PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY DECEMBER 16, 1954


ETAOIN SRMU,
by WESLEY R. RAMSEY

Ain't it wonderful and some-
times awful how people can for-
get?
You take for instance "Pearl
Harbor Day".
For some six or seven years
following the war, Pearl Harbor
Day was practically a national
holiday. In our December edi-
tions of our "mat" services two
or three whole pages were de-
voted to Pearl Harbor Day. And
brother, those "mat" services
don't miss many holidays, ex-
cept maybe my birthday. But
this year, no ads or pictures on
Pearl Harbor Day. Even very
few editorials in the dailies.
Have we forgotten already?

Road-test the Reasons why America says "IT'S HOT!"


With its first look at the All-New 1955
Pontiac, America said "It's hot!" Now
that record thousands have bought and
driven this spectacular new car, the ver-
dict is stronger-because Pontiac per-
forms even better than it looks!
Come in and see how Pontiac's Strato-
S;.-1. V-8 ehgine-with its remarkably
improved economy-gives you a tremen-
dous reserve of power for every need. Feel
hovw Pontiac's long 124-inch wheelbase
an' widoe-s7:ance rear springing let you
en yv a ride you've never known before.


Experience how Pontiac's recirculating
ball steering and larger, more efficient
brakes provide almost effortless handling.
Then glance around you at the wonderful
:oominess of the all-newbigger, wider, more
luxurious Body by Fisher. And finally,
notice the admiring glances Pontiac's
distinctive years-ahead styling attracts.
But don't get the idea it's too rich foi
your blood-b2cause you can buy a
Pontiac at a price so near t l lowest it will fit

when young people set up housekeeping in quar-

no room to swing an old fashioned door,or even
the family cat.
But, come to think of it as we never did.
when houses were built on more ample lines -
why should a door swing any way? After see-

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
God's well-beloved Son. Our lesson
today very naturally treats this.
m';st important subject.
We now come to that Great
Event which brings the greatest
glory to God, the Coming of the
Godman; Jesus; Emmaniel, (God
with us). I do not see how anyone
who reads and believes the Bible
can have any doubts about the Su-
pernatural Virgin Birth of our Lord
Jesus Christ, nor do I understand
how anyone can look upon it as a
minor doctrine. of no vital impor-
tance. Certainly, the Word of God,
and our Catechisms and Confession
of Faith all agree that it is an es-
sential doctrine. Why should we
wish to disbelieve such a glorious
fact, one that undergirds our
whole scheme of Salvation? Can
you think of a better way, or a
more natural way, for the Son- of
God to become man? There is a
mystery here of course, but it is no
more mysterious than a thousand
other things which we accept today
without question.
I wish to stop for a while on the
two names of our Savior which are
given us in this passage.
First, let us take the.name, JE-
SUS; Jehovah saves. This is the
best known of all His names. It is
not translated usually, but-trans-
literated into the languages of oth-
er peoples. The first hymn I heard
When I went to Korea was, "Jesus
Loves me, This I know, For the
Bible tells me so." I could recog-
fize His name although it had been
slightly changed in their language.
It made the tears come. All over
the world children learn very early
to love the name, Jesus, and sing
of His love.
Thou shalt call his name, Jesus,
for He shall save his people from
their sins. The Old Testament, Josh-
ua, saved the Israelites and brought
them into the Promised land, giving
them rest. The New Testament Je-
sus (Joshua) saves his people
from sin and brings them into eter-
nal rest. Who are' "His people"?
The lost sheep of the house of Is-
rael, and lost sinners all over the
world; He came to seek and to
save that which was lost. His peo-
ple are His "sheep", who hear his


the Power of sin, breaking its shack-
les, and setting us free; if the Son
shall make you free, ye shall be
free indeed.
Notice the word, "shall." He is
able to save unto the uttermost, all
that come unto God'by Him. He is
able to keep us from falling, and
to present us faultless before the
throne. He is able to supply all our
needs. If we commit ourselves to
Him, He is a fiathful Savior, and
no man can pluck us out of His
hand; He gives unto us eternal
life.
Now, let us notice the name,
"Emmanuel"; "God with us." The
very name proclaims the "God-
Man." What are some of the things
suggested by this name?
Emmanuel, God-with-us, means
Power. Man by himself is weak and
powerless; Apart from Me, Jesus
said, ye can do nothing. There are
two Greek words translated "Pow-
er." One of these means the right,
or authority, to do a thing. Jesus
uses this word when the scribes and
Pharisees criticize Him for saying,
Son, thy sins be forgiven thee; In
order that ye may know that the
Son of Man has power, (the author-
ity) to forgive sins He said to the
sick of the palsy, Rise, take up
thy bed, and walk. Jesus had the
authority, as the Great Physician,
to forgive sins as well as heal bo-
dies. He uses this same word when
He commissions His disciple to
go into all the world and preach;
"All power is given me." He, the
great Head of the Church has the
authority, the right, to send them
forth. There is another word which
is translated "Power"; it is the
word from which our word, "dyna-
mite," confes. It means the ability
or strength, to do something. Paul
uses this word in Romans 1, when
he says, The Gospel is the power
of God unto salvation.
"God-with-us" means Peace. Here
again, we have two kinds of Peace;
peace in the heart, and peace in
the world.
"God-with-us" means Purity, and
Righteousness and Holiness. He
not only justifies; He sanctifies.
"God-with-us" means Love. We
love because He first loved us. It
was LOVE that brought Him here;
it was LOVE that led Him to Cal-
vary. It also means that we love
Him, and love our fellow-men.

They are not wise, these three small men. They
are simple in the way of children. They bear little
semblance to the three Princes who came to
Christ's manger to pay homage... save that they,
too, bear gifts, offering them with a song, a Christ-
mas carol upon their lips.
Behind them stands the Church, the home of
Christ, the house that welcomes those who would
visit Him. These youngsters are among His regu-
lar visitors, and for them Christmas has a very
special meaning.
Though they will have a tree trimmed with shin-
ing ornaments, brightly wrapped packages, fun
and laughter, they will be deeply conscious of the
true meaning of this glorious season. Through
their church they have learned the wonders of
God's love-which endures not just at Christmas
but throughout every day of every year.

Discussing the agricultural phil-
osophy of the last Congress, Hol-
land declared "every emphasis
must be placed on confining gov-
ernment controls and regimenta-
';ion to a minimum and leaving the
producer the maximum amount of
Freedom of action, always assigning
greatest importance to his willing-
ress to use restraint and self-dis-
cipline."
"In every program and for the
over-all effort, no unnecessary
curbs must be placed on private
initiative . A frozen or static
agricultural industry cannot long
remain prosperous," he added.
"Historically," Holland observed,
"American agriculture has always
been one of the strongest bulwarks
and one of the proudest illustra-
tions of what the American sys-
tem of private enterprise can ac-
complish.
"I strongly hope, and I deeply
feel, that it must always remain
such a bulwark and such an illus-
tration. Only in this way can agri-
culture continue to make its maxi-
mum contribution to our great
American experiment in self gov-
ernment."
The Florida Democrat commend-
ed Secretary of Agriculture Benson
as having "rendered very great ser-
vice to American agriculture and
that his leadership has been fun-
damentally in the right direction."
"The sooner we all realize," Hol-
land said, "that agricultural prob-
lems are economic problems of
great national importance and that
they may never be dealt with upon
any narrow partisan'basis, the bet-
