WE ARE SAVED BY HOPE. Rom. 8.24.

Green is th� olor of hope. Green is one of the colors of Christma�. The

Christmas·tree is evergreen. Jesus is the hoped-for Savior, and we 3rc saved hy

our hope in Him. Moreover, "we know that all things work mgether for good

ro them that love God, to them who are the called ac ordmg til His purpo e" (Rom.

iI. ZR). And s\) we f Paciflc Luthera n College. too, are confident! awaiting th·

dawn of a new and hetter day.

Emblematic of thi� hope are the res lution� reprinted below, as adopted unanI·

mously by the American Lutheran Conference, November 17, 1932 at Milwaukee,

Wisconsin. They herald the dawn of a new day of better understanding and greater unity in the Luthernn Church.

LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE. Heb. 13.1.

Red IS the color of love and of sacnhce. Therefore red is the dominant Christmas color. God is love. In God's Word. love and charity are often synony·

mous. S in I Cor. 13, 13: "And now ablderb. f31th, hope, charity, these three ;

bur the greatest of these is charity ."

In thcse runes of all time$, "let U� not he wcary In well.domg" (Gal. 6, 9). Our fellow. men nced l1ur love.

"God so loved thc world, that He gave Kis only·begotten Son, that who�oevcr

he!H�veth in Him should nm perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3, 16).

"We kwc Him, because He first loved us" (1 John 4, 19).

"Let brotherly love continue" (Heb. 13,1).

"I have showed you aU things, how t.hat so bhoring ye ought to support the

\\t!ak. and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how HI! said, It IS more

blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20, 35).

Says Charles Dickens, at the close of his priceless "Chnstl11;JS Carol": "And so,

as Tiny Tim observed God bless Us, Every Onl'!"

Biller en'r), trembling heart.

In the spirit of ChrIStmas, may we nm urge you tu send a Christmas offering [0 your Church? Without such gifts the work must suiter; and it should nor! As

far as the NorwegIan Lutheran Church of America is concerned, the need i�

, cry great. Pacific Lutheran College, for ('x3mplc, has had to do withom the l'mergency appropriation of �14,581.35 and has already accepted one ten-percent

CUt in its regular appropriation, with more cuts in prospect unless gifts of love

greatly increase.

And ma�r we not ask you, in the spirit of Christmas, to help make up chis

shortage at Pacific Lutheran College by actively supporting our Development Association. whose logan is, "At least a dollar at least once a year?" "ror G d

lovech a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9, 7). Pacific Lud1eran College carries 011 through your love.
