A Christmas Sermoneite ..
By THE REV. J. L. MUSSELL, Pastor
Assembly of God, Nyssa, Oregon
Celebrating Christmas in the traditional American
way, our minds turn back once again to the familiar story
of the Nativity (Luke 2). The announcement by the
heavenly host, “Glory to God in the highest, on earth
peace, good will toward men,” was not so much of a pro
nouncement of peace among men, as it was of peace and
good will toward men.
The history of the world since the birth of Christ has
not been a history of peace among men; but, rather, a
history of wars. Wars, instead of growing smaller, have
rather, increased in size and destruction. Nevertheless,
the message of God to men has been one of “peace and
good will.” The message is not to any particular race or
nation, but to all races, all nations and “to all people.”
(Luke 2:10.)
God tells us that, by means of the Child born that
day, He is willing to pardon our sins, and to lead us,
through faith and repentance, to a great and lasting
peace with Himself. He wants to free us from fear and
enmity; to give our troubled consciences rest; to fill
our hearts with love to God and to our fellowmen, every
where.

. . . That all elementary stu
dents are learning to sing through
the use of music syllables?
To do this teachers are using a
homemade xylophone, construct
ed by Gary Clawson, vocal music
director, to show different “pitch
patterns.
The “pitch patterns” are drawn
on the chalk board and pointed
out as that particular pattern is
played on the xylophone. The
children will be able to recognize
these “pitch patterns” by hearing
and/or singing them.
Learning rhythms, pitch pat
terns and mechanics of music
take at least half of each lesson.
The remainder of the time is
spent singing familiar songs and
learning new ones. At this time
of year children are singing
Christmas carols.
