THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
A PROPHETIC VISION
Sunday, Jan. 12—Luke 2.
Golden Text: »
* Mine eyes have seen Thy salva
tion, which Thou hast prepared be
fore the face of all people. Luke 2:30,
3D t <
A World, Emperor issued a decree
affecting every part of his empire,
and at a certain moment in history,
So that two insignificant persons in
his empire, a husband and wife should
be sure to go from .the city where
they were living and be in another
city some Sixty .miles distant at the
time of the birth of her first child.
The Emperor, Caesar Augustus, did
not know that was why he issued this
decree} nor did he know that the in
significant husband and wife, probab
ly qiiite unknown to him, were not
insignificant in God’s sight, but of
“the city of David,”
ing "of the house
David.”
Mary was soon to
ulously given Babe of whom she had
been told by the angel Gabriel; the
father of this Babe was not her hus
band, but God Himself, and the virgin
mother had been told that “therefore
also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son
of God.”
The Bethlehem Babe “was in the
beginning with God,” and “was God.”
He was the Creator of the world, and
He was to become the Saviour of all
who .would believe on Him.
Many centuries before, God had
predicted through an Old Testament
prophet that Israel’s Messiah, the
Christ of God, should be born in
Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Caesar Aug
ustus did not know this, but his im
perial decree sent Mary and Joseph
to Bethlehem that God’s purpose
should be fulfilled to the letter. "And
so it was, that, while they were there,
the days were accomplished that she
(Mary) should be delivered. And she
brought forth
wrapped Him
and laid Him
there was no
inn.”
This second chapter of Luke, is fill
ed with the divinely inspired and in
fallible record of precious and amaz
ing events. Let us note them:
A decree of the Roman Emperor
brings Mary to Bethlehem, where
Christ is born.
The angel of the Lord announces
to shepherds, keeping watch over
their flocks by night, the birth of "a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
The shepherds hasten to Bethlehem
and find "Mary, and Joseph, and the
Babe lying in a manger.”
The law of Moses, God’s law, is
scrupulously obeyed as the Babe
Jesus is brought to Jerusalem and
presented to the Lord*
An old man, Simeon, who had been
told by the Holy Spirit that he
"should not see death, before, he had
seen the Lord’s Christ,” recognizes
the Babe Jesus aS the Messiah, and
utters a divinely inspired prophecy,
An aged woman, Anna, recognizes
the Babe Messiah and proclaims this
"to all them that looked for redemp
tion in Jerusalem.”
Jesus Christ is a normal child'—
tire only truly normal child and man
this world has ever known—-and "the
child grew, and waxed Strong in Spir
it, filled with wisdom: and the grace
of God was upon Him.’ ’

An astounding incident of the boy’s
life when He was twelve years old is
given in detail: His parents,, who
“lost” Him during a visit to Jerusa
lem, to observe the Feast of the Pass-
over, find Him again after three days,
“in the Temple, sitting in the midst
of the doctors, both" hearing them,
and asking them questions. And all
that heard Him were astonished at
His understanding and answers.
■ When reproached by His mother
the boy asked a profoundly searching
question: "Wist ye not that I must
be about My Father’s business?”
Mary and Joseph could not under
stand the ’meaning of this.
Aged Simeon was given the proph
etic vision of this lesson. He had
known, loved and served God for
many years, "waiting for the. consum
mation of Israel.” When Joseph and
Mary brought the child Jesus into
the temple, Simeon had been led there
by the Holy Spirit, and he knew that
God’s promise to him was now ful
filled, that he should see the Christ
before he died.
Here is a beautiful picture, and a
wonderful message from the old
man’s lips. He took the little child
up in his arms, “and blessed God, and
said, Lord, now lettest Thou thy ser
vant depart in peace according to Thy
word: For mine eyes have seen Tliy
salvation.”
While Christ was the Messiah of
Israel, He was also the Saviour of the
world, "prepared before the face of
all people; a light to lighten the Gen
tiles, and the glory of Thy people
Israel.”
