And con cerning those things that Just must be done More Ch ristmas Day, how many have been checked off your list as being accomplished? The tendency is to spend most of the time taking care of the outward preparations to the neglect of the preparation of mind and heart which alone enables one to participate In the true event?the cotnlw in new and significant ways of the Christ on the human scene. God made careful pre parations for the coming of His Son into die world: references to the fact through the prophets John the Baptiser as a fore runner, the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the home of Joseph and Mary, the announ cement to the Shepherds out on the hill country, the guidiiw of the Wise Men to Bethldiem by the Star, as well as in other ways. Naturally, this took thorough preparation on the part of the Almighty.

The way to experience Chr is emu is throogh the hurt by faith in the Living Lord, the Risen Christ. Here faith in God is more than an idea hold in the mind, it is a Presence recognised in the dally life. To live the Christian Life in Its fullness is to recognise this Presence in our daily lives. It is to give away to the Pres ence, surrendering to it, and yielding our very selves to lu magnifying influence for good.
