CHRISTMAS TIME SEES CAPTURE
OF JERUSALEM BY THE
british ARMIES

The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief intcrludes, of more than
100 years possession of the seat of
the Christian religion by the Moham-
dams. For 673 years the Holy
City has been in disputed ownership
of the Turks. the last Christian ruler
of Jerusalem being the German En-
peror. Frederick. whose short lived
domination lasted from 1923 to 1924.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur-
key by the British in MesOpotamia,
the fall of Jerusalem marks the de-
finite collapse of the long -protracted
efforts of the Turks to capture the
Suez canan and invade Egypt.

Sunday School Lesson
COMMENTS BY REV. ERNEST BOURNER ALLEN, D. D.
Pastor Of the Washington Street Congregational Church
and the Marian Lawrance Sunday School, Toledo, Ohio

Among the crowd that gathered
about the missionary was little
black boy, who did not take his eyes
off the minister's face once during the
talk The minister smiled at him
when he said goodbye. and asked
him if he liked the story. He nodded
his head and smiled back. Then,
said the minister tell it to some one
who needs Christ's help very much.
After the missionary had gone
away, the little boy thought of lit
tie forlorn shepherd boy on the hills
who had Il cruel master. Once the
shepherd boy had helped the other
boy when he was hurt. and had taken
him home. so it was this shepherd boy
that the African missionary boy
thought of right away. He went to
hunt for him and found him taking
care of some sheep on the plains.
When he told him. as best he could,
about the Babe OF Bethlehem, The
shepherd boy said: Il am going to
lind him. Is he at the station al

|. CHRISTMAS, 1917
Not for many centuries has the
world seen Christmas which could
at all approach the condition of things
at Christmas time 1917. Practically
the entire world is at war. Our own
nation is seriously involved. A mil
lion men have been called to the col
ors. Notable sacrifices are ahead of
lis.
1t behooves all thoughtful men and
women to give serious consideration
to the condition of things in the
world We should ask ourselves
whether the world needs more re-
ligion or less. Does it need more of
the teaching of Jesus Christ or less?
Will the proclamation of the Gospel
help the world out of its present ter
rible catastrophe?
The majority sentiment of the
world is in favor of righteousness,
Justice and freedom. Twenty one ma
tions have already declared war
against Germany. The moral senti
ment Of humanity has come of age.
We do not mean that all of these
twenty one nations are perfect or
faultless, but we do mean that we be-
lieve they have lined up on the side
of right They would give little ma
tions "A chance to live. They believe
that people are fit to govern them
selves and should be allowed to work
out their government unhindered by
the rich and mighty. They believe
that those who are strong ought to
bear the infirmities of the weak.
H.. THE PROMISED SAVIOUR
Four hundred years before Jesus
was born, the prophet Malachi declar-
ed that God would send a messenger
to prepare the way before him. The
coming messenger was to "sit as a re-
finer and purifier of silver" The
Jewish people had great expectations
of the coming of the king. They
thought he would overthrow the Ro-
man rulers and give back the govern
ment to the Jews. They believed he
would work wonderful changes in the
social order and that great blessings
would attend his reign. Everywhere
the story of his coming would bring
comfort and help to the world.
Ear over in Africa one day mis-
sionary passed through village. He
stayed only few hours, but while he
was there he gathered the people to-
gether and told them the Christmas
story about Bethlehem and about the
wonderful child who was born there
You know the story well, but to these
poor black people ii was all new.

III. CHRISTMAS OFFERINGS

The greatest gift which anybody
can ever make at Christmas time is
to give his life in Loving allegiance
to God and to service for humanity.
In these days when war brings so
much sorrow, poverty and loss to the
whole world we ought to be specially
careful about our rights. There are
many homes where an Interchange of
gifts might be reduced to the mini
mum and the balance put into the
fund to help the suffering Armenian
and Syrian orphans. We cannot
make our gifts this year on the same
basis as we have been doing. There
is Il call from suffering. staggering hu
manity which we must not ignore.
This IS time when we can teach
children how to be unseltish in Civ
ing. Let every home in America
share it's measure of food and cloth
ing with the world in need. Let every
church see that its Christmas enter
tainment and Christmas giving shares
something with the whole world.
