THE FIRST part of our lesspn
is concerned with the prophecy of
Isaiah about the coming of the
Messiah. We will have room only
for a brief mention of It. Every
thing In the kingdom of Israel
was In ruin. There was no king
worthy of the name on the throne,
and it was felt that a king must
come, that God would take pity
on His people and give them a
real ruler.
Isaiah's prophecy must have
brought his people comfort: "For
unto us a child is Joorn. unto us a
son Is given and the government
shall be upon His shoulder: And
His name shall be called Wonder
ful. Counsellor, The mighty God;
The everlasting Father. The
Prince of Peace."
'Of the' Increase of His govern
ment and peace there shall be no
end, upon the throne of David, ahd
upon his kingdom, ... to order
' It." anaWfestatflsn' If with dg.
ment and with justice from hence
forth even for ever. The seal of
the"Lord of Host will perform
this."
Annttnclatlon to Mary
St. Luke, poet and physician,
tells the lovely story of the an
nunciation 'to Mary The story
really starts with the priest
Zacharias and his' wife, Elizabeth,
rwho Was a'ktnswoman of Mary's.
'The angel dabVtel had appeared to
.'Zacharias in the'.tehiple and told
him his wife' frould soon have a
child, and they should call him
John. Zacharias was doubtful be
cause Elizabeth was no longer
young, and because of" his unbe
lief, he lost the'pdwer to speak.
He would, recover It when the
' '"child was born, he was told.
SJx months after this "the an-
' 'ger 'Gabriel' ,w sent from God
unto a city of Galilee named Naz-
''areth.' Galilee was the richest
part of Palestine, but Nazareth
was known' as an evil city Mary,
"betrothed Jto Josiph, lived there,
and the angel appeared to her and
'said, ''Hall.' thou art highly fa
vpred,. Jhe Lord is with thee:
' bleSSedart' thoil "ani6ng women."
'Mary waai troubled at this say
,ing, and could, hot understand.
Thef angel said, ''Fear not, Mary:
ipr ' thoii "hast found favor ' with
, God." Then' he told hef She would
have a 'child and his name should
be Jeeus; and; "He shall be great,
and shall be called the Son of the
' Highest : ' and the Lord Cod shall
gtve'Vinto fllnVfhfe throne of His
K.
fatter David. .
Ana fve snau reign over me
house of "Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there STiall be no
end."
Mary Goes to Eiliabeth
Gabriel alsb tolrj Mary that "her
cousin Elizabeth was going to
have a child. After the angel had
left her, Mary hastened to Eliza
beth's home. Elizabeth, hearing
her salutation, knew at once that
something wonderful had hap
pened to her kinswoman, and re
joiced. Mary said, "My soul doth mag
nify the Lord, And my spirit hath
rejoiced in God my Saviour.
"For He hath regarded the low
estate of His handrnaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth all gen
eration shall fl me blessed.
"For He thatis' mighty -hith
done to me great things; and hbly
is His name." dc.-'-the great
Magnificat.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for
three months and then returned to
ler own home, and Elizabeth gave
birth to a boy ,v and said his name
would' be John. Relatives told her
no 'one of their family had ever
had that name, and appealed to
Zacharias, who asked for paper
and wrote, "His name Is John."
As soon as he had written this his
mouth Was opftried'and,"he spake,
ahd praised God," beine filled with
the Holy Ghost.
Zacharias prophesied that the
Lord "hath visited and redeemed
His people. . . . That We be saved
from Our enemies, and from the
hand of all that hate us,"
And to the Babe he said, "And
thou, child, shalt be called the
prophet of the Highest: for thou
shalt go before the face of the
Lord to prepare His ways."
John, Forerunner of Christ
This child was none other than
John the Baptist, the forerunner
of Christ. The chapter ends with
the words, "And the child grew,
and waxed strong In spirit, and
was in the deserts till the day of
his shewing unto Israel."
In conclusion we refer to Peter's
advice to the Christians who were
being persecuted for their faith: ,
"And who Is he that wll harm
you. If ye be followers of that
which is good ?
"But if ye suffer for righteous
ness' sake, happy are ye: and be
not afraid of their terror, neither
be troubled;
"But sanctify the Lord God rn
your hearts: and be ready always
to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason 1 of . trie
hope that is In you with meek
ness and fear.
"Having 'a good conscience;
that whereas they speak evll of
you, as of evildoers, they may be
asha-ned that falsely accuse your

commandments" (Jbhn 14:15). "If
ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide - in my love"- (John
15:10).
