Lesson

Teacher of English Bible In the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper
Union.)
LESSON FOR DECEMBER 22
THE BIRTH OF JESUS.
LE8SON TEXT Luke 2:8-20.
GOLDEN TEXT For unto you la born
this day In the city of David a 6a v lor
who Is Christ the Lord.-Luke 2:11.
Note: Since the lesson committee
has suggested the birth of Jesus, a
Chrlstmus lesson, ns an alternative for
this day, doubtless for most classes It
will be desirable to use tho Christmas
lesson and substitute the alternative
lesson for the review on December 20.
The birth of the Saviour occurred at
a most propitious time. The need wns
great, for tho systems of morals and
religion were tottering upon their
foundations. It was also u tlmo of
great opportunity, for tho wholo world
was under one rule, making It posslblo
for evangelists tp go from city to city
and country to country without fear
or molestation. The place of his birth
was Rethleheiii, as tho prophet had
foretold somo seven hundred years be
foro (Mloill 0:2). God permitted tho
emperor to enforce a decree of taxation
Just at the tlmo to cause Mnry to be
nt Itethleliem when sho gave birth to
(he Saviour. That which the Word of
God has announced shall most surely
come to pass, though Its fulfillment
seem most unlikely and unreason
able. The surroundings of his birth
were the most humble sort. The Al
mighty Creator condescended to take
upon himself humanity to be born In
a manger, becoming the poorest of the
poor that none might be hindered
from coming to him.
I. The Saviour's Birth Announced
(2:8-14).
1. To Whom Shepherds (v. 8). In
the first ChrlstmiM service the audi
ence wns composed of humble shep
herds. The glorious gospel message
wns first sounded forth to these hum
bio men while watching over their
(locks by night. Poverty Is no barrier
to (he reception of tho gospel message.
God does not reveal himself mainly to
the princes and great men of tho earth.
"Hath not God chosen tho poor of this
world, rich In faith nnd heirs of tho
kingdom?" (James 2:5). Neither did
their devotion to their calling exclude
them from this greatest favor of God.
Moses, Gideon, Amos and Kllshu were
called by the Lord from the busy ac
tivities of life. He never calls the
Idle. The Lord has no use for n lazy
man. The working man is God's pe
culiar Interest.
2. Ry Whom The Angel of the Lord
(v. D). Tho first gospel sermon wns
delivered by the angel of the Lord.
Angels, (he exulted ministers of God
arc Interested in men (Hebrews 1:11),
nnd this one announced unto men
God's plan of salvation. These beings
no tluuht sincerely sympathized with
poor, sin-cursed, fallen men.
3. The Message Good Tidings (v.
10). (1) A Saviour Is born. Surely
this was a gladsome message. Heath
en darkness which had so long cursed
tho earth was beginning to vnnlsh.
The casting out of Satan, the prince
of tho world, was about to take place
(John 12:31). Liberty was about to
be proclaimed to those In bondage to
sin. The way of salvation was about
to be opened to nil. So glorious was
this news . 'nit n multitude of the heav
enly host iwcompnnlod this announce
ment with their snug of praise. It Is
through Jesus Christ that God's kind
ness and good will uro mude known to
man. (2) Pence (v. 14). Pence with
God peace of heart peace with man.
How Incongruous this message with
our time I The world wnr was tho re
sult of not receiving this blessed mes
sage. (3) Joy (v. 10). The gospel
message Is n Joyful message because It
frees from sin nnd removes all tho
burdens of (his world.
II. The Shepherds Make Investiga
tion (2:15, 1C).
Though these things seemed pass-
J Ing strange to them Uiey did not stop
to question or argue; they went
straight to Rethleheiii and found
everything Just as tho angels had said.
They had the glorious privilege of
gazing upon the world's Saviour tho
very Lord of glory.
III. The Shepherds Witnessing (2:
17).
When they saw the Lord they could
not remain silent. They were Im
pelled to make known abroad tho good
news. Those who have heard the good
news of salvation through Christ nnd
have verified It by personal Investiga
tion must tell It to others. The angels
said that the good tidings of great Joy
should be to all people (v. 10). The
gospel of Christ Is for till people re
gardless of nationality or condition.
It. Is Just ns really good news to the
king ns to the peasant. It fills the
hearts of all with Joy.
IV. The Shepherds Praising God
(2:18-20).
The testimony of tho shepherds hud
a varying effect some wondered, and
others kept the sayings and pondered
them, hut the shepherds wont back
glorifying nnd praising God for nil
they had seen and heard. Those who
have believed (ho gospel message nnd
proclaimed It abroad have a peculiar
Joy which must express Itself In
praises to God.
Evidence of Christianity.
Tho best evidence of Christianity Is
the life of the Master brought down
to date. As Jesus was the Incarnn
tlon of tho Father, wo must Incar
nate tho mind and splrlth which were
In him. A man who had greatly
wronged nnother was freely fort'lven.
As ho clasped the reconciled hand of
the mnn he had sorely Injured he said,
with entire sincerity, "Now I know
that Jesus lives!"

