C. t REV. ROBERT K HARPER t ! The Ground of Universal Joy. Lesson for Dec. 24: Luke 2:8-12; Hebrews l:}-4; 1 John 1:1-4. j Golden Text: Luke 2:10. The ground of universal joy is the salvation Jesus makes possible to all. The herald angel brought tid ings of “great joy” to the shep herds, because of Christ’s birth, di rected them to find Him in the man ger in Bethlehem, and said the joy should be “to all people.” The shepherds were honored indeed, but were only a part of the vast host for whom Jesus came. And we should feel the responsiblity of sharing Him with others. In Hebrews we learn of the glory of Christ as the final and perfect manifestation of God—a glory far surpassing that of the prophets and angels through whom God had spoken in time past. And ’tis joy enough to Christians to share in the glory of their Lord. From I John comes assurance cf the joy which believers have in their knowledge of abiding reality, their fellowship one with another, and with the Father and the Son. John’s expressed purpose in writ ing of such things is “that our joy may be made full.” No joy can equal that of the consciousness of good life which shall endless be This is the joy of those who receive the tidings of Christ intc their hearts. The gospel — the good news — should bring abiding joy. Cultivat# the art of being happy, cheerful content, through your faith am* your service. Speeding the tiding.* of great joy to men. you will con firm and augment the joy of youi own salvation. And this latest Yule- tide may your faith be strengthened and your good deeds multiplied, that you may have a joyous Christ mas and a happy New Year.

If stocks pile up in fertiliser plants and agents* ware houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must move fast or the lack of man - p6wef will cause a para lyzing shortage. Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To supply the quantity needed for 1C45 crops, many car goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation; It must move out of agents* hands as fast as it moves in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the ports, even back to the ships. Already there’s a threatened shortage of nitrogen, due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help smash the bottle-neck by taking your nitrate as soon as it is offered, the shortage will become acute. Thous ands of tons will pile up at U.S. ports or on the docks in Chile.
