(Matt, 1:21.- The four Gospels are not four Dio- graphies of Christ. A biography is supposed to be a fairly complete story of a human life—and none of the Gospels attempts or intends to tell the whole story of our Lord's life on earth. It is important to understand this as we begin a six months' study of the Gospel of Mat­ thew. There are no contradictions be­ tween the four Gospels, but each one gives a view of our Lord that the others do not. “Taken together, they set forth, not a bioigraphy, but a personality.” It is of great sig­ nificance that, although Christ’s earthly life was of about thirty- three years, twenty-nine of these are left almost untouched in the Gospels. We are told of His birth and infancy, of a single incident when He was twelve years old, and then of the three and a half years of His public ministry at the end of His brief life on earth. The four gospels give us four different emphases, of* espects, of the person and work of Christ, and most Bible students agree as to these: Matthew presents Him as King. Mark presents Him as iServant. Luke presents Him as Man. John presents Him as God. Yet it is important to remember that Matthew’s King is also Servant, Man and God; and Mark’s Servant is also King, and Man and God; Luke’s Man is also King and Servant and God; and John’s Eternal Son is also King, and Servant and Man.” People sometimes ignorantly talk of the Old Testament as though it were of no special value to the Christian today, but an archaic, ob­ solete book, of interest only to anti­ quarians or historians. Those who mistakenly think this do not realize that it is impossible to understand the New Testament without the Old. In this first lesson in Matthew, for example, six different Old Testa­ ment prophecies are quoted as ful­ filled in the events Matthew records. The Nazi Government in Germany made a serious mistake when it de­ manded) of the German Protestant Church that the Old Testament and its heroes be relgated to oblivion, and replaced by German mythology. The whole world now knows of the immediate and successful protest made by the true Christians in Ger­ many. Matthew begins with the earthly genealogy of “Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” We must turn to the Old Testament to find who' David and Abraham were. As Dr. Schofield points out, this first verse at once connects Christ with two important Old Testament cov­ enants; the Davidic Covenant of Kingship, and the Abrahamic Cov- venant of Promise. ■God promised Abraham, “In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen 12:3) and this was possible only through Christ, the Son of God and the son of Abraham. God promised David: “I will set up thy seed after thee—and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” (2 ;Sam. 7:12,13) This was possible only through Jesus Christ Son of God and Son of David, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Old Testament is filled with Divine predictions of the coming in­ to this world, in Gold’s own name, of the Messiah of the Jews, and Mat­ thew shows that these Divine pre­ dictions were fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

CLATWORTHY Phone No. 12, GRANTON pel (John 20:i3)l) to read are written that we might know that Jesusi is the Messiah, the Saviour- King predicted in the Old Testament -—Emmanuel, God with us—and that receiving Him ye might enter into the Kingdom; rejected by His own, he will come again and’ take the throne of His Father, David.” After the genealogy, Matthew re­ lates, clearly, simply, but inescapab­ ly, the wonderful fact of the virgin birth of Christ. It is told with rare dignity and beautiful delicacy as one would' expect in the God- breathed words of Scripture. Mary was given the unique honor of be­ coming the human mother of Jesus; but her hueband, Joseph, was not the father of Jesus—God was His Father. And this fulfills, Matthew tells us, a prophecy in Ieaiah (7:14) that a virgin should bring forth a son whose name should be Em­ manuel which means “Godi with us” The meaning of the human name Jesus is very beautiful; it is the same name as the Old Testament Joshua and means saviour: “He shall save His people from their sins.” In the second chapter we are told of the Wise Men coming from the East to Jerusalem, led ny a star, which they believed indicated the birth of the King of the Jews. By Old Testament prophecy they found that Bethlehem must be the place of this birth; they were led again by the same star, and found “the young Child with Mary, His mother, and fell down and worshipped Him,” and brought their gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.” They had gone first to Herod the King, who pretended that he wanted to worship the young child when they found Him, and who asked them to report where the child could be found. But God warned the Wise Men against this, as Herod hoped to murder this heir to the throne, and the Wise Men “departed into their own country another way.” This was but the first of many plots or attacks upon the life of Christ, but none of them could suc­ ceed until God’s time came for Him to die as the sinner’s Substitute and Saviour. Joseph and Mary were divinely directed to flee into Egypt, and keep the Babe Jesus safe there until Herod’s death, which they did. Then Herod, enraged, attempted to carry out his murderous plot by slaying all the children under two' years of age in and about Bethlehem—and this fulfilled another Old Testament prophecy.

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS BEST IN 4 YEARS CANADA REPORTS Canadians Regain Confidence In Fu­ ture and Holiday Spending Turn­ ing Point For Manufacturers and Merchants. A Canadian Press despatch from Toronto says: Christmas is over. The parcels are untied. The tree still stands. It awaits New Years*. Then it, too, will be discarded. But to thousands of Canadian merchants and manufacturers Christmas, 1933, will not for be forgotten. It marked the turning point for them. From all sides, from every city and town and village, came the en­ couraging news that Christmas 1913'3 was the 'best in years ror business. Automobile manufacturers, furiture manufacturers, radio manufacturers are unanimous in their shout of ‘big­ ger and better.” One five-and-ten cent store in Toronto reported! busi­ ness on December 23, the Saturday before Christmas, was’ ?l,i000 better than the same day last year. And it takes a lot of buying in that type of sore to raise the receipts $1,000. More people were employed in Canada in December than in any month of the past two years. Usual­ ly, of course, there is a seasonal de­ cline in employment at this- time of year. The decline did not material­ ize in 1933. There was a different atmosphere about Christmas 1933. More people in stores and on the streets. More buying. More money. More food. More clothing. More toys. More dec­ orations. More of the articles which make Christmas1. Canada it seemed, had decided to “take a chance” on further improve­ ment. Those people who had feared to spend money lest they be short in an emergency, such as loss of work apparently have regained confidence. It was a glorious Christmas.

Out Face and Arms Miss Mary Ens, Hague, Sask., writes:—“My blood was in a terrible condition and my face and arms broke out with eczema. I started using blood cleansers of various kinds, but it was of no avail. One day I read about Burdock Blood Bitters, but being so dis­ couraged, because all other methods had failed, I was rather skeptical about trying it, but after having taken six bottles I was perfectly satisfied as my skin was left clean and healthy looking.”
