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."
