__ Christmas Cardg.

The Christmas card as we know it has an origin easily traceable, and it is doubtless at least sixty yours since » the first was designed. The artist who claimed to be its originator and'wbo` was, at any rate, the drst to see its

ssibliitics was W. C. T. Dobson, A., who, when quits a young man,

in 18-14, was prompted iit Christmas to make ii little sketch symbolic of the scnsoirs joys and 'festivities and tb send tt to ri friend. It seemed to glvb great pleasure, and the next ycar l\fl'.\ Dobson determined to follow up the idea on a larger scnle, and_ by having *bis card photographed was enabled to send copies to twenty-live or thirty friends. The delight with which they were rccclvcd was so great that Mr. Dobson was quick to perceive that be lmd round out 11 new pleasure for Christmas.-New York Mail and Ex- press. `

[0°1>rf1|hk 1904. lu Awrlsla Brel Asodsuoal The memory verses glve_ us the heart pt thslassoa and 10&,tha wholavhdbls story. Not-.only at Christmas, but at all-times,-lt is 'a mosh app_roprlutosst_ud,v, for we'_ cannot -understand 'our Bibles unless we 'keep before usthe-plan and purpose of God "as revealed therein. 'rue seed or the woman- or Gen; 111, 15, is the Son of-Abraham, the Son of Dn- vid ot lilatt-.f l. 1;f the Son- of Mary ot Luke i, 80-33. who is to have' the throne ot His father, David, and -relguover the house ot- Jacob forever- and of wbose_ kingdom there is~to be' no cud. He ls the lion ot Judah and tho root of David of Rev. v, 5; the rootund ot!- spriug ol DuvldI1x`n11~the-bright and mordug star ot' Rev. xxii, 16;'ti1c King ot Qifgs and Lord of lords otltev. xvli, llpirtx, 16. He is the Creator and pos- sessor and controller ot ali things, the Redeemer of Israel, the only Saviour ot sinners, th`e Judgo of ull mankind. -

At the so called Christmas time the children and all who attend the Suu- day school are apt~to bear it good dcal about the Babe in Bethlehem, but they are not apt to hear that tho child Jesus was born and was crucified as the Klug‘ of the Jews (Mutt. tl,' 2;' xxvli, 37). Even though our lesson today is from the prophecy of lsulnh,"wi1ose iuossags was.prlmurlly to Judah-and ;`lerusnlem (chapters i, 1; ll, 1), it ls probable that very little may be said about Judah or; Jerusiileiu, yet the throne of David at Jerusalem is the- central place in the lesson. _

Verses 1 and 2 take us on to their tul-'

illlmeut, or purtlul fultlllmcut, recorded. in Matt. iv, 14, 16, and us to n practical application of them to our own duily1 life I am reminded of a request that came to me from u inlssionury in Afri- ca risking for piiayer thut'wbilc learn- ing the language of the people they (walking lu darkness) might see in him a great light, even Christ made mimi- fest in him. Would it not be a good prayer for each of us that Christ might, so live in us that all about us who aref still in darkness might see the iight- ot His life in us and be drawn to Him.

Verses 3 to 5 tell ot' the joy of the

people when their Grout Delivérer slmii bavs; broken the yoke of every oppress- or. The lirsi: part of verse 3 should be, “’.l`hou hast multiplied tho nation, and Thou linst increased the joy." See re- vised version. It will be by an over- throw of their enemies, for it will be the day of vengeance upon their cne- mies, but of redemption for Israel (Isa. xxxly, S; xxxv, -1; lxlii, 4). '.l.‘bc1'e is 110 abiding joy to i1 nation or individual apart from that which only He can give. 'l`lie Spirit loves to tell ot Isrncl's i‘11tu1'c.glory; “The ransomed ot' the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting ‘j'oyi1'1pon1 their bends. Tlicy shall obtain joy and gluducss, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isa. Xxxv, 10; ll, 11). “'l‘lte Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall bo

ended” (Isa. lx, li), 20).

“Unto us 11 child is born, untous a

son is given," bud its falullmcnt, or at least the ilrst clause had, when the nn- gcl said to the shepherds on Bethle- henrs plains, “Unto you is'born~tl1il day in the city of David u Saviour; which is Christ the Lord" (Luke ii, 11). Let us not fail to notice the words "uu- to you" or in our lesson “unto us.” It is Israel first and then allpeoplc. The Sixty-seventh Psalm is almost without significance unless the oft repeated

“us” ot verses J. and 7 is Fees to refer

to Israel. ` ' _

“The government shall he _upon His

shoulder," “Of the increase or His gov- ernment and peace there sbull _be no ond upon the throne ot_ Ditv_id,?’ etc. This must be taken as literally us “Un- to us ri child is born." There is no oth-

er__l1onest way to treat lt. All other ln- tc [rretatlons are pcrverslons and wrongs done to the word of God, from all which the Lord deliver uslr Let the Lord’s own message to David and the message of Gabriel to Mary stand in all their sublime simplicity a_nd_grand- cur (11 sum. vii, 12-ia; Luke i, so-33). ana do not hesitate tb believe tim it shall be just as God says. Rejoice to say, “I believe God tliiit it shall be even as it was told mei' (Acts _xxvli,_25).

‘_‘A. king shall reign in rlglitgousness,

* * * and the work ot righteousness shall be peace. and the eilect of rlglit- eousuoss quietness and assurance for- ever” (Isp. xxkli, 1, 17),'H.o` shall bosecn to bo.“wondert'nl in cpuhs¢l_'und"e_xcel-

‘lent in working " “Great in counsel mid

mlg}ii;y_ i11 .\v_orlt" (Isa. xxyiil; 20; Jcr. xxx l, 10). Ho is the mighty God and the everlasting Fntlier, and He is say- lnsito uscven now. “Cal_|_;1qt9 are, and I will answer thee and ahe\v..tbeq.'g;;e11t und_mlgl1ty_ things which thou knbwest not" (J¢l`- XXXIII. 8). and it becoiiics us to say, "Ah, Lord God,"Ueholt_l>`J1‘hou liastmnde the heaven and tim emi: by Thy, greittpowsr unIi_st\‘i=.tf:\ws1,1>11|;,'ttrm." _Hp is.the_Prlnce_ol Peace, tho God or Peace, the Pcut:s`,.0I_ Cod; _Hi;ppy___tbo1;¢ who can. truly say. ‘Hats our pause," “He ‘ls my psilcs" (Blp_li.,li, 13). anilbdp- pier-'sriii an who have isameli to “ter the peace of God rula in their hqarts" (001. iii; 15)) Wiiefnei-'mei1'm‘1iy accent God!! purpgaqfor Israel or not, tha iteql of the I_.or_d 'of bolt! wlllpertorm it (vor-ge _7).
