Henry Knox Sherrill God so loved the world that He gave. Here is to be found the deepest truth of Christmastide as well as the answer to our greatest need. No thoughtful person can view the world scene with complacency. The headlines of any newspaper of any day reveal conditions of chaos, of selfishness. of tragedy. caused by human waywardness. The confusion of mind and of spirit has an evitable effect upon the outward and especially the inner life of every one of us. There is the temptation to try any method to escape from the importunities of the present. But there can be no escape. We must face facts as they are. In history we find the great fact of Christmas. God so loved the world. This is God's creation, we are all of us the children of our Father. It j.s the love of God, made so crystal clear in the gift of Jesus Christ. which gives us the power to hope, and to trust. Christmas means the laughter of children, the sharing of gifts, the joy of home, of family and of friends - all we must never forget because God so loved that He gave. The only Christ­ mas worthy of the name is that which draws us in thankful con­ secreation into presence of the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • A Christmas Seal Rarity by Christer Brunström
    Cinderella Time: A Christmas Seal Rarity By Christer Brunström Christmas seals were first issued in Denmark in 1904. They were colourful charity labels sold in time for the Christ- mas mails in support of tuberculosis suf- ferers. A hundred-plus years ago, this was a dreaded disease which brought untold suffering to its victims. Many readers are undoubtedly familiar with a lady called Emily Bissell. She was instrumental in the introduction of the Christmas seal in the USA way back in 1907. When she learnt that a small hospital in Delaware needed at least $300 to be able to continue its treatment of TBC patients she remembered the Danish idea. She im- mediately went to work creating a design that included a red cross and the words Merry Christmas surrounded by ivy leaves. In all its simplicity it was a very handsome design. The seal was printed and sold by the Delaware section of the American Red Cross. Interest in the Christmas seal was very strong and sales were brisk. A sec- ond version including the words Happy New Year was also issued to further increase the sales after the Christmas holidays. Issue 36 - December 6, 2013 - StampNewsOnline.net If you enjoy this article, and are not already a subscriber, for $12 a year you can enjoy 60+ pages a month. To subscribe, email [email protected] Ms. Bissell’s initiative was a resounding success netting almost $4.000! In 1980, the U.S. Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in honour of Emily Bissell (Sc. 1823, FDC page 1).
