By Rev. H. 7. Stevenson.

Christmas calls for the consideration
of the greatest event in the history of
men. the incarnation or birth Of Jesus.
the great MesSiauic deIiverer. whose
coming had been from the days of
Moses unto John the Baptist the theme
of the prophets in all ages.
In the darkest hours OF the Jewish
people the hope Of the Messiah has been
a source of inspiration and encourage
ment for them to wait until the plan Of
God for the ages had been completed.
In one Of the most critical periods and
darkest hours OF the history Of judah,
Isaiah, who was the first one of the
prophets clearly TO grasp the concep-
tion of universal history. by making
known TO his countrymen Gods plan
enabled Judah successfully to weather
the storm that threatened to destroy
the nation.
Isaiah placed religious value upon
patriotism and taught the doctrine of
the absolute dependence upon Cod.
Ahaz. by his fatal foreign policy. had
filled Judah with degradation. disaster
and despair, when Syria and Israel
combined against Judah. Isaiah advised
d dependence upon God. The cowardly
Ahaz sought and secured the interven-
tion of Assyria. Tiglath -Pileser swift
ly responded and the ruthless warriors
Of the Euphrates swept over Pales-
tine leaving the country desolated and
the people brokenh hearted"
The inhabitants OF Calilee and Perea
were carried into captivity, plunging
the nation into utter despair. Amid the
great moral and social darkness that
overshadowed the land, the poor starv-
ing people cursed their God and de-
nounced their king, because they had
been forced to give up to their pretend
ed ally over half Of their territory and
see immense numbers of Israel $
choicest citizens carried az captives
| beyond the Euphrates. Against that
dark background Isaiah, whose heart
| was filed with the spirit of God. out
lined to the suffering nation the glories
| Of the coming Messiah that have been
| assigned for this weeks study.
| The spiritual significance Of the advent
| Of the Hero-Kin2 was probably not as
clear to isaiah as to those who have seen
how his prophecies were fulfilled In the
life Of Christ Jesus. Nevertheless, the
statesmsnlike suggestions Of the
iprophet furnish an exceIiant illustration
IA
