The birth of Christ into such a world explains why “His own received Him not.” Yet this birth marked the beginning of the Christian revolution which spread after the nationalism of the Jews and the opportunism of the Ro mans had first nailed Christ to the Cross. In His death humanity was reborn, and thus became wholly transformed. The code of ethical and re ligious principles which Christ’s coming and teaching established gave a new soul to society and made the things of earth subject lo the things of heaven, just as His own nature of Man-God re linked humanity to Divinity, the ephemeral to the eternal. The fi nal end of reborn humanity is not changeable public welfare but unchangeable, eternal life. Peace through justice and love helped solve the problem of slav ery of old by implanting a new spirit in society. That same spi rit of Christ can alone find a so lution in our day for the prob lems of exchange, sharing of wealth, freedom and disarma ment. “They (the works of thy hands) shall perish, but Thou shalt continue; and they shall grow old as a garment and as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed but thou are the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.” G eor gia-C arolina Warehouse And Many a man has failed because he turned down real opportuni ties and hung on to a long-shot.

Augusta, Ga HENRY T. JONES, Prop. An exact evaluation of the state of humanity at this Christ mas time of 1957 compared with its state in the days of Christ’s birth and His time is not possi ble. But we can discover the same kind of indifference and active hatred for the Savior of the world today as it existed nearly 20 cen turies ago. The evil of secularism is only the cloak that disguises the en emies of Christ. It is an e v i 1 which limits itself to the human here and now in exclusion of man’s relation to God here and hereafter. It would accept a new born Christ if He were man only and not also God. It excludes God from human thinking and living and breeds both extreme individualism and atheistic com munism. In the moral life of the indi vidual, expediency rather than responsibility to God is the norm. Family life, too, is blighted through contraception, divorce and neglect of the educative func tion of the family.
