LESSON XIII
ISAIAH: FORETELLING THE
BIRTH OF THE MESSIANIC
KING.—lsa. 7:14 9:1-7; 11:1-5
Golden Text.—His name shall
he called Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6.
THE LESSON IN, ITS SETTING
Tiree.—Isaiah prophesied from
about 740 to 701 B.C. The pro-
phecies in this lesson were utter-
ed approximately at 734 B.C.
Isaiah is beyond question the
greatest of the Old Testament
prophets. In a prophetic activity
e • • • - extending through a lone -Period -
of varied experiences anehistoric-
ad change, he has given us one of
the grandest monuments of inspir-
ed thoughts and utterances. The
oe name Isaiah means "Jehovah
saves.
• Prophesies Christ's Birth
14. Therefore the Lord himself
will give you a sign: behold, a vir-
gin shall conceive, and bear a son,
• and shall call his name Immanuel.
This prophecy was given during
the reign of Ahaz, in the midst of
calamities. The Child is a sign or
• a pledge that God is with his peo-
ple. This is a truly Messianic
passage. The word "Emmanuel"
means "God with us." Isaiah be-
lieved the Messiah to be different
• from, higher and more divine than
any other person who had ever ap-
peared in human history.
Isa. 9 ki.-7. 1. But there shall be
no gloom to her that was in an-
guish. In the former tiine he
brought into contempt the land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali;
but inthe latter time hath he made
it glorious, by the way of the
sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee
of the nations. 2. The people that
walked in darkness- have seen a
great light: they that dwelt in the
land of the shadow of death, upon
them hath the light shined. Isaiah
here prophesies the terrible Assy-
rian invasion but says that in the
midst of it there will be hope and
light. (Zebulun and Napthali
were tribal areas in northern Pal-
estine, directly west of the Sea of
• Galilee.?
3. Thou has multiplied the na-
tion, thou has increased their joy;
they joy before thee according to
the joy in harvest. as men rejoice
when they divide the spoil, "Na-
tion" refers to the Jewish nation
which will rejoice when their ag-
onies are over. 4. For the yoke of
his burden. and the staff of his
shoulder, the rod of his oppressor,
• thou has broken •as in the day of
Midian. 5. For all the armor of
• the armed man in the tumult, and
the garments rolled in blood, shall
be for burning, for fuel of fire.
His Government
G. For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given; and the
government shall be upon his
shoulder. And his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. Five remarkable
titles 1A*I'C given to this predicted
0011,
7. Of the increase of his govern-
ment and of peace there shall be
no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to estab-
lish it, and to uphold it with jus-
tice and with righteousness from
henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of Jehovah of hosts will per-
• form this. The government of
Christ as predicted here will be
a righteous and just government,
an everlasting government. It will
be a government set up not by
men, but by God, its King appoint-
ed by God himself.
The Righteous Judge
Isa. 11:1-5. 1. And there shall
come forth a shoot Gut of the
stock of Jesse, and a branch out of
his roots shall bear fruit. (a) And
the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest
upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of coun-
sel and might. the spirit of know-
ledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
Here is pictured the endowment
(by the Holy Spirit) of the Messi-
ah with eminent prophetic gifts
and qualifications for his ministry
on earth. How is each one of these
gifts of the Spirit of God manifest-
ed in the earthly ministry of the
Lord Jesus?.
3. And his delight shall be in
the fear of Jehovah; and he shall
not judge after the sight of his
eyes, neither decide after the hear-
ing.df his ears. 4. But with right-
eousness shall be judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the
meek of the earth. And he shall
smite the earth with the rod of
his mouth; and with the breath of
his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5. And righteousness shall be the
girdle of 'his waist, and faithful-
ness the girdle of his loins. The
girdle is the symbol of vigorous,
unimpeded strength. Christ is
righteousness incarnate and all his
judgments will be according to his
character. He will know all cir-
cumstances, all motives.
