And this good news from Heaven is for
ell men and women and children. Good
news for some people is sometimes bad
news for others. But here is some good
news for every one-for the Chinese and
the japanese and the Negroes-for all
nations. Good news for poor and rich.
for children and for old people. and this
is the message: Unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Savior who is
Christ the Lord"
Christ came into the world to make
Us Christians-make US like himself. He
was pure and kind and full of love to
all, and II is not easy for US to be like
him.
1t has been said that we all have wild
beasts in our hearts. and it is not easy
for US to tame and conquer them. Some
times we snap and snarl and then the
wolf is in our hearts. Sometimes we are
selfish and ungrateful and then the swine
is showing itself. Sometimes we are de-
ceitful and revengeful, then il is the
tiger in our hearts. Sometimes there is
NAAC SOSPASlOAs Adull-ilIlulIB spirit WHICH
hunts for evil-this is the vulture. To
muzzle and train these animals in our
selves, to draw their teeth and claws and
stings, to conquer them and make them
our helpers-this is what Christ will do
for US.
If We are like Christ we shall be striv-
ing to make others happy
One day just before Christmas a letter
came to a postoffice directed TO Mr.. Santa
Claus What should the postmaster do
with it? He opened it in the presence Of
some gentlemen. 1t was from a little girl
asking Santa Claus for some good things
for her father. her sick mother AMI her
little brother but she did not ask any
thing for herself. The gentlemen made
inquiry and found the family very poor,
found the little girl who showed the
spirit of Christ by seeking good things
for others rather than for herself Christ
mas came and the needed things came
to the family. and the little girl herself
was not forgotten.
AS we give and receive good gifts on
Christmas day let US not forget to say.
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable
gift"
