Golden text: Beloved, if God 50 loved us, we also ought to love one another.—I John, iv.11. Christmas fills the world with glad- | ness and joy, because it causes men to realize God's love for them. When we | feel the spirit of doubt, bred by the difficulties of the moment, it quickly disappears when we realize that we have a God who cares for us and who has proven His love for us by giving reme gift of all time in the advent of the Lord Jesus. John, who was called “one whom Jesus loved.” tried to make men know the deity of the Master in his gospel. When he came to write his epistles, the fame note appears in them as it did in s gospel. Evidently he was trying to imp: upon all his_epistles how God demonstrated His fellowship w.th us in the gift of His only bogotten son. He was trying by his first epistle, which was a circular letter written to warn th> members in the churches where he had worked, against the heresy of that tigle. He desired to etimulate their faith in the personality of the risen Christ. Schafl sees in John's first 1ot ter an endeavor to counteract the in- fluence of the “Gnostic ‘antichrists.’ who deny the mystery of the incarna- tion, sunder religion and morality, and run into Antinomian prastics The Love Test. Christmas reveals the spirit of love and good will among men, who have come into the followship of God, whose supreme gift of love has become the source of human love. Just as the birth of the Christ child in Bethlehem manger attracted the attention of the scholars, who had ceen His star in the heavens and worshiped Him by their gifts of the most valued possessions of their land. so we express our devotion and loyalty to Christ Jesus by our gifts for His glory to help our fellow men, The noblest attributes of our life re- flect the potent influence of our fellow- ship with the Lord Jesus. We not only love one another, because of our spirit- ual relationship to our Savior, but we demonstrate by our love that we have been born again. Christ entered the human race so that men should come to know God John taught that Christ’s birth had its Yoots in eternity. The Father revealed His love for us not only in the advent of our Lord but also in His crucifixion. While the whole life of the Master demonstrated the love of God for us, He revealed the outreach of His love by making it possibie that we should be- come companions of our Savior in God's service. It is this fact that makes the spirit of Christmas one of sacrifice and self-denial. The union of faith revealed by love proves our fel- lowship with God. If we lack love, we do not possess eternal life. This truth John taught in his gospel, where we read. “He that believeth not the Son all not see life. but the wrath of God ideth upon him.” Do we love God, who first loved us and our brothers in Christ Jesus? If we do we will meet the test of love not only on Christmas but every day by our love for the brotherhood and all mankind. God's Love Manifested. Amidst the discouragements of the hour and the difficulties of life, many a soul his raised the question does God carc? Following the lowly shepherds, who under the inspiration of the an- | gelic chorus left their flocks and sought the_new-born child, whom they found in Bethlehem's manger and worshiped, join the multitudes who at this sea- son’of the year are insired by the mes- sage of Christmas, in adoring the Christ Child. We rejoice that God manifested His love toward us in the gift of His only begotten Son, wWho came into the DOUBLE CHRISTMAS ‘CHRISTMIAS CAROL | SERVICE PLANNED Dr. Sizoo to Preach Special Cast of 35 to Present Dick-| Yule Sermons in Morning and Evening.

Men could have learned the lesson of | the love of God for us in th: works of The Mas- the grace and mer in the laws that regu- lated the uni > and in His provision for man. A great I n was needed | and the iscarnation brought that mes- sage to the world, teaching it in a way | they could understand God's love for men and women, who had failed by providing for them a salvation. *idere- in was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent His only begot- ton Son into the world that we might | live through Him. Herein is love, not | that we Joved God. but that he loved u and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” Christ came that we might know God. In His life in the flesh men had a vision of the Eternal One, th>y could | urderstand. life, they saw not only the purity of God, but His love | in the k Jesus perfogmed. -During | His ministry, the Master went every- | where pre. ng th: good nows and| helping humanity, healing the sick and | feeding the muliitude moved by compassion for men. His life man fested the love of God, that is of a spir- itual nature, more than any other pe son s expressed the po song, specch, symphony or It is our privileg: to enjoy t our own expericnce if w His gift of s and abide love. If we dwe! will confess Him bzfore 1 to them r daily been with Chr of the Almight; e that we have nd learned of Him Perfecting Love. God's love for us is personal. It is the key that solves the mystery of sc row, suffering e, for we know that “all things wor her for good for those who love the Lord.” The sad trial, the bitter testing and the burn ing tears are all necessary in the devel- opment of our character. We cannot become like Christ if we fail to suffer, sacrifice and serve Him in a life of self- denial. Where there cxists a love which can look beyond the clouds and de mine to face even death itself, that sou reveals 2 hope for the future that is based upon God's love. His love for us is limited by our ca- pacity to receive it. He wants our love We can never understand his love unles we recipre stion to Him and the p kingdom. Our Heavenly F: us the privi- lege of bein el the ontcome laber, so that we should live such liv of love we would not be afraid to face the judgment seat of the Lord. “As He is, so are we" of this world. Our Lord Iy cause He loved us and longed that we should enjoy fellowship with Him in glory. He gave us of His peace so that, amidst the trials of life, we should not be afraid. Our love is being perfected by the experiences of our dally life. Christ’s love for us aids ws to endure the difficulties of the moment. His love helps us to love the souls for whom He died. It gives us courage to attempt |the impossible for Him, knowing that He is with us and will impart to us something of His uplifting love and power that will perfect our life. The spirit of Christmas fills the world with a longing for peace that the angels promised to men of good will.
