found one or more whom we can
(and should) assist, there neighbor
llness must begin,
A minister once approached one
of Us parishioner with the 'To
r a co on for the
putPose itbroad. Ot dqffig Christian work
fh The particular rife
had mind was China. The man
replied neighbors that he was willing to help
hl| but did not those think he
was called upon to help as
far away as China.
"Whom dq you consider your
neighbor!’! asked the minister.
“The man whose farm adjoins
me,” was the prompt reply. “How
far down Into the earth does your
farm extend r was the next ques
tion, and the fhrmer just as prompt
ly answered: “To the center!"
.. Very well,” said the minister
quickly. "There is a man down in
China whose land Joins yours at
the center of the earth; he is there
fore your neighbor and needs your
help.” This was n new thought to
the slow-going church member. He
learned his lesson, and we need
to learn the same. Only as we
do so will we be able to broaden
our lives Into the fullness of the
life of Jesns the Christ.
The application of the teaching
of Jesns to business and society
would produce a perpetual Christ
mas season; n time of peace and
Joy and happiness lasting through
out the year.
The giving of cheap presents or
money., however, does not consti
tute Cbrlstmak; ns well expect a
bouquet of flowers (however love
ly) to constitute Summer 1 The
Christmas spirit, rather than the
Christmas show, honors Him whose
birth, no less than His life, was
the greatest gift the world has
ever received, The Christmas
spirit brings us into closer touch
with Him whose very life was an
exemplification of the precept: “It
Is more blessed to give than to re
ceive.”
As we celebrate the anniversary
of the birth of Jesus let not the
going down of the sun mark the
decline of the Christmas spirit but,
ns the days come and go, and we
enter the new year, let us^each
one reach out the loving hand to
the sick, the unfortunate anil the
outcast, remembering that Jesus
the Christ said: "Inasmuch as ye
have done It unto the least of one
of these, m.v brethren, ye have done
it unto Me!
