The Word, Made Fleslee-joba x.x8.
Commentary. -1. The neture and dig-
nity of the Word (vs. 1-5). Divine at.
tributes are applied to him and divine
acts are aseribed to him. 1. The Word
was truly God (vs. 1, 2). 2. The Word
had eternal existence (v. 2). 3. The
Word was the Creator (v. 3). 4. The
Word was the source of life (v. 4), 5,
The Word was the source -of light (v. 4).
6. The Word was distinct from Ued-
a personal and dis' met Being. (vs. 1, 2).
7, The Word was Jesus Clirtst (v. 14).
8. Therefore, Jesus Christ was divine,
very God, yot a personal and distinct
Being. 1. in the beginuing-Before all
created things. In the ages of eternity
when may God existed. was -The Word
did not come into being; he wae never
created; he "wee." the Word -The Greek
term here translated "Word" is "Logue"
and has the double meaning of thought
and speech. Cinest is called the Word
of God because through him is. revealed.
to us the thoughts, feelings, purposes
and will of God, as our words express
to others our thoughts, feelings, pur-
poses and. will. God is an unseen Being,
but."his thought, his love and his eature
are embodied and expreseed in the per-
son of the Son, our Savior, who is the
Word of God." with God -In closest
commimion, yet dietinet from him. was
God -In substance and essence God.

the Holy Spirit is God; God is One." -
Chalmers. This is an unfathomable mys-
tery, but it is eternal.life to believe and
know it. The doctrine a the Trinity is
clearly taught in the Scriptures and is
the coreer-stone of the Christian reli-
°ion. 2. the same was. in the beginning
"-God was eternally Triune, three in
one. There was the Second Person in
the Trinity before he was manifested in
the flesh, even from. eternity. He was
not created'Divine-he existed Divine.

nal existence of Christ; not that he is

plans and purposes concerning men
should not be regarded lightly. 4. in him
was life -Christ was and still. is the
source, the fountain -head, from whom
flows all life -physical, intellectual,
1.noral, epiritual, eternal. Compare John
5:28. the life was the light -There is
first life, then light. Dead eyes cannot
see nor (lead minds know. Whatever
light men have in knowledge or holiness
comes from Christ, the great life -giver,
the infinite fountain of all blessings.
Christ in his life mid through the life
he brings to us shows us God- and duty
and salvation and heaven. He reveals
the truth; he is the living embodiment
.-eeef truth (John 14:0).
5. the light shineth-"Chriet has re-
vealed himself constantly, by creation,
by providence, by the strivings of the
S!'irit, by the course of events, by the
revelations of prophets, and even by the
dim intimations of heathen conscious -
nets." And the light still shineth,. clear-
er and brighter than in the past. in

other translation in the margin of the R.'
V. changes the meaning -"the darkness
overcame it not." "The light, though
sometimes appareutly overcome, was
really victorious; it withstood every as-
sault, and shone on triumphanely in a
darkened world." -Revision Com. .
IE. John's witness to the true light
(vs. 6-9, 15.) G. There was a man -See
R. V. literally, "there began to be a
man," in contrast with the Word. who
had no beginning. Sew& from God -God
gave him his mission and his message,
his credentials and his instructions -he
woe a messenger. John -The Baptist.
.An account of his birth iggiven in Luke
1, and of his manifestation 0,8 0, prophet
in Matthew 3. A deep significance at-
taches to the name John, which means
"The gracious gift of God," and which
was given from heaven.
7. To bear evilness of the Light -There
is much said in this gospel about wit-
nessing. John bore a; strong, clear
testimony in behalf of Christ and proved
from the Scriptures that Jesus was the
Messiah, The fact that John himself
had appeared as the fulfilment of pro-
pheey (Ise,. 40; 3-5; Mal. 3; 1), and that
there hitd been no collusion between him-
self and. Jesus were strong corroborative
points. All men .. believe-John's•pur.
pose was eo cause Israel to believe in
Joon as their Messiah, but his efforts
tontributed largely tn a more general be-
lief in Jesus, for the gospel was not for
the Jews alone, not for a race or elass,
but for all Men always and everywhere.
8. Not that light -John was not the
.seenrce of light, but only a reflector of
the light, a lamp lighted. 9. That was -
That Is Cludst was. The true light -
Not Unit John was a false light, but
Christ Was the "genuine, perfect light,
the original source of light," and hie
messenger only carried rays of light
fror him. Which lighteth every man -
NU "all men." . The Light illumines each
one singly. all collectively. That
cometh into the world -This clause re-
fers to "the tole Light" not to "every
mien." The best Bible expositors either
rend "which lighteth every man" as a
parenthetical clause or transpose it to
the ease of the verse. 15. Beat witness,
ete.-Th 'seems probable that this veree
deseribes the usual character -of John's
testinionrny concerning Christ. Ho was
'continually proclaiming Christ's super-
iority. . .
III. The true light rejected by some

