He had the infinite privilege of tak- ing the Divine Babe in his avow then he blessed God and uttered by Inspiration a prayer, an adoration,. and a propheeY, that were tilled with meaning 'beyond that which lio coulll understand.

There striking commentary on this in the Inspired recoreof the Indian ehildhood of the on of 'God. As He wasgrowing up- in His teens He "was 'subject to" Mary His mother -and Joseph her husband.

The .Old strestament .pa.shage tells us thatShe- fore the Levites could perform the ••aervice of the Tabernacle they must, :after clothing the body Were cere- monially cleansed, be uttered or pre- 'eented to the Lord Then only could -they serve God. In the lessou chap- ter the Babe Jesus, before He could titan on the service of His earthly lifetime, had to be presented to the Lord. And, to every believer comes the cell "that ye present your bodies ta living sacrifice." Only then. can r Christians ,render their.

How could Simeon be sure of •dy- ing in peace?. His eyes had seen "Thy salvation." God's salvation is provided only in a Person, whois the Saviour. Simeon had his +salva- tion because he bad seen his Savior, We have our salvation the moment we see Christ by faith as our Savior, This salvation was not limited. to 'Simeon, or even .to Christ's own people, the Jews, but God had pre- pared and provided it ."before the face of all people." It is for "who- soever Christ, who is, the light 'of the world and the gory of God,. brings light td the Gentiles, while He is pe- culiarly the glory of Israel. A study of the Scriptures concerning Israel shows this. Simeon's further Words carried. In- fallible prediction's about Christ's mission, and ihould be studied.
