Ye who the name of Jesus bear, His sacred steps pursue; And let that mind which was in Him Be also found in you. His greatness He for us abased, For us his Glory veiled; In human likeness dwelt on earth, His majesty concealed. Nor only as a man appears, But stoops a servant low; Submits to death. nay, bears the cross In all its shame and woe. Fence God this generous love to men, With honors just hath crowned, And raised the name of .!esus far Above all names renowned. (Scottish Paraphrase). Prayer Almighty Cod, give us grace that we may cast away the works of dark- ness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which Thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in His glorious Majesty to judge both the quick and dead, we may rise to the life immortal through Him who liveth and reign- eth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen. (The Collect). • SUNDAY SCHOOL L ESSON FOR JAN. 14th, 1923 Jesus Teaching Humility. Lesson Passage—Luke 14 : 7-14 Golden Text 1, Peter 5:5. Our Lord Jesus here sets us an ex- ample of profitable edifying discourse at our tables, when we are in com- pany with our friends. We find that when he had none but his disciples, who were his own family, with him at the ,table his conversation with them was good, and intended for their edification; and not only so, but when he was in company with stran- gers, and even with enemies that watched him, he took occasion to re- prove what he saw amisa..in them and to instruct •them: Following his ex- ample we. must not only not allow any corrupt communication at err tables, but we :post go beyond coin-' mon harmless talk and learn to spir- itualize common things. Our Lord Jesus was among • per.: sons of quality—Lawyers and Phari- sees (verse 3) yet he was no respeet- er df persons for he..took occasion to reprove the greets for striving to get the beat places at the table and so gives a lesson in humility. In Chapter XI, verse. 43, he had made a charge to the Pharisees in general for this very thing—"Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets." In verse'7 he brings home the charge to particular persons. We thus see how even in the common actions of life; Christ's eye is upon us. And he marks what we do, not only in our religious assemblies, but at our ta- Nes,. and makes remarks upon it. L Verses S-11. Here Jesus. observed how those who were thus aspiring often expos- ed themselves, and were:made a- shamed; whereas those ho were modest and seated themselves in the lowest seats, often gained respect by it. It ought to check our high thoughts of ourselves, to think how ''many there are that are more hon- orable than we, not only in respect of wordly dignities, but of personal merits and accr$mplishments. In- stead of being proud that so many give place to us, it should be hum- bling to us, that there are so many that we must give place to. The master orthe feast will see that each guest gets his right place and if he 'sweats one thus—"Give this man place" that one will be disgraced be- fore all the company. Those who, when they come in, content them- selves with the lowest seats, are likely to be preferred: (verse 10). The way to rise high is to begin low and this recommends a man to those aiborit Han`; '"Thou shalt, have honor and, respect before those that -sit With thee." Christ is this discourse refei'a to tbat'advice of Solomon in L'xoy;;, 2i 04, , "and not in the Piece ' Of St great men, for better it is that 'it be said nnto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shonidest be Put lower.". In verse 11 Christ ap- 1,riies this generally and would have s all learn not to mind high things' ' 9Hara'Y6 de II•Cause him to fdil'.: reild Better • it fe to be of an titin s1e spirit Wald** lowly, than to diVIde the.. spoil: 'with the 'proud. {Prov:' 16:719).

Extracts from a letter to the Hon - an Messenger by Mrs. Donald Mac- Gillivrary, Shanghai, China: "I want you and our readers to know something about the children's books we are preparing. 1 am sure you will be glad to know that our magazine, "Happy Childhood" is flourishing. We are now printing 6,100 copies per month. Of course it ought to be 60,000 or more. Bat it is a Christian magazine and this is a non-Christian country. The mas- ses of the people are very poor and we have to charge for the maga- zine. Sometimes I dread .tp see the printing bills. When I am prepar- ing the magazines I forget all about the printing bill, and I have pictures made just as I want and then when the printing bill comes in there in cold black ink is the cost of the pic- tures added to that bill. But friends in Canada and United States are very good and gifts of money have made these things possible. Then we are trying to get out some child- ren's ren's books and selling them at cost. This, too, has been made possible by gifts from friends and by a donation from the Anna Fletcher Memorial Fund. In our children's series we have "David Livingstone," "Helen Keller," "Angel's Christmas," "MY Story Book " "Stories for Children" and "Jesus, My Saviour." Now I would like to ask our read- ers to think much, to pray much, to plan largely for the children of China, of India and of Canada. Yours sincerely, L. A, MacGILLIVRAY.
