LESSON IN SPIRIT
OF CHR|STMASDAy
Ministers Deliver Annual YuIe-
tide Messages From
Their PuIpitS,

1.-THE spirit of Christmas has again
come to earth, bringing with it joy
and happiness" the Rev. Charles H.
Gunsolus said Sunday night while de-
livering his Christmas message at the
Brightwood Congregational Church.
1.-TWO thousand years ago the angels
sang Peace on Earth, Good Will To
ward Men, Glory to God in the High
est" he said. They are still sing
ing, and If we will but open our
spiritual ears we can hear them.
The birth of Jesus is the greatest
event in the history Of the world The
Incarnation is the greatest miracle of
the ages. bringing God down to man.
Christmas is the feast Of the ma
tivity Of Christ. celebrated on Dec.
25 There was no room in the inn
for Jesus. In too many hearts today
there is no room for Him and His
saving grace.
The wise men followed the star
and were led to JESUS. If we are wise
we also will come to Jesus Christ and
lay all our treasures at His feet.
THE spirit Of Jesus teaches us that
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. The Yuletlde is the time to
practice the theory Of the golden rule
and to love our neighbor The world
will pay all homage to Bethlehem, for
unto US a child is given andfa Savior
is born" he said.
