girls often want at Christmas time. There is a danger at this season of the year that we may forget that Christmas does not mean the giving and receiving of gifts. It is the cele bration in honor of the birth of Christ, God’s Christmas Gift to the world. In order that we may better under stand, I will change this tree into a tree that will remind us of Christ. (Fold the halves over the front of the tree.) See, this tree makes us think of Christ, for it says, “OUR CHRIST IS BORN.” In thinking of Christmas, let us never forget that the greatest thing to think about as we make our plans is the birthday of Christ, our Saviour.

well as can the people whose skin is white. Likewise, the yellow reproduces the image perfectly. When the mission aries go to China and Japan, they find people who accept Christ and reveal Him to their friends in a way which often puts to shame American- Chris tians. The red-skinned Indians, too, often show fChrist to the unsaved better than do many white people, who are half-hearted about their love and service for Christ. No matter what our color, it is our hearts that count with God.

Objects: Four wax hearts, and a cameo. (The hearts should be red, yellow, black and white. They can be made from molding wax.) Lesson: Before Christ went back to Heaven, He said to His disciples: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com manded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the World” (Matt. 28:19,20). Christ’s Gospel—the good news of His salvation—is for the whole world. I have here four wax hearts, all dif ferent colors. They represent different races of people. Christ ministered to the needs of other nationalities be side the Jews, as is seen in Mark 7 which describes His healing of the Syrophenician woman’s daughter. Here is a cameo with -he image of a person on it. We will let it remind us of Christ. As I press it against the wax heart, it leaves its image on the heart.

Notice that each heart, no matter what its color, is capable of receiving the likeness of the cameo. The like ness is as cl'ear in the black heart as it is in the White one.