ations about Christ: "1. It is Christ
alone who supplies all the spiritual
wants of all believers. 2. Christ and'His

revealed God the Father to man."

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"The Word of God."
A worCI is a thought menifesten. Christ
the Word took the thought of the mind
and Wart of God, and expressed it eo we
coule comprehend it, so that what Was
"invisible and inaudible and beyeind
reach COMON into our minds as mome-
thing once in God's heart and minde but
now in ours." If you would keow God,
hear .the word (Rom. 10: 17). "
1. The eternal Word.. "The same was
in the beginning with GOd" '(v. 2). "This
is hold ground. where we should tread
with shoeless feet in a lowliness that
assumes nothing, •that listens meekly,
that bows implicitly to him.who speaks,
that accepts the divine eonununication
concerning the essential glory •of the Son,
that owns him as the eternal, personal
Word, and rejoices in his being what he
has himself declared."
II. The creative 'Word. "All things
were made by him" (v. 3). The world
through him came into existence (v. 10).
He who was "the beginning of the crea-
tion of Clod" (Rev. 3: 14) is the Creator
of all things. Nothing exists that was
not created by the Word of God (Gen.
1: 0, 6, 9, 14, 20, 24, 26).
III. The living ,Word. "In .Him was
life" Iv. 4). Ife is the source of life.
"Life ifi him is underived, independent
and self -subsisting. :All ether life, yege-
table, animal, humito or angelic, is de-
rived and dependent, Ewe. the life pos-
send by feith, the spiritual, divine, eter.
nal life we haye as born of God, is not
essentially and intrineically ours. We
rave it derivatively trent him. We live
in him." Through him we have, 1. Re-
generation. "The Word of life" 1. Jcihn
lel; Phil, 2: 1.0)• The seed (Liike 8:
11; 1 Peter 1, 23), 2. Refreehment. "The
bread of life" (John 6: 48. 51, 54, 57).
3. Sanctification. "The water of life"
(Rev. 21: (I; 22: 17; Eph. 5: 26). 4. Re-
velation. "The light of life" (John 8:
12; 1: 4: Plift. 1.19- 105; 2 Peter 1 19).
5., Humility. "The grace of •life" (1
Peter 3: 7; 2 Cot 8: 9). 6. Resurrection.
"The spirit .of life" (Rev. 11: 11; Rom.
g; 2, ee Redemption. "The tree of life"
(Rev. 2: 7; 22:2). 8. 'Reward. "The
crown of life" (James 1: 12; Rev. 2:.10).
IV. The rejected Word. "He came un-
to his own, and his own received him•
not" (v. 11). Jeans came a stranger to
the earth and he had created (v. 10): He
came as the revelation of the Father's
love (v. 16; 1 John 4:10). He "came...
to EDAM sinners" (1 Tim. 1:15). But he
was rejeCted by his own world (v. 10).
his owo nation (v. 11); his own equntry
(Mark 6:4); his own city (Luke 4:29);
his own kindred (Mark 6:4); his own
house (John 7:5); his own disciples
(Matt. 26:21). Men misunderstood him
(Luke 0:50); John 8:43); despised him
(Isa. 50:3); persecuted him (John (15:
20); mocked him (Matt. 20:18, 19); for-
sook him (Mark 14;50); crucified him
(Acts 4:10).
V. The received Word. "But as many
as received him," etc. (v. 12). Christ is
Cod's "unspeakable gift" to the. world
(2 Cor. 9;15). To veceive hini is to prac-
tically and definitely believe that Jesus
the Son of man is the Christ, the Son of
Ood (1 John 5:1). It is not to receive
a doctrine or a creed or a dogma, but to
receive the Son of God, a living person
as our sin -bearer (Heb. 9.18; 1 Pet. 2:
24); our Redeemer (Titus e:14); our
Savior (Matt. 1:21, mar,gin), • our life,
our light a,nd our love, A-laay who had
'drifted into Christian Selene% and so in-
to darkness, said to the pastor who
pointed out her error: "Strange I never
. thought. They taeight me Christ was a
principle. I have been trying -to love a
principle." Then with gladness she
shouted, "Oh! he is a peesone may Sav-
ior."
VI. The incarnate Word. "And the
Word was made flesh" (v. 14). He was
the Word (v. 1). He became flesh. He
was declared to be•the Sein of God, he
became the teed of David' (Rom. 1:3,
4). He was in the form of God, he be-
eame a man (Phil. 2:0, 7), "The Word
- -dwelt among us" (V. 14). To dwell,
is to find and make a home.
VII. The personal Word. "No man
hatkeeen God at any time- the only be-
gotten Son: ...he hath dedared. hint" (v
18). At one time in Abyssinia there wag
a curious eeetom, whieh hinte at the pri-
tunny sigeifieance of "the Word." The

