Jesus Christ won the name which is above every name because He served mankind as no one else had done, and gave His life for its sake. Thereby He became the Saviour of men--their great leader who can guide them into eternal life and blessedness. Thereby He also became _the Lord_ to the glory of God the Father. During the war America gave herself to the service of mankind as did no other nation. Therefore the suppressed looked to America quietly imploring for aid, and therefore it might be said truthfully, especially in 1918: "O, America, you are the Hope of the World today!" Now the question remains: Will America continue to be the great, unselfish servant among the nations, above all others, leading them into the riddance of the thraldom of greediness, guided by the spirit of the Lord? Then--if she does--she will win a name above the names of all other nations, because she will be the great servant who shows the way to the highest ideals--to the pure, charitable and peaceful thoughts among nations in that national and human brotherhood for which God created them: Of one blood all nations of men. This I wish with all my heart. But it devolves upon you, young people, to answer. It devolves upon you to determine whether this will continue to be true: "_America! You are the Hope of the World today!_" _God bless you, America!--God bless you with all your homes and with all your youth!_ * * * * * Transcriber's Notes: Page 20, "heavey" changed to "heavy" (heavy laden, and I will) Page 34, "wordly" changed to "worldly" (in worldly things) Page 54, "thnig" changed to "thing" (And one thing more) Page 106, "mircle" changed to "miracle" (fact of the miracle as) Page 116, "couquer" changed to "conquer" (power can conquer) Page 116, "spirtis" changed to "spirits" (of the evil spirits) Page 116, "principalties" changed to "principalities" (struggle with principalities) Page 122, "to" changed to "b (be sacrificed and life) End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Christmas Gift, by N.
