Darrell H. Bingle, Brookshire Assembly of God Church 1 Timothy 1:15 The most fruitful Christian laborer that you know, in the "Harvest of Christ," is no more than a mere sinner, saved by grace! Yes, this bold, humble assertation, found in 1 Timothy, spoken by the anostle Paul, "Of whom I am Chief." is the golden standard of all true Christians. Down beneath our most effective, to the most humble efforts in Christian service, is the bountiful Grace of God! If it were not for the beautiful touch of the Spirit, which leads us on, our most meager works would be all to much in vain. Yes, to those of ps who have met the master, beneath, our cloke of righteousness, and our show of love, and our acts of sanctification, are we not all, as the apostle, merely sinners saved by grace? Though we may be truly pure, and all our acts of merit spring forth from the heart, don't we owe all of this to the Grace of God? This Grace that we are speaking of, is a gift to all mankind, to the unsaved as well as the saved! Ephesians 2:8,9 relates "For by grace are you saved by faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." If yourself in Christ, and in the you are lost, can you find Grace of God, this Christmas season Let us ever be mindful of the fact, this Christmas season, that we cannot out-give hrist, for He gave his all, and His Grace is Sufficient for all. The most gracious gift that we could give, this Christmas, is the giving of ourselves, wholly to Him.

May God be with you in His fulness this Christmas season. Katy Drug Bells ringing, carol-singing tell the joys of Christmas. We wish you all the best of a merry season, with warm thanks for vour good will. Katy Furniture P. J.
