"The tree la up and the presents
bought,
But most Important Is the
thought.”
Yes, the thought for which
Christmas really stands. Let us not
be too tied up In our shopping to
remember that Christmas Is the
Anniversary of God’s Gift to the
world. "For God so loved the world
that he gave His only begotten
Son." God gave Him that we might
have everlasting life.
As we enter this Christmas week
let us also make It a week of
thanksgiving for the gift that has
inspired the nations of the world to
try to live in a world of peace and
good will.
The Everett Poole Bible Class
wishes all a very Merry Christmas.
Let us pray that in our day our
world may truly be at peace once
more.
