Tli? lesson committee has suggest
ed alternative lessons for today, nume
ly: "The Conversion of Zacchueus"
or "God's * i I ft to the World." Since
we so riirely ?et a Christmas lesson
from the Gospel of John, It In most
fitting that we nvail ourselves of this
opportunity.
I. The Declaration of God (John
1:14-18).
1. l\y Whom (v. 14)? The Word.
The historic person Jesus (Christ Is
culled the Word of God because He Is
the expression of God to men. Th<*
eternal God has declared himself In
Jesus Christ. Observe:
(1) That Jesus Christ Is a person,
separate and distinct from the Father,
yet there exists an Inseparable union
between them (v. 1).
(2) He Is eternal (v. 2). He wns
with God In the beginning. lie did
not begin to exist when the heavens
and the earth were created. He was
before all things (Col. 1:17).
(.'{) He Is (Sod (v. 1). lie Is not
only n being equal with God but one
Jn essence with Him.
(4) He is the omnipotent Creator
(v. .'{) by whom were nil things made,
the world and all things therein.
(r?> lie Is the Source of all life
(v. 4). He Is the eternal fountain
from which all life has been derived.
All living beings have derived their
life from Him?are dependent upon
Him for the maintenance of life.
(0) lie is the Light of men (v. 4).
The light of reason enrne from Him.
2. How Made (v. 14). Through
sin, man who was made in the like
ness and linage of God, lost knowl
edge and touch with God. The su
preme need, therefore, was a tangible
revelation, one he could touch and
handle, that is. verify with the senses.
This was done through the Incarnation
of the Word. Jesus Christ is not
merely a representative of God, but
He is absolutely nn<l essentially God.
Jt was the eternal Word who became
"flesh. In the virgin hlrth of Christ
God became Incorporated with hu
manity. He did not merely become a
Jew. He was the "Son of'Man." His
relation Is Pacini.
3. The Witnesses (vv. l.r>-17),
(1) The Baptist (v. 15). John Ihe
Baptist was tlie herald of the eternal
Word who was the revealer of God.
(2) John the Evangelist and Ills
Fellow Disciples (v. 16). Their expe
rience of God's grace of salvation was
the proof of the coming of God's rep
resentative.
4. The Need (v. IS). Sinful man
was blind, therefore could not per
ceive God. If man was ever to know
God. God must adapt Himself to man's
need.
II. The Supreme Reason Why God
Revealed Himself (John Silft-'JI).
1. His Ureat Lovi' (v. 16). Tri
mnrily (loil's boundless nfTectton
moved Tlim to reveal Himself as tli<>
Savior of men. Concerning this sal
vation note:
(1) Its orlpln. "God so loved the
world." It proceeded out of the lov
ing heart of Ood.
(2) Its ground. "Tie gave His only
begotten son." Man's salvation rests
upon the death of Christ.
(3) Its recipient?. "Whosoever be
Heveth." That means whosoever in
any nco. rare or clime receive? Jesus
Cflirlst Is saved.
(4) How approprlfited. "Belleveth
on Him." Tills great salvation, which
proceeded from the loving heart of
#*od, is offered to whosoever will take
H on the simple condition of receiving
ft.
(f?> Its effects.
a. It is'iics in eternal life. Christ
Is the source of life. Those who re
reive Him are made partakers In that
life. Then-fore all who are In Christ
fcnve eternal life.
b. It saves from perishing Those
who accept Jesus Christ are eternally
saved.
2. The World's firoat Need (vv.
17-21). Ti e world was unilor condem
nation. It was without help to save
Itself. Christ, the sreat Savior and
Peliverer. did not come to condemn
the world. Its unbelief and rebellion
jtUced it under condemnation.
Dog* Need Frequent
Release From Chain
The following humane appeal made
by u correspondent In the Dog World
shows pointedly how dogs are the vic
tims of a cruel practice; how their
dispositions may he spoiled, and their
lives rendered unnatural and un
happy:
"Muy I plead through your columns
for the better treatment of dogs who
are continually chained, sometimes
for weeks and months, without being
liberated from their imprisonment?
