"Let us go even unto Bethlehem' and see this which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us." Sbe followed and, when she beheld the Wis* men gathered at the inn, and saw therm present gifts of gold, frankinsense and myrrh to the ChUd and Mother, she hung her head1 timidly back on the edge of the crowd, for her hands were empty. The look of joy on the face of the Mother and Babe filled her with wonder, and she longed to show her love. Having nothing to offer, she turned away and went silently out into the starry night on across the silent hills of Judea. As she journeyed towards tho flock, a Ught suddenly shown about her and a low, sweet voice said "Little one, why do you carry sorrow ia your heart?" The child answered, "Because I could carry no joy to the Child of Bethlehem." The spirit, whose robe was like molten silver and whose locks were like the sun, waved a lily and suddenly the ground wa* white with with Christjmas roses. The chUd knelt and filled her arms with flowers, then hastened again to the inn, where people madq way for her, looking with wonder at the burden she bora As she reached the manger the Holy One, turned from the gold of the magi, reached1 forth His tiny hands for the blossoms and smiled as tiie shepherds heaped them about HAPPENINGS 30 YEARS AG of the black hel- ristmas rose, as relat- on the medival Chrsbmasses in the centuries of tile past. PLANNING FOR TOURISTS Secretary of Commerce Richard P. Brown has urged Pennsylvania's cities, towns and resort areas to lay their plana during the winter to entertain larger numbers of tourists during 1940. "It is the domestic resorts which will tare the American travelers next year—and some from foreign Countries too," Secretary Brown said. "Pennsylvania is increasingly becoming the mecca for tourists who seek historic and scenic cities and recreational facilities. The closing season when tourists spent $400,- 000,000 in this atate, has proved that ta larger measure than ever before. "But, if conditions remain unsettled abroad, Pennsylvaia may expect in 1940 to see a greater influx of travelers than the most optomistic can anticipate now. "Every commiufnity in the State has its attractions for these visitors. For that reason, I hope every ccimmunity will organize ita own publicity program, to teU the story of its own recreation advantages and scenic historic attractions to the tourists eager to visit them.

There will be no evening service thus giving many the opportunity to spend Christmas eve at the fire side. At the Sunday school session at 9.30 there will be * Christmas program with illuminated tree and each scholar will receive a Christmas gift*. m * a i—Here is hoping that everybody will have a merry and happy Christ- little boy or girl will go to sleep dreaming of Christmas. ",'.'': Some of those dreams will come true. Seme of them won't. But everyone of you mothers and fathers ore going to do your level best to sec that as many of them come true a? possible. No sacraficing is too great, no burden to heavy, If Christmas morning brings no shadow of heartbreak to those stringing eyes; But as you tuck that little kid sway in bed tonight, ask yourself tliis— Could your Christmas be merry if your car struck down some other boy or girl—some man or women hurrying home yith a toy train, a teddy bear, a drum. Could your Christmas be endurable if a brief moment of carelessness on yciur part brought tragedy or suffering to your loved ones? In thousands of American homes last year there was a vacant chair at the Christmas table—an empty crib on Christmas eve. Here, the winking lights of a Christmas tree will ever be a mockery—a youngster's laugh a stab. To you who seek to make those Christmas dreams come true, the National Safety Council says: Be careful. Don't let traffic traffic tragedy mor your Christmas. PEACE ON EARTH Could the angels sing again "Peace on earth, good will toward men" To this world of sin and woe— As they did so long ago— On that far Jddean hill. Where some shepherds - in the chill Of the night, watched o'er their sheep While the world was wrapped in mmtjpj And a light from heaven shone Round about them—there alone— And a blessed angel said Unto them; "Be not afraid... Tidings of great joy I bring— Christ is born—our Savior King, And a host of angels sang— Loud their neaValy music rang. And methinks the echo still Is resounding, and the thrill And joy of that Christmas Day Truly, ne'er shall fade away.

",'.'': Some of those dreams will come true. Seme of them won't. But everyone of you mothers and fathers ore going to do your level best to sec that as many of them come true a? possible. No sacraficing is too great, no burden to heavy, If Christmas morning brings no shadow of heartbreak to those stringing eyes; But as you tuck that little kid sway in bed tonight, ask yourself tliis— Could your Christmas be merry if your car struck down some other boy or girl—some man or women hurrying home yith a toy train, a teddy bear, a drum. Could your Christmas be endurable if a brief moment of carelessness on yciur part brought tragedy or suffering to your loved ones? In thousands of American homes last year there was a vacant chair at the Christmas table—an empty crib on Christmas eve. Here, the winking lights of a Christmas tree will ever be a mockery—a youngster's laugh a stab. To you who seek to make those Christmas dreams come true, the National Safety Council says: Be careful. Don't let traffic traffic tragedy mor your Christmas. PEACE ON EARTH Could the angels sing again "Peace on earth, good will toward men" To this world of sin and woe— As they did so long ago— On that far Jddean hill. Where some shepherds - in the chill Of the night, watched o'er their sheep While the world was wrapped in mmtjpj And a light from heaven shone Round about them—there alone— And a blessed angel said Unto them; "Be not afraid... Tidings of great joy I bring— Christ is born—our Savior King, And a host of angels sang— Loud their neaValy music rang. And methinks the echo still Is resounding, and the thrill And joy of that Christmas Day Truly, ne'er shall fade away.
