"made that hymn was Mendelssohn's music, writ

haU he was whistling "What a
friend we nave to ' Jesus, All our
sins and griefs to bear, What a
privilege to carry everything to
God in prayer." '
It gave me a contented feeling.
In this big hotel the servants were
singing Christian hymns.. I lay still
and listened. He started whistling
"In the cross, in the cross, Be my
glory ever, Till my raptured soul
shall find, Rest beyond the river."
God has blessed America when
in all bur great organizations and
businesses the servants are singing.
And really, all of us are servants
all ot us are ministering to the
needs and comfort of others in some
way. X is a great thing when there
is a song in our hearts which makes
us whistle as we work. '
Then was our mouth filled with
laughter, And our tongue with sing'
tag: Then said they among the na

for them. The Lord hath done great
things for us, Whereof we are glad."

the Christian observance of Christ
mas rather than the secular oo
vance. The emphasis of the com
mercialization of Christmas by
many people create Christmas. as
merely another holiday instead of
the Holy Season it was meant to
be. Some people are more concern
ed about Santa Claus than about the
Christ who came that we might
have life. -.' '" ' '' '
In seeking ,to keep Chrismas a
Christian observance we should do
our utmost to make it Christian.
During family reunions and partys
through the Christmas season non
alcoholic beverages should be used.
nmm snd use of alcoholic bever-
. should be nut aside, and the
true Christian spirit reign in the
hearts of all, supremely. We should
do our best to set a personal ex
ample of making Christmas a
Christian observance. We should
attend a service of worship on
Christmas day and observe that day
as a holy day.
Money still talks today but does
n't; linger long enough for serious
debate. v ....
Each day can be made more tol
erable by seeking the opportunities

The Abounding
BY REV. C. HERMAN TRUEBLOOD
TEXT. "Where sin abounded, grace
5:20.
The 5th chapter of Romans Is one
New Testament. In the first eleven verses of this chapter Paul points out
what might be designated as the seven wonders, or fruits, of justification
whic hcome to those who, by faith, lay
fruits of Justification are: "Peace," verse 1; "Access," verse 2; "Patience,"
verse 3; "Hope," verse 4; "Love," verse 5; "Holy Spirit," verse 5; "The
Living Christ," verses 6 - 10.
Immediately following Paul's description of justification's seven
fruits, he hurries to set forth seven matchless spiritual victories - not of
law, not of good deeds, not of rites and ceremonies - but THE VICTORY
OF GOD'S GRACE OVER SIN. These seven triumphs of divine grace are
revealed in one of the profoundets messages ever penned by Paul the
Apostle. Observe:
1. THE VICTORY OF GRACE
as by one man sin entered into the
death passed upon all men, for that aU nave sinnea - mucn more xne
irrace 'of God. and the gift of grace, which Is by one man, Jesus Christ,
hath abounded unto many." Verses 12
2. THE VICTORY OP GRACE
Judgement was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification." Verse 16.
3. THE VICTORY OP GRACE
if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of
in life by one, Jesus Christ." Verse
4. THE VICTORY OF GRACE
as by the offence of one judgement
even so by the righteousness of one
unto justification of lite." Verse 18.
5. THE VICTORY OF GRACE OVER DISOBEDIENCE. "For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of
one shall many be made righteous. Verse 19.
8. THE VICTORY OF GRACE OVER BROKEN LAW. "Moreover the
law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound." Verse 20.
7. THE VICTORY OF GRACE OVER ULTIMATE DEATH. "That as
sin hath reigned unto death, even so might reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ
Amazing gracel How sweet the
once was lost, but now am found.
"Twas grace that taught my heart
How precious did that grace appear
Thro' many dangers, toils and
Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus

Prince of Peace
Lesson for December 20, 1953
GOD'S will is for a warless
world. No one can read tho
prophets and make anything else
out of it. God's will is for peace
in this world. Peace among an
gels, yes. peace beyond death, yes.
of course; but that is not the whole
of it. God's will is for peac
among men, peace on this good
green earth. So long as there are
wars, we know that God's win
and intention for mankind is beinr
resisted. God wants a warless
world.
Leader To Peace
One of the many
names
Peace,
for
Christ is "Prmce of
Utie given by a prophet long be-
are his birth. It will be worth our
while to look into
lhat ti'ie this week
and see what ex
actly is meant by
it, for it is much
more than a strik
ing phrase. The
word "Prince" has
nothing necessari
ly to do with roy
alty, though it of
ten does. Its literal
meaning is lead
er, captain, chief.
As Prince of Peace therefore,
our Lord is Leader of Peace. Bu
again, the title may mean more
things than one. Let us start with
"Leader to Peace." In this sense.
Christ is one who points out tm
road to peace, shows markim'
what peace means. As the Bible
iisps the word, peace does
net
mean simply the ebbing of
hattle-tide. the lull between
at-
tacks. It is not a negative wore, n
is positive. The kind of peace to
which Christ points is not mere
inditterence, it is based on love
and good-will. For instance, ns;
these lines are written, the United
Ktates is at peace with Canada; it
is also at peace with a do7rn
other countries that could be men
tioned. But while it is barely pos
sible that war might brfeak out
vi-.h anv nation, it is probably less
i!:c;y to l-:'-..k out with Canada
than with countries with which we
have less in common and for
whose people our own people have
a much weaker affection
neaco is based on mutual
Ins
oo a
will. Jesus taught us mucn more
about peace; for example his ref
erence to "peace-makers.
must pass on.
But v. e
Leader Of Peace
As Prince of Peace our Lcrd
also Leader of Peace. That ; i
say, where Christ is known ;

rood except as a
Leader By Peace
Another m -fmnr tr-ft may fairly
be given to 'Pi-.iic- of ivace ' i-
Leader by Petee That is to
say, tne leaaei amp
of Christ is never ore of enerCiUi.
There have been leaders b. the
sword; there have been leauers
by lies, for the human race as w
too easily misled: mere is one ana
only one Leader of men who -wUi
reign only through love.
At Christmas time men oueu
wonder why it is that the anee's"
song has never been lultniea.
Peace has not come on earth to
stay. Peace is always pic'u!' --: lS
a bird poised for fiisht. The tVl
reign of the Prince of Ti.'.-i
seems to be so slowly comin.i.
The reason is that unlike all
earthly leaders, Christ will have
none in his kingdom who is not
there by his own free .win. God
could no doubt beat the world into
sllent submission ta a very shrrt
time. It Is not beyond the power
of the Almighjjr to bring "..r
luman war to an end. .
