NEW DELIVERER - FROM OLD ILLS "Unto Us a Son Is Given" Text of Sunday School Lesson Tlie International Sunday School I>osson for December 24 is "Unto j Us a Son Is Given."—lsa. 9:2-7. (By William T. Ellis) It was in late January when my j blizzard-belated kelek, or goat-skin j raft, reached ancient Asshur, on the Tigris River, the one-time capitol of i Assyria. Still the dining table of the j genial German archaeologists was j adorned with a Christmas tree, in a j land where no Christmas greens grow.; There was something pathetic as well: as beautiful about that touch of home 1 and childhood memories, the little tree that was as a bridge stretching between the Tigris and the Rhine.' During that visit I saw the steles and other monuments of the oldest As syrian monarchies, and heard read the boastful inscriptions of the kings who reigned thousands of years ago. j Nevertheless, the wee, dried Christ-1 n-.as tree represented a greater and < more significant sovereignty. Two rulers and deliverers that are [ as one are symbolized by all the far- i flung preparations that are being made ' for the keeping of Christmas at this | present moment the child and the Christ who was Himself a child. Be- I cause of the peculiar conditions of the \ nations to-day, the study of this an - | cient fragment of Hebrew literature i takes on a new pertinency. Now, as during the dark days of which Isaiah wrote, our gleam of promise Is in the ; picture of a child. Seven centuries j before tho birth of the Bethlehem! Babe these words were written: "For unto us a child is born, unto i us a son is given; and the govern- ; ment shall be upon his shoulder: and j his name shall be called Wonderful, | Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting i Father, Prince of Peace. Of the in- | crease of his government and of; peace there shall be no end, upon the! throne of David, and upon his king- I dom, to establish it, and to uphold it j with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever." Fresh Water For Stale One o fthe sad sights of a great j city is the group of jaded elderly men to be seen loafing inside the plate glass windows of fashionable clubs. They are more to be pitied than the ragged children playing in the streets, or the grimy toilers hastening to humble homes and the welcoming voices of their families. For these poor clubmen are there because they have nowhere else to go, and noth ing to do. Most of them have money, but little else. Simple home joys, and the touch of baby hands, is not for them. They represent the world grown weary of itself. Not with them , Is the hope of the coming day. Children are the real deliverers. ! They are the fresh springs that > cleanse life's old pools. Existence j would grow stale and intolerable with- 1 out the bubbling newness and vitality! of childhood. Fresh from God. and | free, the little ones come to do the! great tasks of restoration. We have to look to tho young fori our deliverances, for the old are not I free. The silken cords of convention j and relationship and association have bound us as by steel cables. That Is why the world has known so few elderly reformers. Tradition and uso i and personal ties palsy the hand that would hold the sword of new service Every person interested in social pro gress understands this full well. "Society" has slain more crusaders , yj. Saracens. A man cannot be in society" and at the same time free to smite its sins. So the unfet tered. untrammeled, unconventional lzed youth must go forth to slay the dragons. hen God planned a mak ing over of the world. He sent a Babe to be its Redeemer. A myriad of poets have struck their lyres to the music of "Unto Us a Child Is Born." Harriet Prescott SpofTord wrote thus a few years ago. in the Christian En deavor World: "All over this wid earth to-dav The little Christ-Child leads the way \\ ith tender feet that leave their print On crusted snow and shard and flint; FOR RHEUMATIC PAINS AND COLDS IN CHEST Gingerole Best For Pleurisy, Ton silitis and Bronchitis Cures coughs, chest colds and sore tlnoat over night without stomach drugging.

Straight up to heaven's high gate He goes. "His lovely hands, in blessings spread. Drop largesse on each bending head; A clear light shines on every face That paints again His passing grace; His aureole of sun and dew Lends all the air Its glory, too. "Strange and bright birth of skyey flame, Though centuries ago it came. Yet In each heart, or near or far. Where faith and love and pity are. The Christ-Child with His joyous sway Is born again on Christmas Day." Beginnings and the Babes As of old the prophet exulted over the birth of a son, so our time is ap praising with a new sense of value the child in our midst. All the superb ducatlonal equipment of the twentieth century, all the transforming legis lation for child-welfare, all the vast contributions of medicine and hygiene to the health of childhood, are" born of the Christmas spirit. Modern econ omics and philosophy are beginning with the babe. Stupidly, society for a time re garded the large family of children, especially when the parents were poor, as a sort of burden on the community. So tar had we got away from the Old Testament Ideal of life. Not a few wealthy and childless persons have grumbled at school taxes. BuJ. a bet ter day has dawned. Now we meas ure a community by its attitude to ward the children. A city without adequate parks and playgrounds is disgraced. Poor schools are a civic reproach. James Oppenheim voices the thought of the newing infancy: "\ou may be Christ or Shakespeare, little child, A savior or a sun to the lost world. 1 here is no babe born but may carry furled Strength to make bloom the world's disastrous wild. Oh, what then must our labors be to mold you, To open the heart, to build with dream the brain. To strengthen the young soul in toil and pain. Till our age-aching hands no longer hold you. "Vision far-dreamed! But soft. If your last goal Be low, if you are only common clay, What then? Toil lost? Were our toil trebled, nay! lou ate a soul, you are a human soul, A greater than the skies ten-tril lion starred— Shakespeare no greater, O you slip of God!" A Son as Sueeess One of many messages that Christ mas has for our ever-wise time is that a son is success. Mary is the world's greatest woman, because of her Son Nowadays we ask that a man make money or get his name into "Who's who or figure in the newspapers, if he is to be called a success. Whereas the truth, which is older than Christ mas, older than Isaiah's inspired words, is that whoso has handed on the torch of life to the next genera tion, and whose* name has been kept as clean and bright as the flame, is a success of th with pride That you've begotten those six lim ber bodies. Firm flesh, and supple sinew, and lithe limb- Six nimble lads, each like young Absalom, With red blood running lively in his veins, Bone of your bone, your very flesh and blood? It's you don't understand: God, what I'd give This moment to be you, just as you are. Preposterous pantaloons, and purple cats, And painted leer, and crimson curls, and all.
