Tie news brought by the wise Men

was troubled with him. The news
ought to have brought joy. A glimpse
at the social customs In and about
Jerusalem at that day will enable us
to understand why this news brought
uneasiness to the people. They were
living in the greatest luxury. Fine
dresses, sumptuous feasts, fine houses,
etc, led to gross immoralities. They
did not want a Savior who would
a Y them from their sins-they
wanted to continue in them. Herod
demanded of the priests and scribes
information as to where Christ should
be born. They sOOn were able to tell
him. These people had a technical
knowledge of the Scriptures, but had
no heart for the Savior set forth
therein. They had no disposition to
seek Him. This all occurred in Jeru.

Long before Whittier, even such an
artificial poet as Alexander Pope, had
caught the modern idea, if rot the
modern note. In his Messiah" he sings
in that measure of which he was such a
master, but which now, with its
rhymed poetry and glorious trappings
seems somewhat stilted:
The Saviour comes! by ancient bards
foretold.
Hear him, ye deaf, and all We blind, be-
hold!
He from thick films shall purge the
visual ray
on the sightless eyebaIls pour the
day;
IT'S he, the INSTRUCTED paths of sound
shall clear,
bid new music harm the unfold
ing ear.
The d1mb shall sing: the lame his
crutch forego,
leap exulting like the bounding
roe.
No sigh, no murmur, the wide world
From every face he wipes off every
tear.
Milton's grand hymn to the Nativity
