DECEMBER 26.
Lesson 13.—Tho Babe and the
King.
Illicit V.6—7.
flows* Txxt-Of whom Vera In the law, and
the prophets, did writ*. Jesus of Nusrath—John 1:
Central Truth : —Jesus a sympathising
Brother, almighty Saviour, and everlast
ing King.
The round o' weeks ho* brought u* to
the closing Sabbath of the year. With
the present leson the year's studies are
completed. This fact can hardly fail to 1
suggest thoughts of sober retrospection.
Bat, as this dav is the one which the
Kt body of Christians have agreed to
_) as the birthdav ef our Saviour, it
is well that we should think and talk
of him. It is the memory of Christ,
once a babe and now a King, as a Sa
viour from sin and our forerunner into
the heavens, which robs the thought of
time's swift flight of its sting, and which,
to the believer, makes even life's end
most welcome.
Isaiah entered on the prophet ic office
about 750 years before the advent of
Christ. At that time be lived in Jeru
sol em. His utterances, so remarkable
for their great sublimity, were not all
predictions. Our modern popular u*e
of the term prophecy make* it refer al
most exclusively to the foretelling of
future events. That was not the orlgi
DO! meaning of the word. The prophet
was God's messenger of counsel,
coosolation. and rebuke, as well as pre
diction. But to Isaiah it was given to
farwtelt many events then in the dis
tance ; and especially some very remar
koble ones connected with the advent
and mission of Christ. There is so
much gospel in the book which bears
his name that be bos been called the
evangelical prophet.
One oueetion, likely to he suggested
by the lesson before as, relates to our
reasons for believing that the words re
fer to Christ. What are some of these
reasons? For one thing, we ore pre
pared to recognise such a reference hy
the frequency with which the Evange
lists end our Saviour refer to passages
in the prophetical books as fulfilled in
himself. "All this wo* done that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet," is language
with which everv Now Testament rea
der ia most familiar. Then, tbe*e word*
mast naturally apply to the Saviour :
they describe just such a person as the
Gospel* show him to he. Nor was there,
or is there, anv one else to whom they
oould apply. Moreover, the expression*
were not onlv fitted to excite in Jewish
mind* the idea of a Messiah, hut thev
actually did thia. They understood
them as pointing to such a perao>-age.
Down to the very advent of Christ, and
until controversy with Christian* drove
them from it, they accepted thia as the
only natural and true interpretation.
The reference to Christ is clear, end to
an unprejudiced mind it is conclusive.
A second point of interest relates to
ibe meaning of the expressions here
applied to the person referred to. Each
word has a great meaning in itsetr.
"When it i* aaid that hi* name should
be called, it doee not mean that be
should actually hear these names in real
life, hut that be should deserve them,
and that tbry would be descriptive of
bit character." First, "the gooornmeni
thouhl be upon hie thouldert ; that Is, he
should he s supreme ruler. Then, he
Bhoutd he Wonderful, or a wonder; a
person whose appearance and character
and life and deed* should excite sur
prise; and this, a* well as the claim of
authority and power, was remarkably
Illustrated in the case of the .Saviour
Bis supernatural birth, and sinless life,
and matchless words, and wireculou*
works, and agonising death, and resur
notion, and ascent to the heavens, are
fresh wonders at ill. He was to he s
CoomuUor f wise to instruct and guide,
an authoritative teacher, and truled
leader. And those who heard him
were constrained to confess, "Never
men spake like this man." More re
markable still, he would be the Mighty
God. and the Foerlaeting Father. Only to
Deity itself oould such egression*,
with any approach to propriety, be ap
applied. And ingenuity has not been
abb to show that tbey are not suletan
tially correct rendering* of the original
And, if the reference be toChrist, there
can be no need of desiring to show this.
The language is hold ; but Is not bolder
tfaau that of the New Testament; "The
Word KM with God, and the Woid i
God. "All thing* were made hy hiro
end it U this MMT- Word that "WM
made (le.b end dwelt among u." H
nhould lie noticed that the expression
Everlasting Father aiguille* an Eternal
Being who i the author and beatower
of tile. Much KM, and is, Christ. Pre
eminently be is thia. In hint wan life.
To believer* be gives the life eternal.
The title Prince of Peace indicate* the
method ol his victories, and the nature
of the blessing* he would bring. Un
like earthly kings, be would lake no
delight in conquests by blood, lie
would make pence between God and
man ; heal earthly strifes; and subdue
the passions and calm the fears of in
dividual soul*. It need not be said
that the prophet himself understood
the full Import of hi* own words. "The
mystery hidden from ages and from
generations" was fully solved, to the
very best instructed, only by the Sav
iour's actual advent.
A third point ol interest relates to
the purpose and benefits of his coming.
In other parts of Isaiah's prophecy the
Messiah IA represented as a man of
sorrows and acquainted with griefs, as
bruiwed for our iniquities, as giving his
soul nn ottering for sin, as our vicarious
Saviour. The gliin;>e we here get of
him is as a King. The government
shall he upon bis shoulder*. He *hsll
have all j>ower and authority. Of the
increase of bis government, ami of the
peace he should bring, there should he
no end. (lis kingdom should at length
become universal. It should be un
ending. It should be without turbu
lence or sorrow ; a kingdom of outward
and inward peace. It should be estab
lished, not by cruelty and blood, but
with judgment and justice. No charge
of wrong could ever be brought against
it. lis joy should he righteous and
true and pure and everlasting. And
all this is "established." God is inter
ested in its accomplishment. It cannot
fail. "The zeal of ibe Lord of hosts
will perform this."
I'EACTICAI. SL'OOESTIONS.
1. It was God who, in time past,
spake unto the fathers by the prophets;
no other supposition c*n account for
predictions so wonderfully fulfilled.
