"Go Even Unto Bethlehem"

A. R. Fraser

The Christmas season is a time when a special oppor­tunity is presented for bestowing gifts on those to whom they will bring genuine pleasure; a time of peace and good will; a time when our thoughts are directed toward the miraculous birth of our Lord in the lowly surroundings of a Judean stable.

Pastoral Entertaining

Miriam Hardinge

Entertaining in the min­ister's family is different. The minister's wife is often called on to entertain at short notice. She must prepare meals for visiting ministers and conference officials and often there is little time for these between-meeting meals. She must, therefore, plan ahead and organize well. Her budget is limited and demands on her hos­pitality many, so she entertains simply. In this she sets a good example.

Money Isn't Everything

Wesley Amundson

How much money does it take to accom­plish good in the cause of Christ? Can pen­nies for Christ be equated with dollars? Does God show more respect for the giver of large sums of money than He does for one who is able only to give lesser amounts? How are we as Christians to eval­uate the giving of money to God's cause?
