point wus Impossible, was announced
to his father, Zaiharlas. For his un
i.e'.lef hH was smitten with dumbness,
i.o.l expects of his servant unques
tioned belief In what He protulsea.
Leoion 2. Jesus was born In Bethle
hem Just as the prophet hod foretold
some 700 yenrs before, and at the a(te
,.f twelve years he consciously en
tered Into the services of God's bouse.
Uoufh conscious of His divine being

istry whs a preparntlon fur Iho com
ing of Christ. He fearlessly preached
repentance and pronounced Judgment
upon the Impenitent. Though u mighty
umi.ter, ha humbly declared that
Christ wal Immeasurably g renter
than himself.
Le.ion 4. Jesus Christ after His
I'sptlsm was led by the Spirit Into
the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil. The nurDOse was to test the
realltv of the Incarnation. The re
suit was complete victory a deuion
airutlou of His ability to save to the
i.tu-in.xjt all who trust lllm.
leoson 5. Isaiah foretold the gold
en age upon the earth when Christ
mil reign.
Leoaon 8. While Jesus was here He
healed all kinds of diseases and cast
o;.t devils. He authenticated His
mission and proved His power to for
giw sing by miraculous deeds.
Leoaon 7. Jesus taught the dls
ilples the principles which should
govern In His kingdom. Only those
who have been born from above can
loie their enemies.
Louon 8. While In Simon's house
t iliuner, a woman who had been a
notorious sinner anointed Jesus' feet

THE CHRISTMAS TIDE
Beautiful Music Rendered
at Both Morning and
Kvening Service.
The services at ihe M. L. Church
in X'cldon on Sunday, Dec. 24th,
were especially enjoyable in many
ways. At (1:30 o'clock there was
special music appropriate to Christ
mas. Ai ihe eleven o'clock ser
vice the music, ihe Scripture les
son, a fervent prayer by Rev, F.
M. Shainhurger and sermon by
ihe pastor, all bore reference to
ihe happy Christmas tide. One
feature of this service was the pre
sentation by Mr. A. B. Stainback
on behalf of the church and the
choir, a silver card case to Mrs L.
D. Dayman, a handsome leaiher.
fully equipped, toilet case, io Mr.
lili Bloom and a Morocco bound
Hymnal to Mrs. Alice B. Hudson.
Mrs Hayman has served the
church as org inisi faithfully, pa
tiently and for a long time, Mr.
Bloom, un expert violinist, has
added much to the music at every
service and Mrs. Hudson has
served as choir leader for quite a
while. It was entirely fitting and
appropriate that these services
should be acknowledged as they
were in this most happy manner.
The evening service was beaui
ful and impressive. The altar was
elaborately decoraied in while and
green with many candles and just
above a beautiful eleciric star point
ing io the Slur of Bethlehem. The
Chrisimas carols and anthems sung
by ihe choir, assisted by the juni
or choir of ihe church composed
of young girls, was enjoyed in the
highest degree. These were ac
companied by Mrs. W. A. Pierce
at the organ, Mr. Bloom violinist,
Messrs. Grainger and William
Pietce, with cornel and clarionet
and the harmony was entire and
complete, li is seldom that the
Weldon people have listened to a
i .11 .1 .
more enioyutiic program an rcu-
ung io ihe coming of the infant
Saviour and the insirumenial num
ber "A Perleci Day" expressed
the feeling of the congregaiiJii in
regard to the entire service.
