Christmas has been over-commercialized for '..many years. Re membering, and the- thought of wanting to do something for some one, is the real spirit of Christmas.

Christmas. 'One of the other unfortunate re cent aspects of Christmas Is the fact that December has become a month of staggering highway fa talities. December claims more traffic and highway victims than other months, and one of. the rea sons is the great amount of trav el during the Christmas season.

Memory Selection: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your strength,1 and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27. Lemon Text: Luke 19:15-37. .: Our lesson for this week is bas ed on one of the eleven parables which are found only in Luke's Gospel. The story of The Good Samaritan ranks with that of The Prodigal Son as the best known of all the parables of Jesus, Jesus was passing through Perea when he spoke this parable. . Five figures appear in the story, each portrayed in a few potent words The parable teaches tolerance, inas. much as one of the hated Samari tans was exalted, but, more vitally, emphasis is placed upon deeds of love rather than pretensions of faith. The first character to appear is a certain lawyer, who took advan. tage of an opportunity to open a theological discussion with Jesus, by asking the question often met in discussions: what must be .done to inherit eternal life? The rich young ruler asked the same ques tion and Jesus repeated to him the social commandments. In the case of this lawyer, Jesug replied by asking him his own opinion. Having the inquiry presented for his own answer, the lawyer quoted Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19: 18, enjoining love for God and "thy neighbor as thyself" a part of the Shema, which every devout Jew re peated twice daily. Thereupon, Je sus affirmed the correctness of his answer, telling him tnat it die an this, he would live. This disposition iof the discussion did not satisfy the lawyer, who had been put in the position of asking a question to which he already knew the answer. So, seeking a justification, he put to Jesus the historic question: who is my neigh bor? In Leviticus, a neighbor was held to be one's own people and the lawyer probably felt that if Je sus departed from this accepted dogma, he could be accused of con tradicting the scripture. : The Parable of the Good SamarL tan was Jesus' answer to the ques tion. How easily and wonderfully he avoided the trap set by the law yer, and declared everlasting truth which ven the questioner himself had to confirm. Instead of setting a Qimit to the scope of love, and raising a 'restriction upon the duty of a man to his fellows, Jesus taught a love which knew no limit, recognized no. barrier and gave not only of time," but also of resources and ability. The thoughtful and careful love exhibited by the Samaritan in this story has caused subsequent gen erations to refer to him as' the "Good Samaritan," placing an ad jective before him which is-not mentioned in the gospel record, for Jesus only referred to him is a "certain Samaritan," designating him by the same word used in ref erence to the victim of the robbers, the priest and the benefactor, The story is probably familiar to all. A man on the descending road from Jerusalem to Jericho was at tacked by robbers, who left him ybare and badly hurt. A priest and a Levite, both officials of the Jew ish church, passed their stricken brother and unconcerned continued on their journey. The Samaritan, of mixed blood and despised by the Jews, had pity on the wounded man, disregarded the prejudice which he knew resided in the Jew's heart toward him, and ministered to his relief. : Not only was his present needs cared for, but the Samaritan carried him to an inn and, before leaving him, madear rangements that his care and nec essities would be.jroyided for. A1J this was done without any hop Of reward, actuated orfly ,by a feeling of love -and concern for a fellow human being in distress. '. ;, ' Too many people in the worhjr to day are passers-by, justi like the priest and the Levite of this story. The former probably jexcused his callousness by ' thinking of the ceremonial defilement which would result if he touched a dead body, or fearing -that the bandits might Btffil be lurking nearby and attack , him, or possibly that some religions service would be delayed if he stopped, or maybe he knew the Le vite was following and left the (Continue on Pee Sereirj LWM.-nMf,-.. - '..-in ,., U..II i.

The great ' and thrilling music which he creates is the product of daily de votion to his art. Every fine accomplishment' in life requires the same daily devo tion.

Praer isftne of the highest gifts a man has. But if it is to become more than a spasmodic and superstitious cry for help, it too requires daily care and devotion. It takes practice! The Church stands ready to help you and your children know the great joy which comes to a man through daily prayer.
