It enables us to send our voices from home to home and from country to country, but instead of using that power to beget brother hood,' we so often employ it to en gender hatred and suspicion. Six years ago at Harvard’s Tercentenary, a brilliant assemblage of scientists gathered to pool their research. It was a thrilling demonstration of the comradeship of scientists. But one wonders how many of those scientists may today be working to improve the processes of destruction. Science needs a power to safeguard its mo tives and strengthen its self- controls.

In those long night watches under the stars they had time to look into their own hearts. | They knew the unruly passions- lurk-, ing there. Could they find one to curb their wayward desires and renew aj right spirit within them? Well, the One bom in Bethlehem because the man who could talk. to a dishonest; Zaccheus and send him .out to restore his ill-gotten gains, who could look into the eyes of a soiled Magdalene and send her forth to sin no more.

Winston Churchill reports that he i Would God that we could say men was at General Haig's headquarters in August 1918, when Haig was or dering an attack upon the German line, entrenched in defenses perhaps the most superb erected during the war. As he ordered the attack, Haig said: “Now you will see what all these fortifications are. worth when troops are no longer resolved to de fend them.” And that is what the ob servers did see. The fortifications were there, the munitions were there, the German troops were there, but somthing subtle was lacking. The sol diers of the Kaiser had lost confi dence. Their morale was lowered. Material resources, are not enough, without the faith and morale to use them. And the Christ of Bethlehem, more than any other, puts faith and morale into men. - When, therefope, we go up to Beth lehem, we see this second thing that has come to pass, namely, wisdom in search of a Saviour. That is the larg er truth lying behind the story of the wise men. When, therefore, we go up .to Beth lehem, we see this second thing that has come to pass, namely, wisdom in search of a Saviour. That is the larg er truth lying behind the story of the wise men. “Let us now go even unto Bethle hem” a third time and see this thing which is come to pass. We see there shepherds looking for a Saviour. The shepherds stand at the other end of the social scale from the “wise men.” The lowly as well as the learn ed bow at the Bethlehem manger. had found peace on earth through the, Christ of Bethlehem! But, alas, after nineteen centuries men still prepare for war with avengeance never known before. Yet, this we can say also, that more men are looking to the way of Christ as the only road to peace. And this futher we can say, that they are looking to Christ’s way with more and more intelligence. The shepherds and the wise men are coming together in their allegiance to the Prince of Peace. And in that lies our Christmas hope of “Peace on Earth.” War Bond Quota $99,000 For December —The ‘Laurens coUnty war bond quota for December is $99,000.

Let us see. The shepherds wanted a Saviour who could champion their rights. It has been said that the mainspring motive of-human nature is the desire to feel oneself a person among other persons. A man wants to feel that he is somebody. And that is the feeling Christ gives to men. He always treats individuals as ends in themselves and not as means to an end. The Child of Bethlehem is the champion of the forgotten man. The shepherds wanted a Saviour who would give them not only their social rights but their self-respect. When people have been kept down a long time they tend to look down on themselves.
