Here we are in the very thick of the most frenzied Christmas shopping splurge in American history. Unemployment has gone to a new LOW. People are enjoying incomes at record levels —they have more money to spend than ever before—and they are in a spending mood right now—with this "Christmas spirit" inspired by commercial advertising to sell goods gripping them. But also, HERE WE ARE, in the very crusade of the living CHRIST—the Work of God which is the Work of the most important magnitude of any activity on earth—at this time of CRISIS, having to SUFFER and be threatened by this commercial shopping spree. While people spend their money freely and lavishly TRADING GIFTS with one another, nearly all are forgetting any gift for CHRIST! They suppose Christmas is Christ's birthday. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
