Youth Christmas Eve Candlelight Service December 24, 2017 – 11:00 Pm Youth Christmas Eve Candlelight Service December 24, 2017 – 11:00 pm “Broken Perfection… Lost Control … HOPE.” Christmas is a time when we want perfection, probably more than any other time of year. When a loved one cannot make it home it is extra sad. When the meal does not turn out it is extra frustrating. When the present is not well received we feel extra bad. Things are supposed to be picture perfect at Christmas time. It is time to take control and bend the heavens and earth to your will. This Christmas, let us reflect on the very first Christmas and look at life. At the first Christmas, Christ did not shake the imperfection out of this World, but He did bring perfect hope. As ugly and painful as life can get, especially in this season of perfection, what does hope mean? How does it make all the difference? The Hope we find in Christ is not the “hope?” that a meal turns out well, or the “hope?” for a certain desired present. Hope in Christ permeates our whole life. Hope in Christ changes how we see the highs and lows of life because Christ has come to redeem all things. In Christian Hope our disappointments bear eternal fruit. In Christian Hope our hurts strengthen us. In Christian Hope our fear brings us closer to our Mighty Lord. In Christian Hope every ending is a new beginning. Merry Christmas, and may your gift this year be the Lord moving you from man’s “hope” that is a question, to Christian Hope that ends in a period as Christ declares, “It is accomplished”. (*) Those who are able are asked to stand during these parts of the service. OPENING PRAYER HYMN “It Came Upon The Midnight Clear” ......................................................................... LSB 366 -1- (*) CHRISTMAS INVOCATION, CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION P: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit C: Amen. P: At the time of His birth, Jesus was: praised by the angels, acclaimed by the shepherds, and in time, given gifts of honor from the wise men. But Christ was born into human flesh to die for the redemption of sinners. This night we give Jesus our praise, but we also give Him our sin. C: Dear Lord Jesus, we lay our sins before you. P: As you sing, listen. Listen to the full message of Christmas. Jesus born, Son of God, God’s love incarnate to die and rise for the forgiveness of sin. (Please be seated) HYMN OF MEDITATION “From Heaven Above to Earth I Come” / “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” (Tune, LSB 425) “To you this night is born a child of Mary, chosen virgin mild; (LSB 358, st. 2) This little child of lowly birth shall be the joy of all the earth. “This is the Christ, our God Most High, who hears your sad and bitter cry; (LSB 358, st. 3) He will Himself your Savior be from all your sins to set you free. See, from His head, His hands, His feet sorrow and love flow mingled down! (LSB 425, st. 3) Did e’er such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown? (A time of silence) P: As the first Christmas approached, the darkness was thick upon the earth. Into that darkness God spoke and the Word came to dwell with us! Jesus, the light of the world, has come! The darkness flees before His brilliance and as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12) As a called and ordained servant of Christ, by His authority, I speak His grace to you. You are forgiven in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen! P: Now, like the shepherds, let us praise the name of the Lord. For this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes! (Mark 12:11) (Please stand to sing…) -2- (*) RESPONSE (The Wonderful Cross) “He will on you the gifts bestow prepared by God for all below, That in His kingdom, bright and fair, You may with us His glory share. O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross All who gather here by grace draw near and bless Your name. Christmas Perfection: Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Bing Crosby Homecoming: Dad: I sure do love that song. … Sweetie, the house looks just perfect. You went all out this year. The kids are going to love it. Mom: I hope so. It has been so long. Grace has missed the last two Christmases with that new job of hers. Rox‐anne has been working so hard at college that we barely see her. At least we get to see Lizzie every once in a while, but to have all three home at the same time. It will be wonderful! Dad: I agree. It has been too long. You have outdone yourself this year. Mom: You’re not too upset that I asked you not to invite your parents? Dad: I’m not upset. I feel bad not having them with us, but you’re, right the house will be full and it is ok for us to focus on the kids. Lizzie will visit them on her way here and they will enjoy seeing us next weekend. For this Christmas, it’s just our family. It will be perfect. Plus, I know how well you and my mom get along… Mom: We see things a bit differently is all. I am not going to lie. It will be a less stressful day without her. The kids should be here soon! I am going to finish up in the kitchen, I want everything to be perfect! Lizzie: Daddy! Merry Christmas, dad! Dad: Merry Christ…. Lizzie. What have you done? Lizzie: Oh! I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa and there was a water main issue at their building. All the residents needed to be moved so I told the director that they could come with me and you would bring them back when the issue was fixed. They can spend Christmas with us! Grandpa: Are you two done or are you going to leave us out here until we sing carols for you? Can’t you see we can’t get our suitcases up these steps?! Lizzie: Sorry Grandpa. Grandma: What did she say? Why aren’t you moving your buns hon? Lizzie: I am coming to help, Grandma. Grandpa is stuck. He can’t lift the suitcases! -3- Grandpa: Why are you yelling at me?! Lizzie: I’m not yelling at you Grandpa. I am yelling at Grandma! I mean I am speaking up so she can hear me! Grandpa: Oh! That lady is deaf as a rock! Grandpa: Why are you hitting me! Grandma: I couldn’t hear what you said, but I know it was naughty! Mom: Sweetie, what is all the yelling about out… Dad: Sweetie, guess who is…. Lizzie: Merry Christmas, mom! Mom: Merry Christmas Lizzie…why are your grandparents here? Why do they have suitcases? Lizzie: A water main issue at their building. I said they could stay here until it’s fixed. Don’t worry, it will only be a week or so. Grandma: We hate to be an inconvenience for you. I know how you had your heart set on leaving us out of Christmas and all. We will try not to be a bother. My it’s cold, could you be a dear and turn up the thermostat? In my day, we kept the house warmer than the outside. A cup of coffee would be nice if you can manage. Lizzie, can you put these suitcases in your parent’s room. I don’t think your grandpa and I can make it down to the guest room. Mom: O…K I will go check the thermostat. Grandpa: What was that! Lizzie: I don’t know. Dad: Oh boy. Well, let’s get you guys settled Grandpa: Thank you Grandma: Oh good, but my hands are just too cold to hold the cup. Could you hold it a bit until I warm up? Mom: Sure Rox‐anne: Merry Christmas! Dad: whoa! Grandpa: Hello Rox‐anne! Grandma: What! Grandpa: Rox‐anne just arrived! Grandma: You’re pregnant! Well it looks like we are no longer the most surprising thing. Ok dear, I will take that coffee now. If you leave that on the carpet, it will stain. Oh well, suit yourself, but could you get me another cup of coffee, if you can manage. HYMN “The Night Will Soon Be Ending” ............................................................................. LSB 337 -4- Perfect Deconstruction Mary: What a wonderful day. I wasn’t sure at first, but I think I can grow to love Joseph. We had such a nice talk today. He is a good man and will provide for me. I will not be an unmarried burden to my family. Life is perfect right now. Angel: Mary Mary: … Angel: Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you. Mary: …. Angel: Do not be afraid, Mary. You have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and be the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom will never end.

