LESSON XIII ISAIAH: FORETELLING THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIANIC KING.â€" Us. 7:14 9:1-7; 11:1-5 Golden Text.â€" His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isa. !i:C. THE LESSON I.\ ITS SETTING Time. â€" Isaiah prophesied from about 740 to 701 B.C. The pro- phecies in this lesson were utter- ed approximately at 734 B.C. Isaiah is beyond que.stion the greate-st of the Old Testament prophets. In a prophetic activity extending through a long period of varied experiences and historic- al change, he has given us one of the grandest monuments of inspir- ed thoughts and utterances. The name Isaiah means "Jehovah saves." Propliaties Chritt't Birth W. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a vir- gin shall conceive, and bear a son, and sliall call his name Immanuel. This prophecy wa."? given during the reign of .Ahaz, in the midst of calamities. The child is a sign or a pledge that God is with his peo- ple. This is a truly Messianic passage. The word "Immanuel" means "God with us." Isaiah be- lieved the Messiah to be different from, higher and more divine than any other person who had ever ap- peared in human history. Isa. Ori-7. 1. But there shall be no gloom to her that was in an- guish. In the former lime he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but inthe latter lime hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 2. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the ligLt shincd. Isaiah here prophesies the terrible As.sy- rian invasion but says that in the n>idst of it there will be hope and light. (Zebulun and Napthali were tribal areas in northern Pal- estine, directly west of the Sea of Galilee.) 3. Thou has multiplied the na- tion, thou has increased their joy; they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. "Na- tion" refers to the Jewish nation which will rejoice when their ag- onies are over. 4. For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hag broken as in the day of Midian. 5. For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garment.* rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire. Hii Government (i. For unto us a child is born, unto u» a son is given; and the government shall be upon his â- houldet'. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Five remarkable titles are given to thi* predicted •on. 7. Of the increase of his govern- ment and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to estab- lish it, and to uphold it with jus- tice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. Th« teal of Jehovah of hosts will per- f»im this. The government of Christ as predicted here will be a righteous and just government, an everlasting government. It will be a government set up not by men, but by God, its King appoint- ed by God himself. The Righteou* Judge Isa. 11:1-5. 1. And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit, (a) And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of coun- sel and might, the spirit of know- ledge and of the fear of Jehovah. Here is pictured the endowment (by the Holy Spirit) of the Messi- ah with eminent prophetic gifts and qualifications for his ministry on earth. How is each one of these gifts of the Spirit of God manifest- ed in the earthly ministry of the Lord Jesus? 3. And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sigTit of his eyes, neither decide after the hear- ing of his ears. 4. But with right- eousness shall be judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithful- ness the girdle of his loins. The girdle is the symbol of vigorous, unimpeded strengrth. Christ is righteousness incarnate anJ all his judgments will be according to his character. He will know all cir- lumstances, all motives. Claims Indians Not Decreasing Population Rises One Per Cent A Year On This Continent, Government Official Says Contrary to popular belief, tba North American Indian is not do- creasiag in numbers, according to Dr. H. W. McGill, director, Indiaa Affairs Branch, Ottawa, who ad- dressed a seminar conference at the Uoyal Ontario Museum, To- ronto, recently. Ur. McGlU says there la a nat- ural incr&ase ot about 1 per cant a year in the population of the Indians. This applie.\ ho declared, to the pure-bred tribes on reser- vations, as well as to the inter- racial mixtures. The last census in Canada, five yoars ago, showed a total of 112,500 Indians, Dr. Mc- Gill said, and he was confident the next census would show a sub- stantial increase in this number. Adjustable To Modern Conditions In relating facts which showed tha Indians were readily readjust- ing themselves to modern condi- tions, Ur. McGill mentioned that the C'auglmawaga Indians from Montreal Island were the best structural steel workers on the continent and were in great de- mand. Ontario Tries Winter Barley la response to inquiries about the suitability ot winter barley for Ontario. Mr. Robert Keegau of the Field Husbandry Uepartment, On- tario Agricultural College, gives the following brief stulemenl: â€" During recent years there ap- pears to be an Increasing interest lu winter barley in Ontario, and some very high yields ot grain have been reported. This crop has been In field tests at the Ontario Agricultural College for many years, but has not been unreservedly recommend- ed to the farmers of Ontario as no variety yet tested has been hardy enough to ensure a crop in sea- sons following severo winters. Experimental results at the Col- luge and the experience of farm- ers who have grown winter barley Indicate the following facts about this crop: â€" It is not as dependable a crop as spring barley, but, when not winter killed, it produces excep- tionally high yields. The quality ot the grain U gen- arally excellent. It can be grown on well drained land in parts of the province where the snow cover is good and where winters are not too severe. It matures very early and thus gives an excellent opportunity to control weeds by after harvest cul- tivation. Since summer cultivation Is nec- essary to provide a good seed bed, growing this crop gives good con- trol of weeds as partial summer following can b« practised both before seeding and after barvest- Ing winter barley. Man Who Never Heard Of Hitler Only 10 miles from Downing Street, London, lives a grey-haired hermit, Henry Tillyer. 74. He knows nothing about Hitler and little about the war. Henry boiled a can of tea over a flro in the wooden hut he built on a lonely lane in the village of Har- llngton, Middlesex. "Hitler?" he said. "I don't know what you're talking about. I've heard folk talk about him but who Is he and where does he live?" Can't Afford Newspapers Henry explained he cannot af- ford newspapers or radio and mostly reads the Bible. Shown a gas mask, Tillyer de- cided it would be a good thing to keep flowers in. "I've heard nothing about any crisis except the one I had a few weeks ago when my but burned down," he said. "That was the big- gest for 40 years. A cow in Zebekeny, Hunary, has given birth to a calf with two heads, which have four eyes, two tongues and only two ears. Imputes Success To Upbringing Educator Doubts Heredity Is Influence In Making Fam- ilies Advance Upbringing of a successful fam- ily is a matter ot training, not ot heredity, the anuual conference of secretaries ot (!auadian branches ot the Young Men's Christian As- sociation was told by Dr. Joseph Kopas ot Cleveland. By Learning Hov*( Dr. Kopas, director ot student niiidancB and orientation at Keun College, said that intelligent plan- ning and conscious activity on the part of young people themselves ill all phases ot living is the key- nolo to a greater degree of suc- cess. Such a program ot living Is neeiled particularly, he said, In "the highly complex condition of society today." "It is a matter ot learning how to live successfully with oneself, with others socially, with one's f,imily," Dr. Kopas declared. "People are not born to have a miccessful family â€" It is a matter of learning to have a successful family."
