Lesson for December- 22 i Lesson subSects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used b" permission. A MESSAGE OF LOVE j I, . (CHRISTMAS LESSON) ! LESSON TEXT John 3:16; Ephesians j:14-21. MEMORY SELECTION Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. II Corinthians 9:15. .-When Jesus was born in Bethlehem there were only a few men and Women of faith who could see in the Babe of the manger the glory and the power of Christ. It was a dark and unbelieving age into which he was born and who will say that it is different in the day in which we celebrate Christmas, 1946. Indifferent, ignorant and sinful people are glad to try to capitalize on the spirit of Christmas, but they still despise and turn away from the Son of God, Jesus the Saviour. " It behooves us, therefore, to present once more the message of the Saviour who came at Christmas, that all men may hear of him. ' Our lesson speaks of God's great gift of love and tells what manner of men and women we should be because he did give his Son for us. "I. God's Christmas Gift to Us (John 3:10). God loved so God gave. Love prompts the heart ta give. One may give without loving, it is true, but one cannot love without giving, -Gcd's love for man existed from all eternity. It provided a way of redemption for man and in due season the Saviour came, to live, to love, to die for all mankind. , It was no chance event, no accident in history, it was the heart of God speal.ing in his "unspeakable gift" (II Cor. 9:15) of his only begotten Son. : .- . That leads us to our second Scrip- ' ture and our second point. We who receive gifts try to express our appreciation in a polite and proper way. K II. Our "Thank You" to God (Eph. 3:14-21). Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church (and for us also who are in the "family," v. 15) tells us how we may by our lives as Christians express our gratitude to God. " The church of Christ, made vy

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Ciiui-ches of Christ. Scientist, on Sunday, December 22. The Golden Text is: "Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth &!so, with all that therein is" (Deuteronomy 10:14). - Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the. border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole" (Mark 6:54-56). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "To admit that sickness is a condition over which God has no control, is to presuppose that omnipotent power is powerless on some occasions" (p. 182). "The real jurisdiction of the world is in Mind, controlling every effect and recognizing all causation as vested in divine Mind" (p. 379).

Jesus was born at. Bethlehem in one of the Hark'est perioas of the vbrid's" hidory!: iTibsrius Was emperor at Rome, and subject, peoples suilorsd the tyrannies and oppressions of the "master race" of that day. $ ; ' Tho moral, spiritual and intellectual lights of the world burned low, and almost flickered . out. Literature and the arts belonged to 'a iavored few. Human virtues were smothered by a spreading cynicism. In this unfavorable environment, faith and hope struggled feebly to survive. ; But a clear light pierced this deep darkness from a little khan in Bethlehem." There Joseph and Mary gazed into the placid eyes of Hirn who was later to be called."the Light of the .World."' The birth of Jesus marked a turning point in Human History. Men: began to s&ise the power of the unseen factors in human life, and there was a' rebirth of faith and hope and love. The Star which led the Wise Men to Bethlehem was the symbol of a new day for mankind. ' ' ' ' ': The Light of Bethlehem has grown brighter as generations Have come and gone, ft is the true guide of mankind in every 'age of darkness and uncertainty. It shines .in the Church and lights the pathway of those who trust in God. ,
