GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, X«m with H im , an4 will lo w ttM* to «U pUcei whither thou (oe«t.-rG*seii« S»;1B. Matthew is the Gospel of the King end His kingdom. I t stresses the fulfillment of prophecy in the com­ ing of Christ, the King. After His 'rejection,, it tells us of the Church, '•the kingdom in mystery,” end of the death of Christ for our sins, His resurrection for our justification, phd His glorious coming ‘again, This then is, an important book which we study for the next three ■ months. Teacher and student alike should be enthusiastic and expect­ ant, The genealogy of the King, and the story of His coming to. earth as the babe of Bethlehem (both impor­ tant matters), are covered hi chap­ ter 1. • In our lesson we find Him as a little child. Observe how man received Him, and how God cared for Him. Without assigning definite verses.to our points we note that: . I. Men Received or Rejected Jesus, 1 It has alwaysYeen so. Men, then as now, were either for Him or ' against Him. The world or today ,is {far different from that of the first , {century, but the difference is all on •the outside. ^Almost breath-taking . ,have been the developments of mod­ ern science, but these have not .changed the heart of man. He still fears and hates:and fights and sins. His attitude toward Christ is un­ changed, There are still only two . classes of people In the World—those ’who have received Christ and are leaved, and those who have rejected 'Him and are lost. . 1. Men Are Against Christ. | How do men show their rejection of God's Son? Just as they did at His birth, by: a. Fear! Herod was afraid lest the coming of this One should result in the loss of his ill-gotten. gains. His anger and fear made all Jeru­ salem afraid., b. Indifference. When the Wise iMen asked.where Christ was to be :bom, the priests and scribes knew exactly where to find the facts in the Holy Scriptures, but having done so, they relapsed into utter indifference. , They had no Interest in the fulfill­ ment o f'the prophecy. 0. Hatred. Herod poured out the violence of h lsjiea rt by killing the first-born. He was the first of many who have raged against the Christ I n futile anger. d. Sorrow. -The tears of the moth- ■ erS of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the weeping -and wailing which char- ' aOterizes Christ-rejection both In ' time end eternity. ,2. Men Are For Christ. > Thanks be to God, there were those In that day who were for Christ and, like those who follow , Him today, they showed: a. Spirituality. Men: have mar­ veled that the Magi -knew of the birth of Christ. They must- have studied the prophecies of the Word and been responsive to the teach­ ing and moving of the Holy Spirit. Can we say as much for ourselves? b. Interest.' Not content to know and to marvel, they • shamed .the priests of Israel by their persistent interest in this great thing which had come to pass, c. Love. They brought themselves in Worship and they brought rich gifts from their treasures. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving, d. Action. They came. They per­ sisted until they found the.'Christ. Than they listened to God and. pro­ tected His Son by not returning to Herod. . n . God Protected and Prepared Jesus, . •The ruin which sin had brought into the world could only be met by redemption which Christ had come to bring. Some men had already shown their hatred for Jesus and ■ their rejection of Him. But God still ruled, and for the sake of those who received Him (and would receive Him in all the centuries since). He kept the Child Jesus from harm. We find Him: 1. Protecting Jesus. Men may hate and seek to destroy God's Son. Satan may inspire them with ingen- <- uity and cunning, But see how the Eternal One spokp to Joseph in dreams, how He prepared a place of refuge in Egypt and ultimately in Nazareth, where the boy Jesus might increase in wisdom and stat­ ure and favor with God and man." 2. Preparing Jesus, God knew of the days of public m.nistry which were ahead, and above all, of that day when oil Golgotha’s hill Christ was, in His own body, to prepare salvation for you and fdr me. God la never taken by surprise. He moves forward to the completion of His plan with the stately tread of eternity. He took Jesus to Egypt. He brought Him again to Nazareth. In i t all He was preparing His Son MET MY nU9l BBT IT ■•We- A S W E M OVE closer to victory, it wouldn't be surprising if you j r \ were saying to yourself—-“What's the big idea of asking for all this additional money now? Isn't the war almost over?'* N o sir, it. is not! Not by a long shot. O f course, for many months now you’ve heard mostly about the war with Germany, where.our greatest effort is concentrated. That’s why many people have the idea that the war’s practically over. But make no mistake'about it—nothing cotild be farther froth the truth! The Japanese war is a tremendous undertaking, and victory w ill /come high. W e’ll have to fight every inch of the way, ■' f «*• Everything Costs More— in the PacificWar The “European, war is expensive, but almost everything in the Pacific- war w ill cost more. Take transport costs, for instance: Because o f the ' longer distances, the same amount of freight costs 25 per cent mote when shipped to the South Pacific than to Europe. And it takes twice as niShy cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of a given size because turn-around time is twice as great! < More Planes... Tanks.. . Ships. .. Oil In addition, we shall need more, of everything. More B-29 Superfor­ tresses that cost $600,000 each. More ‘P -47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each. More M -4 Tanks, with bulldozer blades, thafeost $67,417 each. More amphibious tanks—-more aircraft carriers—more supply ships - 7 -more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion of Europe! L Care for the Sick andWounded And lest anyone foiget, we shall need more battalion aid stations—-more clearing stations—more evacuation hospitals—more convalescent hos- pitals—more hospital ships. For many, many years the sick, wounded, and otherwise disabled vet­ erans w ill require medical attention and care. That's the least Uncle Sam can do in appreciation of what they’ve done for us. Maintenance for Millions D id you ever stop to think how much money it costs to maintain the II to 12 million men and women in our army and navy? Whether the men are actually fighting or not, -they must be fed, housed, transported ffom ofi£ frfitfring eenter or battle area fo another, cared for in a hundred and bne different ways. That all costs money and w ill continue to until the last man demobilized is back: in civilian clothes. In addition. millrons o f dollars w ill be requ ired for mustering out pay, for various benefits and Services vo ted by Congress to help the boys get started in civilian life. These are reasons enough why patriotic Americans w ill want to buy heavily during the Sixth War Loan. But here are still more— * Wiiining fhe Pence— for Your Country If we're to win the. peace as well as the war, the cost o f living must be kept down and the purchasing power of money preserved. A reckless inflation ihat would necessarily be followed by the catastrophe of deflation—with ’ts unemployment, bankruptcies, misery and heartache —must be prevented at all cost. Let s make no mistake—a dangerous period lies ahead. The American people have nothing to fear, however, if they show in the future the same common iCrise they have shown in the past, and continue to put "every penny over rpek-bottom expenses, into the purchase of more and mdic.ffiar Bonds. Winning tiiB P bbce •—forYourself Want another important reason? Yourself! There isn't a better or safer investment in the world today than War Bonds. In-helping your country, you are also helping yourself1 Never in our entire history has it been so necessary to save as right now. W e’l l need money, individually, for education, repairs, replacements, retirement—and w e'll r t e eda l o t o f i t . A s you can see there are many reasons, ,important jfeaihns, why ow Government must have theiinan- cial -support o f evetyoite, arid HaVe it for many months; to come.

Long in September and October we were hearing a lot about the Comnian- der-in-Chief and how he helped plan all .military strategy, but during the past three o$• four weeks, when things have not been going so well on the battle lines, the Corrtlnandcr-in-Chief seems to have dropped from the news.

A White House, correspondent just pointed o1 that in 1044 president Roosevelt wa away'from the White House twenty- four out of the fifty-two weeks of the year, A portion of that time was, of course, spent in attending conferences in Canada and in the Pacific area—but the whereabouts of the President the rest of the time still remain a secret.
