BIBLE CLASSES WILL STUDY THE BIRTH OF CHRIST The International Uniform Srmdny School f/psson for Dec. X9t The Savior’s Birth.—l>nke 217-20. By William K. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Cone regal inn, -illat In a great, hymn Isaac. Watte has expressed the glory oX th® Savior’s coming: Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare him room. And* heaven and nature sing. Tt. was not, however, as a king, recognized for hts greatness anu splendor, that the Savior of Mankind catne to the world. Tt was a* a little babe, horn in a manger of a mother who In her hour of trial and triumph had not found on her pilgrimage even a home or a decent inn in which to stay. Another poet has beautifully caught the note of glory in the lowly birth: There's a lowly birth and the angels sing And the shepherds hear the strain, For it tells of Christ who was born a King ’ ' In his righteousness to reign. The story of Mary and the Babe of Bethlehem has taken hold of the world's imagination, even a the Gospel, of the babe to manhood grown, has laid hold of the world'* heart and conscience. Rich In Symbolism The story is richly manifold tn Its smggestlveness and symbolism. Not to the learned and the great was the coming of the Savior primarily made known, but to shepherds abiding In the field keeping watch over their flock by night. How often the vision of God’s plans and purpose* is withheld from the great and revealed tod lowly souls of pur® heart and uncorrupted vision! One does not know much concerning the character of these shepherds, hut they must have been sincere and spiritually expectant men, for In the announcement of the birth of Jesus emphasis Is laid upon the meaning of his coming. Only devout souls earnestly yearning for salvation could be concerned with the coming of a Savior, and only those hearts who were at peace with their l’ellowmen and who had a vision of the establishing of good will upon earth could appreciate the meaning of the angels’ carol, “Glory to God In the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.’’ God's highest revelations are reserved for the pure in heart; it is they who see God. Tlie Shepherds’ Decision Tlie character of the shepherds was revealed In the immediacy of their decision to go to Bethlehem, and further in the fact that they were not disappointed and disillusioned by what they found there. It must have required heart* of faith, mindful of God’s mysterious ways in Providence, to have seen In the babe in swaddling clothes with a lowly mother and in such repelling surroundings tlie Savior of the world. But apparently their faith to believe was clear and strong, for “the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for aJI that they had heard and seen.” What mother is there who cannot appreciate the beauty of the word In our lesson concerning the mother of Jesus, “but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart”. The depths of mother love, and wonderment, and aspiration wetfe never more beautifully compressed In so few words. We read, of course, in the narratitve of the birth of Jesu* all the meaning and glory of hi* triumphant life and death- That le Inevitable. But how reverent should we be toward the birth of every little child! Who lenowa what prophets, priests and klnga ws may be welcoming in new-born babes? The rude cradle in a western cabin may lull a future Lincoln to sleep, just as the manger in Bethlehem cradled the King of Kings. W r hat reverence and wonderment ought all of life to contain for us when we remember these things! Copvriunt. 19SS. NEA Service
