CHWRISTMAS ISs COMING state ‘_ The good tidings which the angel brought has become the gospel of toâ€" day, good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people. It was the revelation of a loving God, of a salâ€" \vation, not for a select few only, but ‘for all, of peace, andof justice, and of |good will. It was a message to stir ‘the hearts of men, to give hope to the ‘despairing, strength to the discouragâ€" led, pardon to the sinner, and new life ‘to dead souls. ' 8â€"20. | INTRODUCTIONâ€"It is an historical fact, which no eomrhnt student of history can overlook or deny, that Isaiah‘s visions of the child Iinmanuel (Isa. 7:14), and the child with the wonderful names, who is to sit upon David‘s throne (Isa. 9:6â€"7), and the descendant of the royal line of Jesse, endowed with the spirit of the Lord for kingly rule (Isa. 11: 1â€"5), are fulâ€" filled in the birth and ministry and spiritual kingdom of Jesus Christ. It is true that Jesus gave to the ancient prophecy a new direction and a new \interpretation. He was not born in a palace, nor did he sit upon a throne, nor lead victorious armies. His conâ€" (lemporaries did not at first recognize him as the expected Messianic king. He sought a spiritual and not a maâ€" terial kingdom, that he might rule in the minds and hearts of men. He himâ€" self regarded that as a true fulfilment of the prophet‘s vision, and so also did his disciples and the Christian church from the beginning. See Luke 1:68â€"70. He who humbled himself has been highly exalted and has been given a name which is above every name, which compels by the might of selfâ€" sacrificing love the homage of all manâ€" kind, Phil. 2:8â€"11. I. THE BIRTH oF JEHSUS, 1â€"7. In those days Caesar Augustus, Emperor of Rome, ruled the world round about the Mediterranean sea and far beyond. His decree, thereâ€" fore, must have been obeyed in Palesâ€" tine, which was then part of the Roâ€" man province of Syria. Quirinius was one of two Roman legates then in Syria. Tertullian, an early Christian scholar and writer, mentions the other in 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 people to return for the purpose of such enrolment to their original home; hence, we find Joseph and Mary reâ€" turning to the ancestFal home at Bethâ€" 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. 2:1â€"12. 4 | Jesus is here called the firstborn \son of Mary. That she had other chilâ€" dren born to her afterward is clear from Matt. 12:46 and 13:55â€"56. [II. TwE ANGELS AND THE SHEPHERDS, | 8â€"20. The good tidings had two distinet an yot closely. related notes, Glory to God, and peate among men. Henceâ€" forth, through the revelation of him in flesh and blood, in Jesus Christ, God was to become better known to men, known in his true character, as he really is. Not remote and high, far from man‘s weakness, but very near; not cold and silent, or wrathful and cruel, but merciful, patient, kind, and loving; Jesus revealed God as Father and Friend of man.

It seems fitting as we look back through the centuries of Christian history, that the first announcement of the Saviour‘s birth should have been made to shepherds. David, his ‘rreat ancestor, had been a shepherd first and then a king. The shepherd was more truly reprosentative of the people than the prince or the priest or the scholar. is lonely life in the open country disposed him to dreams and visions. It must not be supposed that he was either poor or ignorant. In Old Testament times, Amos, the shepherd, was on> of the most notable of the prophets. We may very well believe that these shopherds of the Bethichem hills were of" those who cherished the great hope of a coming King and Saviour, and were, thereâ€" fore, prepared in mind and heart for the visit of the angel of the Lord.

Would Provide Supply in Case of Shortageâ€"Is Not Commercially Practical West Orange, N.J.â€"Thomas _ A. Edison has developed new processes for extracting rubber from common North American plants, he has just announced here, Although â€" these processes are not economical enough to compete commercialy with rubâ€" ber from the tropics, they assure an ample domestic supply in the event of any shortage, the inventor said. The disclosure of the results of his study were made by Mr. Edison to a party of railroad men who visited the West Orange laboratories.. Mr, Edison, who was engaged in researct, stopped long enough to explain his work. and cut flowers find that they droop quickly when cooler weatier arrives. Leaves turn brown, flower petals shrivel and plants dry up. "I found as high as 3 per cent. of rubber in asters," Mr. Edison said. "Nobody has ever found it before in these plants because everybody had been using alcohol in extracting proâ€" ducts from them. Rubber not being soluble in alcohol, has passed on through and has been missed. A training course for traffic policeâ€" men in a Western State University was recently sponsored.