In accordance with this decision this Commission has been carrying on since 1958, within the framework of the project, a programme of publishing modern Japanese philosophical works into foreign languages. In 1959, we put out an English translation of "The Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples" by Nakamura Hajime; and in 1960 "A Study of Good" by Nishida Kitaro. The present 7101- ume, "A Climate" by Watsuji Tetsuro, is the third of the series and is to be followed in 1962 by an English version of "Time and Eternity" by Hatano Seiichi. Watsuji Tetsuro, one of the foremost scholars in the field of ethics in Japan, attempted in his present book to expound his views in concrete and easy terms on "the function of climate as a factor within the structure of human existence", which represents an aspect of his profound thought. It is our sincere wish that this programme will prove to be a contribution to the development of mutual understanding among the peoples of the world, as well as a closer cultural link between the East and West.

Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo.

  • Sounding Paiwan: Institutionalization and Heritage-Making of Paiwan Lalingedan and Pakulalu Flutes in Contemporary Taiwan
    Ethnomusicology Review 22(2) Sounding Paiwan: Institutionalization and Heritage-Making of Paiwan Lalingedan and Pakulalu Flutes in Contemporary Taiwan Chia-Hao Hsu Lalingedan ni vuvu namaya tua qaun Lalingedan ni vuvu namaya tua luseq…… Lalingedan sini pu’eljan nu talimuzav a’uvarun Lalingedan nulemangeda’en mapaqenetje tua saluveljengen The ancestor’s nose flute is like weeping. The ancestor’s nose flute is like tears... When I am depressed, the sound of the nose flute becomes a sign of sorrow. When I hear the sound of the nose flute, I always have my lover in mind. —Sauniaw Tjuveljevelj, from the song “Lalingedan ni vuvu,” in the album Nasi1 In 2011, the Taiwanese government’s Council for Cultural Affairs declared Indigenous Paiwan lalingedan (nose flutes) and pakulalu (mouth flutes) to be National Important Traditional Arts. 2 Sauniaw Tjuveljevelj, a designated preserver of Paiwan nose and mouth flutes at the county level, released her first album Nasi in 2007, which included one of her Paiwan songs “Lalingedan ni vuvu” [“The Ancestor’s Nose Flute”]. Using both nose flute playing and singing in Paiwan language, the song shows her effort to accentuate her Paiwan roots by connecting with her ancestors via the nose flute. The lines of the song mentioned above reflect how prominent cultural discourses in Taiwan depict the instruments today; the sound of Paiwan flutes (hereafter referred to collectively as Paiwan flutes) resembles the sound of weeping, which is a voice that evokes a sense of ancestral past and “thoughtful sorrow.” However, the music of Paiwan flutes was rarely labeled as sorrowful in literature before the mid-1990s.

