But about this same man, who was to be so brutally treated, we read al­ so: “He shall be exalted and extoll­ ed, and be very high.” This pro­ phecy is fulfilled in 1’hillippians 2:9, which tells us, after describing the death of the cross, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name, which is above every name.” , , The prophecy that because o’f this nations should see what they Iliad never seen before, and consider what tiny had never before heard, and resurrection of Christ missionary journeys of tlio Paul, as we read in Romans Isaiah 53 is one of the chapters in the entire Bible on the substitutionary blood atonement made for the sins of men by Christ taking the sinner's place, Only God could have conceived, purposed, planned and carried through such a method for the salvation of lost sin­ ners. There is nothing else like it in the other literature or religions of the entire world. It is so extraor- dinary that some have never believ­ ed it and do not believe it today. “Who hath believed our '•report?” The chapter goes on to describe this coming Man and Messiah as a person contrary to all the ideas of men; lacking popularity and natural attractiveness; despised and rejected of mon; bearing griefs and carrying sorrows that belonged to others; not only despised by men but stricken and smitten of God. All this was for our transgressions, our iniquities. He suffered the anger of God that we might have peace with God. He was torn and bleeding that we might be healed. We did the sinning; lie bore t-he iniquity of us all. Outraged by such injustice as no mere human being has ever known, i He said not a word in His own fense. “Brought as -a lamb to ■ slaughter,.' and as a sheep before : shearers is dumb, so He openeth ) His mouth.” !

Golden With His stripes (Isaiah 53:5.) remarkable experiences a certain in- dividual was to have lu re on this earth about the year 267'). Suppose that little book carefully preserved during the next seven centuries, and those living A.D. 2670 should find that it did describe, with infallible accuracy, the appearance and exper­ iences of a certain individual living then. This sounds impossible, does it not? But it is what the prophet Isaiah did. In This week’s lesson we have his account of the appear­ ance and experiences of a man nam­ ed Jesus of Nazareth, who was not born until seven centuries after Isa­ iah wrote this lesson. No uninspir­ ed historian or prophet could do this. Yet not only Isaiah, but many other “holy men of God spake as they wore moved by the Holy Ghost,” setting down in great detail events that were not to occur for hundreds or thou­ sands of years after they wrote; and their prophecies were fulfilled with microscopic accuracy to the letter. Some of these prophecies are yet to < be fulfilled. If the teacher introduces the les­ son in class in some such way as this the class can then have an interest­ ing time by going through the les­ son verse by vei’se and jotting down every prophecy that was fulfilled in the life and death of Christ. The liberal rendering of Isaiah 52:14, we are told, has this terrible meaning: “So marred from the form of man was His aspect that His ap­ pearance was, not that of a son of man”—that is, not human; and the brutalities wreaked on the person of Christ are described in Matthew 26 by t he Apostles 15:21. greatest firings; instead deliberately and intentionally let Him endure, it all and actually go down to death. Not only did God permit thin, but “it pleased the Lord to bruise Him.” This is a startling word; what docs it mean? He knew that this unspeakable sac­ rifice was going to save from sin and the second death or hell vast num­ bers of sinners who Irave to be lost. The chapter ends joy. Resurrection “When thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed (His spiritual offspring), He shall prolong His days, and the plea­ sure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He! ’shall see. of the travail of His soul, and shall bo satisfied.” Men may protest as much as they please about the “immortality” of a substitutionary atonement; it is here in inescapably plain language, and it runs through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The “offence of the cross” (Gal. 5:11) is -here, at which so many f tumble, but by which alone can any man he saved. Justification by faith, not by good work:-?, is hero: “By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant jutify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.” Here are a few more of the pro­ phecies in this chapter that are filled in Verse 30, 31.

Verse Peter 2 1 Mrs. William Beavers Celebrates 89th Birthday Any Weather-For Every Day Seldom is it the lot of any person to celebrate their 89th birthday with all their faculties unimpared and in reasonable health. Snell was the lot of Mrs. William Beavers last Friday, April 19th. )Mrs. Beavers lives on lot, 16, concession 4, township of Blansliard, the same farm to which she came as a bride in the year 1865. Her husband, William Beavers, died in November 1910. Mrs. J. A. Kirkby St. Marys is the oldest child; Joseph M„ who lives on lot 16, concession 5 Township of Blansliard is the next, oldest; George S., who lives with the mother the next and B. W. F. of Ex­ eter the youngest. -All were, with the mother to celebrate this birthday also Mrs. Geo. Hookway a neiee. Many were'the congratulations re­ ceived from neighbors and friends. The history of the ancestors of Mrs. Beavers, whose maiden name was Louisa Senn, is quite unique. Her father’s mother was stolen by the Indians when she was a girl five years old. She, along with a young­ er brother and aunt were in a bush making maple syrup in the state of Pennsylvania when they were taken by a band-of Indians, who were pass­ ing that way. The aunt was elderly and not being able to keep up in the march with the Indians was done away with the second day of captiv­ ity. After she was gone there was no one to look after the little boy, so the third day he was murdered. But the girl’became a favorite of the Chief and was given favors and was well looked after until she became twelve years of age when she was ransomed by a German gentleman with whom she lived until she mar­ ried Mrs. Beavers grandfather Jd: seph Senn, who was a Swiss s: weaver. Mrs. Beavers grandfather on her mother’s side was Captain Keeley, who lived in Dublin, Ireland. Many were the hardships under­ gone by the pioneer settlers of this land. The nearest neighbors to tv. Beavers’s parents w'hen they first settled in Blansliard in 1S46 were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Irvinet who wore the first settlers in that part of Blansliard. They gave the Beavers a hearty welcome on their arrival and were always the truest friends. Geo. Beavers B.A., of Vancouver, now 86 years old, the youngest of the Beaver boys on visiting his old homo here in August 1915 met Mrs. Irvine and asked her if she remem­ bered the first time she saw him, “Yes, that I do” she said, “you in your father’s wagon with your mother, a little boy about a year old; and I. was standing by the road­ side with my Henry in iny arms, a baby about three months old.” This ■ George Beavers afterward graduated from Victoria College in the year 1874 when it* was'at-Co- bolirgr. Last summer he ^ent his great nephew Geo. E. Beavers, who. is now in his third year at Victoria College, Toronto, tfle .leather bound book which was given' him for pass­ ing the highest in his graduating year in Hebrew. Mrs. ileavers lias always enjoyed good health; has been a constant worker in .the church at Salem and was always ready to lend a hand when the need arose. The sunset of life is golden for her. >Made by The Canadian!