2. Our Saviour is our brother; he is
man like ourselves; be can be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities; to
him none need ever fear to go.
3. Our Saviour is our Maker; in the
beginning he was with God, and wst
God ; he is the author and supporter of
life; to him it is sale to go for pardon
and life eternal; he is 'mighty to save.'
4. Our Saviour is our King; wise,
powerful, just and good ; he expect*
his subjects to ol>ey him ; he also ex
peets them to he interested in expend
ing his accepted rule.
5. The kingd >m our Saviour came to
set up is sure to prevail; it is good to
be in it, and work for it; to lie inter
ested in it is to share the "seal of the
Lord.'' and to be at one with Christ.
6. To have received Christ as Saviour
and King is to be forever at peace.
For doing this, c*n any hope for a bet
ter time than now?
Civil Service Itrform.
The Civil Service Reform is again
up io Congress, on the bill offered hy
Senator Pendleton at the last session.
A discussion was had upon it lost
week in which Mevwrs. Pendleton,
Dawes and Hill participated. The
Put gives the following brief sketch
of the speeches :
Mr. Pendleton began by saying that
to fill the routine ecminixtrative office*
of the Government, the men best fitted
should he appointed to hold tbero until
men still belter fitted oould be selected
The manimity in admitting this truth
was only equaled hy the unanimity irt
disregarding it in action, these posi
tions being now only the rewards for
party service. The system had exten
ded all over the country, involved
laborer* on the streets a. well as mem
ber* of the Cabinet. Thit, rightfully
called the spoils system, wo* really the
assassin of President Garfield, as it
made even Presidents peddler* of offi
re*. It Was in order to supplant this
practice with the merit system, which
■ hall exact nothing from the officer
•ave the correct performance of his
duties. Vacancies should be fitted by
examination in which the fittest, irres
pective of personal influence or action.
• hoald prevail. Under this eyatem
there would he little scramble for office,
while it would open the field to those
who believe themselves best qualified to
assume the responsibility. It would
moderate the seal of party spirit and
leave the higher officers of the govern
ment to attend to their duties. It
would put an end to political assess
ments and the expenditure of immense
corruption fund* at elections. The
pivotal idea of the hill was that when
a promotion or new appointment was
hereafter to be made. It shall be given
to the most competent, the fact to he
ascertained by open, fair and pertinent
examination, so that a copying clerk
will not he questioned in astronomy, or
an accountant on constitutional law.
He appealed to Democratic Senator*,
who in time would represent a party in
power, to o frame the law that none of
these offices should he taken from the
holders except they were won by merit.
Patromtgn, however pleasant for the
moment, was a cures to any man or
P.iy.
Mr. Dawes, replying to certain critl
cisms, said he was opposed to that part
of the hill which provided for the estab
lishment of a Board of Kxstninera in
Washington, a sort of tmpennm ta impe
rio, with no prescribed tenure, to super
intend all appointments In the civil
service. He was in favor of legislation
of practical utility, and he aaserted that
the statute hook* for ten years had con
t.nned authority ample for the accom
pliahment of everything desired hy the
roost ardent reformer. His own oon
vlction was that the remedy for the
buse* in the civil service lay with the
and could onlv he applied by
them. He would like to see made
mandatory the system in vogue In the
New York cu*tom house and pottofflc*.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said that the
difficulty was not *o much in the law a*
in the fact that, whde everybody preach
cd, nobody preMioed It t and the people
did not seem to care about the matter.
While the country wan weeping over
ihtt traffic end of the tle Prp*i(lrnl, R
Frdersl Ju-iga (rrfcrrinff to Rivtu, of
Virginia,) "at soiling bis ermiu by
induing leltpr to but nuooeuor, wbo
had bcc(ru Prcaidßut by r*ttnon ol &
corrupt civil nervier-, (o hini
to oiaite appoint tu<*nU (or tli* pur|iOfi,<
in the choice language of that Judge,
"of cementing our oobli'ion and (lie
President, while (he mourning nob* of
(he people were echoing around him,
made the desired appointment, and,
perbapa with the tarns ink, wrote a
homily on civil service reform to be in
troduced into hi* meMfige to Congress.
The President had a right to assume
that everybody who talked about civil
service reform was merely playing with
Ihe people. He was himself removed
from ihe New York custom house for
making it a political, headquarters, and
yet won nominated for the second office
in the government, while the very men
who removed him took the stump for
his election. In 1877, every man, high
or low, black or white, connected with
the Returning Hoard frauds of 1876, ob
tained a reward from the Administra
tiou in office by reason of those fraud*.
The trouble was with the people, aa tbe
Senator from Maasacbusetu bad said,
and whenever they vivited their con
demnation upon the party which bad
degraded and debauched tbe civil ser
vice, the abuses would end.

appear* that he placed several "sticks"
of the giant power in the oven of tbe
cook stove while breakfast was being
prepared, which ignited and not only
Idowed the house into atoms, hut killed
outright four little children, 'he eldest
which was a girl of 12 years. They were
literally torn into unrecognisable tints
sea of human fleah. Mrs. Ingram, aa
well an tbe little onee killed, was blown
clear outside the bouse and badly br—i,
although she is still living aad oonaci
nun. Mr. Ingram was found in the eel
lar under the debris, considerably in
jured, but conscious. Tbe bouse waa
eiiuate about a ball mite from Mount
Union, but the shook of the explosion
was sensibly felt there. Thowe who
were present describe tbe aflwiraabeing
a horrible and sight. A filth
child was also badly injured, but hopes
are entertained ol iu recovery. It is
thought Mr. Ingram cannot recover.

their dearest friends aa beyond help,
