Sunday School Lesson
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

power Of the Christ, we, too, would be
prepared to depart.
Turning to Joseph and Mary, who
marveled at the seer's knowledge of the
Divine Child of prophecy and promise,
Simeon blessed them. He told Mary
that her Son was destined to be the
foundation stone of a new civilization
because OF the infinite possibilities that
were linked up in His life. People would
be lifted up or cast down in accordance
with their attitude toward Him. He
pointed out that He was destined to re-
ceive bitter opposition and had to face
spirit Of unbelief. He told her that
"a sword would pierce her SOUL" Every
mother carries burdens concerning her
children, but none ever was called upon
to suffer more than the Mother of our
Lord. The sword pierced her soul when
Jesus brought division in the family,
when He was condemned by His coun-
trymen, and when she witnessed her
Son die of broken heart upon the
cross.
Anna Prophecies.
All we know about Anna, prophet
ess, we have in the lesson. In a few
words, the beloved physician has given
us a definite and wonderful picture of
her life and character. She belonged
to one of the northern tribes, Asher,
that in both the predictions concerning
1t in the blessing of Jacob and the pre-
dictions of Moses was very favorable.
The tribe failed to meet its obligations
and failed to respond to its privileges
and opportunities. 1t was one of the
lost tribes that failed to return from
captivity. Some families evidently re-
turned and became identified with
Judah, although they preserved their
family and tribal records. Anna, vino
had reached about log years of age, be-
longed to that tribe.
She spent her time in the Temple
"worshipping with HASTINGS and suppli-
cations" When she left the sacred
precincts for the night-for no woman
was allowed to stay there at night-she
kept up her religious devotion. Aged
ones find their greatest consolation in
religious worship and prayer She plead
for the coming of the Messiah to de-
liver and save the nation The fact
that she was prophecies suggests that
she may have given instruction in the
word and along spiritual lines. She rec
ognized the Divine Child as the Messiah
and gave public thanks for His coming.
If we would see the Lord, when He
comes, we need to be spiritually minded
like Simeon and Anna. If we will seek
Him in sincerity as our Savior, we can
be sure that the Holy Spirit viii reveal
Him to us.
