6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 20, 1989 COMMUNITY Christmas renews our faith in goodness Another Christmas—the self- same stars in the night sky over- head, the same pleasant scent of pine and fir needles, the flashing colored lights, a blazing fire in the fireplace, the frosty air and the traditional carols played on radio and TV. The decorated Christmas tree, the stockings hanging from their regular spot. The same mouthwa- tering odor of holiday baking fills the air and the same Christmas bowl is filled with cookies. Tis the same but not the same. Three small red stockings fill the place where once hung a large red stocking. Life goes on, children grow to manhood and put away childish things, weary eyes close gratefully on Christmas past. The high tide of the year washes upon the shores of memory, bring- ing with it the sands of forgetful- ness, washing away bitterness, filling the heart with the aware- ness that it has all happened be- Back Mountain glimpses By Charlot M. Denmon fore, and that it will all happen again. For one brief moment all men are brothers and all time is one. It is the time to reaffirm our childhood belief that the world is beautiful, that bright and happy times are in the future, that love envelops us and that tradition has joined a link between the past and the present, that all things are possible. It has happened before—for one magic moment the babe who lies warm in his crib is the babe in the manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, the babe for whom there is no room in the inn. We see a great light and we wonder how we could have forgot- ten, in the rustle and bustle of preparation that this is the Eve of promise. It has happened before— today, yesterday, thousands of years ago and in the dawn of time. The miracle of birth, life where there was no life. The children with clear eyes shining, eagerness undaunted by foreboding, looking to their parents to make the world a universe where they may walk unafraid. As adults we look back on our childhood when all wisdom, good- ness, all things bright and beauti- ful were symbolized by our fathers and mothers, keepers of the keys. The eternal triangle, foundation of life. Today, yesterday, at the dawn of time—"Behold, I show you a mys- tery. Christ was born then, now and forever.” CHRISTMAS SHOW - Cast members shown in photo are, from left, first row, Heather Adams, Renee Zeglin; second row, Paul Deeble, Beth Ann Delescavage; third row, Andy Johnson, Erin Johnson, Matt Sleightholm.
