I nodded.

GIVING CHRISTMAS GIFTS
(By Miss Idella L. Breland)
Virgins. Mississippi

Christmas Christmas Its almost mere
end every body is hoping and wishing
that the Christmas holidays will be one
Of the greatest seasons of the year
What can we do to make it grand? We
take all we can get and never give
anything in return that's what same are
planning to do. Lets get an idea diff
ferent from that. Suppose we plan to
give a few lifts instead of taking all
we can get. Lets give them directly
lrcn our hearts as we know that God
viii bless the cheerful giver. These
gifts don't have to be expensive in
Ger to be appreciated. Then the ques-
tons comes to whom shall we give the
gift? To some one who has a plenty
arc und and able to get what he or
she desires? Why no, give it to some
me who has nothi,s5 to go upon, those
who are crippled and sick will appre-
ciate it mere than words can express.
There are plenty of poor children a
found you who will not be able to buy
the least bit of fruit for Christmas
They wont be able to serve good
Christmas dinner and Santa may not
even come their way You who will
have plenty of fruits and stocking full
Of toys, divide with that poor little
hey and girl who hasen't anything and
see how they will leap for joy.
When serving your Christmas dinner
fix a lunch or q nice basket for that
poor I'D mother and father who were
not so fortunate as you were. Remem-
Der the sick, visit them and carry them
something if its nothing but a nice
bunch Of roses made out Of crepe paper
You don't have the least idea how
lauch this would mean to them. Rem
ember friend in need is friend in
deed and when we help one we are
working for Jesus and he says the least
we do for Him will will be precious
in His sight.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TO
PIC: A Christian Christmas
By f. w. Young
A VISION OF WORLD PEACE
LESSON TEXT Isaiah 11:1-9

/ L
PIC: A Christian Christmas
! GOLDEN TEXT: The earth shall be
full Of the knowledge of the Lord as
the water cover the sea-" lisa. 11:9)
In this poetic description of Isaiah's
vision of world peace, we have the
statement of this Judean statesman
with reference to the prophetice vision
of Christ Jesus who was to be. Isaiah
saw Jesus as Branch growing up out
of the dry ground, with his roots hid
den under the earth and the Spirit rest
ing upon him, filling him with wisdom,
understanding and might, Isaiah saw
Jesus as a righteous judge, one who
would give every man a chance. He
said that he would not judge his sub
iects accordilt to material things, but
with Righteousness would He judge the
POOR and the rich alike, giving every
man his just deserts. The meek and
humble, according to Isaiah's vision
belong to the Lord Jesus and IN mis-
righteous judgement, he shall show
mercy unto them.
But he is against the wicked, and
therefore will STAY them in his wrath
a ainst them, for righteousness, in the
day of world wide peace, shall domin-
ate the earth.
NOTES ON THE TEXT
A ROD OUT OF THE STEM OF
JESSE.
Verse 1. A branch out of the stock OF
Jesse is the real meaning. Jesse was {
lew of - tribe of Judah, the son ii
Obed, the grandson of Boaz and Ruth
He was also the father OF David and
an ancestor Of Christ.
The SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL
REST UPON HIM.
Verse;. This is a prediction OF super
natural endowment which is to charac-
terize the Messianic person who IS
herein promised.
HE SHALL NOT JUDGE AFTER THE
SIGHT OF HIS EYES.
Verse 3. Being systematically en-
lowed he will not be dependent upon
finite eyes for judgement but will be
uo.. sscd with divine discernment by
which he will discover the normal and
spiritual qualities of human actions.
HE SHALL SMITE THE EARTH
WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH
Verse 4. This is a proboble mistran-
scription in the original. The word OPP
pressor should be in place of the word
earth" The two Hebrew words are SO
near alike that it is easy for a transcrl-
her to make such a mistake. Satan, the
oppressor. is to be Sm.tten by the rod
of his mouth which is the Word of God
or the sword OF the Spirit.
RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL BE THE
GIRDLE OF HIS LOINS.
Verse 5. The girdle Of the loins was
the symbol Of vigorous and resolute
action, his spCless record for righte-
BUSINESS was to be the prompting and
stimulating force for such action.
THE COW AND THE BEAR SHALL
FEED.
Verse 7. The COW and the hungry
wolf shall Craze or eat together
y erse s. (Cockatrice) A kind CT
crested venomous serpent of the adder
family of great danger.

 In the one-over one system. high card tricks are the primary values on which original bids are based. but distributional values are often the determining factor in subsequent bidding.
