ALLIANCE HERALD. THURSDAY. DfOT.aO.fV1T. REMIMimt TMK SOLDIER iuY i MtmnoNAL SlNMrSOIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Acting Director ot the Sunday School Course of the Moody I Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, WVno-rn NVwipaper fnlon ) Lesson for December 23 FIRST THE STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS. LESSON TEXT-Matthew 2:1-11 GOLDEN TEXT-There la born to you thla day In the city of David, a 8avlor, who Is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11. The story of the hlrth of Jesus is recorded In three of the four Gospels, Matthew, Luke and John, each of which contributes some feature essen tial to complete the picture. No one should teach this lesson who does dot have a good "harmony of the Gospels." Every year for the 45 yenrs Of the International Sunday School Lessons, we have had the Christmas lesson taken from these three Gospels one at a time. This year In closing the present series, we unite all three Gospels In one complete story, "The jfitory of the First Christmas." ! The order of events should clearly be kept In mind as follows: "The nugellc announcement to Zacharlas, the priest, while In the exercise of his ministerial office. The angelic an nouncement to Mury, the mother of Jesus, and to Joseph, her espoused husband. Mary's visit to her cousin, Elizabeth, and the birth of John tha 'Baptist. The birth of Jesus and his circumcision on the eighth day (Luke 2:21). His redemption some 31 days later. Introducing Simon the priest .(Luke 2:22), and the purification of jthe mother. The Mining of Jesus was at the most opportune time In all the history of jthe world, for Palestine was the cen tral region of the Romnn empire. The whole civilized world was subject to Roman domination. Ht was borD ;whlle the entire world was at peace, ,for once in its history. Travel was at Its best, for the Roman military roads all centered In Koine and ex tended throughout the empire. The Greek language was spoken every where, along with native languages, so that the Gospel could readily be heard in all parts of the empire. The Old Testament was translated into Greek. The Jews were scattered 'throughout all lands, carrying this Old Testament with them, and had estab lished their synagogues in nearly ev ery city and town. There was also a wide-spread Intellectual and moral awakening, and there was wide-spread religious unrest and a hungering for something better. , I, The Search. Notice that he who was born on this first Christmas, was the "only begotten of God." This div ine being became flesh, a strange and seemingly impossible union, but only such a union of the human and divine could draw man to God. If Jesus had not been identified with the divine nature of God. all the love, honor and devotion which we give to him, would, lead us into Idolatry. (1) Wisdom seeking (vv. 1, 2). See also Acts 13:6. Who these men were, we do not know, They 'were evidently students of the stars, and perhaps came from Persia, whither Balaam went. (Numbers, 123:7; Numbers 24:17-19.) They may have known or uanieis propnecy. They came because they had seen a star. A little light, only a small star, Itmd we may have the sun. (John o:lU.) ine niguesi wisuoiu is iu uun God. (Prov. 9:10.) We do not have to seek far to find him. The highest wisdom is also teachable: "Where is be that is bornr" These wise men were not the first ones to seek him, for the humble shepherds who had heard the angelic host (Luke 2:15, 10), Immediately went to Jerusalem to make sure that the good news was true. Tradition only gives us the names of these men. Chey typify tha world, the first Gentiles who came to seek Jesus. (2) Wickedness aeeiung i(v. 3-8). It is interesting to now the alarm of Herod, ms suspt Hnn nnrt lenlousv. Why? Note the carefulness of Herod's search. First the chief priests, who were the ologians; then the scribes and lawyers, who were the historians; then the .common people wno wem familiar .with the traditions; and. finally, the wise men (v. 7). II. Wisdom Rewarded (vv. 9-11). Persistent obedient searching aftei God always brings wisdom. Notice the steps of the wise men. They sought, they found, they rejoiced, they worshiped and they gave gifts. The table of Christ's birth la evidently an exchange for a house (v. 11 and Luke 2:7). The gifts they presented have a threefold significance: uoia, lor royalty, Indicating divine glory ; Frank- Incense for deity, tne aroma or me life ; Myrrh, signifying death, bis death and its value to mankind. Notice mai they did not worship Mary. III. Wickedness Foiled (vv. 12-10;. God Intervened (v. 12). Notice the Impotent rage of the enemy (v. 16), Christ wag delivered. Herod was dis mayed, and the people were desolate. Suggestions: The cry "where" 01 Notice lor riinhcatton. Department of fhe Interior. IT. 8. Land Office nt Alliance, Nebraska, Nov 7, 1917.

The object of the campaign is to arouse the people of the nation to a realization of what the war means 10 them and what their patriotlo j duty Is. The movement has already been extended by the League into 24 states and will, within a short time, be ac- j tlvely under way in all of the 48 j statea. The principal part of the League's plan Is the organisation of j a system of addresses on patriotlo itber consideration to this most lmpon and war topics by means of which tant subject.

Senate Converts. The Security League's canvass shows three new advocatea of Universal Training In the Senate Newlands, of fNevada; France, of Maryland; and Tillman, of South Carolina, the last two being recent converts, having pre) viously been recorded as non-commlU till. Senators Shafroth, of Colorado, and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, also re iplled recently, but non-commlttally, Only four Senators are definitely onj record against Universal Military Training Gronna, of North Dakota; iKirby, of Alabama; and Vardaman and 'Williams, of Mississippi. ' Some of the letters received by the 'Security League from the Senators and Representatives, particularly those who are recent converts, are Interest- 'ing. Senator Tillman writes, "I am in hearty sympathy with the idea and will vote for any reasonable scheme that may be put before the Senatu." "For some time past I have been In favor of Universal Military Training," writes Senator France, "and I think that It would be desirable to give fur. ,5 Two Dollar Y 1 JtUU Talks Loud li Out in th I nland Empire of thoTaci fie Northwe the five and ten iMo visa rid acre rancbes are getting drbody for worldAteeding cropsJptT 191ft.
