Golden Text: Isaiah. "Unto us a
child is born, unto us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon
his shoulder.”
The following selections are taken
from the Lesson-Sermon:
From the Bible: “Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord, that I will
raise unto David a righteous branch,
and a King shall reign and prosper,
and shall execute judgment and jus
tice in the earth.” (Jeremiah).
From Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures by Mary Bak
er Eddy: Jesus was the highest hu
man concept of the perfect man.
He expressed the highest type of
divinity, which a fleshly form could
express in that age. Into the real
and ideal man the fleshly element
cannot enter. Thus it is that Christ
illustrates the coincidence, or spir
itual agreement, between God and
man in His image, (p. 482, 332.)

'Grandpa Frost'Helps
Russians Celebrate
Midwinter Festival
Although Christmas Is no longer
a holiday in Soviet Russia, a non
religious midwinter festival is cele
brated and children receive gifts
from “Grandpa Frost.”
In Czarist Russia, it was custom
ary for well-to-do families with
large homes to entertain lavishly
on Christmas day. The invitations
were extremely formal and begped
the invited to consider that.
. . for thousands of years it
has been so; with us it has not
commenced, with us it will not
cease. Do not, therefore, disturb
the festival; do not bring the good
people to despair. Without you
there will be no maiden festival at
Anna Karpowna’s.”
In planning these houseparties,
hostesses gave particular attention
to the selection of partners for the
young ladies. The selection was
sometimes very satisfactory and
sometimes left something to be de
sired.
Arrival of the “fair maidens,"
each with her mother and retinue,
bringing cake and sweetmeats and
gifts for everyone, proceeded ac
cording to prescribed ritual: the
guests sooner freezing in theii
sleds before the gate than to alight
before receiving the greeting of the
host and hostess.
Having been ceremoniously wel
comed, the guests offered prayers
before the icon (sacred picture >
and then proceeded to the feastint
and festivities arranged for them.
WALKER IS
KILLED ON
WAR FRONT
(Continued from Page One)
broke down with emotion.
Maj. Gen. Frank E. Milburn, who
took over as temporary commander
after General Walker’s death, told
Captain Walker:
“Sam, I want you to know that
this is still your father's army.”
“This wil be hard on my grand
mother," Sam Walker said.
Young Walker, who had pleased
the General by turning down the
father's offer of a comparatively safe
qommander's aide job, is a combat
officer by choice in the U.S. 24th
Division.
Alive When Picked Up
He wept after viewing the body
shrouded in the same kind of rough
GI blanket that covers any dead
soldier.
A medic at the hospital the Gen
eral was taken to said: “He was
alive when picked up—he was dead
on arrival here.” The ambulance
trip to the hospital here was two
miles.
A Sergeant from Brooklyn, identi- j
fied as E. E. Donlin, who was driv- |
ing a following escort jeep, said;
Walker’s driver was doing about 20 •
miles an hour along the wet but j
not icy road.
The body was due to arrive in
Tokyo by plane at 11 a.m. Sunday I
(6 p.m., Saturday, PSTt and will be!
met there by General MacArthur’s
highest staff officers.

TOMB OF
ST. PETEH
IS FOUND
ROME. Dec. 23.—M—Pope Pin
XII announced today that the tomb
of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles
and revered by Roman Catholics
also as the first Pope, has been
found in the subterranean grottos of
the Vatican.
The Pontiff reported in his an
nual Christmas mesage, broadcast
from the Vatican, that a scientific
study of discoveries made during
excavations beenath St. Peter's
basilica has been completed during
the 1950 Hoiy Year.
These findings. Pope Pius declar
ed, were disclosed to be of the high
est importance and will be published
soon.
"Has the tomb (of St. Peter) been
truly found?" the Pope asked and
then gave the answer, “Yes."
Bones had been found near the
sepulchre, he declared, but it was
not possible to determine whether
“these were those of St. Peter.”
The Vatican reported last March
that 10 years of digging in the long
hidden underground chambers be
low St. Peter's Church yielded arch
eological evidence supporting the
Catholic belief that the Prince of
the Apostles was buried on that
site.
VOICES RAISED IN
CAROLS AS GROUPS
SERENADE JUNEAU
Three bands of Christmas carol
ers serenaded the city last night,
their voices lifting to crystal-clear
heights of Mount Juneau.
The Presbyterian Westminster
Group and a number from the
Bethel Tabernacle sang their way
through residential districts, while
the Juneau Ski Club caroled a trail
up and down Gold St. hill until
their tow line engine developed a
herringbone in its throat.
With Les Linehan leading and
Neil Taylor wielding the baton, the
11 ski clubbers slalomed eventually
to St. Ann’s Hospital, weher they
chorused the majestic strains of
“Silent Night." The first verse
saw three windows open, and the
second heard them shut. They fin
ished to the cocked, ear of a waiter
spaniel in a nearby parked car.
Other ski carolers were: Jerry
Gucker, Jack Thompson, Larry
Knapp, Alice Sigismund, Marjorie
Wentworth, Marilyn Herring, Min
ard Mill Jr,, and Shell and Marsha
Jartun.
HOSPITAL NOTES
Dismissed from St. Ann’s Hospital
yesterday were: Carl Lehto, Mrs.
