BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL
(editor of The Sunday School Thrice)
CHRISTMAS LESSON: THE
generations upon the Bread that
BIRTH OF JESUS. cometh down from Heaven, which
if a man eat thereof, he shall never
December 23. -Luke 2•'-20 die."
Joseph's wife Mary was with him,
Golden Test. and at Bethlehem "site brought
For unto you is born this day in forth her first born son." But
the city of David a Saviour, which ao>eeh was not the father; the pre -
Christ the Lord (Luke 2:11) ceding_ chapter in Luke gives an in-
- phys!can's account of the
Virgin conception, by the Holy
Spirit, of the Son of God.
We celebrate Christmas, and give
gifts to one another on that day, to
commemorate the day of the great-
est gift that ever has been made or
ever can be made in time or
eternity, when God gave His only
begotten Son to sinful men that
they might not perish, but have
everlasting life. Surely our first
thought and our first word on
Christmas morning should be,
."Thanks be unto God for His un-
speakable gift" (II Cor. 9;155).
Christmas in the home. especially
with young children should be a
time when God's great gift is rem-
embered, and talked about, and
prayed about, as hearts and vole, s
are lifted in thanksgiving ar.d wor-
ship.
A ntightly Roman emperor, dom-
inating the inhabited earth, together
with the official and world-wide
machinery of that empire, were set
in motion in order that a humanly
insignificant carpenter and his wife,
living in Nazareth, should make the
journey south to Bethehem and be
there on a certain day. "There
went out a decree from Caesar Au-
gustus, that all the world should
be taxed," or registered for taxation.
To obey this decree every one had
to go to hi' own city for such enrol-
lment, which meant Joseph going
from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Luke's
record, with the accuracy of a great
historian, adds that "Cyrenius was
Governor of Syria" at this time.
The critics used to question all this,
with their usual depreciation of the
Bible record, until Sir William M,
Ramsay made archaeological resea-
rches that corroborated in every de-
tail Luke's record of the Birth at
Bethlehem. And the critics were
silent, as they always are when arc-
haeology and criticism come to close
quarters.
There is a Renee in which the
entire Old Te:.tantent was written
for this stupendous moment in his-
tory, the first Christmas day. Chi •t
is the theme of the whole Bible,
Old Testament and Now. From the
ray of Adams fall. rod and -Angels
and God's people on earth lankeel
forward to the birth of "the la,•t
adorn." who was to restore ami
more than restore, the ruin wrought
by the first man, Adam. Hanes it is
not surprising, though few realize
this important fact, that thirty-five
of the thirty-nine books in the Old
Testament contribute to the first
five chapters (chronologically speak-
ing) of the New Testament, The
Sunday School Times publishes in
its Christmas Number a remarkable
article on "The Old Testament in
the Birth of Christ," showing what
a wealth of material from the Old
reappears in the Nativity Narrntives.
Bethehem, for example, was rich
in Old Testament historical events
Rachel died there; it was the home
of .Ruth and Boaz; David wax born
there, and there he was anointed
King, The name Bethehem means
"the House of Bread," and here the.
Bread or r?fe was born. "That
which was the granary of Jerusalem
tow gives to the world Him who

Government Sale clues not permit
the consumption of alcohol in public
places but has driven it into factor-

and, to an extent utterly unknown
before, into private homes. All this
luta a most disastrous effect upon
the morals of both men and women.
Mr. Ferguson, it will be recalled
in view of the 'United States indic-
tments of liquor exports, did not
hasten to urge acceptance of the
Royal Commission's recommendation
that exports be placed in the 1111114
of the provincial Government.
We wish Premier Ferguson would
be more definite and indicate what
he consider: a fair time limit, a fair
trial before the new act may be
valuated. The act is entitled to fair
trial but when one sees drunkenness
on the street increasing, motor ac -
Babe wee laid in a manger "be- I `idents becoming more frequent,
cause there was no room for then: in ' hears of charity organizations Com -
the
the inn." Was this not an acted par-
able of the fact that "He came unto
His own, and His own received Him
not" (John 1:11) ?
Angels brought shepherds the
good news. Shepherds are found made.
throughout the Old Testament 10
significant connections. The first
shepherd was Abel, saved by the
blood. David was a shepherd. But
"no other shepherd or group of
shopheed appears anywhere again in
the New Testament after the Great
Shepherd of the sheep Himself! The
hepherds of Bethlehem, watching
over the sheep intended for the
temple sacrifices, lay down their
crooks at the manger of the Lamb of
God, who in His death will forever
abolish the need of animal sacrifices,
and after His resurrection will,
through all the ages lead His people
in and out that they may find pas-
ture."
To these shepherde the angel said:
"I bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people."
Dr. Griffith Thomas used to quote
the reminder, "The Gospel is not
good advice, but good news." God
did not give a lost world good
advice on that first Christmas; He
brought the good news that sinners
could be saved, not by doing good
works for Him, but by His great
work for them through His Son. The
Gospel never tells us what we are
to do for God, but what God has
clone for us. That is the Christmas
message: "For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord,"
It has been said that the shepherds
showed true faith in their response
to this announcement. "Let us now
go even unto P-,thlr.hem," they said,
"and see this thing which is come to
pees, which the Lord hath made un-
known unto us," Might not sone
of
ns, if we had been thee., have
+:rad"Let us now go and see if
tor, thing- is come to pt.."? There
1e a -emit difference between the
"if" and the "is" in those two sen-
ttinees. Ilut when the Lord makes
ariythil y known unto us by :-ll:s
plaining about increased burdens,
when one reads the daily report of
Police Court matters, one wonders
how long matters most continue
before empthatic protest should be
Word, ma>, we be 1, believing, as

(dared is come to pass. Then every

FOREST FIRE COSTS
Canada's bill for forest fire losses
amounts to more than $1.50 a week
for every ratan, woman, and child of
the population. Federal and provinci-
al governments are putting forth ef-
forts to reduce and eventually wipe
out .this heavy loss.
COLUMBIA, A GREAT ICEFIELD
The extension of 980 square miles,
made to Jasper national park, Al-
berta, in 1927, brought the Columbia
icefield within national park bound-
aries. This giant icefield, one hund-
dred and twenty-five miles in extent,
which is the mother of more than a
score of glaciers, is surrounded by
a galaxy of giant peaks and re-
presents the very climax of the
scenic and alpine features of the
Rockies.

New Westminster, B. C., Inas an
interesting history, as it was the
first capital of the colony of British
Columbia from 1850 until 1868• It
was concurrently occupied as a camp
of the Royal Engineers as a detach-
ment sent out by the Imperial gov-
ernment to maintain law and order
and to iticl in the development of
the colony. Here, too, on January
21, 1864, the Legislative Council,
13. C., held its first meeting and con-
tinued the meeting until the capital
of the province was removed to
Victoria.

The growing importance of man-
ufacturing in tete three Martimo
Provinces is an evidence of the
general progress and development
that marks this part of the Dom
inion. .According to the latest sta-
tistics, covering 1928, there were
2,372 industrial plants in operation,
employing 33,350 and representing
a capital investment of 3216,562,-
066; while the gross value of pro-
duction exceeded $15,000,000. These
figures have been substantially add-
ed to during recent months, espe-
cially with development of water
and the activities connected with
he Sydney industries.
