	(hymn singing muffled by organ music)	0:06
-	The eyes of the Lord are always upon us	1:28
	from the beginning of the year even unto the end.	1:31
	The Lord is good to them that wait for him,	1:37
	to the soul that seeketh him.	1:42
	Let us search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord.	1:46
	Let us pray.	1:54
	Oh God, our creator and judge,	2:00
	we would not hide our transgressions from thee.	2:03
	We confess vows unfulfilled, good purposes forgotten,	2:09
	opportunities neglected, duties left undone.	2:18
	We have spoken unkind words.	2:27
	We have cherished unholy desires.	2:31
	We have sometimes neglected thee	2:38
	in whom is our life and peace.	2:41
	Most merciful God who has not dealt with us	2:48
	according to our sins, we ask thee to forgive us.	2:51
	Incline our heart to keep thy commandments	3:00
	especially to love thee and our neighbors	3:05
	as much as we love ourselves.	3:11
	And so make us fellow citizens in thine eternal kingdom	3:15
	through Jesus Christ, thy son, our Lord,	3:22
	whose coming we have celebrated.	3:27
	Amen.	3:31
	And hear those words of assurance.	3:37
	Be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven.	3:42
	And therefore let us offer onto God	3:52
	a responsive prayer of praise and thanksgiving	3:55
	using canticle number 627 in the hymnbook.	4:00
	627, the song of David.	4:07
	And let the congregation remain seated.	4:14
	Blessed art thou oh Lord, the God of Israel,	4:21
	Father forever and ever.	4:25
	Thine oh Lord is the greatness and the power and the glory	4:28
	and the victory and the majesty.	4:33
	And all that in the heavens and in the earth is thine.	4:36
	Thine is the kingdom oh Lord.	4:40
	And thou art exalted as head above all.	4:44
	Both riches and honor come from thee	4:47
	and thou rulest overall.	4:51
	In thine hand are power and might,	4:54
	Give strength.	5:00
	And now we thank thee our God and praise thy glorious name.	5:03
	Amen and amen.	5:09
	(slow tempo organ music)	5:14
	(opera singing)	6:09
	Let us again hear the story of the Three Kings	9:15
	as it is recorded in the Gospel according	9:20
	to St. Matthew 2:1-16.	9:23
	Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea	9:33
	in the days of Herod the king, behold wise men from the east	9:38
	came to Jerusalem saying, "where is he,	9:44
	who has been born king of the Jews?	9:49
	For we have seen his star in the east	9:54
	and have come to worship him."	9:58
	When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled	10:03
	and all Jerusalem with him and assembling	10:09
	all the chief priests and scribes of the people,	10:14
	he inquired of them, where the Christ was to be born.	10:18
	They told him in Bethlehem of Judea for so it is written	10:25
	by the prophet and you oh Bethlehem in the land of Judah	10:32
	are by no means least among the rulers of Judah	10:39
	for from you shall come a ruler who will govern	10:44
	my people Israel.	10:48
	Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly	10:53
	and ascertained from them what time the star appeared	10:58
	and he sent them to Bethlehem saying,	11:05
	"go and search diligently for the child,	11:08
	and when you've found him, bring me word that I too	11:13
	may come and worship him."	11:21
	When they had heard the king they went their way	11:26
	and lo the star which they had seen in the east	11:30
	went before them till it came to rest over the place	11:32
	where the child was.	11:38
	When they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly	11:42
	with great joy and going into the house they saw the child	11:44
	with Mary, his mother and they fell down and worshiped him.	11:49
	Then opening their treasures they offered him gifts,	11:58
	gold and frankincense and being warned in a dream	12:03
	not to return to Herod they departed	12:14
	to their own country by another way.	12:19
	Now when they had departed, behold an angel of the Lord	12:24
	appeared to Joseph in a dream and said,	12:28
	"rise, take the child and his mother	12:32
	and flee to Egypt and remain there until I tell you.	12:36
	For Herod is about to search for the child to destroy him."	12:45
	And Joseph rose and took the child and his mother	12:53
	by night and departed to Egypt and remained there	12:56
