LESSON XIII, -- December 24. } A VISION OF PEACE--Isalah 11; 1.9. GOLDEN TEXT--The earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea, -- (sa, 11: 9, : a THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time, -- Isaiah's early prophecies {Beccher), B.C. 766. Death of Isaiah, |' Place. -- Jerusalen, } And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a "ranch out of his rodts shall bear fruit. THE SPIRIT OF JEHOVAH, "And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse." The refer- ence to the "shoot" out of the "stock" or "stump" of Jesse "means simply that the future King is to be 'of the house and lineage of David' (Luke 2: 4). "And & branch out of his roots shall bear fruit." Of lowly origin, springing from the base of a stump, yet the Kingdom which Isaiah fore-' saw, the Kingdom of God which the Son of God came to establish, was to be a fruitful kingdom, it was to re- store the ancient glory of David. "And the Spirit of Jehovah shail rest upon him," How is the Spirit of Jehovah to rest upon the coming King, the Messiah? In six different ways set forth in this verse and in a sev- erth way set forth in the next verse, reminding us of thy "Leven spirits" of God pictured so splendidly in Rev. 1:4. "The spirit of wisdom and under- standing." Wisdom in himself and understanding or discernment of oth- ers are the basal qualities of a judge or ruler, and these old Lord possessed more than any other man, "The spirit of counsel and might." *" 'Counsel' is the faculty of adapting means to ends or of forming right resolutions; 'might' the energy necessary to carry them through." "The spirit of knowl- eage and tle fear of Jehovah" The tear of God, we are told, is the begin- ning of wisdom, the beginning of the knowledge ov God, the highest wis- dom. "And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah." The word translated "delight," "in the original Hebrew properly means 'his smelling,' or 'scenting with satisfaction, and hence 'taking pleasure in,' used espe- cially of Jehovah taking pleasure in and so accepting sacrifice of sacrifi- cial ceremonial' "And he shall not jicge after the sight of his ayes, neither decide afler the hearing of Lis ears." "'God seeth the heart. Our lord 'knew men's thoughts' (Matt. 9:4 etc.), nd therefore did not need to 'judge according to the appearance' (John 7:24). " "But with vighteousness shall he judge the poor." Ou: Lord said that ke came to earth, among other things, "to preach good things to the poor." His heart was always open to the needs of the sick, the impoverished, the downtrodden, the suffering. He vebuked most sternly the cruel rich, and the hypocrites who "devoured "And decide with equity for the meek of the earth." "Blessed are the meek," said Christ, "for they shall inherit the earth." In the courts of early judges, pride and arrogance, confideice and self-asser- tion, hold sway and often win their cases} inthe court --6f the Infinite "Judge meekness will be the conquering quality, and humanity will win the verdict. "And he shall smite the eurth with the rod of his mouth," 'Meekness has rule in the Messiah's kingdom, but meeknesr is far from weakness. "And with the breath cf his lips shall he slay tke wicked." Our God needs no weapo:s against - the evil. "And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulneas the girdle of his loins." "The Spirit makes the King so different that his garments stand in sharp rontrast to those of the old warriors. 'HE EARTH FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF JEHOVAH. "And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb," References to the fierce and ravening wolf are found all through the Bible. "And the leopard shall lie c¢own with the kid," The leopard, that spotted wild beast, is now found chiefly east of the Jordan, but in Bible times. it as cvidently ~ more common west of the Jordan than it is now, and preyed mainly on kids, though it somes times attacked main. "And the calf and the young lion and the fatling to- gether," In Bible times lions were common in Palestine, especially in the forests and in the bushes along the Jordan. 'And a little child shall lead them," Our Lord said that only those who become as little children can enter the kingdom of heaven. This is be- cause of a child's humility, his trust- fulness -and teachableness.

Naomi's complete outfit, tailor- ed suit, blouse, undergarments and ac- cessories included, cost just $21.61, And here is how she managed to give herself the smartly dressed look onan amount which many a woman of moderate income would consider not unreasonable for shoes, hat and hand- bag. First, she made everything ex- cept the shoes and hose herself, A good "needlewoman with a.flair for style, she turned out her tweed suit and hat forthe cost of the material, $10.16. ° ; The ornament for her hat came from a last year's dress, The zipper-fasten- wool handbag and gloves, which did much to give the smart accent to her tailléur, were also of her own making, put together from scraps of wool from a last year's dess. The zipper-asten- ing of the bag she salvaged from a dis- carded pocket-book, Contests in style this year have shown *that farm girls are learning to make the most of what they have, said Mrs, Josephine Arnquist Bakke, of Ames, Iowa, who directed the 4-H Club style show here, } "It is not just learning to 'make over'," sald Mrs, Bakke. "In Iowa we have made over things until there is literally nothing left to remodel, . At- tics are depleted. ~ So our girls have learned to use materials that they never dreamed of using for garments pefore and it is encouraging to see what lovely things they have made. "We call them 'surprise garments.' They are made from sugar socks, flour sacks, and even burlap. Our girls learn to treat these rougher materials to make them soft. Burlap, for in- stance, is"treated with lye to. take the roughness out of it, Trimmed in a suitable colored material, - like wool yarn, you have no idea what good look- ing garments can be made of it. "Our girls learn that style lsn't gomething that must be bought with money. It takes cleverness to be smart. If a girl understands the fun- damentals of good style she may learn the joy of creating something right in color, design and style at a nominal cost. > The success of the show, Mrs, Bakke thought, lay in the simplicity and good taste of the costumes and the natural- pess of the girls. -------- Sound-proof Cars Run on Subway in New York New York.--Some of the roar was taken out of the roaring New York subway when five new "soundproof" cars were sandwiched in between five other cars on an express train, Repre- sentatives of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company rode in the new cars to see how the passengerse liked it. Some seemed surprised, others pleas- ed, and the rest didn't seem to notice 'any difference. "Now that we are on the way to cutting out noise," said J.-S.

"These cases are just as well taken care of inthe homes as in the hos- pital, The Victorian Order of Nurses is used in many places and also local nurses where th: V.O.N, is not avail- able. A nurse remains in the home during the confinement period, and there is no question about the case being well looked after, This system has been adopted extensively through out the country. : "The cost formerly of sending a patient to the hospiia: was $37.60, of which the county and the municipality each paid one-half," Dr. Hyland said. "Under ghe new arrangement u "ome maternity case costs the county $3 and the municipality has $23.76 to spend on local nurses and doctors. This 1s available only to families on relief. "Even among families who. can afford to pay their own medical ex- penses confinements often take place by choice at home," Dr. Hyland con tinued, "It is quite safe. If condi- tions in our relief home were of such a kind from a sanitary standpoint that it was dangerous, the case would, of course, be sent to the hospital, "The municipalities exert no pres- sure on the doctors, It is entirely up to the doctor whether a case goes to the hospital or not. The council merz- ly ask the doctor that the home av- rangements be made where possible. York township is among the munici- palities which have adopted this plan."
