m IKE writing a gospel to prove that
81 Jesus was the Savior of the world,

~ IKE, writing gospel to prove that
81 Jesus was the Savior Of the world.
- introduced Him to humanity by
the humble shepherds Of Bethlehem.
Matthew, writing with the desire to DEM
onstrate that Jesus was the long-expect-
ed Messiah, announces the birth of the
Christ by the visit Of the wise men from
the east, whose question. Where is He
that is born King of the Jews?" created
a sensation in the palace, startled the
priests and aroused the people of the city
by proclaiming the birth of the Messianic
King.
The concise, complete and comprehen-
sive statements of Matthew. recorded in
our lesson, presents important incidents
that were matters of historical record
and popular tradition that established the
fact that Jesus In His birth fulfilled the
prophetic predictions and explained how
He came to reside In Nazareth. The
visit of the wise men is but an incident
in Matthews argument that brings the
gospel record into close connection with
the Messianic faith, history and science,
furnishing incidentally combinations OF
our faith. The visit Of the magi brings
the heather world into contact with
Christ during His childhood and was
prophetic of the. hour when the nations
Of the earth shall come to acknowledge
Him to be their Lord.

I have in my possession prescrip- tion for nervous debility, lack of vigor and weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many Wsrn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- tional help or medicine-that l think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virilty. quickly and quietly, should have copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from a physician who has made special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest t-acting combination tor the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, se- cure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me line like this: Dr. A. F. Robinson. 4270 Luck Building, Detroit; Mich, and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $300 to $500 for merely writing out q prescription like this but I send it entirely free.
