IN WINTER
CHRISTMAS CAROLS—
Warm things I've loved
In winter cold,
My blossoming plants,
The firelight gold.
The story of the shepherds on
the hillsides of Galilee and of the
wise men who journeyed to the
little town of Bethlehem seeking
the Christ Child, is being sung
and recited in elaborate pageantry
throughout Christendom. But the
spirit that prevails in the world
today is neither comforting nor
hopeful. Hate, envy, cupidity
have dimmed our hope of spiritual
regeneration and moral redemp-
tion. Racial strife, inhuman per-
secution have all caused the light
of brothererly love to flicker fee-
bly on the altar of civilization.
The world has lost faith in those
ancient ideals that fired the souls
of the prophets of old. The poor,
the meek in heart have drained to
the dregs the cup of sorrow and
have been kneeling for sometime,
Teakettle hum,
The kitten’s purr,
And the spicy scent
Of a branch of fir,

beaten, penitent, before high
priests who are devoid of the
attributes of justice, love and
compassion, The church, with its
mysticism aiid rituals, has failed
in its mission.
It has failed because, contrary
to its professed dogmas, it has
allied itself with those militant
forces that seek to abort social
justice. Catholics and Protestants
alike have shown a shocking in-
difference to the moral wrongs
committed by the strong against
the weak and the poor. The in-
vasion of Ethiopia, the dismem-
berment of Czechoslovakia, the
slaughtering of Spanish women
and children, the strangulation of
the Chinese and the persecution
of the Jews have evoked no con-
sistent, articulate outcry from the
church.
“Peace and goodwill to all men”
has become a hollow, meaningless
injunction. The hymn of hate
echoes above the strains of the
Cathedral’s pipe-organ while a
confused, -bewildered and _ horri-
fied humanity seeks shelter in
caves, in mountain holes to escape
deadly projectiles dropped from
the air by devout Catholics. The
world is in agony. Mankind is
bleeding. A church that con-
dones lynching, segregation and
persecution cannot give requisite
proof of its own piety, nor can it
consistently influence peace and
goodwill among all men. There
can be neither peace, nor joy, nor
goodwill until we are lifted to-
ward the light of democracy, to-
ward social justice for all irrespec-
tive of color, race or creed.
The divinity of Christ was made
manifest in the humanity of Je-
sus. In the midst of grief, de-
spair and sorrow unless the
church fights openly for the rights
of the masses, peace and goodwill
there may be, but it will be peace
for the dead and goodwill for the
unborn. ‘ Hie:

“CHRIST FOR ALL MEN,

motto of the Savannah District
of the Georgia Annual Confer-

awake Presiding Elder is the Rev.

very valuable booklet which con-
tains information about “General

SURPRISING TO
be informed of the beautiful
Christmas service at Grace Afri-
can M. E. Church, Warren, Ohio.
A special church bulletin was dis.
tributed among the members and
friends. The Minister is Rever-
end A. Seon Henri, an accomplisht
musician. His wife, a splendid
young churchwoman in a Regis-
tered Nutse. Few years ago the
Reverend Henri had charge of
the Music Department at Allen

and represented his institution.

his students. Worthy enterprise
He was the house guest of the
Reverend and Mrs. M. M. Lewis
of Ardmore.

que and attractive church bulle-
tins which comes to the writer’s
desk represents St. James in St

best organisers in the connection
He is serving his eleventh year at
this charge. On the afternoon of
January 1, the Quarterly Meeting
sermon was delivered by the Rev.
S. H. Lewis, pastor of Wayman,
St. Louis. The Rev. Lewis is a
former pastor of Bethel in Co-

hope ere long to be able to sup-
ply the need.
ONE OF THE FINE YOUNG
en of the church is the Rever-

Service at Mt. Pisgah African M.

afternoon, January 1. A large

Lord, make me something like my dad;
Give me a little of his will,
That good old stubbornness he had
That helped him up hte hardest hill,
Content to wait and work and fight,
Believing always he was right.
Lord, make me like my mother, too;
Give me a little of her song;
She laughed at life, and saw it through,
And never clung to sorrow long,
Yet watched a thousand islands fade
For every port she ever made.
Lord, make me strong and make me glad
* With hands to work and hearts to sing
In all my labor like my dad.
And yet like her in everything—
With changeless smile and changeless
oath,
Lord, make me something like them
both.

As never before the CHRISTIAN RECORDER needs your support.
The present Editor and Manager has assumed a great responsibility.
He must pay for printing, wrapping, wraps, electric current, mailing,
bauling, postage, telephone, clerical help, rent for two rooms in the
Allen Building, office equipment, service for cuts, insurance, and inci-

in God. We thank the Bishops, brethren and sisters who have stood by.
The conference season will soon be over. Under the law Allen
Day as usually observed will mean nothing now to the CHRISTIAN

Methodists all over the connection to help us in a church-wide sub-
