AGAIN, CHRISTMAS IS HERE j (By ,Rev. D. A. Clarke) The dawn of Christmas day thrills: the heirt of a weary world. Many have been disturbed by grief and sor row while others.have faced disap-J pointment and frikne. There rises in the human heart a common spirit of cheer and confidence. All asrtfc takes on a new glow. Defeat is transformed into victory. Why this new experience? Christmas is here. But what is the meaning of all this? It means, that God has noma to earth; that Hope shines upon a dark world; that heaven loves lost men; that men will yet learn to love each other; that this Babe will not relinquish His right upon the earth, until He has bound up the broken hearted, proclaimed liberty to the captives, offered beauty for ashes, the oil of^jpy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Indeed, the massage of Christmas is a message of eternal Hope from the Son of God and the Savior of men. There is a great need in the hearts of men for this message of Christ On has a strong hold on the world! bringing unhappiness and rain. As much as ever, should we realize the emptiness of our desires, for we need to be saved from our selves as well as from our sins. Christ came, not only as a gnat prophet, but . as a messenger that God is with us. He is our light He is our Hope. He is our Tesce.
