SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON For December 25th —Review GOLDEN TEXT: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 2:5. BY DR. MARIOS M'H. HULL. One of the evidences of the inspiration of the Bible is the fact the Holy Spirit has enabled the writers to express tn a short compass what would take pages to unfold. An illustration of this i« found in the verses .that constitute the golden text of the quarter. Paul under the guidance of the Spirit summed up here in a very brief compass all that we have been considering during the last three months, and a great deal more. All that Jesus suffered for us Is summed up in the humiliation that he allowed for ua. THE STEPB IN HIS HUMILIATION. If we study carefully the words that are spoken of His humiliation we shall see that there are at least seven steps in it, the highest being in heaven, the lowest in the depths of hell when he was God-forsaken. He was in the form of God; He was God Himself, fUr |,Ms is what the original language means: His first step downward waa to empty Him self; the second was to take upon Him self the form of a servant, and the Greek makes it more emphatic in saying a bond-servant; the' third was to take the likeness of man; the fourth to hum ble Himself, even as a man and take the poorest of homes as His own; the fifth was to become obedient; the sixth to become obedient unto death; the sev enth to become obedient to the most shameful death any one could suffer, the death on the cross. Shall we look at these a little more carefully? It was necessary that the first step be taken If any of the others were to follow; Jesus as a God alone could not have satisfied the demands of the situation; it was absolutely nec essary that He diveat Himself of all that made Him differ from us in order that He could be able to lift us up to the place from which we had fallen and to which God desired to restore us. So. deliberately laying aside all of the pow ers that belonged to Him as God, as well as all of the glory and honor. He took the first step that led to the place where He could satisfy all of the demands of the case and save us from ourselves. The second step was also necessary. It fol lowed the first naturally. He took upon him the form of a servant after He had laid aside the form of God; it was through the idea of a servant that He was to express the will of His Father and God, and carry out the plan that He had agreed upon with Him before the foundation of the world.' As a ser vant He might have taken the form of an archangel, but had He done so. He would not have been able to feel all of the temptations of men, and thus would not have been to us the perfect Saviour that He is; therefore He became in the likeness of men. He assumed our nature that He might know and feel all that we feel, that He might take our place ab solutely and suffer for us vicariously. As a man He took a lowly place. He might have lived in ail the wealth and luxury of the world. The silver and the gold were Hte, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. The earth is Jehovah’s and the fullness thereof. So that had He chosen to have it, there is nothing that could have been withheld from Him. In stead of this, however, He chose in be coming man, to come as the weak, help less infant of a family so poor they had to offer a dove as their offering, end to be satisfied with a stable for lodgings in the crowded village of Bethlehem; He chose as His home a little village that was so despised In the eyes of the -Jews that It had become a proverb for that which was undesirable; He chose a life that required hard labor to keep starva tion from the door; He chose one with- MUSEUM MAY GET SITE IN SPITE OF COURT CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—The greet Field museum of natural history, for the build ing of which the late M ars hßll Field be queathed $8,000,000, may grace Chicago’s lake front tn spite of the decision of the Illinois supreme court that It may not be located In or adjacent to Grant park, which was made by filling in 167 acres of Lake Michigan. But even whil e the champions of the museum and the fight for a site in Grant park were, saddened by the decision they were laying new plans. One which will be considered seriously is the filling in of the last front south of Park row and east of the Illinois Central railroad prop erty. Tt would be a continuation of Grant park and would constat of a plot of "made land” several blocks in length and of sufficient area to accommodate the big museum edifice. MACON WILL VOTE ON BIG BOND ISSUE MACON, Ga., Dec. 22.—0 n March 18 the citizens of Macon will vote for a bond issue of $900,000, with which the waterworks plant will be purchased. This will be the largest issue of bonds tn the history of the city. Only $699,000 will be required to buy the water plant, but the remainder will be needd for im provements. There Is hardly any doubt but that th« issue will carry. The sentiment is almost wholly tn fa vor of issuing the bonds and purchas ing the waterworks, owing to the present high rates charged by the Macon Gas Light and Water company. justice~nTcholls”will QUIT LOUISIANA COURT NEW ORLEANS.

