“And, the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people: For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord."
Today, many people do not know the real significance of Christ
mas. I has become so commercialized in the past years that
our younger generation have never learned that Christmas is
for Christ. They will never know either if our adults continue to
teach Santa Claus and not Christ at Christmas.
What really makes a Christ-like Christmas in an American
home? Let's tour a few of the average homes in America today
and see if your home finds a place in one of the classifications.
First, there are people that actually hate Christmas, These
people do not know that Christmas is for Christ. As we enter
their home we find a fewChristmas gifts. There are no Christmas
decorations and no Christmas tree. The family dreads the thought
of buying gifts for Mary and Tom. Christmas is just another day
in their house.
Secondly, we enter a home that is beautifully decorated. The
Christmas tree is surrounded by gifts. Santa Claus is expected
to bring bicycles, guns, balls, trains, and anything a child would
want. This home did know the meaning of Christmas but com
mercial values have destroyed their love for Christ. The
children are not thankful for their gifts. They wonder why all of
their wishes were not fulfilled.
Third, there is that home that really presents a happy Christ
mas feeling. There is aChristtnas tree in the window with several
gifts around the tree. Santa Claus is expected soon to bring one
or two nice gifts for the kids, just enough to make them really
thankful and happy. Gifts are sent only to children of families
that will have no Christmas. This family has a deep love for
Christ and think of others at Christmas.
Fourth, we find another home that presents aChrist-like Christ
mas. These people are not financially able to spend money on
Christmas decorations, gifts and all the Christmas trimmings.
They enjoy Christmas together and worship Christ and-not Santa
Claus at Christmas. Gifts are not important to this family even
if they were able to buy them.
Let’s change our homes at Christmas throughout this yule-
tide season. Give to those that need, help those that are weary,
and above all, thank God for sending His Son on that Christmas
Day.
And so on thisChristmas, may we all hear the song of the angels
in our hearts, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.”

Hobbs Announce
New Postal'Rate
Reminding area citizens of
the forthcoming new postal rate
structure effective January 7,
the Postmaster listed these
highlights of the rate legisla
tion enacted recently by Con
gress.
The increase over which the
"man in the street" is most
concerned is the one-cent hike
in letter rates.
First class mail: surface -
letters, five cents an ounce;
postal and post cards, six
postal and post cards, four
cents. Air: letters, eight cents;
post cards, six cents.
Included in the "first class"
category is the so-called “drop
letter." The rate will go from
chree cents to four cents an
ounce. Postal regulations
designate this type of mail as
letters "dropped" at a post of
fice by the sender and picked
up by the addressee at the same
post office. It is used mostly
by patrons in rural areas where
mail delivery service is not
available and mail .is picked up
at the post office.
Often thought of by the user
as "first class" but actually
in "third class" category are
“greeting cards." Used mostly
at Christmas time, this type
of mail will cost four cents
when the new rates become ef
fective January 7.
pnn Walker, a forward on the
basketball team, is a 14 year
old freshman at Butler. He
likes to fish, to swim and to
play the piano, but his favorite
hobby is to work with his radio
set. He is a member of the
4-H. Phil plans to attend
college to study to be an elec
tronics engineer.
Butier Baptist
Family Night
Held Wednesday
The members of the Butler
Baptist Church held their an
nual family night at Christmas
on Wednesday at the Commu
nity House. In remembering
the true meaning of Christmas
and attempting to help the little
ones enjoy the spirit and love
of giving rather than receiving,
the group had a White Christ
mas.
After a buffet style dinner,
the children were asked to
bring their gifts and place them
under the tree to be given to
others. In addition, clothing
and food was added to the pro
ject.
Rev. Walter R. Evans gave
the Christmas devotional and
the group enjoyed singing
carols.
CHURCH OF THE
NAZARENE TO
PRESENT DRAMA
A Biblical drama, "Glory to
God," will be presented at the
Church of the Nazarene on Sun
day night, December 23, at
7:30.
“Glory to God" depicts the
story of some of the events
of the Christmas story. It
presents the expectation of the
people for the coming of the
Messiah.
The greed of the innkeeper
and his refusal to provide a
place for Mary and Joseph is
presented vividly. His chief
purpose was to make money,
and therefore he refused the
couple a place because they
were far beneath the scale by
which he measured men. How
ever, he realizes his sin and
does repent. Larry Almgren
plays the part of the innkeeper,
and Sharon Bohler is the inn
keeper's wife.
Other members of the cast
are Ben Neisler, a Bethlehem
merchant; and Christine Neis
ler, the merchant’s wife. Their
sons, Phil Walker and Sammy
Almgren, are the two shep
herds. Roy Bohler portrays
the part of an old man who has
little faith in the people of his
day. The Angel is Virginia
Blakely.
The public is cordially in
vited to attend this presenta
tion of the Christmas story.
College Students
Entertained At
Butler High
Former students of the But
ler High School, now attending
college, were invited to be
guests of the school on Wednes
day for lunch and to discuss
problems and solutions that they
face in their respective schools.
The purpose of the meeting was
to determine if the curriculum
offered the students is adequate
to meet the needs of the average
student who leaves the high
school and enters college.
The group met with the prin
cipal and guidance counselor
to suggest ways and means of
improving the curriculum to fill
any gaps they had found in their
high school education that might
help others graduating from the
school and attending colleges.
Approximately 30of the visit
ing college students attended
the meeting.
“Deck the Halls”
Expressing the merriment
of Christmas, "Deck the Hall
with Boughs of Holly” is an
English carol set to an old
Welsh air. It refers to such
ancient traditions as the
“blazing Yule” log.