Imputes Success
To Upbringing
Educator Doubts Heredity Is
Influence In Making Fam-
ilies Advance
Upbringing of a successful fam-
ily is a matter of training, not of
heredity, the annual conference of
secretaries of Canadian branches
of the Young Men's Christian As-
sociation was told by Dr. Joseph
Kopas of Cleveland.
By Learning How
Dr. Kopas, director or student
guidance and orientation at Fenn
College, said that intelligent plan-
ning and conscious activity on the
part of young people themselves
in all phases of living is the key-
note to a greater degree of suc-
cess. Such a program of living is
needed particularly, he said, in
"the highly complex condition of
society today."
"it is a matter of learning how
to live successfully with oneself,
with others socially, witli one's
tamily," 1)r. Kopas declared.
"People are not born to have a
successful family—it is a matter
of learning to have a successful
family."
Claims Indians
Not Decreasing
Population Rises One Per Cent
• A Year On This Continent,
Government Official Says
Contrary- to popular belief, the
North American Indian is not de-
creasing in numbers, according to
Dr. H. W. McGill, director, Indian
Affairs Branch, Ottawa, who ad-
dressed a seminar conference at
the Royal Ontario Museum, To-
ronto, recently.
Dr. McGill says there is a nat-
ural increase of about 1 per cent
a year in the population of the
Indians. This appliea, he declared,
to the pure-bred tribes on reser-
vations, as well as to the inter-
racial mixtures. The last census
in Canada, five years ago, showed
a total of 112,500 Indians, Dr. Mc-
Gill said, and he was confident
the next census would show a sub-
• stantial increase in this 'number.
Adjustable To Modern Conditions
In relating facts which showed
the Indians were readily readjust-
ing themselves to modern condi-
tions, Dr. McGill mentioned tliat
the Caughnawaga Indians from
Montreal island were the best
structural steel workers on the
continent and were in great the
mend.

Winter Barley
response to inquiries about
•the suitabilitY of winter barley for
Ontario, Mr. Robert Keegan ot the
•Field Rusbandry ,Department,
On-
tarlD Agricultural College, gives
the following brief statement:—
Daring recent years there ap-
pears to be an increasing interest
in winter barley in Ontario, and
some verY high yield e of grain
have been reported.
This crop has been in field
tests at the Ontario Agricultural
College for many years, but has
not been unreservedly recommend-
ed to the farmers of Ontario as no
variety yet tested has been hardy
enough to ensure a crop in sea-
sons following severe winters.
' Experimental results at the Col-
lege and the experience of farra-
ers„ who. have grown winter barley
'indicate the following facts about
this crop:—
It is not as dependable a crop
as spring barley, but, when not
winter killed, it produces excep-
tionally high yields.
e The quality of the grain is gen-
erally excellent.
..ele can be grown on well drained.
land. • in parts of the province
where the snow cover is good and
• where winters are not too severe.
It matures very early and thus
givean excellent opportunity to
control weeds by after harvest cul-
tivation.
Since summer cultivation is nec-
eseary to provide a good seed bed,
growing this crop gives good cote
trol of weeds as partial summer
following can be practised both
before seeding and after harvest-
ing winter barley.
Man Who Never
Heard Of Hitler
Only 10 miles from Downing
Street, London, lives a grey-haired
hermit, Henry Tillyer, 74. He
knows nothing about Hitler and
little about the war.
Henry boiled a can of tea over a
fire in the wooden hut he built on
a lonely lane in the village of Har-
lington, Middlesex.
"Hitler?" he said. "I don't know
what you're talking about. I've
heard folk talk about him but who
is he and where does he live?"
Can't Afford Newspapers
Henry explained he cannot af-
ford newspapers or radio and
mostly reads the Bible.
Shown a gas mask, Tillyer de-
cided it would be a good thing to
keep flowers in.
"I've heard nothing about any
crisis except the one I had a few
weeks ago when my hut burned
down," be said. "That was the big-
gest for 40 years.
A cow in Zebekeny, Hunary,
has given birth to a calf with two
heads, which have four eyes, two
tongues and only two ears.
