christmas season of 1000 when j britain was at war with the boers in south africa and i love to think of the day that have been for even then as i now no matter how dire the situation may be the corning of christmas always i brings relief it breaks down trouble i nd for a brief time enables most of us to cast away care and tn the midst of difficulties enables us to find peace in these days preachers and other learned people tell us that men live by people who teach that have no right to teach it on t actons preachers told an audience at a rival meeting not long ago thi what i our poor pnopfe needed was mnre o 0d as he sold u in church of course no ne questioned him but i must tell him here that he is not altogether rlghl aiul i must say this to him donl imagine that people axe godless because they donl go to church- there is mil plenty of true religion yes real christianity tn the humblest homes of acton after oil its more important to live a oud life seven days a week than to attend church twice on sunday suppose we knew all there was to know the mass of us would still live by faith christmas comes once a year in the same way we cannot prove it but it is the bible story of the birth of christ and we believe it is a fact we hove faith many people never attend service or make a public confession of their faith in god or eternity nevertheless they believe in god and a future life their hearty god bless you hen they shae your hand piov it and so it is with christmas it lb an sot of faith repeated year after year thr leuchlng of jti whtlixr ail accept it or not is for all time and christmas means just as much today as it did when we were children rhe world would be a much more evil pice if for any reason the birthday of christ as taken away from us there is a new thought pssmg through our minds today the actions of exsemice mm are one expression of it some of the jmn we know hare been pushing through some cry troublesome times and a grateful country has not seemed to care much about it but thesa men have learnt that god has been with them through these years and through faith have kept their heads up in spite of no employment or em- peoymrat which some men know would not care to do knocking at peoples doors for ixtance and taskrng for their and bones and newspapers ood i all they have left and they have the faith to look and see the christ who sold i will never leave thee nor for sake thee so now mr preacher dont tell them too often that what they oeed tm more of god if rou do you must not be annoyed if they answer you bock wmeumat then again what did paul teach and now abideui faith hope and lovt the greatest of these is lovx thats the true messsge of christmas so christmas saves- us all w coles cheerio tws glad with for htppi- neta
