One morning Columbus noticed a golden bough with ,searcely 'faded leaves floating in the wave; on the bough a strange bird had alighted to rest its , wings. In that' hour Hope's pluxne,ge took on a golden' hue. When Colurabus landed and gave' to the world his new continent, when he sailed homeward to receive the idolatry of the people and the wel- come of kings and -adulation worthy a god, lie carried with him the con- sciousness that the faculty that had saved lam and made Him equal to his task was the faculty of hope. Planting his thoughts and words like seeds, man must wait for his harvest, and Hope helps him. Daily It is las staff and sapport. Ineeed without this joy -producing faculty, man -could not lie -e. At first child- hood is saved by hope of coming youth. In the youth the boy, con- scious of kas rawness and immatur- ity, Is saved by hope, of a coining mature development; in °hi age, when the man sits upon the western piaz- za anci waits for the sunset signal and realizes that his life is now all bellindohim, he is saved by hope that his plans that are rooted on earth will ripen ancl .wave their -fruit in ae-en. Not one other quality is so practi- cal. Hope does more for field, fac- tory and office and library, than any other gift of grace. Ambition plants the seed, faith waters it, work tills the soil, but Hope points to • THE COMING HARVEST. Look at these new immigrants, come to drudge in street aierl mixee, it is hope that g-uides the boy set- ting forth to make his fortune; it is hope that arms the boys who come' to the -city to make their -foie tunes, with weaponenfor their battle and victory. .HoPe, is a refugee frorn,life'i fierce heat; it is Ft.:hospital for hurt hearts:• it is a shield for defense; it has , whites to ziplift; it is also the star toward which man journetts, Great iS the power of- work, of cour- age and persistence, but it is hope Oat nourishes, invigorates and sus- tains the other faculties. Hope de- livers the great ,and small out of diseouragenaent. All good work in- volves time; that is a poor harvest that represents the sowing of yester- day and a reaping next week. Here is the parent sowing the good seed of wisdom for the child. But apparently all is in vain. it is os -if the handfuls of grain, had been sown in ihe 'watery fuerowe' of the sea. 'Teaching and example fail. Little by 'little the boy breaks away.One by one the home ties are severed. One by one tho tentiments of fidelity to the family weaken and the threads part. The child wanders away and disappears. Life holds no sadder hour for THE PARENT ANL) TEACHER. Then Hope conies in and saves. It whispers : "Come soon or come late, the hour will wine when the child will return to the faith and life of its father"; that "train up a chine in the. way he should go and when he is old, perhaps here', perhaps there, he will not depart from it"; that the earth itself is a large spool and the father's love is a goldea thread wound around it, and, though the youth go everywhere in his wan- derings, at last .the word of love will draw him back.to scenes and paths long forgotten. And when time has passed Hope is vindicated. Perchance some youth to -day will read these words and be reminded of his father on the farm, to whom he has not written for months or years, or his mother, to whom he has been unfaithful. This very afternoon he will write home, and the hand that will guide the page and pour a flood of happiness into his heart will be the hand of Hope. Do not delay, young man!

The phra- • seology of the enema Orient would be to our ears extravagant. A kiug who was ordinarily saluted, 0 king, live forever," might well be spoken of as the father of eternity. But, while there is a local and temporary application of this prophecy, it awaited its perfect fulfillment in the coming of the Messiah. So the Jews 0 believed throughout the dark cen- 1 turies of strain which followed. So the rabbis taught; and when Jesus came his raptured followers discov- erl in his character and teachings the perfect fulfillment of these words, OT the increase of his government and ("of") peacei there shall be no end, upon the throne of -David, and upon his kingdom. In spite of the wars which rend the world to -day, in spite of the fact that tho history, of Chris- tendom is a history of bloodshed, those who really understand the mind of the Saviour can recognise the fulfillment of thie. His work is to order it ("to establish it"). and to establish it ("to uphold it") with jungment and with justice ("w i th justice and with righteousness") from henceforth even forever.

Lesson XIII. •"The Prince of Peace." Golden Text, Isa. IX., 6. Verse 1 Nevertheless. "But."

