Peace on Edrth
BY ADJUTANT GEORGE TANNER
 (SaIvation Armyl

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had the Lord" John 20. 1s
 On this Christmas Day we come to the hour of restored joy, which is richer and deeper because fuller than the joy of the Savor's birth Christmas tells of the first coming of Christ to earth, with blessings for lost world. But Jesus lost to his disciples when he went down into the darkness of death Mary's message is of Savior again from the darkness, and beyond death in Immortal life Only part of the joy from the Birth. Here we have the full joy telling of accomplished redemption and glor- ious victory over death and the grave Hope lost on the Friday of Chrst's death; the stars are shining again never again to be ecipsed
 So this really is the full Christmas message It tells not merely of Savior born but also of a Savior that has lived, obeyed, suffered died and risen again, and is able therefor to save unto the uttermost all who come unto God by Him. The when they came to see the newborn King We Savior with the print of the nails in his hands and feet who has wrought a full and glorious redemption for the world
 Jesus appeared to Mary after he had come again from death; yet death had not extinguished one beam of his brightness. The resurrection was a type and prophecy of the future resurrection of all who believe in him and sleep in Him It shows us therefor, that death does not destruction, is not the end of life It is but incident, ex- perience, and life goes afterward without loss or marring. We ought to try to learn this blessed truth. Life is not worth living which is bounded by earths little horizon and does not reach out into immortality. Indeed, do not really begin to live until living for immortality.

herds of the hills, through the quiet watches of the night and because of their very duties became a thoughtful people. They medtated upon the mes sage Unto you is born a Savior" not great teacher only, not wonder worker merely, but a Saviorl Let us, like the shepherds tarry awhile and mediate upon the truth and the significance of the Advent.
 See That There Is Room in Your Inn: Do not be so busy crowding in Christmas activities that you will be guilty of the folly of crowding out Christ Make sure that there is room for Christ in your heart-inn.
 Take Up the Song of the Angels: That song is first of all of praise Glory to God in the highest; and it is also song of peace, On earth peace among men" It bids us sing that "a peace on earth among and among nations.
 Make a Love Gift to the King: We read that the kings of the East offered unto Christ gifts and we too may make love gifts to the King-through the love and devotion of heart and of daily life; by faithfulness to His Church; and in prac- tica Christlke ministries towards others, for the Master himself has said "Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of these my brethren, ye do it unto me"
 Our Christmas Message Is This: Study the signs like the wise men, tarry awhile like the shepherds, see that there is room for Christ in your heart inn; take up the song of the angels, and make a love gift to the King. Or, in other words, seek the truth regarding the Advent; mediate upon it; embrace it with all your heart; rejoice in it and share it with others the world around

Christ1nds Visions
BY THE REV. DAVID wAGGoNER First Presbyterian Church.

Let go unto Bethlehem, and see" Luke 2:15. Surely had been the hills of Judea that first Christmas Eve, too would have said even as the shepherds, Let us go even unto Bethlehem, and see"
 With quiet steps draw nigh to the place of which the angels told What do we behold? A baby in manager crib; young mother bend ing near; barn, and cattle stabled there. Mere things of human life. Is that all? Is it of these the angels sung?
 Beyond these lowy facts in that humble scene at Bethlehem, the fulfllment of the great promises of God foretold by the prophets of old. We see there the fulfillment of Gods promise to the and the in the garden; the full fiment of Gods promise to Abraham the ful- fment of Gods promise to David. God promised unto David that of his seed He would set Prince upon his throne, Prince who would reign forever. And that promised Prince had come to Bethle- hem For unto you is born this day in the city of David Savior who is Christ the Lord" No word of God ever fails; no promise is ever broken.
 great mystery lies there before in the manager. God in the flesh This little helpless babe is very God Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his Immanuel, which being inter preted is God with us Thus God revealed to that might know and understand Him. That little babe was laid in his mothers arms that we might know the meaning of motherhood of home, and the value of little child.
 As we look, again we seem to hear the angels sing Peace earth good will to men" Surely God loves man. God loves this sinful human race Yes God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beeveth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" This is the greatest of Christmas thoughts.