Montreal -During the past 'Week all
trade here has been practically confined
to the retail movement of holiday goods.
It is as yet impossible to exactly state
just what the volume of this trade will

that.of previous years. At the moment
it would appear as having -been heavy,

WRECK THREATENED
MODERN REFORMERS AND EX-
TREMISTS• IN INDIAN CONGRESS.
Extremists Acclaimed a Secessionist -
Crowds in the Streets Unhitch the
Horses From His Carriage and Draw
Him in Triumph. '
Surat, Dee. 30. -After 23 years of in-
creasingly successful wqrk, the Indian
National -Congress, now in anneal ses-
sion here, is threatened with wreck.
Troable has arisen from the divergence
ref opinion betweerethe moderate reform -
ens who rely upon the aid of the Bri-
tisll Government in carrying out schemes
for the betterment of the' natives, and
the extremists, of the type who caused
the recent alarm in Bengal.
The crisis came at to -day's meeting,
at which there were nearly two thous-
and del ates from. all parts of India,
and some thousands of spectators. The
extremists who axe in a large major-
ity, demanded that thee. resolution
last year in favor of seilf-government,
nationalism, boycotting of British goods,
etc., be included in tlie agenda for this
year. The moderates would not give
guarantees and the extremists deter-
mined to oppose the election of Dr.
Mose, a moderate, for president. When
Dr, Ghose's name was proposed they
howled it down and made a general up-
roar, which prevented the session con-
tinuing. An adjournment was taken un-
til to -morrow.
There is talk of a com.promise to-
night, but the final disruption of the
congress into two separate organiza-
tions is feared. One of the chief fea-
tures of the day was the .popular re-
ception accorded Laj. Patna, who was
deported by the British Governinnt
some time ago, but who was released
lately. The crowds in the streets ac-
claimed him,. unhitched the horses at-
taehed th lus carriag.e, and drew him
in rtriumph. He received another ova-
tion when he entered the hall where
the . congeess was sitting. The extrem-
ists nominated him for the presidency,
but he deolined the honor.

Milan, Dec. 30. -The Pope, on Christ-
mas Eve, launched the severest blow
he has yet dealt modernism, it being
aothing less them the pronunciation of
the' greater excommunication against
all concerned in the production of the
monthly review, 11 Rinnivatnento, which
is published hem. The greater excom-
munication is a penalty that has been
rarely imposed in modern times. Even
Victor Immanuel, when he deepoiled
the Papal States, was saved its sever-
ities. Among, other things it deprives
its Vietime of Christian burial and re-
iidves the faithful of all duties respect-
ing the bodies and souls of those de-
nounced whetheethey are alive or dead.
11 Rinnivaineeto ie a high-class sciene

to religion, but opposes the policy of
the Vatieao to the same extent as do
