The Ground of Universal Joy.
Lesson for Dec. 24: Luke 2:8
12 Hebrews 1:1*4; 1 John 1:1*4.
Golden Text: Luke 2:10.
The ground of universal joy is
the salvation Jesus makes possible
to all. The herald angels brought
tidings of “great joy” to the shep
herds, because of Christ’s birth,
directed them to find him in the
manger in Bethlehem, and said
the joy should be to “all people.”
The shepherds were honored in
deed, but were only a part of the
vast host for whom Jesus camt.
And we should feel the responsi
bility of sharing Him with others.
In Hebrews we learn of the
glory of Christ as the final and
peufeet manifestation of God—a
glory far surpassing thtt of the
prophets and angels through whom
God had spoken in time past. And
'tis joy enough to Christians to
share in the glory of their Lord.
From I John comes assurance
of the joy which believers have in
i their knowledge of abiding retlity
| their fellowship one with aonther,
and with the Father and the Son.
John's expressed purpose in writ
ing of such things is “that our joy
may be made full.” No joy can
equal that of the consciousness of
good life which shall endless be.
This is the joy of those who re
ceive the tidings of Christ into
their hearts.
The gospel—the good news—
should bring abiding joy. Culti
vate the art of being happy,
cheerful, content, through your
faith and your service. Speeding
the tidings of great joy to men,
you will confirm and augment the
joy of your own salvation. And
this latest Yuletide may your faith
be strengthened and your good
deeds multiplied, that you may
have a joyous Christmas and a
happy New Year,

MORE than any other people on earth
American people have much to be thank
ful for this Christmas Day. On this beloved
anniversary we can proclaim our loyalty to
the standards of our land—written down by
great citizens of the past for all prosperity,
inspired by the teachings of the great Savior
whose birth we celebrate. Those are the
standards of liberty, equality and unselfish
ness by which we can forever live in happi
ness . . . for which we are fighting now,
against the powerful forces of greed, tyranny
and hate.
It is our faith in true concepts and in HIM
who invested them in us, that will lead us to
| triumph . . .
