HILE PRACTICALLY EVERYONE in the civilized world stops every year to make note in one way or another of the greatest of all holidays, Christmas, Iittle thought is given, even in sermons, to the man on whom we rely completely for the Christmas story. When the story is told to wide-eyed youngsters of the birth of the-baby Jesus, cradled in a manger, and of that heavenly chorus that attended the event, seldom is mention made of the man who alone gave the world tllat treasure. So, every few years, in this Christmas editorial space, I try to tell again of that vastly interesting man io whom all Christmas celebrators. owe so much: Doctor Luke of Antioch. I feel, to paraphrase the old corny remark, that o'they haven't done right by our Luke." It seems nothing but fair that the man responsible gets at least honorable mention.

Who gave us Christmas? Who was it that discovered the shepherds on the hills near BetJrlehem? Who gave us the picture of the angel who appeared to these simple shepherds to announce the coming of the King? I[ho alone, told the emotional story of the blessed Babe who was born in a manger in a stable where these same shepherds found and worshipped him? What man has thrilled the souls of humans for nigh two thousand years with his sublime words: "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the-heavenly host praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men" ?

BY JACK DIONNE

His name was Doctor Luke; Doctor Luke of Antioch. He was a Greek physician in his earlier years. And toward the end of his splendid life he wrote a long letter to a Roman scholar named Theophilus, concerning the rbirth, life, works and death of an humble Jew, the Son of a carpenter. So it was that the most sublime story in the history of mankind came to us through the means of a long letter, written by a Greek, to a Roman, about a Jew. That letter is the Book of Luke.

For in the Book of Luke, and only there, do we find the story of Christmas. There, and there only, do we get the inspiration for the ringing joys, the sublime inspiration that we call the Christmas spirit. We depend for our history of Jesus and the religion He founded on the four Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, and the Acts, all in the New Testament. Mark and John tell us nothing about the birth of Jesus. Matthew does tell of that birth, of the wise men who came from the East and found the new-born Babe in a house in Bethlehem. But nothing about a stable, a manger, the shepherds, and the glorified angelic chorus; nothing of the things that gave us Christmas. Matthew, Mark and John were contemporaries of Jesus. Luke was not. He was one who came after, and who, perhaps a generation after the crucifixion, gave us the beautiful Christmas story.
