In dustrialization should further this o .goal, he pointed out. b "There is no doubt that at pres- b ent," Owen said, "that economic instability and sheer poverty in parts of the world give Commu- 8 nism a foothold." c Owen's department is respon- c sible for setting up economic as sistance to undeveloped areas of the globe. The International Relations club t sponsored the talk, with the de partments of history and politicald science and the school of commerce cooperating.( Dean 8. L.

Editor' I -A t by ARHRFREL:oeprsCmite SS o .. r.. Th. nt ce t i n Y 4:. -(Art by ARTHUR FERRELL for V espers Committee) Christmas, 15 A. D. And there were in the same country shep herds.... Those numbers seem to say that human history centers in that story--at least we count our years before and after that event. At least it provides a convenient scheme for historians. Perhaps that and nothing more. Or perhaps it has been taken as the turning point. of human history because it is the turning point of religious history. There is a longer, sadder story; the story of man's religion, the history of his search for God. That is the story of hisecase.s struggle to satisfy the basic need of his human life, a struggle in which he has employed every means at his disposal-magic, sacrifice, ritual, moral law, pious worship, emotional frenzy, elaborate dogma. Even man's philosophy is the story of his intellectual struggle toward that goal. We have always sought to storm heaven and take God where he is, and we have always failed, no matter how sincere the effort-failed because we sought to have God on our terms that we might do with him as we would and use him for our purposes. hbristmas~ is a difNrent story, the story of an event which didn't fit into that history and thus was almost passed by. Perhaps it is still largely passed by for the struggle goes on while Christmas proclaims it unnecessary. Christmas Is Emmanuel, God with us. God seeking us out where we are in all the tragedy, perplexity and uncertainty of our human life. Christmas is God with us as one of us where we are, God giving himself to us and asking only that we accept the gift, asking only that we live in his presence and let him live in us. These are his terms. God with us. That is Christmas and only when it is true does Christmas come for any one of us. -Lauren E. Brubaker, Chaplain.
