BY REV ALLAN CRABTREE
Prom the standpoint ot the high-
est things in life with which people
are occupied feeling that perhaps it
is not necessary to discuss the lower
permit me to press a threefold truth
concerning right Christmas observ-
ance in the light of the angelic mes
sage which says To you is born
this day a Savior go and find and
worship Him
Here comes the call of the return-
ing Christmastide and there is no
need for anxiety concerning the
angels they do not overlook the
workshop or the pasture The first
truth is the danger that lies with
us we find sheepherding the buying
of fields or the testing of oxen so all
important that we forget to listen to
the angels wonderful message Our
hearts wax fat and our ears dull too
thick to vibrate to the glorious angelic
words which are to blend into melo
dious music when the redeemed of
every kindred and tongue and people
and nation shall sing the new song in
the ages to come saying Thou are
worthy to take the book and to open
the seals thereof for thou wast slain
ahd hast redeemed us to God by thy
blood and hast made us unto our
God kings and priests and we shall
reign on the earth
The next thing I should like to say
is let us mind our tasks but when
an angel conies with Gods message
the true answer is Let us go now
and see the thing that is come to
pass which the Lord hath made
Imowh to us The obligation to faith-
fulness in work does not preclude
worship It may be neglected when
the call to worship sounds The
greater duty supersedes the lesser for
the time Joan the shepherdess
heard faint and far the voices and
bent her soul to catch their com
mands while her sheep went wan-
dering But the enemies of France
were repulsed Let the dead bury
their dead Jesus urged speaking to
tthis same text There are men
enough in the world to care for the
ordinary obligations of life one who
has heard the call to the kingdom of
God is bound to a higher service to
which he can be disobedient only at
spiritual peril The shepherds went
in faith to see the thing that is
come to pass They answered the
cali immediately Let us go now
They went up to Bethlehem to find a
babe a person Here we too often
fail to follow in their footsteps to our
own loss We turn from work to
some religious service for our spir
i itual refreshment to some ritual or
to seek some religious experience
Probably the shepherds had an ex-
perience hearts burning within thdm
as they trudged up from the fields of
Boaz to the village but it was the
Savior they sought And they found
their guest
The Bible does not say in so many
words that the shepherds worshiped
the child as it does of the wise men
later But there is a happy transpo-
sition of the story of the Magi which
reads Those who are wise seek
Jesus to worship Him and surely
men with ears to hear and faith to
believe heavens message were wise
> jto worship While angels were wor-
shiping not singing only redeemed
sinners sing those able to behold
that adoration were not such men as
remain unbowed t
Sointo lifes moil and weariness
Christmas comes bringing again to
us a person to be a Savior and friend
The last truth to which I shall
briefly refer is that kind of work
which most invariably follows wor-
ship Shall not the shepherds with
Godgiven savings knowletjged needed
by all but possessed by no other
souls in all the world go out at once
and give their lives up to the procla-
mation of the Savior The angels are
gone the skies are silent shall they
not take up the words Behold we
brjng you good tidings No With
praise rfnd worship and an unfading
picture in their hearts they returned
to the fold in the fields of Boaz The
work they continued to do was the
same work as before the sheep they
kept the same sheep the life they
lived was the same life outwardly but
with a very different flavor Wor-
shiping the Savior is not all of life
but should flavor all life Ye are
salt said Christ to later disciples
and surqly those first believers went
back from worship to work that had
a new savor permeating every action
Work is not in ordinary life to be
renounced for or replaced by the
practice of spiritual worship The
shepherds took no vows at the man-
ger that separated them from their
work Look at the child grown to
manhood and learn more of the re-
lation ot worship and work If you
will go to Nazareth seeking Him you
will ilad Him at work He was a
s
= 7 1
man working every day and the rou > >
tine of Hi s tasks Had faithful atten-
tion The Father seemed to say Most
men must work Jesus shall work
shall have just the lot of most men
What was the result This is my
beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased the Father said when Jesus
entered upon His public ministry at
His baptism at work He pleased
God And that is the ultimate goal
Men go you back this Christmas
from the Bethlehem manger back
from your finding of Christ to your
work but please God Women go
back from your worship to the every-
dayness of life patiently back to the
fold and care for the lambsbut please
God By taking the newfound Sa-
vior with you you can do it And
Het will gladly go In this way most
men and women are expected to wor-
ship and work as they behold the two
over the earth with them
I will close with the last promise
and the last prayer recorded in the
Bible He which testifieth these
things saith surely I come quickly
Amen Even so come Lord Jesms

Edited By the Pupils
A letter from Dr Shurter of the
School of Public Speaking of the
State University receivedlast week
by Prof Jacobs informed him that
so many replies had been received
favoiing the organization of a High
School Debating League in Texas
about which a letter was received by
Prof Jacobs a short time ago that
in order to avoid further delay in get-
ting started a constitution is being
prepared which will be sent as soon
as possible to all affiliated schools A
has already been worked out by iistt
plan T
which the state is divided into ten
districts with reference to the distri
aspects o f His first advent first at button of schools railroad facilities
Bethlehem for incarnation second at etc Each district is designated by a
Calvary for atonement Also the town or city as its center and Pales
blessed hope of His second advent tine has been chosen as such a cen
which will have two phases First ter Dr Shurter also requests that
His coming into the upper air for His Prof Jacobs serve as director of this
own second His coming to reign district The general rules and reg
ulations of the league will be con-
tained in the constitution XJ is
hoped and believed that such a league
will do much for the High School and
both the Boys Debating Society and
the Athena Literary Society have en
tered heartily into the plan
The Debating Society held its reg
ular bimonthly meeting Friday De-
cember 9 After all business had
been attended to the debate proceed-
ed the subject being Resolved
That New Orleans and no San Fran-
cisco should be the place for the Pan-
ama Exposition to be held in 1915
Prof King said that this was the
best debate the society has had since
its oiganization The question for
the next debate is Resolved That
the United States should have as
large a navy as any other nation
John Teanier as leader with X Hal
porn and Jeff Duncan as assistants is
to defend the affirmative while Lio-
nel Heafer with Hunter Price and
Robert Hodges as assistants will up-
hold the negative