	until the death of Herod.	13:02
	This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken	13:06
	by the prophet, out of Egypt have I called my son.	13:09
	Then Herod when he saw that he had been tricked	13:17
	by the wise men was in a furious rage	13:20
	and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem	13:26
	and in all that region who were two years old or under,	13:32
	according to the time which he had ascertained	13:40
	from the wise men.	13:45
	Amen.	13:49
	Here end the morning lesson.	13:50
	(muffled singing)	14:05
	The Lord be with you, let us pray.	14:40
	Our Father God, hear this prayer of intercession for others	14:55
	and a supplication for ourselves.	15:02
	The two prayers together, since we are all bound together	15:07
	in the one bundle of life.	15:13
	We pray thee to save man from himself.	15:18
	to save us from our selves, the world which thou hast made	15:24
	for thy creatures to live in peace,	15:32
	we have made into an alarmed camp	15:36
	and we live in fear of war to come in the days ahead.	15:41
	Somehow of our own free will we have broken thy commandment	15:49
	and denied thy truth.	15:55
	Now darkness gathers around us and confusion reigns	15:58
	in all our councils and we've lost faith in thee	16:04
	and in one another and in our selves.	16:13
	In this new year, so new and yet so like the others,	16:20
	inspire us with thy wisdom, all of us of every nation	16:28
	and color and race and creed.	16:36
	Inspire us to use our resources to help one another	16:41
	instead of for destruction.	16:47
	Assist us to do thy will on earth as it is done in heaven	16:51
	so that we may give thy promise of peace on earth a chance,	16:59
	a sporting chance.	17:06
	oh God, be swift to save us before the darkness falls	17:10
	and let us offer one prayer of dedication.	17:20
	Oh thou eternal Spirit, maker and Lord of all,	17:25
	let not our vision of the vast stages of thy work	17:32
	in creation and providence.	17:36
	Listen to our faith the value of these brief years	17:39
	which thou has grant us mortals on earth.	17:44
	May each new year bring us to fuller knowledge, deeper love,	17:49
	richer service, so with that in our day and generation	17:58
	we may be of service to thee and at last	18:05
	when our earthly years are ended we may enter	18:11
	into the immortal joy of thy kingdom	18:16
	through Jesus Christ our Lord.	18:21
	And now as our savior Christ hath taught us	18:27
	we humbly pray together saying,	18:29
	our Father who art in heaven,	18:33
	hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,	18:37
	thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.	18:42
	Give us this day our daily bread	18:47
	and forgive us our trespasses	18:51
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	18:54
	And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil	18:58
	for thine is the kingdom and the power	19:04
	and the glory forever.	19:08
	Amen.	19:12
-	In the name of God and out of the Christian tradition,	19:33
	which reaches back to Bethlehem on this first Sunday	19:37
	in 1972, I would bring you greetings	19:41
	and wish for you a very good year.	19:45
	This of course presumes rightly that Christmas is behind us	19:51
	and most of us who are worshiping together this morning	19:57
	are now turning our thoughts toward a resumption	20:03
	of those activities which we suspended in order	20:06
	to celebrate the birth of the Savior.	20:10
	Many have already made a return trip somewhere	20:15
	after Christmas and others are soon to make one.	20:18
	There was a return journey which followed	20:25
	that first Christmas which has significant parallels	20:28
	in our experience today.	20:32
	It's surprising that more attention has not previously	20:35
	been given to those parallels.	20:40
	I refer to the homeward trip of the wise men who had come	20:44
	from the east and who had seen and worshiped the Christ.	20:48
	That journey is probably the most neglected portion	20:54
	of the entire Christmas story.	20:57
	And now the purpose of my sermon today is to analyze	21:01
	that first return trip after the initial Christmas	21:04
	and to ask what light it may shed upon	21:10
	our contemporary journey.	21:14
