Christian Fellowship Lesson for December 7, 1947 SUNDAY’S lesson is based on the short third Epistle of John. You can read it in two minutes, but you will not exhaust its meaning in a

lifetime. Link with 111 John the devotional reading found in First Corinthians 1:10-17, and you have a great and glorious picture of Christian fellowship. Note these words: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by l the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak

the same things, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same jud ment,” I Corinthians 1:10. And these words from 111 John, second verse: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospered. ” Here we have the basis for Christian fellowship. • • • Let Us Love One Another AITHAT is the first test of Chris- ’ ’ tian fellowship? Read I John 4:7. Lave one for another is the first and last test of Christian fellowship. Os course, love one for another is dependent upon love toward God. We do not really love one another until we first love God. And we do not love God until we realize that he first loves us. Why do we keep certain letters? Because they are from those who love us, and whom we love. Boys and girls can help to make this a better world if they will express their love one for another in letters. • * • Gracious Words TN ECCLESIASTES 10:12, we read: * "The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious.” Christmas will soon be here. There Will be many Christmas cards and Christmas letters. Let us think <arefully of some lonely boy or girl in our community who may not receive such a message unless you •end it. More than that, think of the lonely boy or girl in the hospital, in the orphan home, in the underprivileged tenement. Think what a letter from you to such a lonely neighbor would mean! * • • Doing Good /CHRISTIAN fellowship, in the last analysis, is doing good. "He that doeth good is of God,” says John, and we know that it is true. Intermediate boys and girls can seize upon numerous methods of proving their Christian attitude as we come on toward the Christmas season. Discuss with your teacher next Sunday the idea of providing Christmas gifts for underprivileged boys and girls of your age. If not in your community, somewhere. While in Europe last summer, I was impressed with the fact that there will be very little Christmas for the young people in many of those lands this year. War has left its frightening desolation. The people are without money and without homes and without clothing and without food. May I suggest that you discuss plans by which you may send packages through CARE to some lonely, needy neighbor in Europe this Christmas, thus proving your sense of Christian fellowship. • • • Furthering the Gospel AS WE grasp more fully the meaning of this lesson next Sunday, our hearts will gladly respond to the opportunities for furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as Gaius and Demetrius impressed John. In every community are crying needs for Christian ministry. Yeur newspapers will be telling of special opportunities for Christmas help. Your Community Fund chairman can give you names of worthy neighbors who need help. "I thank God for your fellowship in furtherance of the Gospel from the first day until now,” wrote Paul to the Philippian Christians. How did they show this fellowship? In many, many practical ways, some of which Paul names. They sent food, books, clothing. More than that, they gave themselves in personal visitation to lonely friends. They cheered the faint. How happy we shall be if after the study of this lesson we go out to do with all our might what our hands find to do. • • » fCopyrifbt by the International Council of Religious Education oa beim'f of SO Protestant denominations.
