SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 51 THE BIRTH OF JESUS Luke 2:1-20 PRINTED TEXT Luke 2:8.20 GOLDEN TEXT -Thou shall call Uiis name Jesus; for •it is he that shall save his people from their sine. Matthew 1:21. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIme: Our Lord was born prob- ably'4 or 5 B.C. Plate.—Joseph and Mary lived b Galilee, but the birth of Jesus occurred in Bethlehem, six miles south of Jerusalem. THE MESSAGE 8:. "And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the Herds, and keeping watcli by night over their flock. 9. A'nd`an angel of the -lard stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about. them: and they - weresore afraid."' Why should the shep- herds be told of the event trans- piring in Bethlehem? No such an- nouncement was. made in Caesar's palace or to any others in high authority. The shepherds would be glad to hear the message and would act upon it—in other words, their, heartswere ready to believe what God said. Be Not Afraid 10. "And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold,. I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: 11. For there is born to you this day in the city of David Ank a Saviour, who Is Christ the Lord.. 12. And this is the sign unto you: Ye Shall find a babe wrappel in swaddling clothes, and lying iii a manger." Three titles are given to Jesus by the angel—a Saviour, Cha'ist, the Lord—the first referring to the work of Christ, the second referring to His work as the Mes- siah anointing Him to be Prophet, Priest and King, and the third re- ferring to His 'glory.. Gloria In Exceisis 13. "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying: 14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earthpeace among men In whom he is well pleased." Salvation must come from God, and not from man. Salvation must come out of the heavens to' the earth it cannot arise out of the earth andclimb to the heavens. Glory to God Is a uecessity as it is a fact. Shepherds Answer Message 15. "And it came to pass, when the :angels went. away from. them Into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and seethis thing that is come to • .pass, which the Lord 'hath made known unto us. 16. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger." A' revelation from God is not only to be believed, but to be act- ed upon. When, in an hoer of spiritual expltation, we hear God telling us to do something, when we see a vision of something which we know we ought to do, and when the vision is gone, we do not obey . it, then the joy which we had in the vision experience will wilt, and that which was meant to be a blessing to us will only be- . come something about which we boast and beyond which we never advance. The shepherds did ex- actly what they should have done. They went down to Bethlehem to ."see this Babe. Wonderful as it was to -have heard the angel and the angels, it is far more wonder- ful, a far greater privilege, h18in- itely more important, to behold the Lord Jesus, What they did, they did instantly. Bearing Witness 17. "And when they saw it, they Tirade known concerning ,the say- ing Which was spoken to them about this child. 1.8. And all that heard it wondered at the .things Which were . spoken unto them by the shepherds." Bearing witness to what we have seen and heard and experienced in relation to the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour Is a natural part of every normal believer's life; a 'privilege as well. as a duty, not only something we should do, but something we feel compelled to do. Mary Kept Silent 18. "But Mary kept all these say- ings, • pondering then in her heart." The word here trans- lated "pondered" means casting to- gether, by svliich we would under- stand that Mary compared and • considered all these amazing evente, testimonies, and acts od worship, overwhelmed as she must have been In the midst of these supernatural manifestations, for she surely knew that her Babe was the Lord of Glory. It was just as natural for Mary, the mother, to keep these things in her heart, as It was dor the ehpeherds to pro- claim what they had seen and' heard. She had a different rela- tionship at this time to Jesus than they'had. He was her Son, and a wise mother does not proclaim to the world, when her 'son is 'stili a • • babe, any tokens of or humanly expressed prediction's of the ulti- mate 'greatness of her babe. The Shepherds' Return 20.."Awl the shepherds returned, glorifying and, praising God far all the things that they had heard and. seen, even as it was spoken to thein:" Great joy we have in under- etauding what the Word of God means, believing it with all our hearts, but an even greater joy is experienced, and a deepening of our faith, when the Word of God becomes a living reality, its prom- ises a daily experience in our own Bee. The shephende might not have been believed if they had simply told of what they heard from the angel, but they were bound to be believed when they toll not only what they heard from one who came from Heaven, but what they had seen le the manger in Bethlehem. All do not have revelations through an angel, in fact, very few, but all may have a definite, transforming, redeem- ing experience with the Lord Jesus Christ. Hong Kong. Captives Get Relief Supplies The Red Cease and St. John Ambulance Associaion announced last week it had been advised by Genera that relief supplies for prisoners of .wen in `Hong Kong had ' been delivered et the Fort Stanley /Camp, and partly 'distri- buted. Zindel, International Red Cross delegate at Hong Kong, said the goods were received: with great enthusiasm. T•he consignment in- cluded 1,000 tons of food, clothing and drugs from Britain. and the Dominions. After' Hong Kong fell the laps reported taking 1,689 Canadian prisoners of the 1,985 Canadian officers and men sent to the 'Far Bast. In Canadian Defence Depart- ment recent.easua}ty lists, 1,594 Canadians had been officially listed' prisoners at war at Hong Kong. Send Special Gifts To War Prisoners Christmas Parcels Supple- mentary to Regular Parcels Arraugeznents are being made by' the Canadian Red Cross Society and the.l3ritlsh Rel Cross to send a special Christina's parcel "from the people of Canada" to .each Canadian prisoner of war in enemy bands. 