OHRISTMAS STORY
(Continued from Page I)
on the other hand I believe these
men were known as wise men be-
cause (1) they were out searching
for the King of the Jews; this
King who was prophesied in the
Old Testament Scriptures; this
King who had come to be the Sav-
ior of the World. (2) they were
wise for they followed the revela-
tion God gave them "the star":
to them the star was a silent
finger pointing the way which was
distinct and Zsufficient; (,3) they
were wise in that they found the
Child which was born. They
didn't give up the search even
though there were those in author-
ity Just a few miles away who
hadn't heard about HIS birth; (4)
they were wise in that they wor-
shipped this Child who was born--
The Chrlst-Child--.the King, They
personally worshipped Him and
did not depend on someone else;
they worshipped Him with their
gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh --- gold representlng tithes
and offerings; frankincense was a
gum from a tree and wlten burned
sent up a fragrance heavenward;
used in offerings in the Old Testa-
ment, could mean worship in
prayer, and praise: and myrrh
was used to-annoint the body of
Jesus at His death; it refers to
His suffering. These wise men
came in faith, giving to a suffer-
ing Savior; but before they gave
their gifts, they worshipped.
Yes, theSe were wise men. Are
ou a wise man, a wise woman?
They who are willing, like the wise
men of old, to search for God by
the rewlation Cod has given unto
us in the Bible, we too shall find
the King, our Savior, the Lord
Jeans Christ and come to know
the peace the angels declared to
the shepherds. Like the wise men
of old, we can be wise men today
by worshipping the King; by pre-
senting ourselves before Him and
by worshipping Him with our
gifts, prayers and faith Let noth-
ing stop us from worshipping God
--pleasures, employment, etc., but
might we every LJrd's Dty be
found in the place of worship,
THE CHURCHES of Shelton
and the surrounding area welcome
you to their' services every Sun-
day. I£ you fail to worship, you
fail in your family life; your
church life: the life of your com-
munity and most of all, you fail
God. God expects you to worship.
Will you fail? The wi m0n,
didn't ail. We men today wlll!
WbrsliiI God, will ydi?

OHRISTMAS STORY
(Continued from Page I)
on the other hand I believe these
men were known as wise men be-
cause (1) they were out searching
for the King of the Jews; this
King who was prophesied in the
Old Testament Scriptures; this
King who had come to be the Sav-
ior of the World. (2) they were
wise for they followed the revela-
tion God gave them "the star":
to them the star was a silent
finger pointing the way which was
distinct and Zsufficient; (,3) they
were wise in that they found the
Child which was born. They
didn't give up the search even
though there were those in author-
ity Just a few miles away who
hadn't heard about HIS birth; (4)
they were wise in that they wor-
shipped this Child who was born--
The Chrlst-Child--.the King, They
personally worshipped Him and
did not depend on someone else;
they worshipped Him with their
gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh --- gold representlng tithes
and offerings; frankincense was a
gum from a tree and wlten burned
sent up a fragrance heavenward;
used in offerings in the Old Testa-
ment, could mean worship in
prayer, and praise: and myrrh
was used to-annoint the body of
Jesus at His death; it refers to
His suffering. These wise men
came in faith, giving to a suffer-
ing Savior; but before they gave
their gifts, they worshipped.
Yes, theSe were wise men. Are
ou a wise man, a wise woman?
They who are willing, like the wise
men of old, to search for God by
the rewlation Cod has given unto
us in the Bible, we too shall find
the King, our Savior, the Lord
Jeans Christ and come to know
the peace the angels declared to
the shepherds. Like the wise men
of old, we can be wise men today
by worshipping the King; by pre-
senting ourselves before Him and
by worshipping Him with our
gifts, prayers and faith Let noth-
ing stop us from worshipping God
--pleasures, employment, etc., but
might we every LJrd's Dty be
found in the place of worship,
THE CHURCHES of Shelton
and the surrounding area welcome
you to their' services every Sun-
day. I£ you fail to worship, you
fail in your family life; your
church life: the life of your com-
munity and most of all, you fail
God. God expects you to worship.
Will you fail? The wi m0n,
