Religious- | ly, they are content to keep the Christ- | mas child in swaddling clothes all of their lives—and all His life. If it were only that a child were | born there would be no Christmas in 1938, or in any other year. The great thing about the occasion that Christ- mas celebrated is that the child who was born in the stable lived a normal life, and as Luke tells us, he ‘increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.’ He grew up and became an adult. It was as an adult that he lived the life which altered history and which should be for the encouragement of us all. Therefore, fundamental to any Christmas celebra- tion is the fact that the child became the man whose life story is in our Gospels. His influence ana our greatest im- petus to the Christian faith spring directly from his adult life. And while at Christmas we may grow kindly as we gather about the cradle, the help- less spirit of infancy was not the source of Jesus’ influence. The great leader, the valiant crusader, the bearer of burdens, the giver of His life—all of these are of the man. So while at Christmas we remember the beginning of the life, let us not forget to celebrate the greater thing which is the contin- uation and the well wrought conclusion of that life. The Christmas Child does not even speak our language; he does not.dis- turb the deep springs of our motives. But when he becomes a man he says: ‘Follow mé¢. ‘Blessed are ihe pure in heart.’ ‘Go and sin no more.’ ‘Fatner, forgive inem.’ These are life-changing words. They are the keen insights of complete ma- turity. Many would tnat they might never hear them, coming as they do from the man. Rather they would see only the vague, winsome smile of the child, a lovely child, whose inarticu- late sounds tug at every human heart. As a man, walking about in our busy marts of commerce, frequenting the legislative assemblies and committee rooms where national policies and in- ternational relations are decided, he is — re —— <r e CE com CAMBRIA MERC.

On civil liberties and workers’ rights the CIO will press for a program to out law the use oi the National Guard in labor disputes, for the strict con- trol of private strikebreaking agencies and supplies of munitions for use ag- ainst strikers. In this connection the CIO will al- so press for an increase in the appro- priations for the LaFollette Committee and for the establishngnt of a per- manent civil liberties bureau.

I Cor. 13:11. | We are glad to give you, in part, this | post-Christmas message by Dr. Fred- | erick M. Meek. It is interesting, in- | structive, thought provoking, heart- searching and inspirational. “Over many generations we have brought a magnificant tribute in wor- | ship to the Child of Bethlehem, thru | story, song and picture. We have been strongly drawn by the power of those narrative stories in Matthew and Luke which tell of the birth of the Child. And at the Christmas season we ga- | ther in adoration about the cradle at { ‘Bethlehem. Many of us find here, as | we should, the animating spirit for | Christmas deds of love and good will. | As we bring our adoration to the | manger, we sing, ‘O Come, let us ad- ore him! Carols echo from church to church around the world as Christ- before the newborn Child. This is the occasion when we Christ- ian people bring a full measure of devotion into the sanctuary. But there is nothing that would be more startling and even humiliating than that in the midst of our Christ- mas adoration the child should appear in our midst, full grown, and matured into manhood and say: ‘You give me this adoration. Let me take you at your word. Come and companion with me!’ I know of no greater tragedy than the fact that these words would pro- duce utter amazement and confusion. We Christian people have taken toward parents say of their children, ‘ Oh, I wish they always would remain small. for they are so lovable then! Such an attitude followed to its lo- gical conclusion would deny the child a chance to fulfill his destiny, to grow into adulthood and maturity. Always when a child grows up a new set of personal relationships is involved. For there is a great difference between dealing with an infant and dealing with a child grown to manhood. The quality of an individual's personality can usually be determined by how he treats the child as he grows and ma- tures, and by what he hopes for the child in that adult future. A recent magazine had a cartoon picturing an adnlt man seated on the knee of a department store Santa |, Claus while a group of gaping chil- dren stood around. The complacent, ‘It has been such a struggle, but we lief” That attitude of refusing to al- place at the county convention of del- egates recently selected by the var- often an unwelcome companion, whose right of admittance is even questioned. We have adoration for the child and we lend an ear that we may hear “the herald angels sing” But meanwhile we neglect with blatant assurance the Sermon on the Mount, which is the distilled wisdom of the man after he had come to maturity. There are people in our day who say we have outgrown Jesus. But if we know him as a man on our streets, talking to us as an equal about how we live and do business, about how we govern the nation and live in a compiex and interdependent world, we realize that we have never outgrown Him. Our society balks at rouowing the man even though it is willing to com- mercialize the child's birth. There is a conspiracy against His growing up and coming to a man’s estate amongst us. That is the last thing in the uni- verse that this world of ours wants. It knows too well the truth of what Whitehead says, that if we took this man at his word, this life of ours ~would be unrecognizable in a fortnight Moreover, the world about us does not want you and me to grow up ana come to the maturity of an adult Christian life. It wants our Christian living to remain on the child level, without any initiation into the mys- teries of the adult world where we dc our business and carry on our con- cerns of living—where, it is said, the ‘children—Christian children—should be seen and not heard’ Let us remember these two senten- ces from our New Testament: And Je- sus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man, ‘When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child, 1 thought as a child; but when I Dbe- came a man, I put away childish things.” A friend told me that some years ago he saw two advertisements next to each other in the ‘help wanted’ col- umns in the New York World. The advertisements were these: ‘Wanted— a man to impersonate Santa Claus.’ ‘Wanted—a man for a blood transfus- ion. The world stands in need of some- thing far more fundamental than a Santa Claus, a Christmas dinner and a Christmas stocking. This world of ours is ill—desperately ill. More than anything else it needs a blood trans- fusion — a blood transfusion from the vigorous life of the Man of Nazareth, particularly after it has been trying to commit suicide with wars, and ill reg- ulated, wasteful, commercial strife, and racial conflicts and social struggles. Blood transfusions must come from the Man of Nazareth, not from the Babe in the cradle. And our world needs, too, blood transfusions from the followers of the Man, followers who are full grown, mature Christian individuals, and not children of the ensburg.

But as long as our society keeps the child in the Bethlehem cradle, as long as we deny the child a chance to grow to maturity, as long as we remain chil- dren in the faith ourselves, just so long will there be no healing, no final re- covery from the ills that beset us in our world. While at the Christmas season we may bring our adoration to the Babe of Bethlehem, let us never forget that that adoration is as nothing unless we bring a full measure of service to the Man whom we call Christ.