1" -u parcels are supplementary lo the parcels'; sent regder:1Y 1»' ne1t'of-tiro and the Canadian Red Cross Society. Chief article in each parcel for poisoners of war in Europe will be a sweater of an appropriate color for each of the services, the announcement said -- khaki for army, light blue for air force, dark blue for navy, and blue -black or black for merchant seamen. The parcels, which are being packed in true United Kingdom, will also contain cigarettes, chocolate, soap and other small comforts and extras. • Far East Prisoners The parcels for distribution to prisoners of war in the Far East will bo purchased In japan by the delegate of the International Red Cross acid will be made up there. It is not known exactly what they will contain, the department said; but the ()median. eubhorities have saggestod to the International Red Cross Committee that they should be made up as far as pos- sible of foodstuffs, especially can- ned goods, and warm clothing. Gifts From Germany The International Red Cross is also acting as an intermediary to provide Christmas gifts to prison- er's of war in Canada. Arrange- ments now are nutter way where- by every German combatant 'pile- toner of war will receive a Christ- mas gift from Germany. Already some carloads of Christ- mem hristmas packages provided by the Ger- man Red Cross have been received en Canada for distribution at Christmas time and the delegate of the International Red Cross is malting an angements to provide a supplementary .gift to each Ger- man combatant prisoner of war. Huns Could Land On St. Lawrence "It is quite possible that a sub- marine might land a few 'people at remote points along the St. Lawrence," Hon. Angus L. Mac- donald, minister of naval services, admitted recently. "They landed some in the United States last summer, and General Clark and his' group landed in North Africa and got off all right," he said, referring to the saboteurs taken in the United States and to the United States -Anglo group which got into North Africa, to make contact with the French and plan. invasion. "If any were landed, it would probably be done with a view to sabotage. There is no evidence that any submarines have landed men to buy provisions along the gulf or river. They would not need to do this, as we know they can carry enough provisions across." What Is A Boy? The Big Brother Movement • says: He is a person who is going to carry on . what you have started. He is going to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone attend to those things you think are, so lml: n taut. • You can adopt all the policies you please,' but how they will be carried on depends on him. Even if you make leagues and treaties, he will have to manage them. Ile will assume control of your' cities, states and nation. He is going to move in and take over your prisons, churches, schools, universities and corpora- tions. All your work is going. to be judged and praised or condemned by him. Your reputation and your fu- .tue'e are in his hands, All your work is for him, and the fate of the nations and of humanity is in his hands. So it might be as well to pay him some attention,.

YOUTH'S STRONG POINTS The Se Catharines Standard states a military fact when it says the calling of very young men into the fighting forces is based on the realization that "their response to leadership, their quick recovery from fatigue, their aggressiveness, their enthusiasm, and their flair for soldiering far exceed such qualties in other age groups." • —Brantford Expositor. TIDBITS FOR "TINY" Goering, who says Germany won't go short of food, is making sure ' he won't go short himself. From Istanbul conies a report that Goering's personal plane visits that city every Thursday to load up with lobsters and caviar at $7.50 each and $15 a pound, respectively. —Sault Ste. Marie Star. LIVING SPADE IDEAS According to statistics recently published by the City Council of Warsaw, the average number of Jews compelled to ,live in one room in the Warsaw ghetto has, in the summer of 1942, reached the un- heard of number of 14. Hitler has badly waa'ped ideas about living space.—Kitchener Record. SOME GOOD IN ITALIANS A Canadian who flew at Malta says the Italian airmen fight "like gentlemen," not like the Huns. Italians as a race have, in fact, a streak of 'decency which not even Mussolini could wholly eradicate— and decent Italians hate the Ger- mans like poison.—Ottawa Journal. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER Manufacturers and merchants who violently dislike the price ceiling may get a different slant on things when they learn that, after the inflation of the last war, over 21,000 small independent mer- chants and manufacturers went out of business in 1921. —Ohesley Baterprise. GIVE THEM A CHANCE .In Italian newspaper recently stated that the Italian people have got very little out of the war. The Italian" -people •complain that they haven't got out of the war at all. —Montreal Star. THE BOOK SHELF HIS MAJESTY'S YANKEES By Thomas H. Raddall His Majesty's Yankees deals with the part played in the Ameri- can Revolution by the Yankees of Nova Scotia, that maritime province which was to be a re- fuge • for bomeleas American tories. With real perspective the author presents a thrilling adventure story, an affecting romance and a segment from the American past which has remained untouched by contemporary novelists. The story is told by David Strang and recounts his efforts to join Nova Scotia to her rebel. Iious'sisters in the south. The story moves through land cam- paigns and breathless adventures on a privateer, with David Strang's love affair adding eoun•• terpoint to the main theme of this remarkable first novel.
