LET'S PRACTICE
~~ WHAT WE PREACH
We now approach the eve of
Christmas?the epoch remembered
by all civilized people around the
world. It commemorates a per
iod in a Bible story unequalled
in moaning, joy and happiness by
the records of any of the saints,
prophets and sages \vho camp and
wont?it commemorates the birt>
orf the Xazarene?the Savior of
the world.
"Peace on earth, good will to
ward all men," is echoed from sea
to sea. Voices singing in choirs
and over radios all pay tribute
feelingly to the peculiar birth of
the Babe of Bethlehem. These glcr
rious songs will always be sung
. and more and more shall we ap
preciate th0 work of the Redeem '
er as we go down the ages of
time.
However finely w6 sing, and
thp great impressions we. make ~
with music, prayers and sermons,
let Us resolve to practice what we
sing and preach. We need "peace
cm earth and good will toward all 1
men." we s'mg, pray and preach
may our souls b(, renewed; may
we become closer friends and be'
ter neighbors; may we become
rcofivertod and be indoctrinated
in spirit nn<i nrtiun with tin- piar , .
ticiT oFThp Golden Rule?"Do un
to other men as we would have
them do unto us." May we make
friendg of enemies and put qui
theories into practice. For GodV
sake! Let us begin jnoje and more
to practice what \ye preach. Thi.
is a grit to society which w C 1and
it has a -greater value than
the thousands being spent 'thi?.
week for Christmas gifts.
