Let the Christmas light come into your heart, and all the people will
see in you the beautiful life of peace, contentment, faith, love, and
joy.
The next light represents the light which Jesus brings to the dark
places of the world. He is a light which shines through the darkness.
Here tell the story of heathen countries waiting for the light. He is
the Light of the World.
The next light represents the light of his church. Paul Revere saw
the lights flashing from the tower of Old North Church of Boston, and
on his fleet-footed horse dashed down through the valley spreading
the message of alarm to the people of the sleeping homes. Every true
church is a light-house. It warns us of the power of sin. It shows us
the way of the Cross.
The next light represents the lamp of heaven. Jesus came to open the
doors of heaven, where there is eternal light, and to bid us enter
and be at rest. When he ascended he left a light in the window for us
all, which is his good promise that "Where I am there ye shall be
also." These are the Merry Christmas lights. Once, years ago and
miles away, there was an ancient castle. It was the home of the
silent and absent Prince. It was always dark and gloomy, no light
could be seen in its windows day or night. There was an old tradition
that some time the Prince would return, and then the lights would
appear at every window and the bells would chime out most merrily.
Often the quiet villagers would look up at the castle on the hill and
wonder if the Prince would ever return, and if their eyes should ever
see the long-promised lights. One night the people of the village
were startled by the sound of bells, and from every window of the
castle beautiful lights were shining. The Prince had returned, and
there was great joy among the people. Let us light these nine
Christmas lights now, and we shall all have a Merry Christmas, for
the long-expected Prince from heaven has come to this old dark
castle, the world dwelling in darkness.
=Wilson's Birthday. December 28=
Read as the special Scripture lesson for the hour Isaiah 11:1-10,
which describes the man of peace. Read also Proverbs 3:13-26, which
describes the scholar and education. Secure a picture of the late
President and dwell on his dreams of peace.
=New Year's Eve=
It is hardly possible that you will hold a watch-meeting for the
juniors, but the following program will make a good order for adults
as well as for such children who will attend with them. Secure a
number of candles, one for each hour of the service. If the service
commences at eight o'clock and continues until midnight, put four
lighted candles on the table, one for each hour, and extinguish one
at the end of each hour, and you will have one candle left for the
last hour. This will be impressive.
