cottages, curtains drawn,
Inside tho kiddies are dreaming
Of the joy that'eomes with the.
dawn.
The old folks chatter gaily
Around a crackling fire;
Into the night they go on dream
ing 'Til at last they begin to tire.
Softly the Christmas carols
Come closer, then slowly die
"Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie."
Then hushed to the stillness of
midnight
Thru a world of silvery spray

STAR OF MY HEART
Except the Christ be born again tonight
In dreams of all men, saints ond sons of shame :
The world will never see his kingdom bright.
Stars of all hearts, leod onward through the night
Past death-block deserts, doubts without a name,
Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin
To that far sky where mystic births begin,
Where dreaming ears the angel-song shall win,
Our Christmas shall be rare ot downing there,
And each shall find his brother fair,
Like a little child within;
All hearts of the eorth shall find new birth
And wake, no more to sin.
