Recently, the doctors gave up a first Christmas, the prophet Isaiah said that the troubles of the world never could be alleviated until the world was led by a just ruler whom he called ‘‘The Prince of Peace.” For seven hundred years no such man appeared, but the world lived in hope. When Christ did come it was easy to believe that He was The Sa vior. Thousands who walked the streets of Israel saw Him, recognized miracles as His and put their faith in the man whose existence and pow er they could not doubt because they I saw Him and His works with their 1 1,, 1 '""" "‘oLSt. ILlif , d ? 1 ?‘ ,e own eves I a11 thls P rofessional judgment there But because mankind did not uni-1 iL'™fuLT'' 7 ' Ev t, n versaily accept Him, He left this the pr0f “ sl0nal men adm " “ mul;h - in this way.

But now, when science gives up hope, I still hold hope. I believe, earth, to remain here only in spirit and only for those who had faith in His omnipotence. And now, almost two thousand years later, mankind still lives in hope—hope that He will continue to penform His miracles for mankind even if He does not return in body. In the two thousands years since “Yes,” they say, “of course, there is always a chance anything might happen.” This “chance” they speak of, this “anything”—that is God. i I do not know just who God is and what His purpose might be.

Although it took the illness of someone beloved to bring this home | to me, I first had an inkling of this | I some time ago, once when I was very 1 sick myself. They thought I had TB. I was in ( 1 a ward with TB patients, and they' ; were getting ready to take me to a 1 sanitarium. In those days there' wasn’t any talk of a permanent cure —the best you could hope for was an “arrested development.” If you! took it easy, you might be able to last for a few more years. It was a black future lor a person used to the active life of a newspa perman. Yet somehow I never de spaired. With the cold impersonal detachment of a journalist I could not help being fully aware that logi-; cally the odds were against me, yet I kept telling myself, “Even so, I am J going to get well, completely well.i So what if no one else ever has? There always can be a first time ” I didn’t know it, but I was tur»- ing to God. ! As it developed, tfie trouble with my lung wasn’t TB. So you might say that I was saved by a quirk off 1 luck. But I’ve seen men picked up, from the battlefield for whom all! hope had been abandoned, defy all; the laws of medicine and surgery and remain among the living. I I’ll admit that waiting for tragedy to strike is finding God the hard way and that the finding may hdve been prompted by desperation. But when I you find this blessed aolace, which { surpasses all understanding, then it I becomes a solid, serene thing. It' is wonderful to know that, no ! matter how terribly dreary and | hopeless the outlook may be, all ; things are possible. It is blessed to! be told that something tragic is bound to happen and yet to be able to hold j out hope that it might not be. It isn’t a question of kidding your self. You might lose the first round j and the second and the third, you might even lose a few full-scale bat- l ties—and yet, against all odds and disappointments, still have that' flame of hope burning surely and j steadily inside of you. I haven t come to grips with death yet, but I know now that there can be hope and solace even when it shows up. There is always the vision, 1 regardless of what science has or hasn’t proved, of another world, an other time in space. Science has to rely on its substance for algebraic figures and symbols, .but it is enough 1 | if only the hope in you, the God in you, tells you something. I know this is odd talk from a de vout follower oi science, a man who believes in the concepts and theories of logically worked-out formulas. I am still a man of science. Only wiser. And like the Three Wise Men from 1 the East, when Christmas comes this year I will follow the sound of the church bells, just as they followed the lights of the Star of Bethlehem, vJiever relaxing my hope that some day all people will welcome the Prince of Heace as the absolute ruler of mankind. -t _ DISCOMFORTS ^q t i - 3S F Par Bottls 'Y Our organization is dedicated to the growth, progress and betterment of our city and community.
