CHRISTMAS. <
On Earth Pcace?CJood Will Toward
' Hen.
Christian Neighbor.
Accepting the chronology it may be
said that next Sabbath will be eighteen
hundred and eighty-seven years
since Jesus was born. The angel that
made the announcement to the shepherds
said, "Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you Rood tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For
unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord. And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
a manger. Ana suddenly tnere-was
with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men." The shepherds went and
found as the angel had said. Thus
and then it was that "Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners"
?the salvation of sinners was the
sole business of his coming. All he
did and all he suffered from the manger
to the cross, was to this end.
Having "finished the work"?the
active in his mission?which the Father
had given him to do, and having
ended his sufferings?the passive in
his mission?when he "said, 'It is
finished,' and bowed his bead, and
gave up the ghost," and havi
n n? rionn fpnm flm nrt/1 Vi tt_
x ug iiocu ixv/iu i/iic uvctiiy auu u?ting
ascended up into heaven, and
having, of right, received of the Father
"all power in heaven and in
earth," he gave to the apostles and
other disciples the mandatory commission
to "go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature"?
"that God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not
perish", but have everlasting life,"
"but that he that believeth not shall
be damned."
"The record which God gave of his
Son"?"Christ and him crucified"?
fnith oa it ia in Toana"?"tVin
word"?is that which men are commanded
to preach. The subject matter,
the "text," of all true and faithful
preaching is the gospel of Christ
which alone and of itself is the power
of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth.
"Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God," and
in no other way. Aocording to
accepted teaching so is faith. For
faith to staud in the power of God it
must be led to such standing by the
teaching of the word of God, even as
the inspired teacher o the Gentiles
said of the matter and anner of his
speed) and ins preacmng. "i determined
not to know anything among
you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.
. . . And my speech and my *
preaching was not with enticing words
of man's wisdom, but in demonstration
of the of Spirit and of power:
that your faith should not stand in the
wisdom of men, but in the power of
God."
The gospel thus known by those
called of God to preach it, and thus
preached, and thus believed, will be
attended by the Spirit who will make
that gospel the experienced power of
God unto salvation to every one that
believeth.
All who experience this power unto
salvation will feel to join in th^ song
of the angels at the birtli or tiie
Saviour, Christ the Lord: Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will to men.
A peaceful Christmas to all readers
of the Christian* Neighbor?good
will to all others. Amen.
Commendable.?The Woman's National
Indian Association, according to
the report of its recent Annual Meeting
in the Washington Avenue Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., is doing
a good work for the poor Indians.
