“PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO MEN.”
Tomorrow, the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ,
marks another year spent in our daily pursuits of living.
The world over, among all Christian nations, Christmas Day
is revered and held Holy. Many familiar conceptions of
Christmas are practiced in every home, but the one which
Nome will tomorrow conceive may be aptly outlined by the
Lord’s Prayer
“Our Father who art in Heaven; hallowed be thy name.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this
day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we
have forgiven those who trespass against us. Lead us not
into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the
Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, Forever, Amen.”
Now, more than ever before, the people of Nome have
come to realize the true significance of Christmas. In Sep-,
tember their homes and business houses were completely:
destroyed by fire. Many were in strained circumstances
and others had no place they could get for a home. The
business people of Nome were equally in dire circumstances.
With winter coming on they had to think of the stocks which
had to be ordered, the lumber for buildings and many other
things which would furnish Nome with supplies for the win
ter. Working together and with everyone helping and of
fering assistance the situation was taken care of fof the
winter.
But today and tomorrow there is another thought, a
thought which was expressed but a few hours after the fire:
“Thank God that no one was burned to death or killed.
Thank God we still have our health and can again work to
ward the rebuilding of Nome and our homes.
The people of Nome do think more today than they'
have for many years, that God in His Heaven is righteous
and kind, witness His kindliness in the hearts any eyes of
Nomeites today. Many have rebuilt their business and
homes and are smiling and again doing business with their
friends and patrons.
The only sad thought in a day of rich feeling is that in
comparison with the saying: “Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men,” nine-tenths of the nations on the globe, of major
importance, are preparing for war. Not a war of “righteous
ness” but one of aggrandizement. They publicly notify the
people of their intentions of abandoning peace treaties,
naval and armament treaties for the limitation of imple
ments of war. How could their thoughts be anything but of
imperialism? They argue that their neighbors are arming
against them.
No, they are not thinking of that saying of the Lord,
but of what war will bring them in material conquests which
result in the bloody, terrible, holocausts of young mankind.
But regardless of the rest of the world at this particular
moment, Nome has a heart full of joyousness and thankful
ness for the Blessings which He has bestowed upon us dur
ing the past year, in the name of Jesus Christ.
One fellow says he’s afraid he won’t like heaven if it’s
going to be populated by people who were good only in or
der to get there. _

thousands of young men and women
of many nationalities and denomina

Christian service at home or abroad
offered by The Moody Bible Insti
tute of Chicago. More than 2,000
students enrolled in its Day and

for certain special courses a1 hi^h
school background is required, and
college training desirable, yet gram
mar school training will admit to its
General Course. English is taught
to any deficient in its use.
The Bible ranks first in all Insti
tute courses, but instruction is fur
nished in such subjects as Sunday
School administration, Daily Vaca
tion Bible School, Gospel Music,
Public Speaking, Home Economics,
Hygiene, and Manual Training. In
special courses are offered Theology,
Homiletics, Church History, Apolo
getics, Hebrew, Yiddish, Greek, and
medical subjects for foreign mission
work.
