Sunday School Lesson December 22. 1)M GOD’S GREATEST GIFT Lake 2:8-20; Jobs J:l«; Ephesians 3:14-21 GOLDEN TEXT—Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable grift—' II Corinthians 9:15. God’s Gift The Greatest of All Gifts—John 3:10 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. A Christmas Prayer Our dear loving heavenly fath er, folowing the example of thy great servant Paul, we bow our knees in humble gratitude for thy great gift to us of thine only son. We thank thee for thy son, Jesus Christ. We know that Christ came as a little babe, born of his virgin mother amid the sweet acclaim of angelic voices. But the significance of his com ing can not be understood apart from the cross. The precious babe of Bethlehem was born to live among men, to teach them how to live, to do the works of the Father and then to be of fered upon the cross as ransom for our sins—then to rise in tri umph over sift and death. This was done in the long ago but, Jesus lives today in the hearts and lives of all who have been privileged to hear the good news and to have seen the light and who have been willing to accept your wonderful gift of love. We thank you for your message of love, the Holy Bible written by thy spirit through the hands of thy servants of old. Through thy word we learn that the Sav ior is now day by day making intercession to thee for our short comings and sins. We Thank You For Our Great Laud We know that our land is for from what you would have it. Our land is stepped in sin and selfishness, but oh kind and pa tient Father! there are a lot of your children in America who afe earnestly trying to do your will. These same redeemed ones are by their lives and influence a leaven to our country. Be Sltt^ ft** If you’re a connoisseur of neckwear, these are the ties you’ve been looking for.

We thank you for our country and pledge ourselves to endeavor to do our best to make it just a little bet* ter. What Shall We Render Thee For Thy Good GifU? We have a great and natural desire to give to our loving and gracious God. Can we not please Thee best by accepting humbly and thankfully day by day the blessing that thou are giving us? We accept thy gifts humbly and gladly. But we must express our appreciation in some way. Can we not best give to you by giv ing to your children. We are told that there are eight hundred millions of our fellowmen who have never known what it is not to be hungry. Can we not show our thanks to you by administer ing to these poor, suffering peo ples? We give gifts at this glad season, commemorating thy gift to us, to our friends and loved ones but how can it be pleasing to Thee unless we remember some one of Thy needy children? we Come In Supplication Forgive us, Heavenly Father, for our nearsightedness and sin. Give us more of Thy Spirit to share with others. Help us to so live that our influence will be felt for good in our community that our loved nation might be just a little better for our hav ing lived a while. Help us to give of our physical bread to our brother that he may be better able to understand con cerning the bread of heaven “and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that they might be Ailed with the fulness of God." This we ask in thy dear son’s name who was given to us. Amen. By Ben F. Favell.
