THE J - Sv'lnternational Unitor* < v . | Sunday School Lessons Faith To Share Lesson for December 15,1963 . Bible Material: Acta 15:1*35; Galatian*l 1 through 2. Devotional Reading: Romans 1:8-17. j ALL RELIGIONS are shared re- * ligions. That is, if in any re- J ligious group, large or small, the' notion got around that the best) thing you can do with your faith is to keep it a kind of happy secret | between yourself and God, then

that religion, would vanish, from among mankind in less than a hundred years. Religions persist from generation to generation be-{ cause those who, are share their faith with other people. '

Dr. Foreman

But religions differ in their an-' swer to this question: With whom i do you share your faith, or with 1 whom are you expected to share I it? Some share their faith with 1 their children only. You cannot,' for instance, become a convert to ; the religion of the Parsees, not' even by marrying one. Only the children of Parsees can become ; Parsees. Other religions share their faith within definite geographical bounds, or racial limits. The Christian religion is one of the very few which its possessors are expected to share with all men high and low, all men of all colors and races and conditions in life, all human beings all over this globe. Yon can't oall this sharing If you are a Christian, then, you have a faith to share ... that is, if you have the faith. You can’t share the money your grandfather had and spent. You can’t share enthusiasm you haven’t got, you can’t share your grandmother’s faith, hope or love. YOU can share what YOU have, not what somebody else has. You can pass on ideas without believing them yourself, though they won’t be very convincing; but you can’t pass on faith you don’t have yourself. But there are two ways in which people, who do have some genuine personal religious faith, try to share it, without success. One wrong way is to try to force it on other people. In the Middle Ages the church used to conduct some strange evangelistic campaigns. They would get the police to round up a dozen or so Jews, the Jews would be tied together and taken to church and made to” listen to “Christian” preaching for a number of Sundays, and then they would take those Jews out” and dunk them in the fountain in the public square, byway of Christian baptism. Then they would chalk it up in their statistics—so many Jews converted this year. No, there were no converts by that route. Forcing religion is like forcing food; it’s not sharing. Sharing by talking For all that, talking about our faith is one way to share it. Take the Apostle Paul for example. He preached, he taught, he visited from house to house, He wrote letters, more than a dozen of which have been preserved in the New Testament. He was one of the greatest talkers-for-Christ known to history. There is a difference between talking about our faith in such a bragging way as the Pharisees had, and talking about it in humble but radiant enthusiasm as Paul always did. A Pharisee might thank God he was not as other men; a converted Pharisee, such' as Paul could say to a king: “I wish you were in my place—only without these chains.” Sharing by living It’s very doubtful whether any one ever became a sure-enough Christian without living for a while with a real Christian. Most of us are not converted by something we read, first of all, it’s rather by what we have seen and heard. Christianity is a life, not a theory. Everything that is Christian, which is to say every Chris-... tian truth and grace, is in a person' before it is in a book. Jesus Christ came before any books were written about him. Christianity is not something you can cut into slices and pass around like cake. Christianity is like enthusiasm which just has to be caught rather than taught. There is no such thing as Christianity that’s not in people. And an unsharing, ingrowing, selfish life can never share a warm and joyful faith. It comes back to where we started; You. can share only what you have.

r CAN WE BE HAPPY THIS CHRISTMAS Rev. James R. Meadows Yes, despite the conditions around us, happier than ever before, if we seek happiness at the right source. We must be happy to have Christmas at all. Happiness is the very essence of Christmas. It is not a day in the calendar, but a spirit, a state of i mind and heart. That first Christmas was a i joyous one, in the midst of most simple, humble surroundings, i Mary was happy, though she 1 must wrap her babe in swaddling , bands with her own hands, and lay Him in a crude trough in a j stable which was nothing more, i a hole in the side of a hill i the shepherds were happy, though ! they slept on the cold ground beneath the stars; all nature was happy, and hung a star above the lowly town of Bethlehem, to shine in unaccustomed glory; the angels of God were exceedingly happy, and left heaven to sing their triumphal i song of praise. We shall find our happiness 1 this year, in life itself, not in the i things of life; in what we are ; and not in what we have. Your happiness is your Father’s will. Your joy, not your gloomis His ; glory. “The fire’s value is in the things it cannot consume.” Much ■ is passing, but nothing that is worth while will be lost. You have honor, self-respect, faith, , hope, love, friends, dear ones, and heaven itself, left, i * MONROE METHODIST CHURCH Charles E.
