Thou hast shown the heavens to

“Beloved Father, While all
Christendom kneels- around the
manger of Bethlehem, send us a
new spirit, teach us new ways,
give us the Christmas mind.
Turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children and the hearts of the
children to their fathers ; give joy
to the hopeless, bring into the

with simple • faith,
tions of Christ’s presence here on
earth. Let us consider what the
coming of the Prince of Peace
meant to the world. In the first
place, be came as a deliverer, to
satisfy the claims of the law.
“As in Adam, all fell', so in
Christ, all shall be made alive.”
Christ came to make atonement
once for all for the sins of the
world. He came to win sinners
back to God.
Again, he came to be our ex-
ample and what a beautiful one
he set for young manhood arid
young womanhood, for children
and old age, for any situation in
life.
/Christ came into the world to
destroy the works of Satan. On
srvtery hand was sorrow and dis-
couragement and death itself, all
the works of Satan. What it
meant to the world for Christ to
come into it.
The light has truly dawned
upon us more than any other peo-
ple and never before have there
b^en so many possibilities fcr
with ; Christian service. It is trie be-
in spired writer in the verses
which precede my text. In this
narrative, we have a glimpse of
the Savior of the world, whose
biography is briefly written, in
one sentence, “Who went about
doing good.’ This was the rea-
son of his visit to the world. He
came not as an idle spectator nor
as professional politician, but to
administer to the necessities of
man. He therefore did good un-
to men’s bodies and souls. We
find him casting out devils from
one who had lived in the tombs,
cutting and mangling his body
upon the rocks, causing him to
sit at his feet ‘clothed in his right
mind.’ His object also was to
deliver men. from the bondage of
sin and the fear of death, we
therefore find him engaged in
tory start from this visit.
“We also note that this visit
was personal as to manner and
punctual as to period. ‘And the
angel answered and said unto
her, the Holy Ghost shall come
upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee,
therefore also that holy thing
which shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God’, and
‘In the fullness of time, God sent
forth His Son.’
‘Second, let us now note the'
purposes of this visit. Christ had
a purpose in coming into the
world. It was in the first place
to display the divine glory of
God. • Everything which God
does must refer to Himself. ‘The
heavens declare the glory of God.’
But Christ’s visit was to display

he was a traveling preacher not
sitting down waiting for the
church to call him, but up and
down the world He went, reliev-
ing humanity of its woes and
sufferings.
“On one of these journeys, He

His wisdom, love, power an'
mercy. God’s wisdom was man

scheme- of salvation was inaugur

where at the gate of the city,
they met a funeral procession, a
widow following her only son to
the grave. The loving heart of
Christ went out in, sympathy to
the bereaved1 mother, and He
gave her son back to her. This
incident caused much astonish-
ment among the people, and
they exclaimed ‘God,hath visited
hensive system of truth. T will
lead you into all truth,’ ‘I am the
way and the truth.’; . Again, He*
came to give us a perfect model
of virtue,” purity and holiness.
The Old Testament saints were
examples of one or more charac-
teristics': Moses for meekness,
Joseph for chastity, Daniel for
courage, but it was reserved for
