Omission
A little old man, whose hobby
was inspecting the inscriptions on
tombstones, stooped over to peer
again at one in particular. He read
it aloud this time,
j “Here lies John Barrister, who
was a great lawyer and an honest
man,” he read.
! "Durn it,” he exclaimed, “they
put the lawyer’s name on it, why
didn’t they put the other fella’s.”

KNOWS NO
SEASON
While giving is the paramount attribute of Christmas, as it is gen
erally observed, records show thaS giving is not really confined to any
one season of the year.
There are thousands of little acts of courtesy and greater acts of
self-sacrifice and giving that punctuate the entire year.
For instance, there are tho women who shared their ration coupons
in the years befora rationing was lifted in England . . . There's the
quarter of a million Americans who contributed a penny each so that
a tiny church in a Colorado commumty might have a church bell . . .
The youngsters in Nunspeet, Holland, who shared the contents of their
piggy bank with their financially embarrassed parents . . . The thought-
ltd transit company in Calgary that provides free rides for pensioners
. . . The railway engineer who backed bis locomotive many miles to
rescue a motorist be bad seen stranded in a blizzard.
The graciousness of giving really knows no season when the human
heart is touched.
HARK, THE HERALD ANGELS ... Another thing that we Ameri
cans have good reason to be thankful for is that our youngsters
still can sing Christmas carols the way they want to without any
dictatorial Intervention. These angelic-looking choir boys were
photographed at the Church of the Heavenly rest in New York as
they held a dress rehearsal for the Christmas season.

ON CHRISTMAS
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 7-14; Jeremiah
29; 31; Luke 1.
DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 139:
1-10.
Is God Available?
Foreman
The safest way to insure against
fire at Christmas time which might
originate from the Christmas tree
is to keep the tree standing in
plain, ordinary water from the
time you get it home until you
discard it after the holidays.
That’s the most practical, satis
factory and convenient method
found so far for reducing fire haz
ards and keeping tree needles from
losing their color or dropping from
the tree.
Tests show that keeping trees
standing in water will prevent
needles from drying out and be
coming inflammable. They con
tinue to appear fresh and green.
As compared with tests of trees
standing in fire-retardant chemi
cals, it was found that trees so
treated did not absorb the chemi
cals rapidly or in as large amounts
as water. This resulted in increased
combustibility, needle discoloration
and fall.
Here’s how to carry out the tree
treatment suggested:
Select a tree cut as recently as
possible. Cut about an inch diag
onally off the bottom of the trunk.
Stand the tree at once in a con
tainer of water, and keep the wat
er level above the edges of the cut
during the entire time the tree is
in the house. If the tree is not set
up at once, keep it standing in wat
er in a cool place.
This treatment does not make
the tree absolutely flame-proof, so
other cautions are necessary. Check
the wiring of lights and keep tinsel
and other flammable material and
decorations away from the sockets
of the light bulbs on the tree.
Educated Santas
School Teaches Kringle Know-How
A school for Santa Clauses?
Yes, there is one, and it’s the only educational institution of its
kind in the world.
Graduates wear white wig and whiskers, red suit trimmed in
white fur, wide white belt and black leather boots.
It is the Santa Claus School at Albion, New York. It gives
credits for deep, jovial laughter and twinkling, smiling eyes.
Fresh out of Santa Claus school, a graduate with honors in
throaty “ho-hoing” knows, among other things, how to remain
calm when a kid glares and yells, “There ain’t no Santa Claus,”
and how to maintain diplomatic relations with a parent who thinks
Santa Claus has given her tot the brushoff.
The school holds that to be a good Santa Claus, one has to
almost believe he really is Santa Claus.
The Santa Clauses are taught that when a fresh kid declares
there isn’t any Santa Claus to say: “I wouldn’t be too sure of that,
son—I wouldn't be too sure, if I were you.”
Caroling Held Favorite
With Many at Christmas
One of the favorite customs of
Christmas Eve in many sections
of the world is the singing of car
ds.
The carols are sometimes called
•noels” because of the word having
originated in France and descend
ing from the Latin word meaning
a “cry of joy at Christmas.” Car
ols also once meant round dancers
accompanied by gay songs. The
earliest collection of carols was
published about 1521.
The Yule Log
A medieval Christmas toast al
ways accompanied the burning of
the Yule log. It was:
‘This Yule log burns. It destroys
old hatreds . nd misunderstandings.
