First Great Christmas Gift.

"Hc gave His only bcgottcu
son"
The world stands upon the
threshold of that season of the
year when the thought of christ
endom instinctively turns to
the most gladstone day in the
annals of recorded time-the
birthday of the Savior of the
World.
We may not be able, without
finite understandings, to COM
prchend the height and depth
OF the great plan which came
forth from the mind of the lu-
finite and comprehended the
redemption of the entire human
race, but we find in the lnspir-
ed Word this passage of un-
mistakable import; "For God
so loved the world, that lie
gave His only begotten son,
that whatsoever believeth on
Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life
In those words we find an ep-
itome of the Divine plan. The
motive and the reason are both
set forth, and while we may
marvel over what was compre.
hended in that plan, we accept
it as great truth and know
that the emerging of the world
from darkness into light dates
from the hour when the Star of
Bethlehem flashed across the
Judean sky.
Jesus Christ was therefore
Gods first Christmas gift to a
sad and weary world. No won
der that Heavens JOY bells
rang NO wonder tnat the gates
of Paradise seemed to open
while angels looked down upon
the scene.
In that hour was born the
spirit Of cheer, peace on earth
and good Will toward men
which has never died out dur.
ing all the centuries which have
passed. There have been times
when its splendor has seemed
dimmed, and when men appear
cd to forget the sentiments OF
That first Christmas message
but ON Christmas day Itself, few
there are who do not count it a
privilege to journey in imngina.

east, to that humble cradle in tn,

made holy with It's presence.