The other day a man stated in u
police court that his dog had not been
off the chain for twelve months; from
Its puppyhood. It had been fastened
up without an hour of liberty.
"As a lover of dogs I hold that ev
ery dog is entitled to regular exercise,
and that It Is unjustifiable cruelty to
Imprison a dog for life. Such treat
ment makes a dog hopeless and mis
erable; he hitmen dejected and oft
en savage, and his health suiters se
riously.
"A young dog can be trained to be
u guard without chaining, and the best
watchdogs are those which are not
chained. Chains are a heritage of by
gone days and should be abolished."
The best way to keep a dog that
needs restraint is to put him In a yard
with n high fence. If this Is not prac
ticable, fasten a wire across any yard;
on this put an iron ring which, when
attached by a cord to the dog's collar,
will allow him to run backward and
forward the full length of the wire.
The yard should have shade as well
as sunshine, to protect the dog from
too great heat of the sun.
Make your dog your companion and
friend. Treat him kindly and he will
respond.
It Is cruel to tie a dog under a wag
on or nllow him to follow an automo
bile or bicycle. Let him ride with you.
Fought to Establish
Jewish Independence
The Maccabees was the name of a
family In Syria, which during t lie Sec
ond century before Christ, resisted the
persecutions inflicted upon the Jewish
nation by t lie Seleucidae.
After the death of Mattathlas, the
leader of the revolt, in 100 15. C., ills
son Judas Maccabaeus, defeated the
Syrians in three buttles, reconquered
Jerusalem, purified the temple, and re
stored the worship of Jehovah, says
the Kansas City Star, lie was slain
In ambush in 101 15. C., and was suc
ceeded by his brother, Jonathan, who
was raised to the dignity of high
priest, but was afterward treacherous
ly slain at I'tolemais in 144 15. C., by
Tryphon, t lie guardian of the young
prince AntioclniS Theos.
Ills brother, Situon, then succeeded
to t lie leadership of the common
wealth, and completely established the
independence of the Jews. After seven
yars of beneficent rule, he was mur
dered, together with his two sons, by
his son-in-law, Ptolemy, who vainly
hoped to be chosen his successor. John
Hyreanus, son of Simon, was the next
ruler, lie renewed the alliance with
Home, conquered Idumaea, and took
the title of king, 107 15. C. Syria be
"ame a Ronmn province In 63 B. C,
Timber Well Protected
Outright theft of timber is rare In
the national forests. Ijjach year then
are some cases of timber trespass, but
usually these trespasses happen
through no criminal intent. They are
frequently due to Imperfect title rec
ords on the part of private operators
The government maintains a corps of
rangers and forest guards on the na
tional forests, who in the course of
their daily work are constantly travel
ing through the forest areas umlei
their jurisdiction. This patrol pre
vents deliberate theft and discovers
and corrects unintentional trespass
The penalty for deliberate trespass L*
severe and is applied rigorously.
Brought Indians to Feast
The lirst Thanksgiving at which In
dians participated in this country, ac
cording to t lie well-known chronicler,
Kdward Winslow, to<>k place In 1021,
ten months after the landing of the
i'llgrinis, when, the crops being gar
nered, they felt spring up within their
hearts a feeling of praise and thanks
giving. They dispatched a messenger
to invite Massasoit, sagamore of the
Wampanoags. and 00 of his warriors
to attend the celebration, which last
ed almost a week. On the appointed
Thursday Msssasolt and his warriors
arrived and t lie little settlement gave
t lie Indians a hearty welcome.
Think of Less Fortunate
Charity has an Important place in
the conventions of Thanksgiving. The
largeness of heart, which the plenteous
period engenders shows itself Id works
as practical as they are beautiful,
those who give feeling, doubtless, as
did the old Pilgrim who wrote of th*
lirst Thanksgiving:
"By the goodness of Ood we are so
farre from want ourseives that we
wish you to be partakers #f our
plentie."