	Let me begin by recounting the sequence	21:19
	of the pertinent events.	21:21
	Wise men from the east believed that the Messiah	21:24
	was soon to be born and they came as we heard	21:29
	both in song and scripture this morning to Jerusalem	21:33
	near Bethlehem and inquired concerning the specific location	21:37
	of the expected birth.	21:43
	King Herod also had heard persistent rumors	21:47
	that a child king would soon be born.	21:50
	He didn't like this rumor, he wished to destroy	21:54
	any potential king.	21:57
	He therefore called the wise men to him and craftily	22:00
	pretended a sincere interest in adoring the child.	22:03
	And he ordered the wise men to come back to him	22:09
	and make report after they had seen the child.	22:13
	They went, they saw, they worshiped, they gave gifts	22:18
	and they had a pre cognition dream,	22:25
	in this dream they were warned by God	22:29
	of the true nature of Herod's anxieties and Herod's schemes.	22:31
	They therefore scratched the plan to report back to Herod	22:38
	and secretly made their return trip after Christmas	22:41
	by a different route.	22:45
	When Herod realized too late that the wise men	22:49
	had thwarted his scheme he was furious	22:52
	and ordered the death of every male child	22:55
	under two years of age in that entire area.	22:57
	But here again, he was frustrated because the parents	23:01
	of Jesus also had been given pre cognition of Herod's wrath	23:04
	and had spirited the baby across the border into Egypt.	23:08
	Hence Herod's slaughter of the innocence was as feudal	23:13
	as it was diabolical.	23:19
	Now from these pertinent events,	23:23
	we draw several conclusions.	23:26
	First, king Herod the symbol of exterior power	23:30
	wanted no person in his realm who would	23:35
	be thought of by the people as any type of king.	23:37
	Second, he was willing to the full weight	23:42
	of his administrative power to eliminate from his realm,	23:46
	any person whom he regarded as a threat.	23:50
	Third, the wise men saw Jesus and in their hearts	23:55
	believed him to be the Messiah of God.	24:00
	Fourth, when warned of the King's true intent,	24:04
	the wise men did not change their witness to please Herod	24:08
	and thus declare that Jesus after all,	24:14
	wasn't anything special.	24:16
	Fifth, they did not allow Herod's power and his decrees	24:19
	to determine the course they would follow,	24:23
	but instead they decided what they would do	24:27
	and how they would respond.	24:32
	Well, unfortunately, Herod was not the last man	24:36
	to walk this earth who combined great executive power	24:40
	with a harsh desire to eliminate those whom he regarded	24:44
	as a threat to his ambitions.	24:48
	Many others have followed in his bloody footsteps	24:51
	and in their own way have sought to dispose	24:55
	of the people who appear to threaten their power	24:58
	or compete with their popularity or protest against	25:01
	their programs or dissent from their views	25:04
	or in some significant way to deviate from the party line.	25:08
	The elimination of the opposition takes various forms.	25:14
	With Herod, there was his initial scheme to use	25:19
	the wise men to locate Jesus and then doubtless	25:23
	to destroy him once he was located.	25:26
	That scheme failing, he next sought brutally to kill him	25:30
	by saturation murder.	25:34
	From other men of power there have come schemes	25:38
	of character assassination, public ridicule,	25:41
	firing from jobs, forcing people out,	25:45
	and that sort of thing.	25:48
	Persons who are given great executive clout occasionally	25:51
	come to feel that this power somehow is theirs to use	25:56
	in a selfish personal way,	25:59
	hence the old adage that power is corrupting	26:03
	and absolute power is absolutely corrupting.	26:06
	It was true of Herod and it has been tragically true	26:11
	of many powerful men since Herod died.	26:15
	Now, whenever this happens, what do wise men do?	26:20
	Well, the interests of short-term safety	26:29
	would be best served by their rushing back to Herod	26:32
	and confessing that although they had seen Jesus,	26:36
	he didn't turn out to be the Messiah after all.	26:39
	That the visionary notions which brought them to Bethlehem	26:43
