We can hardly picture a world without Christ and the Christmas story. And yet it is only as we think back to accounts of a world with out Christmas that we can real ize what ,the coming of Jesus meant to the world. Much has been said about the materializing and the paganizing of Christmas. It is true that for many persons Christmas is mere ly a joyous festival, with little relation to the first Christmas or Jhe Christ. " But only those get the time joy of Christmas whq celebrate it as the birthday of the Babe who came to manifest the divine in the human, to live our earthly life that He might bring us near to God. - ~ - But no forgetfulness of God, or violence of men, can wipe out th« reality of the holy birth in Beth lehem, or the glory that sur rounded the manger there. ’ *- Within the next two weeks *ll who will may journey across the centuries to the outbuildings oi an bumble inn.