More Blessed to Give
BY HAROLD L. WOOD tPastor, seventh Day Adventist Chur'


 For Christian, versed in his religious back with the richness of centuries. The first Christmas celebration of the birth of Christ is recorded in 284-305 AID, when Diocletan. holding court al Nicomedia learned that a multitude of Christians had assembled in the city for that purpose and set fire to the building, whereby all the worshipers pershed in the flames
 It would be useless to contend that the Christian celebration did not draw heavily upon the pagan festivals of the Romans. None of the early Chris tians, for instance, believed that Christ born in the winter since they very shepherds were not watching their focks in the open at that time of year. But the 18th of December chosen because all pagan nations regarded the winter solstice the turning point of the year, the begin ming of renewed life and activity of the powers of nature.
 The church has sought to combat the deep rooted heather feeling of Christmas by adding it's grsndly devised liturgy and it's dramatic interpretations of the birth of Christ. Hence have sprung up the manager songs, the mutitudes of Christmas carols, the Christmas drama and cantatas, the custom of decorating church with holly and evergreen.
 Enriched and carrying with it the symbols and usageS of many generations and nations. each add ing it's bit of color and history the Christian festival comes to us today as a symbol of the Christ spirit that it is more blessed to give than to receive. He who gave Himself for humanity inspires the bringing of gifts not only to friends and relatives, but to all welfare and charitable work carried on in love for Him who gave the greatest gift

BY BISHOP J. R. CRIMONT Bishop of Alaska)


 To all citizens within the Territory of Alaska extend best wishes for a Merry Christmas, and the hope that the New Year about to dawn will con- tain unparalleled happiness and prosperity to all in the great domain of Alaska
 Next Wednesday celebrate Christmas Day, observed throughout the Christian world It com memorates the birth of Christ who has been called The Prince of Peace" It is my earnest prayer that the rulers and governing bodies of all nations, the brink of the precipice of war, will adhere to the principles of Christ, whose mis- sion to bring peace earth to men of good will not only among nations but among states, counties and municipalities, down to the smallest social unit, the family
 Because nations have departed from the teach iags and admonitions of Christ, actual and pros pective war has been the unfortunate and dreaded calamity which has befallen them Our beloved America has always implored Divine Guidance in her difficulties and it has been nobly exemplified from Washington to the present Chief Magistrate of the nation, who before assuming office, be- seeched God to so guide and direct him that we should continue forefathers planned and prayed would be Christian nation placing implicit trust in Him from whom all blessings flow.

Honor Christ at Christmas
BY THE REV. CHAs. C. PERsoNEUs
 (Pentecostal Mission;

Again the Christmas season has come with it's busy days and glad preparations for a happy time. Good wishes sent far and wide to friends and relatives. Gifts bought and prepared for loved ones. There is feeling of goodwill and cheer in the Christmas air, and many hearts made happy by the spirit of kindness and love at Christmas time
 But how much thought do we give to the Lord Jesus who brought the joys of Christmas? If God had not "so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." would have Christmas. But do we honor Him as we should? Many people profess to believe in God as the Supreme Being, but they ignore His greatest lovegft to man. Jesus His only begotten Son.
 We should honor the Lord Jesus at Christmas and not myth called Santa Claus. In the Gospel of St. John we read: All should honor the Son. even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father which hath sent Him" God says in His Word: Them that honor us. I will honor" Let us honor the Lord Jesus Christ this Christmas.

ChristmQs Meaning
BY THE REV. O. L. KENDALL
 Methodist Church.

Christmas-What does it mean? To me it means that time when all the world declares a war on selfishness. Mother, who is always fighting selfish ness, doubles her energies to make the family happy Father forgets his business engagements for a time to get some little things for family and friends. Even the children visit the ten-cent store and forget themselves for the sake of others. The poor and helpless not forgotten. To finish the season Old General Santa comes from the north with his reindeer and his pack and selfshness is completely routed.
 The whole world realizes what is meant by the saying, Tt is blessed to give than to re- ceive." The heart of the Great Master of men must rejoice when he the attempt of men to make true the message of the angels who sang at His birth, Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace good will toward men"
 If the Christmas spirit could last throughout the year, our social problems would fade into insgnificance