The Au- thorized Version has failed entirely ill giving the meaning. The Revision ellould be closely followed. The two tribes here mentioned lay north and northeast of Mount Carmel, and the territories taken together correspond- ed with a large part of what was afterward called Galilee. It was this part of the country which' had been earliest depopulated by the As- syrian conquerors under Tiglath.pile- • ser (2 Kings 15. 29). By this in- vasion it leas been to the prophetic mind brought into contempt.. And afterward did more grievously alllicit her ("But in the latter time hath he made it glorious") by the way of the sea, beyond ("the") Jordan in Gall- ica of the nations. Or, we indght read, "in the district of the Gen- tiles," for the Hebrew word means circuit or district, and tlie word translated "nations" means foreign- ers. Observe that this clause, like the first, is entirely changed in ite meaning by the Revision-. no pro- pheey is that the coming prosperity of Zebulni (Galilee) Shall be do, great as to cause the people to extend *ben origirial borders westward by the way of the sea, eastetrard across the river. That this proiniee con- tained a spiritual 'and Messianic meaning is aseerted by the mere fact of the choice of this. passage for our Christmas lessoh. That it Ras liter- ), ally fulfilled in the days of Josue i` and for tWo or three centuries before his time has been ,, made abundantly evident by modern re.eearclies in i ancient documents (see OSPeCianY DT, Merrilre Galilee).

The people tbat walked in dark- ness have seen a great light; they that dwell ("elwelt") in the land of the shadow of death. We are treat- ing Isaiah much worse than we would treat Shanespeare or Browning, if we talk to our clamsee about this 1, erse without close reference to verses 21 and 22 of tleis last chapter. It is the People who aro there 'described in a soirowful forced march through the midnignt upon whom hath tlie light hined. 1. There is little •reason to oubt that the security and • moral form broaight to these people by secli virtuous kings as Hezelcian and Josiah were reeognized as tho 'ado- quete fulfillment of this prophecy. 2. When, centuries later, those who re- turned from the captivity ropeOpled Palentine, erected a synagogue in every town, made the word of God the man of their counsel, and, in Spite of much evil and wars and vio- lence and the prevaienee of a hollow formality, prosperea greatly in all 'temporal matters and keet alive the spiritual hopes of ilia world, this verse had an ampler fulfillment. 3. The rabbis had a pei-feet right to ap- ply it to their pupils and say, "You have sc.en a great light; upon you has the light shone." 4. Then a ful- filment glorious beyond all compari- sons came with the eorning of Christ. 3.—Thou nest multiplied the na- tion, and not ("thou hast") in- cteased the ("their':) joy. Again the raze -mine is changed by a better trans- lation. This verse is simply a repe- tition of the promise rnade by the la et two verses. The "mill ipl ica- ti on" of the nation indicated tho pre- valence of peace, and the happiness of the nation was to be so great as to Compare witif the joy of the planter when gathering his prodifee, ana the joy of the soldier when dividing his spoil.

Each year it Is becoming more and more evident that, despite his must r strenuous exertions to the contrary, Andrew Carnegie' Will, to Use his owe now famous exeression, ultimat- ely die disgraced. The cause of this is found in the fa,et, that, though ha distributes his fortune as no one has ever distributed a fortune before, his e banking account iacreases so rapid, f ly that it is practically impossible, at least by his present donatioes even get abreast of his income.

Mr. Carnegie's donations during the last twelve ranuths have been in excess of those of any single year since :the time when he first began ' the work of getting rid of his for- • tune; but though he should keep this up to the end of his life he cannot possibly hop to materially lesson the amount of the principal. To Scotland and Pittsburg alone during the last twelve months Carnegie has given close upon $20,000,000, and it is, perhaps, only natural that the bulk of hs fortune should go to the land of his birth and the city where all his money was made. It has been estimated that Car- negie's wealth grows at the rate of a dollar for every tick of the clock, and an interesting table has lately been prepared showing his income de- rived from his holcling,s in steel and other • industries.
