had the radiant singers disappeared
when they were on the way to Beth
lehem. A like obedience on the part
of those who receive the vision of
the Spirit would lead to conversion.
Men as rule, however, no sooner
touch the circumference of religion
than they fly off at a tangent. Need
is of moral earnestness which starts
for the center, saying, Let us now
90 and see!" With heart believes,
with tongue confess. The shepherds
filed the whole region with what
they had heard and seen. The shep-
herds returned How could they?
After sight of angels and Infant
Messiah how could they come back
to the dronish work of minding
sheep? But they did! There was
nothing in their recent experience
to give them a distaste for their
lowly calling or disqualify them for
it. There were, on the contrary, bet
ter shepherds. Uncanny fling has
been made at religion as an other
worldliness" On the contrary religion
is practical, making one "dilligent
in business"

cHRIsTMAs LESSON

Augustus had passion for cen
sustaining. In this instance the
decree issued on the Tiber caused
two obscure peasants to take a
journey along the Jordan. If the
Roman method of enrolment had
been followed Joseph and Mary
would have taken no journey, but
reported where they lived. The En-
peror, however, made a concession
to Hebrew prejudice and allowed
the registration to be made in an
cestrial places. This brought Joseph
and Mary to Bethlehem. 1t brought
others also on the same errand and
in such numbers as to tax all places
of entertainment so that the travel
ers were glad to avail themselves of
stall. Midway between Jerusalem
and Bethlehem was the Watch
tower of the Flock" where the sheep
intended for temple alters were
pastured. 1t was appropriate that
the angel announcement should be
made to the keepers of this flock.
The prepared message came to pre-
pared minds. Each syllable of the
seraphic proclamation is weighed
with meaning. Fear mott The
gospel disarms our native dread OF
supernatural. Bringing good It'd
ings" and evangelising are one and
the same thing. That angel was
first of long line of evangelists.
To all people" signifies the univer-
sal adaptation Amounted. Lord
because all things were created for
him and by him. But this newborn
prince will not be found in golden
crib or under sllken canopy,
Cold on his cradle the dewdropS
are shining
Low lies his bed mid the beasts
of the stall
Humiliation, however, is the very
seal to his messiahisp. Manager and
swaddle are means of identification.
The sign that he is king is that he
is born in a stable, Now on vision
of the shepherds bursts brilliant
spectacle. The arch of night is peo~
pied by a multitude of the heavenly
host. Wave on wave of seraphic
music rolls DER all those Wide-eX-
tended plains. Grander oratorio
never greeted human ears. But the
shepherds were not satisfied by
mere aesthetical enjoyment. They
did not fall to dreaming Their
language was The thing has come
to pass!' Let US 60 and seel' The
scattered sheep at will may CLEAN.
The shepherds start on a run to
Bethlehem. What word is that!
They found the babyl" 1t was no
illusion!
