SMft&'KHOOl LESSON |y CfcarU$E.Dw?? The Supreme Gift of Love. Lesson for December 20th. 1 Johi 4:7-19. Golden Text: Luke 2:14. The words from the first letter o! John chosen for our lesson, anc especially the glorious angelic soue set aside as the Golden Text, have i serene quality reminding one o. that striking phrase of the prophel Isaiah, "Your strength is quiel faith." But some one asks, "How can wc be calm and steadfast this Christmas when the world is in such 2 dreadful condition?" First of all let us act serenely. We pay toe much attention to our feelings, anc not nearly enough to action. A; Prof. James reminds us, we musl "sit up cheerfully, look arounc cheerfully, and act and speak as Ji cheerfulness were already there." In the second place, we need t( get close to nature, to look often al the stars and the hills. The Christmas narrative breathes the spirit of God's out-of-doors. And we musl never forget that Jesus was a country boy and man. He knew inti mately, as his teachings make sc clear, the birds, beasts and flowers I would also recommend listening However, that is time BOYCE'S?Gifts for 1 everyone is exclaiming and reasonable price o!

Christmas is of immense help here, for it is the season oi hearty and triumphant song. Some one has said, "There is no great art without serenity.'' Well, one finds a tranquil composure in the familiar strains of "Holy Night' and other Christmas carolsThen again we can find peace ol mind if we learn to walk in the quiet path of patience. Consider the extremely critical issue of peace Because peace comes so slowly we 1 say it is never going to come. How ; absurd! It took two centuries to esi tablish the King's peace in mediaeE val Engl.ind, but it was done! It t will take many decades of the hardt est kind of work to achieve world peace, but it, too, will come to pass! !
