Show Christmas Messages From Religious Leaders In The Basin ' ANOTHER YEAR CHRISTMAS AND CHRIST As 1956 draws to a close, and we enter the Christmas Season, we pause to take a quick look at the immediate past. In it we see we are a blessed people with many many things to be thankful for. We live in a land of freedom and plenty, where "Liberty is our slogan; and each and every individual has the right to exercise his free agency. n We have the right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. Our country permits Freedom of Speech and a Free Press, making it possible for people to express themselves without fear of reprisal. We are blessed with good schools, churches, clubs, civic organizations and all tend toward making life more enjoyable with no thought of being dictator. subject to a king or a power-ma- d Our children have a future which they can make and call their own! Their limitations are controlled only by their own desire to' succeed. One of our greatest blessings is the promise that we will never have a king rule over us as long as we worship God, our Eternal Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ. This is a most comforting thought and can be realized by our obedience to His Law. As we proceed through the Christmas Season, lets remeber to keep Christ in Christmas and honor and love our neighbors as His brothers and sisters and the Eternal Children of God, the Father, that we may remain a Free People for ever and ever. This is the; prayer of the Roosevelt Stake Presidency. EZRA J. NIXON - PAUL MURPHY E. DWAIN BUCHANAN - JOSEPH E. OLPIN Year after year the trees grew in the woods. The holly berries glowed red; the mistletoe gleamed white in the tree tops; but no one paid any tion to them. That was before the Christ came. God saw the sin and sorrow that were upon the earth. He heard little children, and even grown men and women weeping, because they were trying to be good and knew not how. So He decided to come to earth, not in his royal robes of splendor, but as a little child to be born, grow and teach them the way of life and give them life eternal Thus it happened. Out of Nazareth came Joseph, the carpenter, and with him Mary, his wife, to Bethlehem to be taxed. There while Angels sang on the hillsides, the Saviour came. Mary wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in the manger. Into the silent night the sheperds hastened, till they came to Bethlehem; and there, in the stable, above which stood the Star, they found the Babe lying in a manger. Thus was kept the first Christmas, wilh carols by the Angels in Heaven, and Gods own Son, the Saviour of the world coming as a Christmas gift for all mankind. Some thirty years later this Gift to man was hung on the tree on Golgothas hill there to redeem a lost and dying world. Salvation was a gift to mankind. The Angels sang "Peace On Earth. Christ said, "My Peace I Leave With Thee. When we receive this gift of all gifts, then can we know the ' real joy of Christmas and the "Peace That Surpassed All Understanding. FERRIS D.

On the first Christmas night the humble shepherds were led by the Star the liaht in the sky to the stable at Bethlehem. There they found the Infant Saviour wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. God has set a Star the light of your Holy Catholic Faith to shine in your sky and lead you to the Altar of Christ on His Birthday. There can be no true spirit of Christmas in your home unless the Spirit of Jesus Christ is in your soul. Christmas, (really Christs Mass), without Christ is no Christmas at all 3 Christmas draws near, prepare to confess your sins and to receive your Infant Lord in Holy Communion on Christmas. Then you will enjoy that blessed happiness which is found only in the light of an Holy Catholic Faith by souls in the State of Grace. Then and then only, by showing God that your are of Good Will, will you find true "Peace On Earth. Try to attend all three Masses on Christmas. Sincerely Yours In Christ, . FATHER FRANCIS B. PELLEGRINO, PASTOR, ST.' HELENS CATHOLIC CHURCH At this time of the year we are inclined to look back upon the accomplishments of the year just closed. We feel inclined to take stock of ousleves and determine honestly the degree of our progress in things worthwhile. We ask ourselves where were we at the beginning of last year and where are we now? This question we ask of our spiritual experiences, of our intellectual pursuits and of our financial affairs. As we look ahead with a New Year unfolding before us, let us trust sincerely that there is born in every Latter-Da- y Saints heart a greater determination to do the will of the Lord. Let us love Him with all our hearts, not forgetting that to love God is to love our fellowmen. Christmas is a glorious time of the year. It is a time when our hearts are turned to our Saviour, the Prince of Peace, in whose honor the day has been set apart. To you, our beloved members, we extend our Greetings, our love and blessings in this season of good will and giving. We give our thanks to the Lord and send our heartfelt appreciation to our brethren and sisters and fellow workers in His Church, for your loyal devotion to the great cause in which we have the honor and privilege to labor. May God bless your home and loved ones with plenty of the good things of life health, happiness and enduring friendship.
