New Artist Here! COLUMBUS. OHIO Ohio State Museum Columbus 10, Ohio 55 VOL. 30 NO. 13 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 22, 11954 $1.00 Per Yeai Thanks To God At Christmas One of the many reasons Americans have to be thankful :for during the Christmas season, is the birth of Christ, 1954 years ago. ,. But one cannot help wondering if God can find many reasons to be thankful for Americans. ' . Certainly, if He judges us on the manner in which we give financial-support to our churches, He will be disappointed. For, as most church authorities have reluctantly admitted during the years, that at least 95 per cent of all annual gifts tto churches can be considered as no more than token gifts! This is true today in spite of the great need for in- creasecl church facilities throughout America ... a need created' by our ever increasing population, our booming North Canton School Reports Faculty Committee Studies Pupil Records The expanded guidance and Gounseling program in t h e i North Canton High School has revealed the inadequacy of the pupil personnel records lor the recording of complete testing data. Superintendent E. R. Malone has appointed a special faculty committee to evaluate the present records and make recom - TiendaLions for necessary changes and improvements in >rder to meet present needs. The following comm.ttee has been chosen: Miss Sheila dePos. esta, Chairman, Mrs. Virginia Dabney, Mr. Ralph Beuck, Mr. Robert Cathon, and Mr. Raymond Swope. Elementary School Has New Custodian Mr. Lou'is Salasek has been employed by the Board of Education as Custodian of the Elementary Building. Mr. Salasek has been a resident of the North Canton area for a number of years and recently was in the employ of the 'Frank Hoover's. A background of maintenance and repair experience qualifies Mr. Salasek for this position. Teachers to Attend Curriculum Workshop Mr. Robert Dobson, High School Instructor, and Mr. Roger Bishop, Principal of the Elementary School, have been appointed to attend the conference ,..,,- , . , .,.;---, i - . n at Ohio State University in birthrate, mass population shifts, and the new concept of \ March dealing with the improve- tfte church as a spiritual community center to :be used seven days a week around the clock. Oddly enough, most people, if pinned down, will admit to being token givers. And at the same time, if asked, they will claim their faith as the most important thing in their lives. Let's consider the answers to a questionnaire submitted by a minister to his Protestant dongregation in Milwaukee last year. The questions, according to the pastor, were "designed to point up one's relationship with his Lord and to iwake an evaluation as to his faithfulness and loyalty." Most of the questions concerned Christian faith. But one dealt with financial stewardship and was divided into three parts. Answering the first part, more than 90 per cent of the. replies stated tyiat the member was aware of his accountability "to God for the manner in which his money was spent. The second phase of the question asked. "What^gcrcent- age of your income do you give to God? Only 50 per cent of. the;congregation answered. The reason for their failure to reply was reflected in the answers to the final phase — "Is your gift sufficient?" Approximately two-thirds answered "NO" to this question. Commented the pastor, "Since the people realize that they are not sharing their possessions as tlhey should with the Lord and His Kingdom, there is a definite problem of motivating these members toward a living stewardship." Why this paradox? Why do people fail to give an adequate amount to God and church when^ at the same time, they acknowledge the overwhelming importance iof religion in the world of today? One is convinced fjhat the trouble is caused by instinctive but unintentional token giving on the part of the majority of American churchgoers. This is unfortunate for the churches . . . and even more unfortunate for the individuals because they have not experienced, the joy that comes with true Christian.giving. A real Christian gift assures the giver in his hearts that he is worshipping his Lord more than his money. This type of gift to a church is motivated by love and appreciation of God. . The Christian giver knows that through his gift he i.s doing his utmost to support God's church. In contrast, tlie token giver is deprived of this great sense of participation in God's work here on earth. , /- A "token gift" can be defined, as a contribution bo a church which represents less than. $1. per week for every $1,000 of annual income of; the giving family. This is less than one-half the tithe. It- is not. made "token" by size alone, but by comparison to the financial ability of the giver to give — by the .need of the giver to give. Actually, it is not a "gift", because "to give" is defined "to bestow freely without return." Therefore a: contribution to a church which is only large enough to cover the giver's, porportianate share-of the church expenses (for services rendered and: facilities, used) is not a gift; but only a payment — .like dues to a club. • '*"*•*: w. ' .Serious as it; is,, there is a solution to the. widespreM church hardship problem-caused by "token giving."- * • \ Tne solution is.in the character of the American' family. We alii know that Americans are inherentl,v^generotis and rfeligipus. They, wiUVgive more than ad'^ateTytio God and Church; if they are shown the way. ■'■■■. And the: way was pointed out by, Christ in the Sermon on tihe Mount when He told us: "Where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also." ,..

Christmas Bells "I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet The wofds repeat Of peace oh earth, good will to men." T6 many of us their music brings memories. The wide sweep of the bells seems to bridge the abyss of time, not saddening witih their: recollections, but bringing very near and dear the places, the people, who are no more. The remembered happiness, of-othfer Christmas Days is very precious — but Christmas is not a day just for memory. It celebrates' not a death, but a birth — the birth of the Prince of Peace. It is a holy day, on which if we keep it rightly, we must share of our own blessings, in His name. ' Then Will the music of the Christmas Bells echo the music of the angels' song in our hearts; and in our homes, not bn|y on that Day of Days, but; throughout the year. .
