jrVhether the Son of Man, our blessed Lord, was born in December or in April is not of g reat consequence to us. We wave no tim e or care for th e controversy. We know He was born of a Virgin. We know He was “ God mani fest in the flesh’’. We know th a t by faith in H im we are born again. And all of th e petty quibblers, or professed scholars, or so-called “ scientists” the world has ever produced could not shake our faith in these facts. Some things we know and th is we know— th a t we have passed out of death into life eternal. We have only pity for these “ raging waves of the. sea, foaming ou t th e ir own shame,—m urm urers, com'plainers, walking after th eir own lusts and speaking g reat swelling words, having men’s persons in adm iration because of advantage,” who deny all th e .fundamentals of our faith. We are glad for th e Christmas tim e in which we can, w ith joyful h earts, commemorate His lowly birth' and th a n k God for th e manger- cradle in which He slept; for the open Heavens and th e angelic proclamation, “Unto you is born th is day in th e city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” F aith in th is fact has made th e dividing line among th e nations and has given us th e stalw arts for the propagation and preservation of th e Scriptures. To th e Modernists Jesus was only a good man— th e best th a t ever lived; bu t HE claimed to be “Christ * * over all, God blessed forever.” God appointed feast days for Israel, bu t hone for the church, for every day is a feast day w ith a tru e believer, and even a fa st day for the body is a wonderful fea st day for th e soul. But many a soul has been won among th e children and th e older ones a t th e Christmas time. So let us gath er w ith our loved ones and friends and children and voice w ith glad h earts our joy and rejoicing, and in th e giving, of our gifts let us be guided by th e Holy Spirit, no t forgetting Him and His interests, giving Him th e best who deserves th e best, an a glad in knowing th a t we shall find such gifts among th e treasu res laid up for us in Heaven. §§!
