There are also grotesque Christ mas visitors. Knave Ruprecht, terror of Teutonic babyhood, has a load of nuts pod spples and other goodiea with him, as well as his traditional bunch of switches. The "Jnlbok" or "klapperbok." a tall, thin beast, with goatskin covered head. Is after naughty Danish children. Just as the "habersack" Is after tboae in the Harts mountains. Sunderkloos sends sometimes a gbat laden with presents. The animals which the saint of Christmas uses for his carriers are quite as varloua. Donner and Blltsen and the other fleet reindeer come first. Santa drives a span of reindeer In Swe den. In Alaska he comes by dog team.

The First Christmas Day Told For the littlest Children LISTEN dear little children, and you ahall bear aboat the very first Christmas day. It was In a country across the ses, far away from here, that some shep herds were watching their flocks one night. The sheep were resting on the grass, the little lambs were fast asleep beside their mothers, but the kind shep herd* were not asleep. They were w atching that no harm should hsppen to the sheep. Perhaps-they were looking op at the state and the beautiful moon above then when suddenly there appeared a wonderful light In the sky, brighter than the moon, or stars, aa If the sky had opened and they saw the glory within. While the shepherds were looking up, wondering what was the cause uf that strange light, a beautiful shining sngel can* near to them and said: *Vear not. I bring you good tidings which shall be to all people. This day is born a Savior, and ye shall find the babe lying In a manger." Jkad suddenly the angel was joined by a multitude of the heavenly host singing praises to God. This was their soog: Glory to God in the highest. on earth Peace, food will toward men. When the angela had gone back to heaven the shepherds ssld they would go to BetMehem and see this Savior of whom the angels sang.. They went and found him. a little baby. In a sta ble, with no cradle to lie In, only a manger for his bed. That little baby was Jesus, who when he grew up said: "Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not, for of snch Is the kingdom of heaven." His birthday waa the first Christmas day, and ever since that time we kept that day as s Joyfnl and happy one.?New Tort Press.

I who la Chriat tha Lord.-Luke ?;1L The story of the birth of Jean* 1? recorded In three of the four Oospels, ilutthew, Lake and John, each of which contribute* gome feature essen tial to complete the picture. No one j should teach thla lesson who doe* not have a good "harmony ? of the Ooapela." Every year for the 45 yearn of the International Sunday School j Leiwoua. we have had the Chrlatmaa lesson taken from these three Oospet* one at a time. This year In closini; the present series, we unite all three Uoapela in one complete atory, "The Story ef the First Christum*." The order of eventa ahould dearly be kept In mind as follows: "The angelic announcement to Zacharlas, the priest, while In the exercise of his ministerial office. The angelic an nouncement to Mary, the mother of Jesu*, and to Juaeph, her espoused husband. Mary's visit to her coualn. Elisabeth, and the Mrth of John the Baptlat. The birth ef Jesus and hit circumcision on the eighth day (Luke 2:21). His redemption, some SI days later. Introducing Simon the priest (Luke 2:22), and' the purification of the mother. The coming it JesUs was at the aiost opportune time In all the history of the world, for Palestine was the cen tral region of the Roman empire. The whole cMllzed world was subject to Rousn domination. He waa born while the entire world was at peace, for once la Its history. Travel was at Its best, for the lloman military roads all centered In Rome and ex tended throughout the empire. The Greek language was spoken every where. along with native languages, ao that th^Gospel could readily he heard in alight* of the empire. The Old Testament was translsted Into Greek. The Jews were scattered throughout all lands, carrying this Old Testament with tb?*tn, and bad estab lished their synagogues In nearly ev ery c|ty and town. There was also a wide-spread Intellectual and moral awakening, and there was wide-spread religious unrest and a hungering for something better. I. The Search. Notice that he who was born on this first Christmas, was the "only begotten of God." This div ine being became flesh, a strange and seemingly Impossible union, bat only such a union of the human and divine could draw man to God. If Jesus had not been Identified with the divine nature of God, all the love, honor uud devotion which we give to him, would lead os Into Idolatry. (1) Wisdom seeking (vv. 1, 2). See also Acts 13 :?. Who these men were, we do-not know. They were evidently students of the stars, and perhaps came from Persia whither Balaam went. (Numbers 23 :T; Numbers 24:17-10.) They may have known of Daniel's prophecy. They came because they had seen s star. A little light, only a small star, and we may hove the sun. (John 8:12.) The highest wisdom Is to know God. (Prov. 9:10.) We do not have to seek far to find him. The highest wisdom li also teachable: "Where Is be that Is born T' These wise men were not tbe first ones to seek him .for tbe hnmhle shepherd* who?bad heard the angelic host (Luke 2:15, 16), Immediately went to Jerusalem to make sure that the good news was true. Tradition 'only gives ns the naints of these men. They typify ths world, the fi^st Gentiles who came to seek Jesus. (2) Wickedness Seeking (v. 8-8). It Is interesting to note the alarm of Herod, his suspi cion and Jealousy. Why "i Note the carefulness of Herod's search. First the chief prlerts, who were the ologian*; then the scribes and lawyers, who were the historians; tlien the common people who were familiar with the traditions: and. finally, the wise men (v. 7). He thought he had not left any loop-hole In his search, bnt he had neglected God. It Is Interesting to know that tbe searching of Scripture on this oc casion did not produce the result <g& most naturally think of In connection with the study of the word of God. 14. Wisdom Rewarded (vv. 0-11). >'er?Utent obedient searching after God always brings \vlsdom. Notice tbe step* of the wise mm. They sought, they found, they rejoiced, I hey worshiped and they gave gifts. The stuble of Christ's birth Is evidently un exchange for a house (v. 11 and Luke 2:7). The glfta they presented have a. threefold significance: Gold, for royalty. Indicating divine glory; Frsnk incense for deity, the aroina of his life; Myrrh, signifying dentil, his denth and Its value to mankind. Notice thai they did not worship Mary. They gave their best gifts and thus they provided for hla flight Into Kgypt. Their gifts represented the world's tribute, but notice that worship came before giving. (Psalm 72:10. 11.) III. Wlakadnsss Foiled (vv. 12-18). God Intervened (v. 12). Notice the Impotent rage of the enemy (v. Ifl). Christ was delivered Herod wss dis mayed, and the people were desolate, due to sin. Notice the contrasts. Men seeking. Jerusalem careless. Men seeking to worship, Herod, to kill. Ood Intervening to protect (v. 12); Herod to destroy (v. 1?). Joy com ing to the wise men, wrath to the foiled wicked noes. Suggestions: The cry "where" of the haman l>e?rt Is here answered. Ood answers nil honest searching. God himself gave his best gift (John 8:1(1). Ood also desires our best gift. We must worship Jeans ns king Religion U not for the Magi alone, nor for the common people; It I* for all We havs not far to go to seek ths Christ. ?NOWAN MOTOR COMPANY.
