CHRISTMAS GIVING
When the Father gave His
only begotten son that whosoever
helieveth on Him- f
ve
everlasting life, He- gave thej
world its greatest gift, - and the
Son made the greatest sacrifice
in sacred or profane history.
The Father gave His Son to those
who despised Him, and the Son
made His sacrifice for the wicked,
the vile, the unlovely in character,
those who were not His friends.
Christians derive their name
from Christ and the name is
supposed to be applied only to
sincere followers of Him, those
who seek to follow His example
and His written word. It would
ba interesting to know how far
the' example of the Master is
b?ing followed by the Christian
world in making i,ts gifts at this
joyous. Christmas tide. Will the
followers of the meek and lowly
Jesus give as He gave: to those
who have despitefully used them?
Or will their gifts be confined to
their friends? Christ gave His
life to and for His enemies.
Will the Christian world make
even a slight sacrifice of any
sort for the unlovely, in charac
ter; will Christians give to the
poor and needy, as Christ ever
gave, or will they give only the
loving friends who in all proba
bility have enough? The vilest
sinners give gifts to their friends;
is it possible that Christians can
do no better than sinners in this
respect? Christ made the great
sacrifice for His enemies; will
Christians make a real sacrifice
even for, needy friends ? Will
they even think of their enemies
pleasantly? , '

in judgment. It is sufficient, to
suggest that a world, filled with
increasing doubt, asks these
questions at each'" succeeding
Christmastide and finds no ray
of hope in the answer. It is
never too late to start a reform,
and just at this point may be
offered the inspiration '- there
should be in Henry Drummond's
presentation of the true test of
Christianity. He says:
' 'In the Book of Matthew, where
the Judgment Day is depicted
for us in the imagery of One
seated upon a throne and divid
ing the sheep" from the goats;
the test of a man then is not,
"How have I believed?" but
"How have I loved?" The test
of religion, the final test of relig
ion, is not religiousness, but
'Love. I say the final test of
religion at that great Day is not
religiousness, but Love; not what
I have done, not what I have be
lieved, not what I have achieved.
but how I have discharged the