	were totally false and that's the only king	26:47
	in all of Judea that they knew anything about	26:50
	was the big king Herod himself, let it be.	26:52
	Amen.	26:57
	The second possibility, the course for honest,	27:03
	but stupid men would have been to return to Herod,	27:07
	offer a witness that they believed	27:11
	Jesus was indeed sent from God, that they had worshiped him,	27:14
	and then were obeying the King's order	27:19
	to come back and report.	27:21
	Five minutes later the King's henchmen would have	27:26
	cut off their honest but stupid heads.	27:28
	So what do wise men do?	27:34
	How do they respond in a situation like that?	27:39
	Well, the ones who went to Bethlehem honestly saw,	27:44
	devoutly worshiped, sacrificially gave	27:48
	and then did not change their witness	27:51
	when they learned of the great danger.	27:55
	Neither did they allow Herod to determine	27:59
	the course of their return trip.	28:01
	They decided how they would respond	28:04
	to his oppressive tyranny.	28:08
	In the beginning of this sermon I said that the return trip	28:14
	of those ancient wise man had significant parallels	28:17
	in our own modern world.	28:21
	Let me now refer to one which is a part	28:24
	of the glorious tradition of our own university.	28:27
	It is called the Bassett Affair.	28:31
	Some of you of course, do not need to be told	28:34
	the details of this affair,	28:37
	but for the benefit of others who may be new,	28:40
	I shall sketch them briefly, but we'll certainly recommend	28:42
	the fuller reading of them in Chapter four	28:47
	of Dr. Earl Porter's book, "Trinity and Duke".	28:49
	John Spencer Bassett, a 36 year old Professor	28:56
	in Trinity College was in his 10th year on the faculty.	29:00
	He was a native of Tarboro, North Carolina,	29:04
	he was a Methodist.	29:08
	His father was a contractor.	29:09
	Bassett had received his Doctorate in History	29:12
	at Johns Hopkins.	29:15
	In October 1903, he published an editorial	29:18
	in the "South Atlantic Quarterly" in which he made a plea	29:22
	for a better understanding of the Negro,	29:25
	better treatment of that race.	29:28
	And he made the statement that the Negro scientist,	29:31
	Booker T Washington, was the greatest man except	29:34
	for Robert E. Lee, who had been born in south	29:38
	in a hundred years.	29:41
	This statement in that editorial brought	29:44
	to an explosive flame the smoldering resentment	29:48
	which Josephus Daniels had against Trinity College	29:53
	in general and against Professor Bassett in particular.	29:57
	Editor Daniel's wielded his very great journalistic power	30:03
	in the "Raleigh News" and "Observer" against Bassett.	30:08
	And he called for his summary dismissal	30:13
	from Trinity College.	30:15
	The chief cause of this outburst seems to have been	30:18
	the fact that a political coalition had recently	30:22
	been formed in this state, the success of which	30:26
	depended upon keeping Negro people politically inert	30:30
	and economically deprived.	30:35
	The editorial by Dr. Bassett was understood as a threat	30:40
	to the prosperity of that coalition,	30:43
	hence the vehemence and the power of this attack	30:48
	by an otherwise good man.	30:53
	On December one, the Trinity trustees met to decide	30:58
	how to respond to the great pressure which was being	31:02
	placed upon them to fire Bassett.	31:05
	They began their meeting at 8:00 PM and at 3:00 AM,	31:09
	they voted 18 to seven to support Bassett.	31:12
	He therefore remained at Trinity and a landmark decision	31:18
	was made for academic freedom.	31:22
	Now it is vitally important to an accurate understanding	31:27
	of the significance of the Basset Affair,	31:32
	to note that he was kept at Trinity in spite	31:36
	of overwhelming factors which might	31:40
	have caused his dismissal.	31:43
	Look at them, his academic freedom and tenure	31:47
	were supported not withstanding the fact that	31:52
	almost every other member of the faculty disagreed	31:56
	with many things in his editorial.	32:03
	Not withstanding the fact that the college administration	32:07
	disagreed with his editorial.	32:11
	You see if what you and I are saying, pleases everybody	32:16
	and all of our colleagues agree with us	32:22
