In the measure that the peo

the state and communities should 1

under a democracy to pressure
groups. The more of our gov
ernment we handle at home in
the states, the counties and our
township and cities the less sub
ject we will be to the domination
of pressure groups. There is a
real danger here if we, the peo-!
pie, can but see it before it is too
late. Pressure groups are on the
increase and pressure groups are
not concerned with the general
good or the general welfare.
They are concerned only with
their own narrow selfish inter
ests. It was to things like this
that some one years ago referred
when he said, eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.

Men are called to risk their,
lives in the service of their coun-i
try. If they refuse they are im
prisoned, if they desert they may
be shot or forever disgraced. But
men called upon to produce am
munition and equipment without 1
which soldiers cannot fight, may
sit down, they may strike. They
may howl for more pay and
shorter hours or quarrel over
petty jurisdictional disputes. All
honor to the millions of loyal pa-!
triotic workers who are n o t
guilty of such treason, but in all
fairness soldiers and munition
workers should be treated more
nearly on the same level. The
fact that a worker belongs to !
some organization should not
give him greater privileges than
are enjoyed by the man who is
called to wear the uniform of
country, leave his home and
friends, and risk his life and
health and future in the mud |
and slime of a foreign battle-;
field. It isn’t just. It isn’t fair,
it isn’t American. ’ ‘

LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2:1323
GOLDEN TEXT— Behold. I am with thee,
and will keep thee In all place! whither
thou goeit.—Gencsla 28:18.
Matthew is the Gospel of the King
and His kingdom. It stresses the
fulfillment of prophecy in the com
ing of Christ, the King. After His
rejection, it tells us of the Church,
“the kingdom in mystery," and of
the death of Christ for our sins, His
resurrection for our justification,
and His glorious coming again.
This then is an important book
which we study for the next three
months. Teacher and student alike
should be enthusiastic and expect
ant.
The genealogy of the King, and
the story of His coming to earth as
the babe of Bethlehem (both impor
tant matters), are covered in chap
ter I. In our lesson we find Him
as a little child. Observe how man
received Him, and how God cored
for Him. Without assigning definite
verses to our points we note that:
I. Men Received or Rejected
Jesus.
It has always been so. Men, then
as now, were either for Him or
against Him. The world or today is
far different from that of the first
century, but the difference is all oa
the outside. Almost breath-taking
have been the developments of mod
ern science, but these have not
changed the heart of man. He still
fears and hates and fights and sins.
His attitude toward Christ is un- j
changed. There ore still only tw*
classes of people in the world—those |
who have received Christ and are j
saved, and those who have rejected
Him and are lost.
1. Men Are Against Christ.
How do men show their rejection of
God’s Son? Just as they did at
His birth, by;
a. Pear. Herod was afraid lest
the coming of this One should result |
in the loss of his ill-gotten gains.
His anger and fear made all Jeru
salem afraid.
b. Indifference. When the Wise
Men asked where Christ was to be
born, the priests and scribes knew
exactly where to find the facts in the
Holy Scriptures, but having done so,
they relapsed into utter indifference.
They had no interest in the fulfill
ment of the prophecy.
c. Hatred. Herod poured out the !
violence of his heart by killing the
first-born. He was the first of many j
who have raged against the Christ j
in futile anger.
d. Sorrow. The tears of the moth- 1
ers of Jerusalem but foreshadowed !
the weeping and wailing which char- j
acterizes Christ-rejection both in I
time and eternity.
2. Men Arc For Christ.
Thanks be to God, there were
those in that day who were for |
Christ and, like those who follow |
Him today, they showed:
a. Spirituality. Men have mar
veled that the Magi knew of the i
birth of Christ. They must have
studied (he prophecies of the Word
mid been responsive to the teach
ing and moving of the Holy Spirit.
Can we say as much for ourselves?
b. Interest. Not content to know
and to marvel, they shamed the j
priests of Israel by their persistent
interest in this great thing which
had come to pass.
c. Love. They brought themselves
in worship and they brought rich
gifts from their treasures. You can
give .without loving, but you cannot
love without giving.
d. Action. They came. They per
sisted until they found the Christ.
Then they listened to God and pro
tected His Son by not returning to
Herod.
11. God Protected and Prepared
Jesus.
The ruin which sin had brought
into the world could only be met by
redemption which Christ had com®
to bring. Some men had already
| shown their hatred for Jesus and
their rejection of Him. But God still
ruled, and for the sake of those wh®
j received Him (and would receive
! Him in all the centuries since), He
kept the Child Jesus from harm. We
| find Him:
1. Protecting Jesus. Men may
hate and seek to destroy God’s Son.
Satan may inspire them with ingen
uity and cunning. But see how the
Eternal One spoke to Joseph in
dreams, how He prepared a place
of refuge in Egypt and ultimately
in Nazareth, where the boy Jesus
might increase in wisdom and stat
ure and favor with God and man.
2. Preparing Jesus. God knew of
the days of public ministry which
were ahead, and above all, of that
day when on Golgotha’s hill Christ
w r as, in His own body, to prepare
salvation for you and for me. God
is never taken by surprise. He
moves forward to the completion of
His plan with the stately tread of
eternity.
He took Jesus to Egypt. He
brought Him again to Nazareth. In
it all He was preparing His Son
for the days of ministry which were
ahead. All this was in fulfillment of
prophecy (see vv. 15, 17). God’s
Word is always sure.

! Christmas Rose Is Hellebore
Christmas Rose is the name popu
larly ascribed to the Helleborus <ni
ger black hellebore) because it
blooms around the Christmas sea
son, sometimes under the snow. It
is also called the winter rose and
sometimes Lenten rose as it blooms
in the spring in some localities, and
in the fall in other sections. The
flowers, nearly 2Vi inches wide, are
I white or pinkish-green and are found
j in southern and central Europe.
Same Old Santa
I Same old Santa, same old joys,
Same old dolls and sleds and toys;
Same old holly, same old tree,
Same old gifts for cherubs wee;
Same old carol, same old light,
Same old stockings hung at night;
Same old words of merry cheer,
Same good wishes for the year.
Same old Christmas! Seems to me
That’s the way it ought to be.
Christmas Tax
Greeks in the southwestern part
of their peninsula dive into the wa
ters of the harbor to recover a wood
en cross thrown in by the archbish
op. The villager who recovers the
crucifix has the right to levy a small
Christmas tax upon each home in
1 the village.
LOOKING AHEAD
•
Some foresighted business men paint a glowing picture
of the future. Some are not so optimistic, but until YE
Day we look for little change in present conditions.
Farm Equipment will be more critical, labor' less avail
able, and demands for farm commodities are constant
ly increasing.
Farmers have done a swell job in meeting the needs for
food and feed with ever decreasing facilities. They have
accepted the challenge laid down and have been vic
torious in the fight.
See us for your Farm Needs and bring us your
i Farm Commodities,
Don’t wait until you need Fertilizer and Soda—as labor
conditions are bad, but give us your orders now and take
it out if you can. We are stocking all we can to prevent
delay in the busy season.
We will have a good stock of horse drawn equipment
and a fair supply of tractors and tractor equipment, so tell
us your needs and we .will supply if possible.
We are here to serve you and will appreciate your
calling on us.
Yours for better business,
Geo. C. Nunn & Son

welcome.

ter things to come. We want to express our apprecia
tion to each of you for having contributed in such an
important way to our continued success in this