Neither Mary nor Simeon could
know then all that we know now of
God’s plan of salvation, and that
Christ was to save the world from
sin and death by bearing our sinf and
dying the death that we deserve to
die. But Simeon did say: "Behold,
this child is set for the fall and ris
ing again of many in Israel; and for
a sign which shall be spoken against;
(yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,) that the thoughts
of many hearts may be revealed.
POULTRY WAX
The interest aroused throughout
the Dominion by the wax-plucking
demonstrations carried out by repre
sentatives of the National Research
Council and of the Dominion Depart
ment, of Agriculture has resulted in
the widespread adoption of this suc
cessful method of preparing poultry
for market. In the first place it is
not an expensive process, and it im
proves the appearance of the plucked
bird. Not only arc pin feathers and
hairs removed but the scurf and scale
on the skin are taken away and a
most pleasing fresh appearance, which
adds to the sale value of the bird, is
the result. There is also a substantial
saving in time, particularly’ when very
pinny specimens arc dealt with, and
the operations involved in the whole
process are simple and straightfor
ward,
The only initial drawback to the
universal use of this method was the
scarcity of the special wax necessary
for successful plucking. This wax was
prepared at the laboratories of the
National Research Council, and, ne
cessarily until arrangements could be
made for wholesale manufacture, the
supply at first was limited. Ordinary
forms of wax> of course, are not sat
isfactory. However, the difficulty has
been overcome and an adequate sup*

face, wielding big brushes full of hot
looking red paint" over the iron at
the base of the deck rail. I got red11
paint onto my fingers and from there
onto my nice white dress, and I nev
er knew a cup of coffe to take so
long to go down a human throat.
There are redeeming qualities about
the iron Bo'sun. He said, when he
did get back, that I had painted, a
pretty good stretch and didn’t do such
a bad job. T actually felt repaid for
my sufferings.
To while away some of my time,
I decided to ferret a bit, and find out
something about the ideal woman.
The big boy from* the Argentine,
Willie’s ideal must first have small
feet and be able to dance well. She.
must be pretty and cute and wear
nice clothes. As an afterthought he
said, she must have brains. He says
lie is twenty-five. By the time he is
five years older he might have sense
enough to reverse the order.
The Doctor’s ideal must be full of
energy. She must jump up in the
mornings, take an ice cold shower,
get breakfast ready, and be packed
full in every fibre of life and' energy-
By the time he has lived in close
quarters with such a human dynamo
for a week or two, he will be implor
ing her to sit down and relax, if only
for five minutes.
The Professor’s ideal must have a.
quick mind. She must be well versed
and able to converse well on any sub
ject which might come up. She must
be bright and amusing, good natured
and warm hoarted, and it doesn’t
matter whether she is little or big,
but I could see that he does admire
a big handsome type of female. And,
if his ideal doesn’t talk his head off
he will be lucky.
Girls, you can see that your rival
dream women are paragons and hard
to beat, but there is this to encour
age you, if a man should fall for the
curve of your eyebrow for instance,
he is easy to catch while the madness
lasts. No man ever married his ideal.
He only thinks he did—for a while.
We are following along the coast
of Lower California so closely now
that the Captain keeps to his bridge.
There is no green vegetation now, but
bald craggy peaks, with the sun strik
ing out subtle shades of rose and
mass, amythest and gray from the
planes and crevices and gorges. The
peaks are strung together by long
reaches of desert sand, and bombard
ed by the Pacific swells of midnight
blue.
I have just been’having my immi
gration papers made up once more..
We are only a little over four hund
red miles from Los Angeles and ex
pect to be there easily by next Tues
day morning, November 12, and I
remember it was November 13 I left
California for home four years ago.
I am recorded, on the U.S. immigra
tion sheet as born in Canada, race
white. I. studied over the list of ac
knowledged races on the back of the
sheet and, while Ruthenians and Dal-
mations and Cubans, English, Scotch,
etc., are there in black and white, the
Canadians and citizens of the United
States of America will have to carry
on for another three hundred years
in order to be acknowledged as races.
Just a short distance out of Los
Angeles. Soon there will be the flut
ter and bustle and running to and fro
of a ship getting into port. She will
lie over there for two or three days
and then it is thirty-six hour's to San
Francisco.
