Where Can We Get a Good Picture ? - In the iooking giass the looking-glass that lies on your table-the Bible looking- glass. The grea: trait of the Bible'is to reveal Christ to us. Long agb Paui wrote '‘We all with ~pen face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same imagé from glory to glory’”’. As we siudy the costumes and customs of the new country into which we are come in -order that we may imitate and appear well so does the iover of the Lord try to study the life'and character of the “ord im ovder to imitate. The boy in the store tries to imitate the master; the maid in the family imitate her mistress. We all are transformed by the ideals that live around us. laestronger the hoid that ideal has upon us the more vivid is the likeness we reproduce. With some of us the tault is that we are studying the Original tco carelessly. In our families we show Christ as a cross-patch a snarling dog. The people of the world blame the Original when the fault is ours. We have made a mis- shapen picture. . Christmas has chiefly 0 do with Christ who is cthe “‘unspea‘:able gift’’. Whatever cheap tcys cr gaudy trinkets or valuable things we give, we ought (0 give our fiiend a real, living, moviag picture of Him who went about doing good.