	we never know whether we have academic freedom or not.	32:26
	It is only when our point of view is different	32:32
	that we can even know whether academic freedom exists.	32:36
	Well, Bassett was kept not withstanding the fact	32:45
	that the majority of the citizens of North Carolina	32:48
	disagreed with his views.	32:50
	Not withstanding the fact that the expression of his views	32:53
	created serious financial problems	32:56
	for the struggling college and it precipitated	32:59
	the worst public relations crisis	33:03
	in the history of the institution.	33:05
	And lastly, that professor Bassett himself	33:10
	would neither apologize nor back down,	33:13
	he didn't even resign.	33:17
	Now, in spite of all these factors,	33:21
	Trinity trustees voted to keep Bassett.	33:24
	It is interesting and worthwhile to remember	33:28
	that Benjamin N Duke, who certainly was the most influential	33:31
	trustee who was on the side of keeping Bassett	33:36
	was personally displeased with the editorial	33:41
	and significantly disagreed with some	33:46
	of the Bassett's views.	33:50
	Isn't that interesting?	33:52
	The message of the Bassett Affair was that when a wise man	33:56
	makes an honest journey into learning,	34:01
	he is free to report what he honestly sees	34:05
	and to bear witness to his vision.	34:10
	And no man or power may properly forced him	34:13
	to change his witness to agree with the party line	34:19
	nor banish him from the realm.	34:23
	That's the message of the Basset Affair.	34:28
	Well, when the Trinity trustees at 3:00 AM voted 18 to seven	34:33
	to keep Bassett, did that forever settle	34:38
	the issue of freedom in our world?	34:42
	Not quite.	34:46
	It is true that the Bassett incident at Trinity	34:49
	had a profound influence upon the establishment	34:51
	of academic freedom in other universities and colleges,	34:55
	particularly in the south, but even in the north also.	34:59
	But you and I do have to know that in the decade	35:04
	we are living through now, there are notable exceptions	35:08
	to this principle and they are bound on a grand scale.	35:12
	Also, it's well to remember that every virtue,	35:19
	every virtue must be renewed continually	35:24
	even where it has flourished the most.	35:30
	John Philpot Curran is best remembered	35:34
	for his immortal statement, "that the condition upon which	35:37
	God has given freedom to man is eternal vigilance".	35:41
	The statement has been paraphrased and I guess	35:48
	that the paraphrase is more frequently quoted	35:51
	than the original.	35:55
	It goes like this,	35:57
	"Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom".	35:58
	Well, however, phrased the truth of it is very important.	36:02
	Today it is sobering to look at a contemporary world map	36:09
	with this in mind, put your finger down on the China sea	36:14
	and run it up the map to the Bering sea	36:20
	and then drag it westward across the many thousands of miles	36:23
	where hundreds of millions of Chinese and Russians live,	36:27
	bring it across to a string of nations	36:32
	between the Baltic sea on the north and the Adriatic	36:34
	and the Gian sea on the south.	36:37
	Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania,	36:41
	Bulgaria, and Albania.	36:45
	What your finger will sweep across is a vast area	36:49
	of the world where by and large the power of Herod	36:54
	is set against the witness and the wisdom of the wise men.	36:59
	The familiar picture here is the official attempt	37:06
	by Herod to root out all religion, failing that,	37:10
	to set up a religion czar whose job it is to regulate	37:15
	the expressions and manifestations of religion.	37:20
	Always encouraging the religious groups	37:23
	and leaders to believe that if they will, but bend	37:26
	their witness so that it will follow the party line	37:30
	they can flourish, but if they deviate or show any sign	37:35
	of independence they will be banished.	37:40
	A recent survey of the Iron Curtain countries	37:47
	by the "Associated Press" conducted through	37:49
	its Vienna office, shows that the crunch is particularly	37:52
	cruel and repressive at this very moment	37:57
	in Albania and Czechoslovakia.	38:00
