The completeness and integ rity of God's creation including spiritual man will be brought out at Christian Science services this Sunday. The Lesson-Sermon entitled "God the Only Cause 'and Cre ator" will include the following verse from the King James Ver sion of the Bible (Matt. 7:18): "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." Among the correlative pas sages to be read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy will be the following (539:19-22): "It is false to say that Truth and error commingle in crea tion. In parable and argument, this falsity is exposed by our Master as self-evldently wrong." The Golden Text is from Isaiah (45:18): "Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else." .

Y7HAT a wondrous story Luke " tells, of the coming of the Christ-child, and of the meaning of His coming to the world! - , "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." ) We are so familiar with that story that perhaps we lose some of its full significance. We can. hardly picture a world without Christ and the Christmas story. And yet it is only as we think back to accounts of a world with out Christmas that we can real ize what ,the coming of Jesus meant to the world. Much has been said about the materializing and the paganizing of Christmas. It is true that for many persons Christmas is mere ly a joyous festival, with little relation to the first Christmas or the Christ. . x ! n But only those get the true joy of Christmas who celebrate it as the birthday of th Babe who' came to manifest the divine in! the human, to live our earthly life that He might bring us near tO God. But no forgetfulness of God. or violence of men, can wipe out the reality of the holy birth in Beth-! lehem, or the glory that sur rounded the manger there. t Within the next two weeks all who will may journey across the! centuries to the outbuildings of an humble inn.: There, in the company of the Wise Men and:, the Shepherds, they will lay the treasures of their hearts before! the Babe God'seternaT gif t to man. t j&8&x jw Will, you be there?
