Christmas should be a seaso
that is Christ-filled, otherwise i
is not Cl^ristma^, regardless o
our pretensiops.
A consideration of the messag
the risen Lord sent unto th
church at Laodicet, may chastei
and quicken us, as we make vail
attempts to have Christmas with
out Christ. Strangely enough
when Jesus said, "Behold I stam
at the door and knock," He wa
speaking to His - church or thi
church that purported to he His
Even His church had closed it
doors on HimJ and He was plead
ing for entrahee into His owi
church. The irony of the thought
- that Jesus had been turned out o
His own curch.
-... The plight of Jesus before th<
dorh of the church at Laodicei
may be symbolic 01 trie plight o
Jesus before the doors of the 20tl
century world. He stands an<
knocks in earnest effort to ente
into His own. _ Of Him, it wa:
said, "He came unto His own an<
His own received Him not."
Christmas should be a seasoi
fraught with peace and,good-wil
among the nations and among th<
sons pf men. It should be a sea
son of soul-searching and prayer:
and holy meditations when th<
souls of men are filled-with solerm
contbfnplations. Even as the Jew:
made the Holy Temple a den o
? thieves, though dedicated as i
house of prayers; so we of thi
20th centurjf have made Christ
rafts a travesty of the birth o
Christ.

? The merchants are having a
y field day vying with one another

trade is the slogan among the
merchants of the nation." The
streets are crowded and 'crowing
_ with eager shoppers, spending
and spending ih one fteverish
1 Christmas spree. .
~ The millions jostling in our
streets on Christmas shopping
bent, are* oblivious of the Christ
ir who is standing at the Christmas
door, knocking and knocking,, saying.
"If any man hear Mv voice
I will come in and sup with him
n and he with M'e." The world of
trade is too busy with its buying
f and selling to heed the plaintive
knocking of J^he blessed Son of
e God"

e than this self-same giver who
gives grudgingly in the hope of

change of Christmas presents.
1 Giving to such persons is merely
a form and fashion, and their
f hearts are not in their giving any
more than their genuine gratitude
q is in their receiving. They u^