Imnglne a slave-trader writing
bymn like this:
Quiet, l.ord, my forward heart,
Make mo teachable and mild;
Upright, simple, free from art,

"from the power
of Satan unto God," It was this sweet
singer of tho Christian church. Some
one else had taken possession of John
Newton's personality; had softened,
sweetei ed and molded It Into his own
likeness and Image, and that one wn
Christ.
The transforming power of life lias
been utilized to Illustrate the manner
In which the Lord of Glory transforms
humanity Into his own likeness. Tht
figure used Is that of the human body,
amazingly Intrlcnte In Its makeup, yet,
In nil Its variety, a wonderful unity. A
living personality dominates Its every
part, causing every utom of mntter to
pulsate with Its own life. Every atom
of this body of mine once lay dead In
the senseless clods of the earth, a
highway for worms. Now, they are
mine, nnd they have passed from death
unto life. Ry the power of this life
present Within me, they have been
transformed Into living tissue, formed
Into myriad cells, assembled nnd ar
ranged to suit my particular needs, the
whole becoming my
Soul Revealer.
The Foul Is sometimes Kpoken of as
"Imprisoned in u tenement of clay,"
but Is this true? The body does not
shut In and conceal the mml, but Just
the contrary. It Is the great roul re
vealer. Indeed, so far as we have any
experience, It Is the ooul's only re
vealer. We can know nothing about
each other save us wo reveal ourselves
through the acts of the body. Our
characters are written plainly ncross
our faces so that even "he who runs
may read."
The sublime truth which the New
Testament teaches us.ls that the Spirit
of the Infinite God lays hold upon us
who are dead In trespasses and sins
and takes up his dwelling In the hum
blest believer In Christ. Through
llieso believers, In whatever place or
time, the Spirit of Christ reveals him
self to the world. Gml has many ways
of revealing himself, but In the moral
world only one, and that Is through
mortil agents submitted to his loving
control. Does the world see In me any
thing to suggest the character of
Christ? Is the world led to sense the
presence of the Master In my conduct
of business affairs? Io my compan
ions In the home who know me most
Intimately, appreciate the control of
this divine life? Rut to be u true re
vealer, the body must bo
The Bond Servant.
The body Is not only the revealer,
but also the servant of the tuml, and
Just so far as ltserves.lt reveals. With
one sovereign will controlling every
part of my body, every member alive
und alert to obey, I urn enabled to do
my work in (lie world with delight
nnd ease. Rut If any member refuses
to obey, what hindrance and loss re
sult! And has our master no object to nt
tain? What must be the yearning of
his great heart to bind up the world's
iruel wounds in this crisis, nnd how
ran ho perform this ministry of heal
!ng except through tho yielded obedi
ence of the members of bis body? God
grant us the will to surrender to him.
nd that habit of alacrity In our obedi
ence Unit delights to do his will. This

this. "Ho that dootli the will of God

Temperdnce
(Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)
HOW ALCOHOL ENSLAVES.
"Why should the drinking of alco
holic beverages be habit-forming and
not the drinking of soda or milk?
What, If anything, makes nlcohol dif
ferent than any other substance In
this respect?"
In a recent number of American
Medicine, Dr. Carl Scheffel of Roston
presents these questions. He an
swers them thus:
"In the formation of the drlnk-hnblt
the snmo mental factors play an Im
portant role as In the formation ot
any other habit, but In the addiction
to alcohol these normal psychological
factors are tremendously Influenced
by the toxic action of alcohol Itself, In
that It narcotizes certain brain struc
tures and Interferes with their nor
mal functions In a very definite man
ner. . . . Under these clrcum
stances the mind can no longer be
considered ns sound, for the controll
ing Ideas nre no longer uble to Inhibit
opposite Ideas and there Is great dan
ger of chance Intrusions entering con
sciousness to the detriment of the In
dividual. "In drunkenness the person's field
of consciousness has been greatly di
minished by the toxic action of alco
hol, and In hypnotism the same mental
state has been produced by the sug
gestions of the operator. In drunk
enness the subject Is controlled by the
sight, smell, taste, and desire for al
cohol, Just as the hypnotized subject
Is controlled by tho verbal or written
suggestions of tho operator. . . .
"The Intemperate man finds In alco
hol n desire und temptation that he
cannot overcome alone and unaided.
Once alcohol hns become master ot
the personality, the threshold stimulus
required for Its subsequent Indulgence
has become greatly lowered, and ns
repeated actions have accumulative In
fluence, a man may easily become a
chronic alcoholic."
DRINKING WINE.
"'You must drink wine In I'rance'
Is an injunction that enjoins," says As
sociation Men, organ of the Young
Men's Christian association. "There
Is little dilliculty and less expense In
getting water that Is pure or can be
made safe by boiling or Altering, and
that Is cheaper and safer than the
plain red wine of the country.' Kvery
American enmp has Its properly pro
tected water supply. Oim of the most
pernicious hallucinations that has ever
(truck men going over to France Is
that tbey must change their habits,
their principles and their v.ny of think
ing, when they reach continental F.u
rope. No man will be handicapped by
puritanical habits. Our men who have
been In France for months come back
robust and strong who have never
touched wine. Itishop Mi-Council ami
others declare that this talk about the
necessity of drinking wine Is all tom
my rot. When a man breaks from the
settled habits of bis lifetime, drops
the standards that he has stood by,
whether It Is wine drinking, cigarette
smoking, clean speech or stern stand
ards, he loses bis grip on other men
ns well ns himself. No man can put
on religion ns ho puts on n chink In
France. It hns got to be tho genuine
thing or It Is soon discovered and de
spised. The strain of the work and
the temptations of the nuuntry over
come him and to which more than
one man has fallen," says Association
Men, organ of tho Young Ven's Chris
tian association.
BOOZE INSTEAD OF BREAD.
The New York Tribune gives the fol
lowing figures showing the amount of
food sacrificed to drink during one
year :
Four million people could have been
supplied with rye bread for 100 days.
Fifty-six million people could have
been supplied with cornnieal for 100

Sixteen million people could have

One hundred million people could

"The ninteiial ruin of tens of thou

this universal fact, not fanaticism, that
has caused a tidal wave of prohibition
to roll over the land."
