A S THIS IS written we are In
the middle of Christmas deco
rating. 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!

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.
Modern research has developed!
a new time clock, which uses thnj
principle of radioactivity. Wood
samples can be radioactively dated
back as far as 4,600 years.
