Striking A New Note For World’s Better^On-Going ( hnstmas Brings A Radical Suggestion For Ihe Real Revolution-— What The Bible Teaches About Love—Practical Words On An Idealistic Subject.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Os all the wonders and forces of this human life of ours, the greatest is the pure love of a man and a woman for each other. It is a mystery which gives it birth, the love of God for mortals. We call it romance, this instant flame or slow grow th, of one person s love for another—love so great that ft coni sumes selfishness, takes precedI ence of all sordid aims and bei comes the supreme Interest of a personality. "Many waters cannot I drown love"; for a man wil dare and do and endure all things for the woman he loves; and a woman |be transformed from a frivolous, j ego-centered girl into the incarnation of sacrifice and wisdom for j the sake of the man she loves. This is the supreme mystery and i glory of life; something divine implanted in these human breasts of . ours. As our author says, in today's Lesson. "We love"—not. as the old version has it. "We love Him.” but “We love” —"because God first loved us." All of love's true torches are lighted at the Di- , vine fire. So all over the world, in all classes of society, throughout all the ages, mankind has demonstrated this marvel of marvels, this supreme passion of pure and selfless love. This is a wonder-filled influence that has done more to shape soci- ! ety, and to lift the race to ever higher levels, than all the wisdom of statesmen, than all the laws en- ■ acted, than all the armies of na- ! tions, than all the inventions of j clever rains. In the profoundest sense it is true that “It is love that makes the world go round." Whosoever has achieved this reality of love has succeeded in life, though Ibis daily bread be but a crust, and his material lot the lowliest. Here we have the first and greatest wonder of the world.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12,1936.

i with armaments piled higher than I the Christmas trees, wo pause to consider the them of love. Incongruous and sentimental? Not at all Nothing else is so practical, as proved by the daily lives of millions. We have tried, to the point of futility, all the presumably "practical" plans of the statesmen and economists; and they have • brought us to the verge of the • breakdown of civilization. Now, in ■ all honesty, we confront the real- ■ ity that, on the low plane of self- . preservation, the world’s next ad- : venture must be into love. And the truth comes to us at ■ Christmas tide, the season for the i flowering and fruitage of the love , tree. Space forbids the releasing of . imagination into the realm of what ■ varied and beautiful expressions : love manifests at this anniversary I of the birth of the One who came . to incarnate the love of God. "God f so loved that He gave” — the . Christmas Babe. If Christmas does ( not mean an expression of the Di- , vine Love, and of our lesser hum- . an loves, it means nothing whatso- , ever. And that love is designed to be away of life, taking precedence , of the old, unhappy motives of greed and pride and fear and jeal- ’ ousy and selfishness. As Emerson . said. "Let our affection flow out to our fellows, it would operate in a day the greatest of all revolutions.” I I Once let the world eaten the real meaning of love, and peace will come between the nations; and 1 strife will cease between class and class: and the welfare of all will ’ be the goal of everybody. Our boys ' used to sing a Christmas ditty: "Oh! Don't you think that giving, ’ Is just the best of living, 1 When everybody thinks of all the rest?” Two Panegyrics Os course literature's greatest panegyric on love is the thirteenth i chapter of Paul's first letter to the . Corinthians. Supplementing and [ complementing it, is the passage from the Apostle John's first lett- > er. There is no record that either of these two greatest expositors of love ever themselves knew the bliss of married life. Paul's love > was poured out upon his fellowworkers. John, in addition to his

fellowship with the churches, had the special care of Mary, the mother of Jesus, committed to his keeping by the Saviour on the cross. It would seem as if these two great lovers were called to share with a multitude the profound affection which usually one man gives to one woman. Many a husband and wife, before kneeling by their bedside, have read together the sublime words of John the aged which are the present Lesson. Let me quote them, from the Weymouth Version:— "Dear friend, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and everyone who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God. He who is destitute of love has never had j any knowledge of God; because God is love. God’s love for us has . been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him. This is love indeed —we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another .... God is . love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him. Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our having complete confidence on the day of the Judgment; because just what He is, we also are in the world. Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, there is something imperfect in his love. We love because God first loved us. If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. —Luke 2:11. « • • I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old. familiar carols play. And wild and sweet The words repeat Os peace on earth, good will to men. —Longfellow.

Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.—lsa. 9:6. * * * For hearts, if true and lowly, The manger-cradles are', Where comes the Christ-guest holy, With love, the guiding Star. —Anon. * * • Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward tnen.—Luke 2:14. * * * It isn't far to Bethlehem town! It's anywhere that Christ comes down And finds in people’s friendly face A welcome and abiding place; Tne road to Bethlehem runs right through The homes of folks like me and you. Madeline S. Miller. * * * I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come around, apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin—if anything belonging to it can be apart from that —as a good time, a kind, forgiving, charitable, iplcas* ant time. —Charles Dickens. ———» —-.
