HOW TO SPEND CHRISTMAS It is a good time to straighten out the kink* that have tangled your life during the year. That harsh word you *poke which went like a kuift to the soul—you have never sought par don for it .aw certainly you i xuect to do sometime. When will you find a better time to make it rign f ? And is there any coldness between you aind any one else? Melt it before ’the glowing Christmas firn and never iet it freeze again. Pence in the heart, peace in the nonw, peace i»ith every!) Se:.» on earth! Are there some things that be better left untouched and un mentioned? Th n let bygones be by gone*. Bury differences under the Christmas snow and let them -leep quietly beneath the mantle of white. The gr.nl apostle sayr something about forgetting th* 1 thing.-) which ere behind. So let u* forget what we ought to forg< ll.nrbu Kludges is of life becki So break which you these week? the groove, a day in lighter word with the nt to look upward The re: Play laps he i brought Him to mortal man; has given a real meaning to the words, “the word was made flesh and dwrelt among us.’ Have you ever given this interpretation to the advent-story— that Jesus, by his coming, has brought the Father to earth? Before the advent of Jesu» there was the smoking sacrifice, the priest hood, the obliations, the types and shadows. But holy men have writ ten for our profit that Jesus is the “Lamb of God;” he is “our passover.” ”th e blood of Jesus Christ clcanseth from all sin.” From the lips of Jesus there fell an invitation, “Come unto all ye thut labor and are heuvy laden; and I will give thee rest.” If thut invita.ion is uppermost in the mind, and if we will accept what the Scriptures jay about the mission of Jesus, we will see a religious signific- ence in the advent-story. Do we and our children get .he religious eaning to the coming of Jesus? Another signiiicent fuct with firencc to the coming of Jesus in the glorifying of the commonplace. To whom did the angels make known the coming of the Savior? Not to religious leaders, nor to kings, even philosophers. The metasge came to unknown shepherd*, who. all probability, had never made single contribution to the life of their day, other thun common toil. Yet God chose them ns the audience to listen to the music which came from the throne of God, music which was of such a nature that huntun lips were not permitted to give it ex pression. A stable was the first home the One who was born to be a King, One who left his home in glory and came to earth thut He might set captives free. The animal- dweller}, of the -table were witnesses to the event which marked the com ing of the “King of glory,” the event which war. to change the current of the world’s history. A feed trough shared with the arms of an unknown j 1 Jewish mother the honor of shielding j | the body of that infant who was.th. ‘Son of Righteousness,” “Emman- 1 | uel,” “Mighty God." The contrasts | ‘which the advent-story bring to our j attention are such that the mind can 1 hardly comprehend them.
