BIRTH AND INFANCY OF JESUS
Lesson Text: Matt 2: 1-12.
r ]d e n Text: Thou shnlt call his
^ name Jeous for he shall save his
people from their sins. •
We are either for him or we are not
fnr him. To fully accept Jesus we
must accept his divine attributes. We
must accept him as the God man.
There are some so called higher criti
cisms today that question the divinity
„ f the Saviour. If we deny this we
cannot accept his teachings as di
vine It is a very easy matter to prove
the divinity of the Saviour. To say
that his advent into the world by a
natural birth from an unnatural con-
ceution should be sufficient proofed
his divine nature. We can trace the
lineage of Jesus from Abraham to
hi" birth which we find to be 62 gen
erations. “Now the birth of Jesus
Christ was on this wise, when as ms
mother was espoused to Joseph, be
fore they came together. She was
found with child of the Holy Ghost.
This should finish all questions of the
Saviour’s divine origin.
Now let’s see just what is the
meaning of the Holy Ghost. The Holy
Ghost is that part of the Trinity that
communicates with man. Hence the
Virigin Mary became the mother of
the Saviour of the world, and can
justly claim the distinction of being
the mother of the most noted and
allround best son that any mother has
ver borne. When Jesus made his ad
vent into the world it was amid the
most humble surroundings. Thus he
could reach the most humble as well
as the highest. He made his advent
Into this world amid the surroundings
of a stable in a manger, but though
his advent amid these surroundings
he was attended by an angelic choir.
There has never before nor since been
an advent into this world attended by
an angelic choir, but as we ponder
over this great event we are made to
wonder at the heavenly attention that
was accorded to this child. There was
a guiding star even to guide the
wisest men of the time to the babe
that thev might pay homage and de
votion. Well they knew when guided
into his presence that they were in
the divine presence of the King of
Kings. They knew the prophecy of
+ he Old Testament that there would
be born in Bethlehem of Judea a bahe
who would revolutionize the world
religiously. As the old prohecy fore-
tola. Jesus was a descendant from
♦Wid. tt P kin" pnd of Abraham, the
father of the Jewish race.
The Visit of the iWise )Men
This visit shows to the world that
it was generally expected that the
Jewish race was to furnish a world
ruler. At this time there was on the
throne of one of the Roman provinces
which included Bethlehem, a king
named Henod, who was greatly ex-
.? ver the universal expectation
that there would be raised from the
Jewish race one who would be ruler
of the .world. It is true that he was to
be a world king, but Herod had a
misconception of the nature of this
kmgdom He thought it was to be a
political kingdom, but its spiritual as-
pects supercede all else, prophesy
was fulfilled, the star guided, the
Magi worshiped and sacrificed and
the divine dream led them directlv
home.
The Flight Into Egypt
Joseph took the holy infant be
yond the dominion of Henod. He was
instructed to do this in a dream. Jo
seph immediately obeyed the warn
ings of the dream, and set out on the
.lournev to Egynt bv night and re
mained there until after the death of
Herod.
The Slaughter of the Innocent
Hyrod had instructed the wise men
to show him where the 'babe was so
that he might worship him. This was
only a scheme by which he might
"am opnnrtimit.v to destroy the child.
The wise men looked for the star in
the east and found it, which led them
to where the babe lav. and thev wor
shiper him and made sacrifice unto
him. T-hcy started home bv another
way. thus disobeying Herod’s instruc

Mr®. Jones’ electric bill has been
averaging about $2.50 a month. How
will the new rates affect her? Listen
in while a power company repre
sentative explains the situation to
her.
■ MRS. JONES—“I’d like to ask some
questions about the new electric rates.
I’m using only lights and small appli
ances now, and my bill is usually about
$2.50 a month. How much of a reduction
do I get?”
■ REPRESENTATIVE —“Your reduc
tion amounts to approximately 25 per
cent, for the new rate reduces a $2.50
monthly bill to $1.87. But that isn’t all
you get. There is something more, for
in any month when you use more elec
tricity than you used in the same month
of 1933, you can get four kilowatt hours
thrown in FREE at that same lower
price of $1.87. In other words, you pay
25 per cent LESS and get about 14 per
cent MORE electricity.”
■ MRS. JONES—“MORE ELECTRIC
ITY FOR LESS MONEY! That is a sav
ing. Now tell me how much it would in
crease my electric bill if I should get an
electric range. I’ve been wanting one for
a long time.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE —‘1 can only
estimate it, of course, but figuring on
the basis of the average amount of cur
rent used by electric ranges in homes
which already have them, I would esti
mate, Mrs. Jones, that your electric bill
would be about $2.65 a month higher
than it has been in the past if you put
in an electric range.”
■ MRS. JONES—“That’s considerably
‘ess than I thought it would be. I
thought I would need quite a lot more
electricity than I have been using if I
got the electric range.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“You would.
You would need about FIVE AND ONE-
HALF TIMES as much electricity as
you have been using—but your monthly
bill would be only slightly more than
TWICE as much as it has been. That
would matte the price of the extra elec
tricity for your range figure out only
about two cents a kilowatt hour,
whereas you have been paying about
eight cento a kilowatt hour in the past.”
■ MRS. JONES — “From EIGHT cents
down to TWO cento? That certainly
brings down the price on the extra elec
tricity.”
■ REPRESENTATIVE—“Yes, it does
—and that’s just the idea of the new
rates. Any extra electricity you buy
comes to you at real BARGAIN
PRICES. The more you use, the cheaper
it gets.”
■ MRS. JONES—“I’m certainly glad to
know that something is getting cheaper
these days. It seems to me that now is
a mighty good time to talk to Mr. Jones
about my new electric range. It looks as
if I can afford it at last.”
