I CHRISTMAS OF 1924 As the scroll unrolls year by year, to the time when our Saviour was placed in a manger, “The Christ Child” ordained to be a sacrifice for us, a divine gift, and no gift rings true without a sacrifice— We are apt to forget in our joy of Christmas that a cross stood ready for His crucifixion, this child of God. A heavenly Father’s sacrifice. The three Wise Men, who came from afar to pay homage and offer their costly gifts believing that a new Kingdom would be established on earth, and this child would be their King to reign forever as an earthly King. So we, in our mistaken idea offer our gifts—one to the other—forgetting the “Supreme Giver” whose blood was shed for us that we might live and enjoy life here below, and in the life to come, if we follow ed His teachings of love and sacrifice. D< we ever tarry in our gaiety of Christmas shopping and the merry making on “Christmas Day” to consider the solemn ity of that “Birthday” and follow with awe the life from birth to death of this magnifi cent character whose years were sad and lonely—“A man of sorrow acquainted with grief.” The world war took from us many of American, hundred per cent, young men. They were aided in their bravery by co operation, cheered by bands of music, and backed by millions to make their sacrifice less hard to bear. But Jesus faced the terrific mob alone. Jesus the superior—with a magnificent physique, handsome, adorable and distin guished. Yet, he was spit upon and bruised for our transgression. This splendid young man—only thirty years of age—so brave— he bore the insult alone. “He was oppressed and he was afflicted; . yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” Only once did he cry out for human sympathy—a few hours before his crucifix ion to his disciples—he said, “Could ye not watch with me one hour?” His life blood at the time, was oozing from the pores like sweat, bloody sweat. This noble young man was Jesus—The Prince, the “Son of God the Father,” the only Prince ever born not made on earth. He came from a Kingdom unsurpassed by any realm, the grandeur of which can not be conceived by human thought, and yet on this the anniversary of his birth, it’s be ing made a burlesque, a vaudeville of “Peace on earth, good will to man” will not in most cases, be felt on January First 1925. Way back at the time that Christ was born there came the fourth Wise Man—he traveled alone, unaided and unafraid. He carried no outward gifts, but his soul was attuned to the sublimity of the meaning of the birth and his acute intuition grasped the tragedy in store for the child. A love thrilled his very being, but he worshiped afar off, and wrapped himself about in a robe of silence. He gave not, when needed, to the suffering, Jesus, or to the worthy poor, in the midst. He looked on, this fourth Wise man, but heeded not the hum ble “Nazarenes” example of love and serv ice to humanity for he was wedded to false rule of cast and aristocracy—too weak in character to be bumble and loving. “ fhe greatest thing” says some one, “A man can do for his heavenly Father is to be kind to some of His other children.” I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder than we are? How easily it is done. How instantaneously it acts. How infallibly it is remembered. How superabundantly it pays itself back, for there is no debtor in the world so honorable, so superbly honor able as love. Love never faileth—Love is success—Love is happiness—Love is life— Love is energy of life. This life is a school. Jesus, the master teacher, is ever ready to aid and love us— always near to be our protector and friend. Did He not say, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden—take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in spirit and ye shall find rest to your souls. Come unto me—come.” His loving arms are reached out to wards us—pleadingly—and oh, dear people, let us not grieve his spirit by false giving. “Let there be something true and fine When night slips down to tell That I have lived this day of mine Not selfishly but well.” Let our gifts be “In His Name” bearing His seal of approval and benediction on this the holy “Christmas Tide of Nineteen hun dred and twenty-four. —Dr. Adella S.