He had not even the same claim to a home that the birds and foxes have. He was so poor during His ministry that Peter thought it necesary to explain His not paying the small coin that every Jew had to pay yearly as the temple tax. Yes. He humbled Himself. He might, have had everything that earth He actual ly took nothing. The next two steps were tn line with the former. He became obedient, first to His parents, then to the proper civil au thorities. He learned obedience through the things that He suffered, and became thus a perfect Captain for ns. knowing how to deliver us out of temptation, see ing that We had been tempted In aM points like we are, yet without sin. Hfs obedience extended even to death. He is the Prince of life. but He voluntarily gave up His life Death is only the re sult of sin. If there were no sin, there would be no death. 80 that when death came to Him who was sinless it was un natural, and can Only be accounted for by His statement that He gave up His life Voluntarily for His sheep. The deepest depths were reached when He died oh the cross. It was the most shameful death that could be inflicted. It was the mode of death of slaves who had sinned? The victim suffered physical tortures indescribable; but this was not all; he was stripped and hung naked before the gaze of every mocker who passed by. Jesus knew all the tor tures of the vilest criminal; and in addi tion He suffered what no other has—He was forsaken of God. separated from Him by my sin and yours. That cry on the cross came from the lowest depths of hell, where He had gone for us. The vilest sinner ry>w may have hope, for Jesus, our Substitute, has gone deeper than he. STEPS IN HIS EXALTATION. What a descent that was. from the helghth of heaven to the deepest depths of hell! And it was for you. But God exalted Him. As there were seven steps down, so ther% are seven up. God hath highly exalted Him by giving Him a name, that is above every name—that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, of things in earth, of things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess Him as Lord to the glory of God the Father. What a precious name is that! and it was won by Him through His humiliation. There’s nothin# higher in heaven than that. He reached the deepest depths of hell, but He had been exalted to the highest heights of heaven. Just her e is the practical lesson for you and me, for in this is revealed one of the fundamental laws, if not the fun damental law, of the kingdom—that ex altation comes through humiliation; that life comes through death; that getting come* through giving; that we save ourselves by spending ourselves. Ex cept a corn of wheat fall into the grouno and die—and die—it ab deth alone; but if it dies, it multiplies itself many fold. In producing other grains like itself. Jesus gave us an example that we should follow in His steps. Let this mind be in you which was also in Him, who hum bled Himself, and God exalted Him. There’s an unholy scramble for power and precedence and primacy amongst peo ple today. Have Hhr mind in you, humble yourself and God will exalt you; spend yourself and God will save you; die and die to self and to iln and God will give you eternal life. 'Follow Jesus.- This is my message to you on the day celebrated as His birthday.

It Is .planned to punish these Democrats ' by denying them fair consideration in i the assignment of committee places. | Congressman Brantley, of the Hth dis i trict, is now a member of the ways i and means committee. Because he voted i for a 6 per cent advalorem duty on lumber, it is proposed to beat him off the ways and means committee of the next house. He has been classed as an "undesirable” by some of the leaders, along with Congressman Pou, of North Carolina; Randell, of Texas; Broussard, of Louisiana, and others. Concerning tfiis announced purpose, 'Congressman Brantley today gave oust the following statement, which may be , taken as the forerunner of a warm 1 fight that is to follow: | "I voted for a small revenue duty on lumber amounting to about 6 per cent advalorem in a Republican tariff bill containing 30 to 90 per cent duties on everything the lumber manufacturer has to buy and similarly high duties on all building materials competing with lum ber. and then voted against the pass age of the bill. "If this record makes me ineligible to serve on the ways and means commit tee of a Democratic house, it makes ineligible to membership in the Demo cratic party a large proportion of my f constituency whose views I represent I and hold. It also excludes from the • councils and deliberations of the party, ( in its hour of opportunity some 35 or 10 Democrats of the present house who voted as I did. It does more than that, for it classes as ‘undesirable’ a large , body of present Democratic senators and draws the line against any consul tation or co-operation with them. A prescriptive policy‘such as this cannot. 1 it seems to me, spell either harmony or ’ victory in 1912. I A FOOLISH MOVE. *‘ln my judgment we would be foolish to close our eyes to the well known fact of some divergency of views on the tariff among Democrats. These dif ferences should be recognized by giving I them representation through conserva ; live, liberal-minded men on the commit tee, to the end that all views being represented on the committee an har monious agreement may be reached and a united front presented to the coun try. A policy that limits membership on the ways and means committee to those only who favor free raw mate : rial prescribing all others as ’undesira bles’ must lead to strife on the floor ! and in the country.” MOTHER DIES OF GRIEF OVER_DEATH OF SON NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Grief over the killing of her only son In the New York Central explosion on Monday is assigned! r.s the cause of the death of Mrs. Etta' 3.

Besides, a considerable amount of -sheet gold, about 100 gold crowns and pieces of bridge work, most of which were practically completed, were gone. The dentist’s los is about SI,OOO, while his customers are out about three times that amount.
