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

n of the faucet is an absolute necesi
home in which the young sailorlie
boss insures a constant hot water
: water heater. This electrical ser;
is Installed and supplies hot water
or night. Instant hot water service
keep clean without extra effort for
to music, and making music ourselves.
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!
! And let us ever remember that
: the final decision is in God's hands

for Him "
