Two hours and ten minutes after fts| occurrence Joseph Lee, of the Shropshire Regiment of foot, rode in upon the Cawn- pur massacre, He was the first man I mat at Cawnpur.

Wherever Jesus i# not known it is cer. tainly darkness and ofttimes “deep dark- ness,’ asthe exprission, “shadow of death.” is transiated in the margin of the BR, V, both hare and in Ps, xxiil,, 4, and elsewhere This darkness can only be driven away from an individual, or a nation or a land as the world, Is revealed, slved Jesus enn say, “God, who commanded the | ight to shine out of darkness, hath shinsad | In our hearts to give the Hight of the knowl- edge of tha glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (II Cor. fv., 6).

Jesus said to His disciples, “Yo are the light of ths world" (Math, v., 14), We know that wa have no Heht in ourseives any more than the moon, which appears to be a ruin of nature, as man is, But if the sun shining upon the moon oan give us light then may imagine how the Lo t shine for Him if we w flect His lHght and give Alter we have shone for Him a little and He has gathered out His church, then in the midst of gross covering the people the Lord shall arisen Israel, and His glory she and the nations shall and kings to the brightness of (Isa, Ix., 1-8). 8. “Thou hast multiplied the not increased the joy.

The Christmas lesson which only looks back to His coming ag a babe in Bethlehem teaches only half the story. Theres was no government on earth given to Him at His first coming. Ti Him a stable for His birthpace, a manger for His eradie not where to lay His head during His life, a cross and a grave with the wicked for His reward. But God mised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, and when He shall come again In that glory then shall He be soen to be the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, He was in- dead wonderful in His humiliation, in Hia love and patienocs and faithfulness unto death, but it shall be seen yet more fully that His name is Wonderful (Judg. xiii, 18, margin). 7. “Of the increase of His govornment and tha of of int and nd na 0 th mew he of oy gave peace there shall be no end upon the throne | of David and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with peal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this.” It is a tearful perversion © speak of Jesus being now on David'sthrone, | as if David ever had a throne in heaven, David reigned seven years at Hebron and 38 re in Jerusalem, and Jesus is to sit om | | mackerel for a while avid's throne at Jerusalem and reign over the house of Jacob, according to the simplest meaning of plain words, as in Jer, HL, 17, Luke 81, 82, 33, ote, Lesson Helper. - ————— Gotham's I"arcel "ost System.
