Bermudians are serious and conscientious and as they heard the announcement of a remarriage cere- mony for every married couple, they prepared with a fervor and excitement never before experienced by the crusade team. When the wedding night arrived, there were 82 couples; many of the ladies were dressed in their original wedding gowns. Some of them even went on a post-honeymoon. The march was headed by the pastors and their wives. Each pastor gave a three- minute talk on the sacredness of the marriage institu- tion. That evening the atmosphere was charged with a feeling of sublime love and ecstasy.

Two large tents were pitched to house the large crowds that attended the meetings during the six weeks of the crusade. services such as the nightly three-mile walk, the physical fitness course he constructed, the demonstra- tions of vegetarian foods, and the nightly medical team. His services proved to be an invaluable part of the crusade. One Monday night the services were taped by the local television station and aired the following Mon- day night. Praise be to God! The attendance did in- crease and the station was asked to air the program again. Special anointing services on Wednesday night always brought a host of visitors. Some Wednesday evenings as many as fifty persons were awaiting the Lord's blessing through anointing, and because of their faith, some were granted healing. Two hundred thirteen persons were baptized. A new church was started in West Pembroke.

Each night an average of 75 persons re- mained for the class. There were 157 persons enrolled in the Bible Institute lessons. Each night the exchange of the lessons and the asking of questions became a very active part of the class. There were 89 persons who made it across the finish line and marched in the grand graduation exercises. The Bermuda Better Living Crusade was truly a moving experience. There was excitement in the air each evening. Excitement it was when two young per- sons gave their hearts to Christ, were baptized, and then married under the tent with nearly 1,300 onlookers.

December 14, 1982, Vol. LXXXI, No. 23 19 THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

BY EARL W. AMUNDSON, President Atlantic Union Conference

The Spirit of Christmas is to be found in that wonderful angel-choir announcement to the Bethlehem shepherds: "Peace on earth, good will toward men." We do not see the fulfillment of it yet, but someday peace will cover the earth as waters cover the sea. An enemy has come in and replaced peace and good will with hate, deception, and theft. The worst kind of robbery is that of one's reputation by those who question a person's integrity instead of discussing issues and ideas. Can we possibly retain the spirit of Christmas while surrendering principle and morality, and offer excuses for ques- never be attracted to Christ in large tionable conduct? numbers until we who claim to be His We extol morals and idealism.
