DECEMBER 23 Learning to Wait
D A R K E S T A M E R I C A D o you know that there are thousands o f communities in the United States without a church, where no Gospel is preached? Think o f a generation growing up without knowing the way o f Salvation. A re we going to let those young people at our very doors grow up without seeking to win them to Christ? If you cannot go yourself let us be your representative. W e are reaching as many o f these places as we can. Your prayers and gifts will help us to reach more. Send for literature. REFERENCES Dr. Will H. Houghton
"Wait, I say, on the Lord" (Psa. 27:14). To wait upon God is to expect from God. Struggling, fretfulness, impatience are abandoned by the soul that knows how to wait. That soul will cling and prevail.. The Lord is good to the soul that waiteth for Him. Waiting upon God is also the way to divine favor. It is possible to be busy in good works without having the Lord’s approval, and nothing can make up' for that. We may become so engrossed in Christian service as to have little room in our hearts for the Master Himself. That which our Lord will accept, and will crown in the day of His coming, will be that which has been done in love and faithful ness to Him, and in the power of His Holy SpiritS-Li/e of Faith. “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings o f great joy, which shall be to all people" (Lk. 2:10). God, give me a song for the world that’s- glad When cometh the Christmastide, For fain would I teach the world a song. Joyous and free and clear and strong. Gladness to bring to the Christmas throng. To add to the joys of joyous men, Full in Excelsis sing again. Low and sweet, low and sweet, Down in my heart these words repeat: Jesus the Saviour is born! God, give me a song for the world that’s sad When cometh the Christmastide, For fain would I teach the world a song Cheering and sweet, in comfort strong, To ease life’s hurt and to right life’s wrong; For many there be that walk this day With hearts attired in a lonesome gray; Low and sweet, low and sweet, Down in my heart these words repeat: Jesus the Saviour is bornl — R u th G. W in a n t . “ God .. . gave his . . . Son” (John 3 :16). No human mind can grasp the complete ness o f the union of Father and Son—the holy intimacy, the divine affection. Why should this sacred joy have been inter rupted? Why should heaven have been robbed, for a time, of a dear One that earth might be enriched? My soul, I can not tell. But as I clasp to my heart my Treasure — the heavenly Gift — I would learn that He is mine not only to hold, but also to give. The Father gave. I, too, would give the good news o f the grace that made this sinner free. This is my Christmas lesson; grant, Lord, that I may learn it well.— S elected . DECEMBER 26 Songs in the Night "In the night his song shall be with me’’ (Psa. 42:8). Just as the daytime is in the charge of God’s loving-kindness, so in the night, songs about Him are given to men— memories; hopes, prayers, in all of which He still is first. And the worth and power o f these is such that innumerable children of trouble in every age have found it true DECEMBER 25 Christmas Giving DECEMBER 24 Give Me a Song
