More of the evil in the world than we
often think for can be traced back to the
lack of home feeling in childhood days"
says the Watchman, OF Boston. ''Where
woman loses the invaluable consciousness
of the solidarity of the family They come
to feel that they stand only for them
selves, that they need not consult the in
terest of others, and they miss that happy
restraint of affection for those with whom
God united them in the closest of ties. In
spite of all that is said about the misdoings
of the children of devout parents, we be-
lieve that it will be found almost univer.
sally true that the children OF happy Chris
tian homes turn out well. They have a
special guard in their hearts against the
'seductions of evil. They do not sin against
the home, and the memory of their own
happy households weaves an ideal of the
homes they desire to build, which keeps
them brave and pure and human"

December zl.-chrlstmas: Its Message and
Morye.-Lrkc g. l-2O; John 3. I4.l7

The birth of Christ is the event to
which all prophecy points, around
which all human interests center, and
from which all blessings proceed.
What song that was that was sung
on that first Christmas night so many
years ago! It's echo Is in the air to-
day:
"Hark, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled'"
The Gospel is good news The in
carnation of Christ is a glad and
happy event. The brightest and best
morning that ever dawned on this old
earth was this Christmas dawn when
the wondering shepherds heard the
angels announcement. 1t still brings
joy to human hearts. 1t bears in its
bosom the hope of salvation. The
birth OF Christ is the worlds Joy. Not
only blessing, but ecstasy and joy are
brought to us in the coming of Christ.
Ring the bellsl Sing glad songsl Give
gifts that bring joy The happiest
incident in the history Of the uni
verse is this Bethlehem birth of Je-
sus.
The Message of Christmas is a
message of hope and joy. 1t declares
the love of God who gave his Son an
"unspeakable gift" to men. 1t de-
clares the possible salvation of all
men, for this message was to "all
people" 1t declares the helplessness
of man without Christ. 1t declares
the glory of God, for it is alone the
adequate expression OF the fact that
God so loved the world" 1t declares
universal peace on earth, and univer-
sal charity among men. 1t declares
the certain and sure triumph of the
Gospel, and the expulsion of Satan
from Gods heritage here on earth. 1t
declares Gods love to each individual
heart. 1t has a message for each
Epworth Lacquer.
Why did God give his Son to live
and die for us? Not for his own glory.
Not for spectacular purposes of ex-
hibiting his power and miraculous en-
ergy. Not for the purpose of winning
the admiration and worship of men.
But solely and only because God so
loved the world" Love was the mo-
tive power that moved the Godhead to
help and save the race. Love was the
impelling force that gave Jesus to his
ministry Of reconciliation and saliva
tlon. Love is the motive that should
move us at this glad Christmas season.
Christ must be born in each heart
in order that we may have a true
Christmas. Are you rejoicing in the
gifts of human love? Be not unmind-
full OF him who is the unspeakable
gift Turn not the Christ of God away
from the hearts inn. Heavens gift
Is now offered without money and
without price. Receive him with glad
Melcome"

The Fathers Hand.

! Nor is the sense of safety all that is
awakened in the memory of a fathers
hand. 1t tells also of guidance and com
panionship. Not only in stormy evenings
was the large hand reached down to clasp
the little one. But memory is filed with
pleasant outlines and beauties of the coun-
try, always guided by the fathers hand.
The hand of father came to mean so much.
both of pleasure and comfort, that the
phrase is never seen or used but sacred
tenderness steals into the heart. All this
and much more the Heavenly Father is to
His children. We reserve our thoughts of
the Father too frequently to the days
stress and grief, and forget it is the Fathei
who gives the joys and pleasures, too. We
think 30 much Of the pitying Father, and
imagine falsely that His care is confined
to circumstances that call for pity His
hand is bountiful hand, filled with pleas
Iures "The way is dark; my Father takes
my hand" is often upon our lips, but just
as true and far more frequently the path
has many flowers, all planted by one hand
life has many gifts all planted by one hand,
the days are crowded with JOYS all show
cred from one hand. And this hand is
l"my Fathers hand. "-Episcopal Recorder.
