Tb$ committee’* selection of this Scripture paaaage for a Christina* les­ sen la most fitting. The birth o f Christ •—the entrance of the Son of God upon the' condition of humanity—was the sspreme expression of 'God’s I oyo (John 8:16). The meaning of Christ­ mas rightly apprehended'will put love In fhe heart o f a man for his fellows, i. The Origin of Lov# (vv, 7, 8), Lore is o f God for God in the es­ sence of his being Is love, God does not merely love, he Is the fountainhead o f all lore. Lore o f country, love of humanity, filial and parental love— every particle of lore everywhere, has , been derived from God. His love-is In­ finite, eternal and unchangeable. Since love Is o f God, every one who loves la born o f God and knoweth God. The Christian by his life o f love Interprets ' God to the world.. li. God's Manifestation of Love (vv. 9, 10). t God's method of making known his loro is through the incarnation, the sending of his only begotten Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins (John 3 :i0 ). The coming of Jesus Christ into the world and his: taking upon himself human nature mtkeB eternal life possible for those who receive hlm.Jif one would know God's' love, let him look at Jesus Christ. Those Who gaze upon him with reverent contemplation cannot doubt God’s love. III. Th* Supreme Motive of Love (V. 11). God's love Is the grand incentive for bringing his children to love. Since the Heavenly Father loves, his chil­ dren should show their resemblance to him; In the proportion that we ap­ prehend God’s love, In that measure ' we will love his children. IV, Love, the Proof That God Dwell* With Ua (vv. 12-16). . 1. No man hath seen God at any time (v. 12). But there is abundant proof o f his being. The unmistakable evidence of his being is love in; the heart o f man. Love is not . native to the human heart, fo r the heart is deceitful above- all things and des­ perately wicked (Jer. 17:9). Out of the heart proceeds murder (Mt. 15:19). Love In the heart is proof that God dwells therein. 2. Love proves that God's Spirit is Within na {*„ ,1$). The fruit o f the Ejplrlt 1* love (Gal. 5:22), 8. Lore testifies that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour o f the world (v. 14). The indwelling Spirit shows us Christ and makes us believe- in h|m as God’S' Son, the Saviour. 4, Love makes fellowship with God possible (vv. 15,16). Since God is love, he that dwelleth in love dwelleth In God and God In him. ThoSe^wlio deny the deity and savlourhood. of Christ hare no fellowship with God, and those who have fellowship with- God will confess Jesus Christ- as bis dl- .vlne Son. V. Love's Relation' to the Judgment ( tv . 17, 18). It casta out fear. A Judgment day is coming, for God hath appointed' a day in which he shall Judge the world In righteousness by that Man whom he hath ordained (Acts 17:31). It will be a terrible tblng for those unprepared to meet God at that time. But for those who are indwelt by the Living Ged there will be a Joyful meeting. The way to get tjfd of the fear of meeting God in the Judgment is to be iivlng now in fellowship with him. VI. God's Lov* th* Ground of All Lov* (v. 19). The reason we love Is that our lives have come Into touch with the great Fountainhead of love, The incoming o f God’s being and nature becomes the animating and controlling principle of bur lives. VII. Th* Child o f God Potttts** Dual Love (▼. 20). The proof that one loves the unseen God Is that he loves the person who bears the likeness and image of God and has become a member of the came family through the redemption I* Christ Jesns. Love to God and man Is united in the heart o f the Christian, VIII. The Solemn Command Prom «e d (V. 21). God commands that those who love him Should love their brethren. Obedi­ ence to this command will do away with all war and strife. Christmas trees with strings | o f popcorn appeals to the chil­ dren of ten, more than the glass balls and trinkets ccmmonly used. Children enjoy helping pop the corn and stringing it. Cran­ berries at equal distances along the strings o f popcorn are at­ tractive. Apples banging from tire tree shine brightly if they have been washed and polished with a dry doth or a little olive oil. Tiu foil cut Into thin strips j \ hanging from the tree will spar- 5! i ?!

Christmas Pudding Was the Victim o f a Holdup T HERE may he more Christmas pud- dings than there were In the past*, but there are certainly no bigger ones, writes of columnist In the Manchester Guardian, In 1718 James Austen, In­ ventor o f “Pefslan Pink Powder," planned an advertisement by invitiug hid customers to share a gigantic Christmas pudding ’ weighing 1,000 pounds. This, after boiling for 14 days at the Red Lion Inn, Southwark, was -placed In aTHirtTO bTTConveyedTWllre accompaniment of a band playing strange Instruments, to the Swan tav­ ern, FJlsh Street Hill, wheajttW fa­ vored guests were a ssmM H ^ /T h e company, however, walJwHWan, for scarcely had the 'puddi^Kstartei- on Us journey before It was held up by Santa Ciaiu Existed in the Pre-Christian Ere gAN T A CLAUS, as a bearded and benevolent pot-bellied kobold, seems to be much older than St, Nlch- olas, the Christian bishop whose name he has assumed. Among the hun­ dreds of statuettes of pagad divini­ ties dug up In the great Roman temple district recently discovered at Trier are a number that are very good por­ traits of the Chrlstmnstlde friend of children. What the pre-Christian name of this mythical personage may have been nobody knows as yet, but that he Is a real Santa Claus any child could tell you. With his round cheeks, pudgy nose, long, beard and pointed cowl there is hardly any mistaking him. Saaionjkl Intimidation “Sonny," said the dietetic ^mother, “ do you want mamma to teli Santa Clous to stay away from here? Then eat your spinach." “ All right," sighed the modern child, “only It sounds like blackmail to me,” A SPEEDY RECOVERY a mob, attacked with knives and chop­ pers, and distributed to many not hid­ den to the feast.-. Another huge pudding resulted from a sporting offer, of an old-time Isling­ ton innkeeper to make and distribute to the poor of the* neighborhood a Christmas pudding the weight o f any one of his customers. He reckoned without Daniel Lambert, the heaviest man on record, who was Induced by a regular patron to drop In one morning. Daniel turned the scale at 700 pounds, but the Inkeeper kept to his word and produced a pudding of equal weight. Five U. S.

Governor George White, in Columbus, dictating a message o f greeting via teletypewriter to the assemblage in Euclid Avenue Baptist Church in Cleveland. . FREDEWRY Several hundred* persons sat in the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church in Cleveland and watched a message o f greeting being received by the tele­ typewriter from Governor George White in Columbus. The occasion was in honor o f the public school system and general edu­ cational facilities and standards in Lakewood, Ohio, which adjoins Cleve­ land. “ Governor White dictated the 3age to the operator of a teletype writer which had been installed in bis office by The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. A similar machine, install­ ed iu the church, tapped o ff the state executive’s treating. Acknowledge- The governor’s message, in part, was as follows: “ I am happy to congratulate the cities o f Lakewobd and Cleveland and to commend the community spirit of its citizens as exemplified upon this unique occasion.
