kHE "3 MmSMnwMBaSMwwJHIK WiS-a. Gifts to Christ v Lesson for December, 28, 1952 ' . J \I7HAT the world I bring* to ’ ’ Christ ip never to be compared with what Christ brings the world. Not all the Christmas gifts that ever were, including those given to the cause and in the. name of Jesus, equal a small part of the value of Jesus himself to the world. Nevertheless, ever since the time <rf the wise men from the east, gifts have been brought and laid at the feet of Christ, in one way oj • another. o • e Wisdom Many treasures of wisdom, through these 10 centuries, have been poured out for the Master’s service. Not that men can make

God wise; but the wisdom and learning of mankind can be, and 'have been, put at I the disposal of Christ and his cause. To take one fact alone: the translation of the Bible into hundreds of languages through-

out the world. The work at translating can never stop, because languages keep changing: the English and the French of this century afe not the same as they were centuries ago, and Bibles translated for those times become hard to understand in our diy. Not that a new English translation is needed every few years: but somewhere, all the time, into some \ language or other, this work is be ing cafried on. It is no simple job; J a translator must not only know Greek and Hebrew, but also, and very thoroughly, the language into which he translates. Most good translations are made by for many heads are better than one. at this work. | . When we add to the work of ths trartjdators all that other aoholari haVe’ ddfle. all the brain worfc that has gone into the printing and binding of the books and distributing them in many ways; we can see what the devotion of intellectual , talents has meant, through the centuries. to the Christian religion. •• Wealth Think what a difference it would make, if suddenly ev&ry Christian in tite world decided that the Lord's work could get along just as without being offered another cent. No new churches would be built; existing churches Would fall into decay because no one would pay for their repair (and tree labor wouldn’t do it, because that too is a form of wealth). Home ■ and foreign missions would come to an end. Christian schools, hospitals and colleges would close down. No Christian books of any kind could be printed. Radio religious broadcasts would cease, because there would not be any, one to pay for them, and even the "free” time, which always costs the statiorl something, could no longer be offered. ■ • • . From Each His Own Christianity is today an international religion, though it started! off as the religion of a few, Asiatic Jews. But Jesus was scarcely out of his cradle before those men of the East came, and they were the first of a long line from every nation and rape in the world. In America we think of Christianity as almost an- American religion; bCt it is not Americans have brought much to Christianity, —their energy, daring, pioneering spirit their practical slant on everything,—these have given to Christianity iji North America a "color” and a "style” all its own* Blit we are. not the only Christians, perhaps hot even the beat ones. There ape Indian Christians, and Chinese Christians; there are Christians among the Eskimos and Zulus. Ttfere is some Christianity behind the Iron Curtainj it is found In Scotland, Sweden, Spain, El Salvador. .j i And while we are all brothers under 'the akin, the fact remains that it takes all kinds of Christians to make the Christian world, and to oiake the world Christian. Our mjsaieiiapes dpt not go out to make Afnerican Christians; they go tc x make And every one who comes to Christ brings something which is specially his own. As Rev/John Monsell's hymn has it: to-, enter His courts in the slenderness Os the poor wealth thou wouldst as thine: Ti-uth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, These are the offerings to lay on His shrines.” \ ' ' n -i !■ a■!
