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. 0 tario Tries 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. .11•01111111010•••.1.111=1•1••110 RADIO AND NOTES NE W S By MADGE ARCHER 150 STATIONS CARRY IT The brdadcast of the 1939 World Series will be heard exclusively over the facilities of the Mutual Broadcasting System on more than 150 stations in the United States, Europe, South America, Cuba, West Indies and Hawaii, and, in Canada, over the coast to coast network of the CBC.
