Thanks Be To God i~ Noone ever better expressed the emotions of a Christian when he thinks of ChristmCls than did Paul in his inspiring exclamation, "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift," Presents can usually be de- scribed. A campus heavily covered with a Christmas mantle of white can be pictured; but who has the words e de quat e to thank God for the gift of His Son, the Christ Child! It is because He came and tabernacled among us that all spiritual and material blessings are ours to enjoy. Without the Christ of Christmas there would be no college like Whitworth training hundreds of young people in the name of Christ.

The administration of Whitworth College would like to te ke this occasion to thank you as a friend of the college for your interest, your prayers, and your gifts during the p'!lSt yeM. Words are such a poor vehicle to express the deeper feelings of the heart. When Paul wanted to describe God's qr e e teat gift, His Son, he called that gift "unspeak- able". We sense something of Paul's feelings when we at Christmas try to find words adequate to express our feeling of gratification for all you have done for this Christian College. Your prayers, your letters, and your continual giving to the college have not only brought en- couragement and material help but you have had a rnejcr part in making possible the marvelous advancement of the college this past year. A great Chrir.tian College cannot be built by one individual nor yet by ten. It is the uniting of all of our forcer. and abilities plus the b\er.sing of a Beneficent Heavenly Father which spells success. We bless you for loyalty and your love, and pray that this may be a blessed Christmar. Season to you and yours.

Sincerely,

To most Christian People Christmas person is necesserv to constitute Jesus means the birthday of Jesus, the adoration Christ a proper mediator between man and of the shepherds, the visit of the wisemen, God.

Being perfect man, day which most of us seldom consider at Christ can make atonement for man; being the festive time. The supreme benefit of God his atonement is infinite in value. Do Christmas is that the Son of God, born of you think of this when you join the shep- the Virgin Mary, becomes as well the Son herds in edcrefion? of Man; and that in the incarnating act The work of the God-man, made possible Jesus became the God-man.
