What to Get Him?
Make It Personal
Women are often puzzled when
shopping for presents for a man.
Gifts that any man should appre- |
ciatc, however, are a shaving set,
shoe kit, clothes brush set, or any
of a number of articles that will
help him to be well groomed.
They will surely like, for exam
ple, a set including cologne, shaving
brush, shaving soap and non-greasy
hair dressing, each in a mannish
looking container.
One set comes in a wood veneer
box with an early American design.
The spice perfume, talcum powder,
shaving cream and after-shaving lo
tion comes in pottery containers and
is sufficiently mannish looking to
flatter any masculine taste.
Cold weather chaps and roughens
men’s skins as well as women’s. A
good protective cream to use in
cold weather would not be amiss.
One company has a special cream ;
for sensitive skins, too, also a polar i
cream to protect the skin in cold,
windy weather. Men also need a
good, non-sticky and greaseless
hand cream.
A pair of handsome satinwood
military brushes in a red, white
and gold box, or three bath-size
cokes of pine scented soap in a wa- I
terproof box, is another gift sugges- i
tion. Equally acceptable would be I
a streamlined shaving brush in a
cylindrical case which holds the
brush bristles downward when not
in use; also a grcaseless, slightly
scented hair tonic in a mannish look
ing pottery jug.
Boxes Scarce, So Wrap
Holiday Bundles Carefully
With paper, boxes and twine
scarce, Christmas packages will!
have to be bundled with even more
care than formerly.
Even in normal times, thousands
of carelessly wrapped packages find
their way through the mails, or have
to be rebundled in the post offices. 1
Where expensive or delicate arti-,
cles are sloppily bound, enough
damage may be caused to seriously
damage the gifts.
In postal procedure in the larger’
cities, the mailed package is put in
a sack. The sack is put on a belt,
which carries it to a platform, when
if is loaded on a truck. The truck
carries it to the railroad station,
where it is dropped by chute to a
platform. It leaves the platform
and is carried to its destination.
In this volume of handling, care
lessly wrapped packages easily can
be banged about and damaged.
Outdoor Yule Tree
First Made How in
Capital in 1923
In 1923 a beautiful evergreen
tree, cut in the woods of Vermont,
was sent to Washington and set
up in Sherman square.
This tree was a gift from Mid
dlebury college to the President
of the United States. It was dec
orated and wired with hundreds ■
af tiny electric lights, and on
Christmas Eve President Coo
lidge switched on the lights of the
First National Christmas tree.
The following year beautiful
living tree was planted in Sher
man plaza behind the White
House and a permanent under
ground electric service installed
so that each year the same living
tree can be decorated and illumi
nated.
The national .xaraple w k j
mßcklj followed by many states
and communities. Now every year
brilliantly illuminated trees grace
state capitol grounds, city
squares and village greens.

CHRIST THE FULFILLMENT OF
THE LAW
LESSON TEXT—Hebrews 1:1-9; Romans
10 4-10.
GOLDEN TEXT-God . . . hath In these
! last days spoken unto us by his Son.—He
| brcv.i 1:1,2.
I The center of all Christian think
j ing is the fact that God has revealed
i Himself to man. This revelation is
found in the Bible, for it is the Word
j of God. That is why the command-
I meets which we have studied in re
| cent weeks speak to us with such
authority. They are not the expres
; sion of human opinion of how we
1 should live. They are God’s com
mand which we are to obey.
The great and final revelation of
God and His love was not the writ
ten Word—the Bible—but the Living
Word—His Son. The coming of
Christ is our lesson for next week,
on Christmas Sunday. But this week
we want to learn a little more of
what His coming into the world
meant. He was—
I. God’s Last Word (Heb. 1:1-3).
Through the ages God had been
speaking through the prophets, con
stantly revealing Himself as a God
of power, justice, holiness, truth and
mercy.
In different ways and at various
times (v. 1) He spoke through them,
but always there was a pointing for
ward to the One who should come.
Abraham was called out to found
the nation (Gen. 12), and Jacob the
family or tribe (Gen. 49), in
which He should come. He was
to be a prophet like Moses (Deut.
18) and of the kingly house of Da
vid (II Sam. 7). All the offerings
of Leviticus spoke of His priestly
| service. Isaiah saw Him as both the
i reigning and the suffering Messiah
j (Isa. 53).
All this was incomplete until He
came; and when Ho did, He re
vealed all the glory of God. He made
the perfect and final sacrifice for sin,
and sat down (His work was fin
ished) at God’s right hand (the place
of power).
Let us be clear about this: in
Christ God’s revelation is perfect
and complete. We need look for
nothing more. The claims of those
who appear with a “new light” or
some mysterious hidden power are
so obviously untrue that we ought
not to be at all interested.
But not only is Christ God’s final
Word, He is—
11. God’s Rest Word (Heb. 1:4-9).
The prophets and their messages
thrill our souls and move us to
more earnest living. But the Christ
is our very life as well as our Re
! deemcr.
The angels are God’s messengers
—mighty and magnificent beings, su
perior in their way to man (Ps.
8:5). The early church made too
much of angels (as do some groups
today), but Protestantism of our day
lias made too little of them. They
are great and powerful beings who
minister on our behalf and who are
honored in the loyal service they do
for God.
But when they stand beside the
Son of God, it becomes evident that
; He holds a place of incomparable
glory and majesty. He is the high
est revelation of God, the best Word
that God could have spoken to needy
and sinful humanity.
We do well to think of who Christ
l is and what He has done. Just in
| this passage from Hebrews we find
that He is the express image of all
of God’s glory; He is the upholder
of all creation; He has the place of
honor and power at God’s right
hand; He is the only begotten of the
Father; His throne has been estab
lished forever, and so on.
How well nigh unbelievable that
this glorious One is also our Sa
viour. This is stated in verse 3, but
is developed in our next point.
111. God’s Saving Word (Rom. 10:
4-10).
If sinful man were only permitted
to look on His glory it would be a
great privilege, but it would not
help him in his desire for holiness
and eternal joy. There was a “great
gulf fixed” between sinful man and
a holy God until the Son of glory be
came the God-man, when the eternal
Word became “flesh and dwelt
among us” (Luke 2:14).
Christ as our Saviour is the “end
of the law” to the believer (v. 4),
not in the sense that He terminates
the law by setting it aside, but by
completing or fulfilling all of Us re
quirements.
Just so the Christian is set free
from the law, not in order that he
may disobey it, but that he may
keep it in the power and grace which
Christ gives him. The Ten Coin
i mandments are the law of life for
j the Christian because he loves the
: Lord Jesus Christ and wants to obey
1 Him. We do the things which the
Decalogue require not to be saved
thereby, but because we thereby
honor the name of our Saviour.
The unbeliever, struggling under
the burden of sin, says, “How can
! I come to know Him?’’ and we find
■ the answer in verses 8-10. It is “by
I faith.”