Let your envies vanish and the
spirit of good fellowship reign su
preme for this season and all
through the year.”
But if you want a Yule log in
the best Christmas tradition it
should be of oak, ash, olive, apple
of pine.
EPIPHANY EVE
Trees Bow in Adoration of Christ in Syria
Among the most interesting leg-
nds connected with Christmas is
>ne popular in Syria and is con-
iected with Epiphany eve. Accord-
ng to this legend at twelve mid-
ight on that night the trees bow
n adoration before the Christ-
hild. The night, which the Syrians
all “Laitat-al-Qadr” is held to be
.ie “night of destiny.” One writer
om that co rntry describes the be
lief thusly:
“But what was anything com
pared to the feast of Epiphany,
which we celebrated in commem
oration of the baptism of Jesus in
the River Jordan 12 days after
Christmas. I was taught to believe
and joyously did believe that the
rivers and fountains of the entire
world became suddenly holy about
sunset on Epiphany eve.
Lesson for December 18, 1949
D OES GOD EXIST? Yes. There
is every good reason to believe
that he does. But when we have an
swered that question in the affirm
ative, we have not settled the most
Important questions
of religion There
are the other two
questions of equal
importance: What
kind of God is he?
and. Is he avail
able? Let us give
some thought to
this last question.
One of our Christ
mas carols begins,
“Draw nigh, draw
nigh, Immanuel!” Immanuel Is one
of the names by which Jesus is
called, for the Christian church has
always read Isaiah 7:14 as a proph
ecy of Jesus Christ. The name
means “God with us” and is the an
swer to the deepest cry of the
heart.
God in heaven far away,-God the
Creator who set in motion this
mighty universe, God the All-power
ful ruling beyond the stars, God
the Eternal who knows neither
youth nor age.
Such a God has sometimes been
believed in by men who neverthe
less walked in a dark cloud of
loneliness, doubting that so great
a God could possibly have any in
terest in their own affairs.
Is God WITH ns? Is God
with US? Is GOD with us? That
is the question that torments
the troubled mind. With one
voice, the whole church of God
answers Yes; the name of the
one in whose face we see the
glory of God is named “God-
with-ns.”
| In the first chapter of the Bible
we hear of a God who walked with
his children in a garden. In the
first chapters of the Gospels we
hear songs to the God who has “vis
ited his people;” and in almost the
last chapter of the Bible we hear
the promise, “God himself shall be
with them and be their God.
* • *
“When ye shall search for him
with all your hearts”
IWfOST TRUTHS are two-sided.
1 ^ You have to keep both sides in
mind or you will not fully under
stand. God is with us yes; God is
with all men, yes—that is, there are
no favorites with him, he refuses
his presence to no one. God is al
ways available, available to all.
That is one side of the truth.
The other side is this: God is not
equally with all men. Some men
are alienated from God. Some men
are godless. Even among those with
whom God lives, we may fairly say
that God is with some in a higher
degree, in fuller measure, than he
Is with others. Jeremiah gives the
clue to this truth: “Ye shall seek
me and find me, when ye shall
search for me with all your heart.”
(Jer. 29:13.) Those who do not
search for God will not find him.
Those whose search is half
hearted only half-find him.
God does not enter uninvited.
He is available, bat he will
not force his way in. We
can see how this is when
we think about Christians we
know. It does not make sense
to say that they are all equally
godly.
We have known some great
Christians of whom we might al
most dare to say that Paul’s prayer
had been answered, that they have
been “filled with the fulness of
of God.” (Eph. 3:19.) But in other
Christians, who certainly have
some small seed of faith in them,
it may be hard even for a kindly
observer to see many signs of God’s
presence.
• • •
“Thou can’st, a little
baby thing. . .
G OD IS in all things, “he shines
in ail that’s fair,” as we sing
the familiar hymn. But the center
of the Christian faith is that God
comes to man especially and most
closely in Jesus Christ.
No matter how strongly men
believed in God in olden times,
always they looked forward, as
the prophets show, to a time
when God would come nearer
than he had been before. True,
it was a surprise when finally
he oame to Bethlehem, “a little
baby thing that made a woman
cry.”
A world accustomed to kings In
purple robes, in w e 11-guarded
castles , was surprised that the
King of the Universe would be
found as a child among the poor.
But after all, which better repre
sents the All-Available God— a king
behind his palace walls, or a child
in a home that loves him?
