Brlsca i Golden Text: And the light shin eth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehend it not. St. John 1:5 i The Message of Peace. Then came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, for this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias," saying "The voice of one cry ing in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight." Following the reign of the Judges which we studied in last Sunday's lesson we came to the reign of the Kings under the reign of Saul begun that series of government which are narrated in the books of the Kings, books of which there are six, but known as first and second Samuel; first and second Kings and first and second Chronicles which extended over many hundreds of years, and which is much a repetition of the kind of government that existed un der the reign of the prophets. Dur ing this time when the people were obedient to Jehova they prospered. But when they forgot Jehovah and returned to worship of idols, then came adversity to them, their enem ies triumphed over them, their coun try overrun by the kingdom round about under Rheaboam when the ten tribes rebelled and formed the King dom of Israel with Jereboam. the son of Nabat, who made Israel sin. thus making the two kingdoms. Judea and Israel. During the history of these two kindoms it is very plainly illustrated that when the people followed the commands cf Jehovah they prosper ed. For during this time Israel had more bad kings than good ones and Juda had more good kings than bad ones. The kingdom cf Israel mft with more reverses than the kingdom of Judea and were finally carried away into captivity never atrain to return. Judah who had more good kinjrs than bad ones lasted as a na tion for one hundred and forty ye-rs after the destruction of Israel. Then on account of their sins notwith standing the repeated warnings of the phopbet Jeremiah they were car ried away into captivity to Babylon by Nebchadnczzer where they re mained for seventy years until the land of Israel should have its rest. Follow ing their return under Ezra and Nehtmiah they were in adver sity aud with sometimes periods of prospertiy with years of govern ment by themselves and most of the time under the domination of some foreign government being liberated a number of tini-s as in the case of Judas Maccabees; until they finally fell under the control of Rome. This brings us to just before the time Christ was born. Society was in a most deplorable condition. The church under the rule of the priest hood had be-en and were stickers for the letter of the law. while the spirit which the law was intended to incul cate was given but little considera tion. There was never a condition in the history of man more opportune for the coming of the Reedeemer than at this time. The temple of God was desecrated and had become the trad ing market for those who delt in the things required in the sacrifice, as was later illustrated when the Master himself overturned the tables of the money changers and drove those out of the temple with a scorge of cord? saying, "My Father's house is called the house of prayer but she has made it a den of thieves. ' This was liter ally true for those shrewd old Jews verily skinned those who came to buy lands, pigeons and turtle doves for sacrifice and at the same time charged exorbitant rates of the ex change to convert the money of those who came from other countries to the money required to purchase the animals for sacrifice. Such was the condition before the coming of the Master, who it was prophesied was to be born at Bethlehem. Ceasar Augustus was at this time Emperor of Rome, and with the gov erning he also exacted very high taxes from the people. He issued a decree that all Israel should be tax ed. This taxing was done by the head of the families that none might be missed. The home of the family of Joseph and Mary, while they lived at Naz areth really had boen at Bethlehem which Vas the old home of David, where they were called to be taxed. and to this place they came on the most accepted style of traveling at that time in that country, which was very mountainous, with but few roads and they being mostly mountain trails, with a burro, Mary the wife riding the burro, and Joseph the hus band, leading it, walking auead. Many were coming to Bethlehem, where this taxing was to be made. The keeper of the hotel which was called an Inn, furnished rooms as long as there were any to furnUh. but Joseph and Mary coming a long way were late in arriving, and all the accommodations of the Inn were taken. To secure shelter for the night they secured lodging in a stable, with the animals, and in the manger, where the feed was placed for the animals, they made their bad. That the son of God, the redeemer of the world, should be born under such circum stances and while be held the wealth of heaven and earth in his hands, is something many people do not un derstand. However, he was thus born and was like one of the lowliest, that; he might know the very severest ad-j versifies of mankind. j In this he was prepared to Judge, and to sympathize with the failures ( of man, and was prepared to become ' the real savior of man, which was His misaioa- On. tha nlgbt when Jesus was born there were shepherds The Store With the Christmas Atmosphere! ij You will find us attuned to the season and prepared to supply your wants be they for your everyday provision needs or gift goods.

Murray, Nebr. fea? ft tending their flock in the fields by night, they stayed all night with the sheep, and as they were resticg. and talking of tbe things which was to i pass. For they were students of the scripture and they Baid that the Christ should be born, and it was 'just at this juncture, came the angel I from heaven and addressing the shep herds said "For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. It v.-cs a wonderful things to this crowd of shepherds, that there should come out of heaven a messenger telling of the coming of the Savior of man. The angel said to the shepherds. "This is a sign to you. Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." Then also appeared a host of heavenly visitors singing "Glory to God in the highest, and on each peace among men in whom he is well pleased. Then the angels went away, and af ter they had gone the shepherds went to Bethlehem, where the found Jos eph. Mary and tbe babe lying in the manger as they had been told. Then they told what the angels said, and all that heard wondered at the things which they beard. To this the mother Mary ystened and pon dered the the things in her heart. The prophicies has in their toll ing of the coming of the Savior, said that he should be king of Israel, and this was learned by Herod, and in order to prevent some one coming in competition with himself and the Kingdom of Israel as a material kingdom issued an edict that all the children of Israel and especially in and near Bethlehem b killed. Then in a dream Joseph was warn ed by God to take tbe young child and his mother and go to Egypt and remain until he should be called home. After two years was Josrpl. called back home and they return ed and went to their old home at Nazareth, where ' they made their home during tbe boyhood and youth of Jesus. This story at this time just pre ceding Christmas, when the Savior was born is a most beautirr.i one. j coming out in sharp contrast with j the lessons which we have been J studying of the time in which sin and i hardship prevailed. When Jesus came j the very embodyment of love, tend-; erness and tbe representative of the most high Father, and who coming as a bab with tenderness and love, was to in the later years be the one who was to give his life that the world ml2ht live. The greafest thicg whaeh rre carl do is to carry the message of thiS Redeemer to the world by both word of mouth and the practicing of the life which he came to this world to teach.
