The boys are screaming, the wife is demanding I stop writ ing this column and hand her ornaments. Grandmother is shout ing her advice, and the two cats are chasing the dog around the living room like mad. In addition, the radio is going full blast. It seems to be a murder story and the boy in anticipation of the gun shots just threw two ornaments against the wall to give the noise a more realistic blast I am continuing to ignore the noise. The wife is on a stepladder at the moment and it is rocking like the masts of a schooner under a gale. TIMBER! There she goes. She’s up again and grandmother is screaming that she’s going to have a nervous breakdown. The dog and cats have just re versed their chasing. He is after them. There. They’re safe on the mantle. Oh boy! Pocahontas—the mother cat—has just knocked off one of those ugle vases I have been wanting to throw away for years. The wife is diving for it Ah—she missed. Grandmother has just retreated to her room and slammed the door. The house will shake for another two minutes at least. The living room looks like a cyclone has hit it. But. they're having a good time This sure is a happy season of the year MERRY CHRISTMAS! VICTORS MEET . . . PhiUppine president-elect Ramon Magsassay (left), recent landslide winner, greets world’s heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano in Manila. Rocky is making Exhi bition tour through Far West. Rev. Robert H. Harper God Revealed in Christ. Lesson for January 3, 1934: John l: 14-23, 29-36. Golden Text: fbbn 20: 31. It is the wish of the writer that every reader will come this New Year into a larger knowledge of the Father’s will. In this first study of the year, nothing could be better than the text which tells us of the revelation of God to men through Christ. John, In many respects difsimi- lar to the other Gospel writers loved to write of the mystery o Christ’s person. He used the Greek word, “logos/* spelling it with e capital, to be a name for Jesus Christ. Logos means word and John thus called Jesus the Word. Words have had a great part in the achievements of men. A word is a sign of a thought, whether it be in the small brain of a savage or the brain of one in "the fore most files of time/* It is by words that men communicate with one another. So Jesus is the revelation of God to men, the Eternal Word. While John w— preaching in the wilderness, he proclaimed Jesus as the long-promised Christ and in vited men to give their lives to him. Bpt there came a greater witness than that of John. The Spirit like a dove descended from heaven to abide upon Jesus. And the next day John, looking upon Jesus as he walked, said to two disciples who had come to him. “Behold the Lamb of God!’’ From these things we learn that God manifested himself to m£n in Jesus Christ, He became the Son of man that men through him might become the sons of God May we find Christ the answer to our deepest needs.

New Year’s Day Was Not Always On January 1 New Year’s was not always cele brated on January 1. In fact, even today New Years comes on different dates for some peoples. Prior to September 14, 1752, England and hdr colonies regard ed January 1 with indifference be-, cause New Year’s day was ob««i served on March 25. Today, many people who con tinue to use the Gregorian calendar still solemnize traditional feasts, including New Year, op different days. The Gregorian calendar was not presented to the world until 1582 by Pope Gregory XIIL The Jews observe a 10-day New Year season at the time of the au tumn equinox, beginning on Rosh Hashana and ends on Yom Kippur. The Moslem calendar (dating from 626, A. D.) has 12 months of! the year that begin with the ap proximate new moon without any intercalation to keep them geared to the seasonal equinoxes. As a re*' suit New Years and months r»* trograde through the entire year in about 33% years. Jewish Calendar Now Reads 5715 The Jewish calendar, which th# 1 Jews adopted during the 15th cea- tury, reads 5715 in relation to 1954 A. D. Use of the notation A, D. wa»j inaugurated by Charles III of Gerwj many, who affixed the symbolisng! to the years of his reign in 879. Apparently the Egyptians wern the first to figure out any “exact** measurement of time. - They de-j vised their calendar about 4,00(1: B. C. After the calendar, they* turned their attention to estimat ing dates of the “beginning” and the Mundane era of Alexander' fixed that estimate at 5502 B. C.