	But the controls and the threats of religious czars	38:04
	are present even now in all of the "Iron Curtain" countries.	38:10
	As we look at those countries today we are made sad	38:16
	as we think of the power of Herod to control	38:22
	or banish the honest and free witness of the wise men.	38:25
	But by implication it makes us feel smug	38:30
	and proud of ourselves, doesn't it?	38:34
	After all Duke is where the Bassett Affair happened.	38:38
	Wise men can freely worship and witness here	38:44
	whether or not their witness agrees with the powers that be.	38:48
	I'm sure we are all grateful for Duke's great tradition	38:54
	and its justified reputation for academic freedom,	38:58
	but there is no call for smugness.	39:03
	Freedom can be eroded at Duke or any other university,	39:07
	unless there is a steadfast determination to uphold it.	39:12
	With our Basset Affair tradition it is uniquely	39:18
	important for us to think of St. Paul's warning	39:22
	to the Corinthians when he said,	39:26
	"let anyone who thinks that he stands	39:28
	take heed lest he fall."	39:33
	Not only is this true as Curran said,	39:37
	that the condition upon which God has given liberty	39:40
	is eternal vigilance, but in an especial way	39:44
	during this decade of the 1970s,	39:50
	universities like Duke will be peculiarly tempted	39:53
	to curtail and erode freedom as a by-product	39:59
	of the money squeeze.	40:03
	Since budgetary cutbacks and personnel layoffs	40:06
	are financially necessary, it will be unusually easy	40:11
	to weed out the dissenters, the unconventional thinkers,	40:16
	those who do not follow the party line,	40:22
	the outspoken critic, the hair-shirt instructor,	40:26
	the John Spencer Bassetts is you please.	40:31
	How would you like for a situation to develop in which	40:38
	a young instructor in the history department	40:41
	or the chemistry department would have an idea	40:43
	in which he honestly and energetically believed	40:47
	and which he could support,	40:52
	but since the idea was unpopular in his department	40:54
	as a whole, he would withhold expressing it	40:58
	for fear he would not be reemployed if he did?	41:03
	How would you like that?	41:09
	How would you like it if Duke had a religion czar	41:13
	who whatever his official title called the shots religiously	41:17
	for the university, and who would decide what points of view	41:22
	were acceptable and which were unacceptable,	41:27
	both in the curriculum and in the extra curricular	41:31
	religious witness of the university?	41:35
	How would you like that?	41:39
	Control religion.	41:43
	Actually in our best moments none of us	41:47
	would like any curtailment of freedom,	41:51
	any banishment from the realm of persons	41:55
	because of honest witness.	41:58
	But in the crunch of circumstance otherwise good men	42:03
	sometimes yield to the corrupting temptation	42:08
	to use their power in such a way that the curtailment	42:11
	of freedom turns out to be the result.	42:16
	On their return trip after Christmas,	42:20
	the original Christmas wise men would not yield.	42:25
	In 1903, the Trinity College Trustees put the defense	42:31
	of academic freedom first.	42:35
	May God give us grace to follow in their train	42:39
	during this new year and in the decade of the seventies.	42:43
	Let us pray.	42:49
	Heavenly Father, help us to see the light	42:52
	which shines from the Christmas story	42:55
	and may we allow it to illuminate our path	42:59
	so that we may not stumble in darkness	43:02
	through Jesus Christ, our Lord.	43:06
	Amen.	43:09
	(muffled hymn singing)	43:12
-	Oh God, in whom we live and move and have our being.	54:21
	Here we offer and present unto thee our silver and our gold,	54:25
	the symbol of ourselves to be out reasonable, holy	54:31
	and living sacrifice unto thee through	54:37
	Jesus Christ our Lord.	54:41
	Now onto God's gracious mercy and protection	54:51
	do we commit to you.	54:56
	May the blessing of God come upon you abundantly.	54:59
	May it keep you strong and tranquil	55:05
	in the truth of his promises through	55:10
	Jesus Christ our Lord.	55:13
	(organ music)	55:22
	(church bell ringing)	55:49
	(upbeat instrumental music)	56:10
	(silence)	1:00:24
	(light footsteps)	1:03:28
