Genealogy is one of my favorite hobbies. I find it especially gratifying to get acquainted with ancestors that I otherwise could never have known. For instance, I
never met my great-grandfather, Frank J. Scribner (he died four years
before I was born), but I am quite certain that I would have greatly enjoyed him. Not only
did he share my ministerial calling, but by all accounts he was a kind,
intelligent and loving man.One of the primary means through which I have gotten to know him is through reading his journals, sermons and various personal correspondences. Among these are this Christmas letter which he penned 57 years ago, and which I enjoy reading annually this time of year. I hope you will enjoy reading it and be blessed by it as well.
