I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:1011. All Christians who read these words feel in their heart a long-ing to have a part in this great Heaven-given joy. Few people ever feel that they have enough of joy. But many mistake worldly pleasure for joy. They seek true joy in vain. And yet they long for rest and peace in their soul. Christmas brings no joy and peace unless it is celebrated with solemn fear and love of God. But it is God's will that joy should be to all people. So we do the will of God in deed when we lead men to know the true source of joy, which is the Christ Child. Yet none may know the joy of the Christ Child except he be moved by the Spirit of God. We mortals are only poor instruments in the hand of God to guide men under the influence of the Means of Grace. There is joy in the world be-cause a Savior is born. And yet a great portion of the world does not feel in need of a Savior. Those who need no Savior, what part have they in the Christmas joy? Their merriment is only ' carnal, they never know true spiritual reality. In order to find joy such people must cease their merri- Peace-time Christmas Finds New Problems; Joyous Mood By Marjorie Mueller Gayly wrapped packages and merry chattering crowds filling the buses, girls gathering in the lounges just to gaze at the bright-ly lighted trees, the choir rehears-ing Christmas numbers and the preparations for Christmas par-ties on the campus,all give evi-dence that the holiday season is nearing once again. The plump little red and white man and his helpers, the quaint brown elves, who are so busy with their work at the North Pole are being cheerfully assisted by the hundreds of shoppers crowding the streets and stores of the pine-decorated cities. Typical Christmas shopping dif-ficulties have arisen even during this, our first peace-time Christ-mas season. The girlfriend who already has everything she could possibly want and the boy who fears the salesgirls to the point that someone else must buy his special girlfriend's present, have been and will always remain age-old problems. Postwar additions to this list of minor irritations are the absence of white shirts, pajamas and other such items of long good-standing as Christmas presents from the shelves of the stores. Christmas, however, remains the most joyous time of the year. St. Nick will witness this year a hap-piness possible only in a nation celebrating its first peace-time Christmas in four years. Tables loaded with the fruits of a plenti-ful harvest, family reunions after long months of separation and humble prayers offered to God for his loving kindness in sending to us his Son, the Prince of Peace, will mark this Christmas of 1945. Heralding the approach of the Christmas season, the Con-cordia concert choir, under the direction ' of Prof. Paul J. Christiansen, and the chapel choir, under the direction of Prof. Rolf Espeseth, will present the annual Christmas con- . cert in the Moorhead armory, Sunday and Monday evenings at eight o'clock. Opening the program will be a prelude of chimes, **O Come All Ye Faithful." The college orches-tra under the direction of Prof. Sigvald Thompson, will then play "Pastoral Music" by Correlli. After a hymn by the audience the chapel choir will sing "Now Sing We All Rejoice/' a carol; "Gladsome Radiance," by Gret-chaninoff; F. Melius Christian-sen's "Come Thou Savior of Our Race" and "Lullaby on Christmas Eve" and "Hosanna in the High-est," by Soderman. Reading the Christmas gospel Sunday night will be Rev. San-ford D. Sorgen of Valley City, N. D., and on Monday evening Rev. Sidney Rand, professor of religion at Concordia. Before a pictorial background of shepherds, wise men and the nativity scene, each choir will sing; a group of anthems. In-cluded in the concert choir's will be the cradle hymn, "Away in a .Manger," Tschaikowsky's "O Praise Ye God;" "From Heaven Above" and "Beautiful Savior" by F. .Melius Christiansen; "Advent Motet," by Gustav Schreck; "Three Kings/' a Catalonian na-tivity song and "Glory be to God,'* by Rachmaninoff. The setting has been designed.1 by Prof. Cyrus M. Running, head of the art department. Art stu-dents will assist in its completion. To allow the program to con-tinue uninterrupted, tickets have been printed on envelopes in which an offering may be placed and presented at the door. Ad-mission to the concert is free. The program will be given Sunday evening for out of town guests and on Monday evening for local townspeople and students. Free tickets may be secured by writing to the public relations of-fice at Concordia. ment and learn to think soberly. Joy never comes through giddy fun and noisy hilarity. Such wa-ters are disturbed and grimy to be penetrated by God's bright sun. But through the clear waters of quiet self-reflection somber devo-tion and religious consecration the bright rays of God's sun of Joy will penetrate to the Innermost recesses of the soul of man. By .meditating upon the great truth of the Savior's birth we learn to appreciate the necessity of this coming. Our sins were more than we could carry, and our punishment eternal. Under those conditions the day of eter-nity knew no brightness of sun-shine, but only sinister clouds of darkness. Great is therefore our joy when we learn that the Christ Child is come to carry our burden of sin. That He who shines brighter than the sun in the heavens will scatter the clouds of darkness. His wonderful star of Hope shall brighten dur path of life and per-mit no clouds of doubt to gather on the horizon of our eternity. When eternal hope is come to brighten life then true joy is known. So today let the world rejoice that a Savior is born, in order that we all may enjoy the fullness of forgiveness of sins. By the faith that God has given we believe that iHe is Christ the Lord. In faith we again receive the Christ Child, through faith we rejoice in hope, Iby faith we say the Heavens op-ened and the angels of God de-scending and ascending upon the children of men. Burgess To Supervise Audio-Vision Training In College Curriculum Doctor T. O. Burgess has been appointed director of the audio-visual instruction division of the college, Dr. J. N. Brown nounced this week. an- A new film-sound motion pic-ture projector and a public ad-dress system have been purchased for this project. Also a permanent screen for the chapel and a port-able screen for classroom pic-tures have been added to the equipment. Doctor Burgess stated that the college plans to make this audio-visual instruction an integral part of the curriculum and to elevate it to the level of higher educa-tion. Christmas vacation for Con-cordia ' students will extend from Thursday, December 20, to Tuesday, January 8, 1946, announces President J. N. Brown. The next issue of The Con-cordian will be Friday, Janua-ry 18. A staff meeting will be held the preceding Tuesday at 7 p. m. in The Concordian of-fice. All editors and reporters are requested to be present for this reorganization of the staff. The staff takes this oppor-tunity to wish all .Cobber Fac-ulty a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. |
