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.

Government Sale clues not permit the consumption of alcohol in public places but has driven it into factor- ies, business offices, hotel bedrooms 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 wore the Bethlehem eh epherd ;, and rejoice that whatever God has de - (dared is come to pass. Then every clay will be a Christmas Day of Good News to us and to those about us, VERY TRUE Shop ---Don't you trust him. Ski•• fty eyes spell trouble. Green -So do black ones.

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. de et to 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.
