Learning Joy of Giving.

When God indicated to the wise men the
meaning OF the star they did not hesitate
as to their action. At once they started
on the long journey to worship the King
They knew well that the trip would in
yolve much hardship. Perhaps there
would be loss, too. for it would be neces-
sary to keep away from their accustomed
work for a long season. But what of
that? The King was coming to earth,
and they must be present to welcome
Him with worship and with gifts. What
would they have in return for their pri-
vation and sacrifice? The Joy Of giving.
Was that not enough? What more would
one want in return for his gifts?
Arrived at Bethlehem, the wise men
gave the very best they had to the King.
1t was their best, not merely because
gold and frank incense and myrrh made
up the costly gifts. but because they We're
giving themselves with 1t. So they show
to people of today how to give to God
They are not to give in the spirit in
which some are tempted to give to their
friends. measuring their gifts and saying,
This Is good enough for him. Nothing
Is good enough for gift but our best.
The gift itself may be small, but unless
it Is INSPIRED by a better thought than
this is good enough it would better not
be made.

terial from beneath, being careful
not to cut the embroidery of the

made wholly in outline and still
