SCHOLARSHIP AT THE
FEET OF CHRIST

At the First Congregational church.
Norwich ncwn, the pastor, Rev. G. F.
Bailey took for his Christmas theme
Scholarship at the feet Of Christ"
from Matt. 2:1-2. 'Wise men from
the east came to Jerusalem, saving:
where is he that is born king of the
Jews, for we have seen his star in the
east and ar. come to worship him."
1t will Go US good at this season of
the year to read again the opening
chapters of Ben Hur The value of that
book is seen in the splendid background
whic hit furnishes for the gospel story
of the first Christmas and indeed for
the whole earthly career of our Lord.
1 am sure 1t Will not take the poetry
out of the beautiful story of the Wise
men from the east If we are told by
outside authority, that a conjunction nf
planets occurred in the year 74S after
the foundfn gof Rome, and that the
Chinese calendar bears witness that a
new star did actually appear in this
esooch The significant thing Is that the
Magi came from the east to find the
Jewish king, and having found him fell.
down mad MprshRoped him as the world s
Emancipator. Here is scholarship at the
feet of Christ.
All our human accomplishments need
to be warned in tn eSunshine OF the
Christian religion. knowledge Is power
But power for e,ood in the world.
All the best thoughts in the universe
were born in the passion of the heart
Great works Of art survive the centuries
because they were created and not made
This Christmas season will not have
pa ssed in vain if the world can be LED
to realize that Heaven can not b'
brought to earth by cold logic or any
othher exercise of human wisdom unfes:
that human wisdom is warmed by faitt
and love and issues In good will ant
good works among men.

L. Roberts, Fh. D., pastor of the church.
! took his text from Matt. 1:21. He said
| in part:
Birth OF Jesus not beginning Of new

son taking upon himself human form
and nature. 1t is the visitation Of God.
Jesus more than revealer of God-John

Since Alexander subdued the world?
Since Plato finished Greek philosophy
/ Since the fall of rome, revival of learn

revolution? None of these world-shak-
ing events but since birth Of Jesus.

name alone written on wings Of time. His
birth makes dividing line across surg

Many other saviours from tyranny, ig-

which is cause Of alt-root Of woes OF
mankind is sin and Jesus saves from
that
Before sin every other person and
agency is helpless and dumb, yet destroy
this topmost and war, crime wretched
ness, lawlessness, etc, would cease-but
never until then. Christ will take away
sin for every one who asks.

The Christmas seaa-n has every right
to be hap3iee., most promising season
in our whole calendar Of time and
events, for the simple reason that it con
tains within itself, the greatest poten-
tial force for the happiness, peace and
tranquility Of mankind, of an the sea

Jesus tnlplicf ly states, that he came

that, II am not here to destroy your
religion but to fulfill its requirements
| His birth indicated that that whicf
| is best for the world Is in one sense
| far eff and yet very near, near enough
| to be real. All the machines of pro
gress made by man have in them a grea.
potential use Of pure benefit, and Jesu!
came to recall men to the pure mature
of them in themselves and their uses &C

Christ Child was told in song and sermon
in the churches of Norwich Christmas
day. All the churches were most attrac-
tive in their Christmas, decorations The
day dawned with overfanging clouds and
chill winds, accompanied by brief snow
squalls from time to time but the wealth
er evidently had but little effect on the
size of the Christmas morning congrega-
tons.
In all the churches special and un-
usually attractive musical programs fea-
tured by soloists. quartettes and cantatas
were carried out under the direction of
the choristers. Several of the churches
held cf1ildren's carol services and Sum

at the evening service at the Central
Baptist church Special sermons marked
the day in the various churches of the
