Think Big — It's the Season of Christmas

A few years ago a representative of :

the; American Civil: Liberties: Union /

pointed out in a letter to the Menlo Park,”
California, ‘city council ‘that the Nativity.
scene annually erected by the Lions Club
in ‘one of the city’s: parks was “‘clearly
violative of the U.S.:Constitution and the
California Constitution; as well.”

The ACLU representative cited the .

traditional separation of church and state
and declared, “The fact: that the great
citizenry is religious .:.'. does not allow.
that majority to intrude their own per-
sonal. belief in ‘the: public and govern:
mental aspects-of our society REA
The Menlo Park Recorder came back
with an editorial answer. that .is».worth ©
quoting as we now enter the final ‘few
days before the celebtarer of- Christ's
birth.
“AW, COME ON Now?” complained
the® “Recorder. “This is pretty small time.
“Friends of Liberty, as members ‘of,
the ACLU'claim themselves to be, should,

tional guarantees” of ‘individual freedom.:

Thoughts

: “Suffer ye. little children
To:'come unto me”,
Is the tenderest of stories
Heard at: mother’s knee.

It ‘never ,loses meaning, ~
As: through the years it's told,
‘And oh, what wondrous vistas
To the faithful it unfolds.

Last night like a trusting child ean:
Beside -my bed I knelt,

And prayed that the great Redeemer.
Would make His presence felt.

Felt in every nation, 4 x
In- every heart and mind,

And His spirit of love and forgiveness
Would transform all mankind.

Lord, let the tears He shed over us
Cleanse our mind and soul,

And. heal each withering, weakened part
And restore it to the perfect whole.

Then like a trusting child, I believed,
That the Prince of Peace still reigns,
And the angels tidings of “Peace on -

earth”
Shall ares all hearts a;
