On this, the second war Christmas
I home circles are broken all over this
* land of ours. War has touched
“ countless families throughout our
nation. We are separated from
those whom we love. We are face
to face with broken homes, changed
lives. Christmas gaiety is far from
the hearts of many of us.
But we can still keep Christmas in
* hearts. Christmas is not merely
of personal rejoicing and good
' j. ;hip, important though that is.
. .'mas is the one holiday that
, it be celebrated alone. Christ-
t;
is not getting, but giving—not
j»i e material gifts but of our-
ci
t t
piciou
nas in
this world, on the battle-
ire the armies of right
attle of Him who taught
love thy neighbor as
ehind the battle lines, ir.
in humble home, in crowd-
id on lonely farm, deep in
'red countries where every
rship is watched with sus-
s, men are keeping Christ-
eir hearts, praying that th?
Prince of Peace may rule on earth.
We, the fortunate ones, in this
land protected by our valiant forces
’rom the onslaught of the aggres-
or, have the opportunity to answer
le challenge and to share our Chris*.
* ias cneer with all. We who have
much to give, must give much to
'.•ring comfort to the desolate and
happiness to the sick at heart. We
may be lonely, we may be sad, we
may be impoverished. But there
fib none of us who cannot give in
I some way. Only in giving can we
I keep the Christmas light burning
1 bright. Only in giving may we fol-
low the Star.
In another war Henry Van Dyke
wrote a Christmas prayer for lonely
folks.,, In his words let us say:
Lord God of the solitary,
Look upon me in my loneliness.
Since I may r.ot keep this Christmas
in the home,
Send it into my heart.
For His sake, give me a cheerful
courage to endure my lot,
And an inward comfort to sweeten it.
Though I am poor, send me to carry
some gift to t^Jiose who are poorer,
1 Some cheer l* those who are more
lone'y.
Teach me that I am, not alone,
But that many hearts all round the
world,
J fin with me through the silence,
while I pray in His Name.
Amen.
OUR WEEKLY SERMON
Wonderful Words Concerning the
Christ of Christmas
By the Rev. John H. Cable, D. l>.,
Member of the Faculty Moody Bible
Institute, Chicago
The vocabulary used to tell of the
Christ who was born in Bethlehem is
a revelation of His marvelous char,
acter. Some of these words wo shall
study briefly.
r fcbfnk of His glory. Says
n, "We beheld his glory.” The
ining, the radiant, the scintillating
the glorious. In an eclipse of the
when the moon has covered the
entire face of the sun, there shines
forth still the radiance of the glory
of that great light in what is known
as the corona. Likewise, though
Christ was in a human body, yet the
glory of His deity shone forth to il-
luminate the regions that had sat in
darkness. That divine luminosity
could not be hidden.
Says John again of Him, “Full of
grace and truth.” Grace to the
Greeks was that which satisfied
pleased. To them the symmetrical
and the beautiful were pleasing. And,
mark you, Christ was "full of" that
which satisfies. We look in vain for
perfection in any other. Even lead,
iiij, Bible characters, other than He,
are marred by some flaw or fault, but
He is “full of grace”. And wonders
of wonders, “of his fullness have we
all received, and grace for grace.”
(John 1.1(5).
And with grace was “truth." For
He was “full of grace and truth.” In
an age when Pilate could well ash,
“What is truth?" He could and did
say, “I am the truth”. Ir. Christ we
have the real, the genuine, the reli-
able.
John calls Him “the Word”. Now a
word is a medium for communicatio l
of thought or feeling. God spoke of
His love for us through Christ. “God
so loved the word that he gave his
. . . Son.” Would we learn the
nature of God, then look at Christ.
For we may see the light of the
knowledge of God in the face of Jesus
Christ His Son.

On Dr. Goebbels’ calendar there’s a circle
’round January 1
x
i
DR. J. N. LIGHTSEY
JANUARY l the Nazis are going to find out
just how we Americans really feel about this
war—whether we’re all of us in it all the way.
For January 1 is the date set by Uncle Sam when
everybody on a payroll ought to be enrolled in the
Payroll Savings Plan—so that at least 10% of the
gross payroll of every firm goes into War Bonds
every payday.
And when we reach that goal by January 1—it’s
going to be painful news for Dr. Goebbels and his
cronies!
At the moment there are many of us who ought to
be on Payroll Savings Plans—and aren’t. And
though some of us are investing more than 10%, a
lot of us are doing less than we can and should.
So it’s up to you to see that we “Top That 10% by
New Year’s." If you're not in on the Payroll Savings
Plan, sign up today. If you’re setting aside less than
10%, get signed up for more—and fast! If you can
afford to invest more than 10% do it—and be glad
you can.
For there’s nothing that can end this war quicker,
nothing that can shatter our enemies as completely
as the knowledge that we Americans are all of us
fighting this war with everything we’ve got! And
doing it our own democratic way—because we know
in our own minds we’ve got to do it to survive.
And in serving our country we serve ourselves—not
only today, but tomorrow as well. For every $3 we
put into War Bonds comes back to us as $4 when
tl^ Bonds mature—to buy the things we want and
cannot get today.
Won’t you put your name on the line today? Sign
up on the Payroll Savings Plan for not 6% or 7% or
8% but at least 10% of your wages every payday.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
If you ore . . .
] # Already investing 10% of your pay in War
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan—
boost that 10% if you can.
2. Working in a plant where the Plan is in-
stalled, but haven’t signed up yet—sign up
tomorrow.
3. Working in a plant where the Payroll Savings
plan hasn't been installed, talk to your union
head, foreman, or plant manager—and see if
it can't be installed right away. The local
bank will be glad to help.
4. Unable to get in on the Payroll Savings Plan
for any reason, go to your local bank, or
wherever Bonds are sold. They will be glad
to help you start a Plan of your own.
