QUESTIONS -Who is the writer .of
this lesson? What is there striking
about his prophecy? Who is meant
by the "Branch"? What. work did
Christ come to earth to accomplish?
What is said of the power of His
words? What figures are .used to
denote the effects cf Christ's work for
the world? How widely is the know-
ledge cf the gospel to be spread?
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic.-Cbrist in prophecy.
1. His coming.
II. His 'spirit.
111. His reign.
1. His coming. It is evident. that
the picture of the future which fills
this chapter Is one of the most ex-
tensiVe which the prophet Isaiah has
drawn. It certainly was not from
him .that the Jewish nation -denied the
expectation that the Messiah would be
a mighty temporal prince, the leader
of armies, who would break the yoke
that bound them and give them do-
minion over all the nations of the
world. The prophecy here reveals
that then the ,heiese, of Jesse seemed
like a tree hewn to the ground, a
Branch waled spring forth, bearing
fruit and overshadowing the earth.
• The picture here presented is design-
ed to be in sharp contrast to that of
the unjust judges referred to in pre-
vious chapters. It is necessary .to
connect the opening of this chapter
with the 'close ot the preceding one,
in order to feel the force of the cone
trivia There we find that the cedar
of Lebanon, the symbol of Assyrian
power, representing tee raesing Pomp
of a ragan ercpire, while Israel is
here represented es rising again,
though so far cut cff. The green
shoot was in fulfilment of the- old
cow:mint that there should always be
one tosit on Davide; throne. The
metaphcr is taken from the growth
of vegetaticn, that process cf the
wonder-working Gcd, which none •can
=Plain, yet the extetence of which
none can dispute. The "dry ground"
was the barren soil of a corrupt age,
a depraved humanity. When Christ
came, Mary and Joseph were the
Iiv-
lngreprcsentativrs of an illustrious
ancestry. The prophecy begies in
full •Messiantc strain and swells into
a sublime prophecy Of the reign of
His spirit. Those graces are here.
set forth whicil were specially mani-
fested in the 'Messiah, wisdem, cour-
age and reverence. He saw all things
in their .actual ant .essential nature
and in their true proportions. He pre-,
sented a perfect character. He had
the Spirit without measure that he
might perfectly understand his under-
taking. He revealed the divine father
unto nien. The prophetic conception
of the Messiah is of a man specially
endowed and fitted for his mbision by
God's Spirit,...with a perfect compre-
hension of God in his nature, quail -
nee, tatributee and worka. The Mes-
siah b.; here represented in his righte-
ollsnesit and faithfulness, agreeably
blended tegeelier„ mutually 'Migrat-
ing cacti other.
Ile Ills reign. Prophetic scriptures
set forth a pertect Being, and an ideal
King, with kingly authority. We hay
well study this pieture of the Mes-
siah's reign, drawn by a -divine band,
for through it we can see the answer
-to our prayers. The whole earth shall
be the spiritual realization of what
Mount Zionewas but -the symbol. The
whole world shall be freed from injus.
dee and violence, and flooded with
Christianity. This prophecy was part-
ly fulfilled when the Chrietian dis-
pensation was iestituted, but a far
more illustrioue day is looked forward
to when the prophecy ellen have its
tomplete accomplisinneet„ when God is
recognized everywhere, when ineh's
relationship to eaca other will be of
'1,0 happiest and Most helpful kind,
when separate lands are brought into
tommunieation with each other, etim-
pletely and helpfully, Mien love will
hare eletory over all forme of division
and hate, when righteoushcite sin fully
rein, when the perfect King is uni-
vereally acknowledged and tee perfect
kingdont established, with inipartial
judgments and equitable reproof are
administered. In prophetic form we
have here expressed thetruth which
the Messiah himself declared when he
said,. "And 1, if I be lifted hp froze
the earth, will draw all Melt unto Inc."
JelitiS arose to an appreciation of the
ePsential oneness of humanity, and
prevented himself as the .eneign

Allies.
Berlin, via London, Dee. FL -The
correspondent of the Tagoblatt, in So-
fia, Bulgaria, telegraphs an iaterview
he bad with Field Marshal Baron Von
Per Colts, while 'the latter was on las
way to Constantinople. Regarding
Belgium, Baron Von Der (toile sale:
"Tile situation is normal, the po-
pulation having convinced themselves
that the Germans ere not barbarians.
Life continues as if in peace time,
and commerce and transportation are
getting better.
"The Belgians fo-ught bravely for
their fatherland. Such opponents
• Should be esteemed."
Answering questions regarding the
war situation in the west, the field
raarsbal pointed out that an army of
millions of German, soldiers was in the
enemy's country, and that the richest
• French Provinces were occupied.
"We dolet underestimate our oppon-
ents," lie said, "the French and Bri-
tish fight with utter contempt for
death, but we are gradually winning
ground, and are convinced that some
day the enemy's resistance win be
broken,
"Germany is prepared to wage the
war for years, and the side which ie
able to stand the most, and has the
best discipline is bound to win. The
enthusiasm and morale of the German -
soldier, fostered by good supply ar-
rangements, we are sure, will ulti-
mately make us victorious.
Speaking of the situation in the
east, Field Marshall Von Der Goitz
said he considered that the Russian
offensive had been a failure, but that
hard fighting was still in prospect.
. "But the German arm)," he added,
"which was victorious earlier against
superior numbers, is bound to be eo
In the future."
Field Marshal Von Der Goltz said,
In conclusion that he was convinced
that the Turkish army had greatly
profited by its hard work during the
last few years, and would make a good
record.
SERIN KING
CHHO CHANCE
Rode Through Battle Line Inspir-
ing His Veterans.
Rout of Austrian Invaders Means
Great Gain:
Paris Cable. -The inspiring pres-
ence and words of King Peter of Ser -
via are given as the chief cause of the
successes recently achieved by the
Servian army, says a despatch from
Nish, Servia, to the Matin:
"(301diers, licroes,-Your old- King
has come to die with you foe the
-fatherland, for Servia.e. Let us drive
out the enemy."
These historic words, says the
Mathes despatce, were pronounced by
King Peter before the order for the
general attack were given, which re-
sulted in the defeat of the Austrians.
The aged King arrived on the battle
front:eat the supreme moment, when
the country's fate hung in the balan.ce.
Mounted on a charger, he slowly rode
through the Servian lines, and was
everywhere greeted with the wildest
enthtislasin.
His words, according to the Nish
despatch, had the effect of a train of
gunpowaer, arid then the unforgetable
battle began before Topola, the cradle
of the leerageorgevitch dynasty, ten
miles from Mount Oplenatz, where
rest the ashes of the Servian hero's
royal faintly.

By a mighty effort, toward whin

By ihis success King Peter's troops

toward the Bosnian frontier, arid they
have effectually defeated the Austrians
advancing from the north.
From Vienna collies additional con-
firmation of the Servian victory in
the official statement that the forces
in the southern theatre are being
regrouped "with little opposition from
the enemy." The Serbs report the

Neither is able for long to corrupt his
spirit. Rather, reverses tend to stiffen
his, martial back, and make him a
twice formidable enemy when the
time comes for an about face and
charge or a smashing, overwhelming
rout. The Servians, retreating for six
weeks before the advancing Austrians,
were regarded as almost at the end of'
their military rope, and British com-
mentators were already reterring to
the possibility Alf the Austrians over-
running the little 13alkait kingdom as
the Gentians Overtan Belgium. The
Servian fighting qualities were still
intact, however, and overcame the
greater number which the Austrians
had. on their side.
