2 long time until n was ready to re-
ceive it. And yet, after long years of
waiting-when God gave the Gift of
His Beloved Son, how few were will
ing to accept the Gift. How little was
the welcome when the born King
and Savior made His appearance. The
records tell us "therc was nc room in
the inn" for him. Some may contend
er and others in that day as Gods
Gift-the Savior of man, otherwise He
would have found a place and a well
come. Ny reply to this is, had they
opened their hearts to Gods grace as
they should, prior to the day of his
coming, they would have had spiritu-
the fulfllment of all their hopes of a
Messiah. And with the few on earth
who had this vision, together with the
angelic choir would have been able
to have sung, GLORY to God in the
Highest, on earth peace, goodwill
toward men," "Fear not, for behold,
| bring you tidings of great JOY.
which shall be unto all people. For
unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Savior which is Christ. the
Lord" And shall it not be true that
those of US who throughout the year
have opened our lives to the truths OF
God and the inspiration and leader
ship of His Spirit, shall on this cele-
bration day sing our songs with the
deepest spirit of gratitude and joy?

France is exceptionally rich in
carols, which are often drinking songs
as in many European countries. We
find many French carols translated into
English. no doubt as a result Of the
intercourse which existed. between
jewellers on either side Of the channel,
in the days when English youths often
pursued their studies In France.
There is a great deal Of discussion

CHRISTMAS AND THE
SPIRIT OF GOOD WILL
BY Rev. Carl p. Bast.

The spirit Of Goodwill has been
the dominant note of Christmas-time
ever since the dawn of the first
Christmas Morning. This spirit was
impaired by the messengers of heaven
to the shepards as they watched their
focks on the first Christmas Night.
Each year ever since it has returned,
even in periods of turmoil and distress
to remind US of Gods great gift TO
men. And today as we exchange
greetings or bring u gifts to loved
ones it is Good Will that has put the
desire to do SC into u hearts.
During the Christmas Season of
this year we have to rejoice as
never before because the spirit of
Goodwill is expanding in its in
huence. No longer is it a passing
sentiment but is becoming a directing
motive in life. One evidence of this
fact can be seen in the new interna-
tional program set forth by the Dis
armament Conference at. Washing
ton. The world was startled by the
definite proposal of our Secretary Of
State that all nations begin work at
once on a practical program of dis
armament. But it is even a more sig
nificant fact that such action was
proposed because the people of all the
nations we're demanding it. We do not
longer wish to live in an hostile at
mosphere but desire to dwell with one
another in the spirit of friendship.
There is increasing evidence that
this spirit will some day completely
leaven our social, industrial, and po-
litical life. To be sure we are much
disturbed by the present social unrest,
by the strife that persists between
capitol and labor, and the bitterness
that is so frequently manifest between
various political factions: But never
| before was there such a determined
! and united effort put forth to bring
| men together in a spirit of under
standing and united effort to solve our
common problems in the interests of
all. The period of depression which
has temporarily settled upon us, as
a result of the sins of the world, is
only turning our faces to the true
source of light and hope. We are as
sured, not only from the pulpit, nut
from business ME and social leaders
as well, that our only hope in the fu-
ture lies in the application of the
ideals Of Jesus to all conditions of life
As this conviction is taking aeirmel
root in the hearts Of menwesmay look
with tnwavering hope toward the
speedy coming Of the day when the
whole social fabric shall be permeat-
ed with the spirit of Christmas and
! Good Will.

SNNiy
Probably no Christmas would seem
complete without the well-knOwn and
popular hymn, "Hark! the Herald
Angels Sing"
The word carol, which originally
meant a dance, is thought to have
come into our language either from
the Norman French carole or from the
Celtic carol.
In 1922 Davies Gilbert published
'some ancient Christmas carols, with
The tunes to which they were former
ly sung in the west Of England" In
his preface he declared himself to be

actual forms, as specimens Of times

try shepherds abiding in the fields
keeping watch over their iocks by
night, And the angel said unto them,
"Fear not for behold I bring you It'd

people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a saviour which is

Every word here is important.
l. A Saviour is born; Salvation was

heart had warnings.
2. A Saviour is born; Man needed

between sinful humanity and the pure
and lofty God.

dreams Of sages, the u~tterances Of

pious are at length fulfilled. Today
the long promised Deliverer is born.
4. "Unto you a Saviour is born"

but unto all men was He born.

This l take to be a prediction. Christ
is the Prince of Peace. The world is

bring peace. /. BY reconciling the
world to God. 2. By subduing mans
spirit of rebellion, and giving him
peace thru faith. 3. By laying down
principles of peace between man and

toward men.
III. THE WISE PROCEDURE.
The shepherds first went to see for
themselves, and then spread the news
and glorified God. Let us seek the
Experience - salvation - From sin,

Gospel OF peace may rule in mans

DAY OF REJOICING
BY REV. FIED H. RAY.


"For unto you is born this day in
the city Of David a Savior, which is
Christ, the Lord" st Luke 2:11.
We have come to celebrate a birth
day which indeed is the greatest in all
the world. A celebration, in which
all classes of humanity can rejoice.
This then indeed is a glad day. One
in which we cannot afford to feel
mean or sad. This a day of song and
mirth, for "unto You IS born this day
in the city Of David a Savior, which
is Christ, the Lord" Then whatever
III ROW or disappointments may
be, it must all be forgotten on this
celebration day in the thought of the
wonderful gift which is ours, namely,
"A Savior, which is Christ, the Lord"

PEKING. March 21.-(A. 20
Whether adoption. by foreigners Of
Chinese girls depfives the legitimate
PARENTS of right to interfere with
matrimonial plans for the foster
daughter is the subject of suit before
the High Court of Justice of Shantung.
according to dispatch from Tsinanfu
1t Is alleged that many missionaries
have adopted young Chinese girls of
poor families, and that these have
usually been sent abroad to be educat-
ed. The cause of trial seeks to estaD-
lish the right of the girls foster par
ents in the selection of a husband.
An instruction from the Supreme
Court of Peking is alleged to be in
favor Of the legitimate parents.
