ANALYSIS. \L. THE BIRTH OF JESUS, 1-7. | INTRODUCTION---It is an historical fact, which no competent student of history can overlook or deny, that Isaiah's visions of the ehild Immanuel (Isa, 7:14), and the child with the won! ul names, who is to sit upon David's throne (Isa. 9:6-7), and the nt of the royal line of Jesse endowed with the spirit of the Lord for kingly rule (Isa. 11: 1-5), are ful- filled in the birth and ministry and spiritual kingdom of Jesus Christ. It is true that Jesus gave to the ancient rophecy a new direction and a new interpret He was not born in a palace, nor did he sit pon a throne, nor lead vietorious armies. His con- itemporaries did not at first recognize him as the expected Messianic king. He sought a spiritual and not a ma- terial kingdom, that he might rule in the minds and hearts of men. He him- self regarded that as a true fulfilment of the prophet's vision, and so also his disciples and the Christian See Luke ved for the luncheon or supper main between the slices, and press down 1:68-70.

In those days Caesar Augustus, Emperor of Rome, ruled the worl roundabout the Mediterranean sea and far beyond. His decree, there- fore, must have been obeyed in Pales- tine, which was then part of the Ro- man province of Syria, Quirinius was one of two Roman legates then in Syria. Tertullian, an early Christian [scholar and writer, mentions the other Jin this connection. Such enrolments of people and property were made within the empire from time to time. The date was about B.C. 6. It seems to have been the custom in the eastern provinces of the empire to require ople to return for the purpose of such enrolment to their original home; hence, we find Joseph and Mary re- turning to the ancestral home at Beth- lehem, from Nazareth, which was in Galilee, much farther north, There Jesus was born, and the manger in a cattle shed was the cradle of the king. For the story of the visit of the wise men and the guiding star, see Matt. Jesus is here called the firstborn son of Mary. That she had other chil- dren born to her afterward is clear from Matt. 12:46 and 18:56-566.

One such scheme which at the moment of writing is being open- ed by Lord Irwin is the Ganga Canal in Bikanir, ' It has a main length of 8414 miles, and the area irrigated will be about 620,000acres. It is said to be the longest lined canal in the world ~The lining, done with concrete, has permitted 44,500 acres to be added to the irrigated area. The sole uniined stretch of the main canal, of 11 miles, will be finish- ed during the next six months, Most the research work which he has been doing for the past. year, he continued. |[Among these plants are golden rod, asters and dandelions. : "I found as high as 8 per cent. of rubber in asters," Mr. Edison sald.
