It cost Jesus a very great deal to
obey the behests of the love that
stirred in that great soul of His. It
cost Him earthly comfort, the place
and happiness of home that we know
very well He would have enjoyed
greatly. It cost Him the loneliness
of misunderstanding, the bitterness
of disappointment, the suffering of
His friends’ desertion; it cost Him in
the end bitter persecution and be
trayal and death. But that seems
nearly always to be something like
the demand that love makes, even on
us who are so little like what He
vzas. Love with Jesus was very de
manding, and He paid the price
seemingly with joy and a great aban
don. We do net hear that I-Ie ever

It was a very unlovely world that
Jesus came into, when we think
back in to the conditions and happen-
ins of those early years of His earth-
■ijUlife. And no doubt it would have
been easy for Him, if He had been
so inclined, to' have kept Himself
away from much of its suffering
and -want and struggle and sin, and
lived His own quiet live away from
it all, a humble carpenter in His
own little village and among His
own neighbors and friends. And yet
that was the impossible thing for
Him to do not that it would not
have been agreeable to Him, in many
ways, to have done so. But, it was
that great heart of love of His that
made His standing aside impossible
and that sent Him out into the very
thick of that unlovely world of His
time, _with all its hatred of the
things that He believed in, to teaeh
the ways of God to the ichilren of
men. That is surely the one great
text of love, the way it reacts
against unloveliness and is not con
tent until it gives itself to change

THREE TIMES THREE
Yes, three times three to ,Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the mam who
saved the hour for the Empire! Not an unkind word passed those
grim lips, not an unkind thought in that big, deep breast, not a
squint in those steady, forward-looking eyes, not a single thing
done of which his family need not be proud, not a single act in
those portentous ih'ours that he need fear to meet before a just
God. An English gentlemen is he! He did his bit if ever a man
did. Not a single effort to screen the guilty. So here’s to the
man of the hour, a (plain, wise, unselfish man who knows and heeds
the ancient requirements “to love mercy, to act justly, and to walk
humbly with thy God.”
A Christmas Story
Watching for Santa Claus”
By John Moses Baker and Wife, Baltimore, Maryland
It was Christmas Eve, the clock had struck tern,
When under the covers Nelson and Ben
Talked about (Santa Claus, what he would bring
How he’d fill up their stockings with every nice thing.
But Nelson said, “Ben, I’ve been thinking all day
How he’ll get down’ the chimney; I can’t tell the way—
•He’ll have toys to bring and a Christmas tree, too;
I can’t see, for the life of me, what he will do!
“I wish it were larger,” he said, with a sigh;
“Yes, indeed,” answered Benny, “so do I—so do I!”
"ISuppose he gets caught in the chimney—what then?
Oh, that would be awful, now wouldn’t it, Ben?
“But I thought I heard sleigh-bells! Just listen! Don’t
you?”
“I believe, brother Benny, that really I do!”
And with hearts full of gladness and eyes full of glee,
They listen in wonder for, surely, ’tis he!
“Just pull back the blind, Ben, and take a sly peek;
But be very careful—he thinks we’re asleep.”
Now Benny had hardly got out on the floor,
When down through the chimney there came such a roar.
No peeping for Benny, but back into bed—
He covered himself up, eyes, nose, chin and ihead—■
And whispered to Nelson, all trembling with fright,
“I told you I neard him! Now, wasn’t I right.”
“You mast have been, Benny, for oh, such a roar—
I never (heard anything like it before;
Just keep very quiet, and I’m sure we will see
Him step out of the chimney, as sure as can be!”
They watch and they listen, as their vigil they keep,
Till eyelids get heavy and both fall asleep;
And, dreaming, the night passes quickly away,
And when they awaken, ’tis glad Christmas Day.
Then up out of bed with wide open eyes,
They look all around them with joy and surprise;
Their stockings were filled, and there stood a tree
Just loaded with good things, as fine as could be.
They looked at the cihimney, and thought it was small—
But old (Santa Claus found them in spite of it all!
