LESSON FOR JANUARY 20
PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE.

C.DI.UCN TUXT-'Tot- mlno eves Imvn

jmii'd lirfnro tho face of all pooploK."
Luko 2:00-31,
This lesKon concerns the matter of
the presentation of tho Christ child In
the temple loit.v days after his birth.
Kver since tho redemption of the Hi nt
born of luacl on that dm I: night In
Hgypt, when the destroying anol puts
ed through the laud and smot.e all the
flrst-boiu of the Kgyptlans, tho first
born soif of every Hebrew family be
longed unto the service of God, As u
substitute for all tho flrst-boin, tho
tribe of Levi was chosen lo act as
priests. Ily this, however, the Hebrew
paiciits v.cvc not exempt from the pre
tcntution of their HrM-born to God.
Ily reason of the choosing of the I.c
vltes, the flist-bntn son or the lamlly
was released from priestly service on
tho payment of a certain amount of
redemption money.
Joseph and Mary being righteous
parents, obeyed this law nnd presented
the Christ child in tho temple. In thus
presenting tho child, thoso patents
realized tho great truth, which all par
cuts should realli.0, that our children
belong to God, and aro but loaned to
us. Christian parents should imltnto
the example of Joseph and Mary.
-Mary nlso niado a pergonal offering
as a token of her appreciation of tho
gordncss of God. It was a small gift,
it is true, but it was the best that sho
In her humble circumstances lire could
give, nnd, therefore, was as accept
able to God as any offering of much
higher value would have been. Would
It. not be a good thlrg to celebrate tho
birth of your child by making a spe
cial offeiing, or gitt to tho cause of
Godp some needy work?
Wo have a wonderful description of
tho work of Christ in this lesson. He
Is tho light of the world. Not one, but
every nation is to feel the effect of his
coming. On one occasion, when n
Japanese convert to Christianity was
summoned before the magistrates and
called upon to give n reason why ho
had forsaken his national religion, he
was told that Japan had religion
enough nnd did not want any more;
that Confucianism was good enough
for scholars, and nuddhlsm for the
masses. The Japancso convert replied,
"If Confucianism Is an nll-sulJlclent re
ligion, why is it, since the founder liv
ed thousands of years before Christ
nnd taught during a long life, that It
hac not spread beyond China and Ja
pan? And if Puddhism Is an all-sufficient
religion, how is it, started by
Pudda thousands of years beforo
Christ, and taught by him through n
long life, that It has not spread be
yond India, China, and Japan? If
Christianity la a bad religion, how hi it,
blnco lis founder taught three years,
and was put to death when he was
tlilrty-threo years old, that it has
spread over all tho world?"
Jesus Is tho doFlre of all the nations
There Is no satisfaction to be found in
nny religion outhldo of him. Kven
Simeon, representing tho Old Testa
ment, did not llnd lull satlstaction un
til ho had seen tho Chi lot child.
Tho salvation of tho world centers
In Christ. He is tho only Saviour.
Christ is tho only person who can savo
tho world from Itr, sin. Tho world
had had rcformors, scholars, phlloso
phers, philanthropists beforo Chriht,
but It never had a Saviour. Jesu3
Christ is tho only person born Into
tho world with reference- to tho sins
of men.
Wo may learn a lesson of what It
means to have faith In Christ from tho
words of Simeon. Ho had seen no
mighty works wrought by Christ; no
miracles had been performed In his
eight; ho had heard no words of king
ly dignity from tho lips of Jesus;
Christ had pressed upon this good
man's henrt no claims to Messiahship
and yet with the cyo of faith ho caw
all theso things in tho Infant Jesus.
Centuiies hnvo rolled by blnco Simeon
lived and died, and Jesus Chi 1st has
been piovcn beyond nil reasonable
doubt to be all theso things to be,
and to do all that Simeon in prophecy
claimed for him, and yet wo may ask,
"Po wo hellovo in Christ, tho Christ
of tho 'past us ho believed In tho Chrlfat
of tho future?"
Christ Is a, rovoalor of men's hearts.
A man's character Is Judged by his at
tit'ido toward Christ. Wo seo in tho
character of Christ nbsoluto goodness,
.ove, truth, hotfor, purity. Thcrefoie
to sco Christ, to see truth, love, good
ness, purity, and not to lovo and
:hooo him is to reveal a stnto of heart
which, like that of Gallio, "cares for
ncno or theeo things."
Simeon was satisfied when ho had
wen the Christ. To seo him is tho
grandest sight In nil tho world. Wo
aro often nsked, "Have you seen tho
sights In Itomo, In Greece, In Italy?"
And If wo reply In the negative, It Is
hinted that wo hnvo mlhscd a great
part of llfo. Hut thcro Is a light moro
Important to seo than any mnterlal
vision, nnd that la, tho glory of God
In tho face of Jesus Christ. Ilavo you
!p"u this sight? Have you seen tho
'Leo of Jesus? Have you seen tho
