JUST CHRISTMAS AGAIN (3rd card)
Is it just Christmas, again,
In a world of war and sin?
Another year of tinsel and paper;
Of glamorous gifts, paid for later,
Of loveless homes and empty lives,
And husbands separate from their wives?
Another day, the same as last,
The only difference, a year has past?
No, this year can be,
A joyous Christian reality.
A year when Christ is personal,
Yes, more than an year, eternal;
The Lord of your life, and heart
If not now, then now start.
– eab, Nov. ’67

Inn Keeper – Not unkind, Not hard
– Just busy, Just occupied, Just making another “buck,”
Just seeing only the present moment, Just too tired to read prophecy,
Just too tired to notice the little differences in this couple.

THE STRONG, THE LAME

YOU might not have been impressed
When the shepherds came;
One tall and young and strong,
One older, shorter, lame
But they came, all the same.

ON THIS DATE
Charles Frederick Weigle died 12/3/1966 at Chattanooga, Tennessee. He early had a love for music and attended the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (now a part of Univ. of Cincinnati). After his training he served as singer and an inspiring preacher. More than 1,000 songs flowed from his pen, the most famous being, “No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus.” His last 15 years were spent on the campus of Tennessee Temple Schools (Chattanooga). Weigle was born 11/20/1871 at LaFayette, Indiana. Here is another of his songs we sang in church when I was a boy.
