NATIVITY IN BETHLEHEM-The birth of Jesus Christ nearly 2000 years ago has a profound influence upon the-social andspiritual life of each person in the Western world. The anniversary of his birth is the occasion for both celebration and serious thought. commemor- y of his Sav- i are Christ- ther irresolv- need not be child's grandfather or one in a department store toyland today, Christmas is for the children, they say, and they are right. And Christmas for the children is a wonderful time, a time to remem- ber. But Christmas is more, Christ- mas is also for the grown up. To give, the saying goes, is bet- ter than to receive.

For despite the many other aspects, the central fact of Christmas is Christ. Christians today, Rev. Andrew Missiras, of Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, explained, cele- brate the joy of Christmas. From the Scriptures, he said, we learn that the day brings "Glory to God in the highest, on the earth peace, goodwill toward men," There is a reconciliation of God and man, fulfillment of the woes of 'the world, Rev. Missiras said. Welds Man The atmosphere thus created welds man to God, but likewise man to man. There is a triangular relationship, Rev. Missiras illu- strated, with God, man and the individual at the vertices. Each must love the other two to hold the- form together, for each man's tri- angle has mankind adjacent. But more than a welding pro- cess, Christmas often provides the individual with food for thought, with provocations to examine him- self and his values. When celebrating the holiday of, Christmas, Rev. John Bradley, of Saint. Mary's Student C h a p e 1, points out, one celebrates the anni- versary of the birth ,.of Christ. Observation of anyone's birthday varies according to the person's value to those observing the ;day. Christ Is God Since Christ is the incarnation of God, he said, Christmas is so very important. This is the pri- mary consideration of the Catholic in observing Christmas, Father Bradley said.' Since Christianity has domin- ated the western world for more than one thousand years and has formed a major portion of western legal and social structure, the example of the birth and life of its founder provides for many peo- ple of various personal beliefs a focus for worship.and self-examin- ation, giving Christmas a deeper and, for many, a more significant meaning. r$ Y F YOU R XMAS GIFT LIST $ Cigars e Pipes Tobacco Pouches ' 4, Humidors, $ 4y Pipe Rocks $ OPEN 'TllL,9P.M. y PIPE oCd$ ~~ 118 East Huron - Opposite County Bldg. - Ph. ,NO 3-6236 " $ CH1STMAS means warm, friedly soun . ._ from the tinkle of sleigh bells to the the ofapproaching carollers singing out famili songs.
