THE ENID EVENTS, ENID, OKLAHOMA, THUR8DAY, DECEMBER 22, 1921.
ALLISON NEWS. I ton were additional guests.
m. , ... , Members responded to the roll call
There are many holidays—days by making a Christmas wish which
which commemorate events of Breat was very amusing. The time was
importance, birthdays of great men spent in doing fancy work and visit-
l,ke Washington and Lincoln; birth- ing. At the close of a very pleas-
ant afternoon delicious refreshments
cf chicken sandwiches, cake and cof-
fee was served by the hostess assist-
ed by her sister, Mrs. Owen Stam.
This is the last meeting until after
the Christmas holidays Next meet-
ing will be with Mrs. Louis Brunken
on January 4, 1922.
We hear criticisms and doubts on
every hand concerning the healing of
all manner of sickness at the Taber-
nacle that God is doing through the
prayeers of faith of Evangelist P. C.
Nelson. The criticisms come mostly
from people who call themselves
children of God, even ministers of His
word. Why they will doubt the pow-
er of God is more than any human
can tell except that they surely do not
know Him as they should, to be His
followers. We must, to be a true
servant of God, believe every word of
the Bible from cover to cover, not to
just pick out scripture to fit our re-
ligion. We all know God has done
things that is impossible for man to
do ever since the world began and,
according to His 'frord, He is going to
do many more things. He has told
us plainly that nothing is impossible
for Him to do. Some people have the
impression that Mr. Nelson is heal-
ing in his own power and that gives
reasons for doubt for he is only hu-
man. He has never once said he could
heal the sick or was the Divine Heal-
er, but gives all the credit to Jesus
Christ. The papers over the country
have done much to harm his work by
"dubbing" him a divine healer. If
Mr. Nelson were to just once claim
the power of healing God could not
use him at all. To take all our
doubts away from us, we should at-
tend ' the services and see and hear
for ourselves. If we prayed, as Mr.
Nelson does, we surely would be liv-
ing very near to God.
If we know anything about the
Bible at all we should know some-
thing about Christ's ministry. He
went about healing, teaching and
preaching during all three years of
His ministry. Why did he not save
Himself from the cruel hands of His
enemies and the cross? For this rea-
son only: He loved us and promised
the Father that He would suffer and
die that we might have everlasting
life. Also, Jesus commanded His
followers to heal the sick, but it was
done in His- name and by His power.
They, too, suffered in the body for
Jesus' sake when their mission on
earth was finished. This three-fold
ministry continued on down for sev-
eral hundred years until the church
went into the dark ages and never
was revived again until just recently
it is being revived by God Himself,
in his sermon last Sunday these wor
not by the churches. Mr. Nelson said
in his sermon last Sunday: "Some
ask why all who come to us for
prayer are not healed. I answer, be-
cause the Lord's requirements have

days of nations like our own Fourth
of July—but there is one day differ-
ent from them all, a world-wide day,
celebrating an event more wonderful
than any or all other events which
have had to do with the history of the
world. This day we name Christmas,
the day which commemorates the
birth of Jesus Christ, God's Son.
ping the bells of Heaven for the
joy it gives! Shout your praise!
Give your gifts! Sing your hallelu-
jahs! Give Jesus the best place in
your hearts, in our home, in your
lives! Tell the story of His love, of
His cross, of the new life He gives;
tell it to the children, to your friends,
to the whole world that the Babe of
Bethlehem, the sin-bearing Saviour,
the lasurreeted Son of God—is the
One who makes Christmas the great-
est of all days of the year and who
will make eternity one glad, glorious
"day" for all who now receive and
follow Him.

LADIES' AID.
Members of the Lutheran Ladies'
Aid weer pleasantly entertained last
Thursday afternoon at the beautiful
modem home of Mrs. Otto Brunken

in doing sewing and quilting for the
hostess. The business meeting was
opened by singing a song of praise to
God. During the meeting plans were
completed for holding the Christmas
bazaar. At the close of the business
session a delicious luncheon, consist-
ing of the most perfect baked apples