  • The Collected Poems of Giorgio De Chirico
    195 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF GIORGIO DE CHIRICO I Paris 1911-1915 1. Hopes1 Te astronomer poets are exuberant. Te day is radiant the public square flled with sunlight. Tey are leaning against the veranda. Music and love. Te incredibly beautiful woman. I would sacrifce my life for her velvet eyes. A painter has painted a huge red smokestack Tat a poet adores like a divinity. I remember that night of springtime and cadavers. Te river was carrying gravestones that have disappeared. Who still wants to live? Promises are more beautiful. So many fags are fying from the railroad station. Provided the clock does not stop A government minister is supposed to arrive. He is intelligent and mild he is smiling. He comprehends everything and at night by the glow of a smoking lamp While the warrior of stone dozes on the dark public square He writes sad passionate love letters. 1 Original title, Espoirs, published in “La révolution surréaliste”, n. 5, Paris 15 October 1925, p. 6. Te Éluard-Picasso Manuscripts (1911-1915), including theoretical writings and poems written in French and 29 drawings, constitute an essential testimony of de Chirico’s early theoretical and artistic considerations. (See J. de Sanna, Giorgio de Chirico - Disegno, Electa, Milan 2004, pp. 12-15). De Chirico arrived in Paris, from Florence, on 14 July 1911 and remained in the capital until late May 1915 when, called to arms, he returned to Italy with his brother Alberto Savinio. Initially in Paul Éluard’s collection, the manuscripts were later acquired by Picasso. Today they are conserved in ‘Fonds Picasso’ at Musée National Picasso, Paris.

  • Enlightenment for Ordinary People Translation by Rev
    Enlightenment for Ordinary People Translation by Rev. Kodo Umezu and Jerry Bolick* Daiei Kaneko *With thanks to Muryoko 無量光 , Journal of Shin Buddhism, where this article was originally published. Daiei Kaneko, born in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, in 1881, was one of the most influential Shinshu thinkers of the 20th Century. A prolific writer and much beloved teacher, he sought to bring Pure Land Buddhism into the modern age, ex- ploring difficult concepts in plain language and rejecting scholarly approaches and venues. A stu- dent of Kiyozawa Manshi and graduate of Otani University, Kaneko manifested deep but simple re- ligiosity grounded in the incomprehensible gift of Wisdom and Compassion. Kaneko died October 20th, 1976. The essays presented below were originally de- livered as NHK radio broadcasts, then edited and published in the lay Buddhist journal, Zaike Bukkyo, in May, June and July of 1956. About Kyo-Gyo-Shin-Sho Eyes of Deep Sorrow What we call ‘life’ is simply each person’s actions or movements, in accordance with his or her abilit- ies and capacities. We describe our bodily, physical movements in terms of our arms and legs, while knowledge is expressed through reference to our sense organs. Among the five, we can say that the eyes predominate, because we use the word ‘see’ to describe the functioning of all five organs. [In Ja- panese], for hearing, we combine ‘hear’ and ‘to-see’; for taste, we use ‘taste’ and ‘to-see.’ It is even more obvious when we use words like ‘knowledge’ (‘see- consciousness’) and opinion (‘mind-see’). Ordinary life, therefore, is nothing more than bodily move- ment, the physical movement of our legs, arms, etc., guided by the knowledge acquired by ‘seeing.’ We would say then that notions such as ‘hearing the fragrance’ of incense or ‘savouring language’ were dif- ferent, apart from actual or ordinary daily life.

Her next work, a short story collection, Cut Glass, Blown Glass (Gyaman biidoro 1978), was selected to receive the Geijutsu-senshō-mombudaijin- shinjin-shō, a prestigious literary award by the Ministry of Education. Hayashi, however, refused this award on the grounds that, as a hibakusha, she could not accept an award from the Japanese government so long as it maintained the stubborn refusal to acknowledge the effect of internal exposure to radiation—a perspective that is made abundantly clear in the present work. Despite a relatively late debut, Hayashi was a prolific writer whose eight volume collected works was published in 2005. The “Rui” of the title appears for the first time in Hayashi’s From Trinity to Trinity (Torinitii kara torinitii e; English translations by Kyoko Selden, Asia-Pacific Journal and Eiko Otake, Station Hill Press), an autobiographical account Hayashi Kyoko of Hayashi’s October 1999 trip to the Trinity Site at Los Alamos in New Mexico, where the This essay was the last major published work first atomic bomb was tested.
