The Colored American Magazine for December contains, among other good things, a scholarly article by Mr. Milliam Murray on "Lincoln and Its President." The article is accompanied by an unusually fine cut of Dr. Allen. Last Sunday we visited the Sacred Concert at Douglas hall, and are pleased to say it was excellent. The attendance was large, and the music rendered was enjoyed by all. Several numbers were applauded the second time, and every one listened as intently as the first time. The concert was an excellent one, and it was enjoyed by all who attended. Rev. E. C. Cole, pastor of the First Baptist church, gave an account of his travels in England last August. It was quite interesting and worthy of being delivered at all times. Rev. Cole spoke with such ease and so fluently, and his attitude and gestures were so perfect, as to cause comment and admiration of all.

The studious pupil in Lincoln Institute has passed through a week of rare enjoyment in testing his newly acquired power and skill in the various departments of work in which he has been submitted to examinations. He is now ready to enjoy, just as fully and completely, the innocent sports and pastimes incident to the Christmas holiday; and Tuesday morning, January 2, 1906, D. V., will be at his desk bright and early, ready to begin the work of the second term with still greater zest and enthusiasm, because of a few days of well earned change of activity. Dr. Allen recently addressed a large and very appreciative audience in Olivet Baptist church, Chicago, Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor. So well pleased were those in charge that, then and there, they desired to make a second appointment at an early date. Among the promoters of the first and of the second movement we note Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams and Lawyer William Martin, both formerly students in Lincoln Institute, and now classed with leading professional men of Chicago. Lincoln may well be proud of the success these progressive gentlemen and others of her brilliant sons and daughters are making in their respective lines of work. Mr. Seamon Hill, of the same class, sends word from Haskell, Indian Territory, where he has an excellent school, that he is much interested in his work, and is reading and studying daily with a fixed purpose in view. His brother, Lawyer Richard Hill, of Beggs, Indian Territory, would be pleased to correspond with farmers of the Negro race who desire to buy or to lease lands in the territory. He ST.

He at once caught my attention, and my eyes were bent with intent gaze on this black Gilmore. We have seen many leaders of bands, but never have we seen a man have control of his men so perfectly. By the motion of his hand or his attitude, different parts of the band would cease playing or start, just as the signal indicated. He was applauded and applauded because of his graceful attitude. "The Thunder Storm" was the most harmonious distinct piece of music we have ever heard, and it seemed as if his actions spoke louder than words. When the last piece was played we regretted to leave the 'hall; but we at once baptized Prof. Blue as the black Gilmore of the twentieth century. Of course, praise is due the entire band, yet Prof. Blue was the pivot on which all moved. Prof. Jas. W. Grant deserves much credit for his part in the concert, and also Mr. Julius A. K. Flicklin. Next Sunday Mr. Marion Reedy, editor of the Mirror, will address the audience. It is undoubtedly accredited that Mr. Reedy is the most fearless editor in this country. Also our Jno. Freeman will appear. The entertainment given last Monday night was indeed a pleasant affair, and every one enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. We saw a few curious things, but nothing out of the ordinary. We noticed the dashing Mrs. Carrie Allen and Mrs. Mary White, of 1418 Pine street. These ladies are always to the front, and they make things happy and lively around them. Mr. A. L. L. —, a masonic brother, whose wife would rather like the devil than the Palladium man, was there, and he is the liveliest man that we have ever seen. He tried the patience of two ladies. Oh, if that wife and daughter had been there. Well, you know. Mrs. M. Jordan and her husband were looking after the interest of the hungry, and they did well. Mrs. Trice is young, pretty and has some of this world's goods, yet she is an exception among widows. Mrs. Stevenson is as gay as a girl of 16, and said old A. L. L——tried to make her dance.

Bolden, of 711 Rutger street, departed this life Monday, the 18th, after a few days' illness. She leaves to mourn her loss one daughter, two sons, one son-in-law and a host of friends. She was buried from the First Baptist church Thursday, the 21st. Mrs. Bolden's pastor, Rev. E. C. Cole, being out of the city, Rev. S. P. Anderson, pastor of Antioch church, kindly officiated. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends. Mothers' Meeting. A largely attended "Mothers' Meeting" was held at Attuck school Friday afternoon of last week. The assembled mothers were addressed by Mrs. S. P. Vashon, national superintendent of Mothers' clubs, and Mrs. Rev. Geo. E. Stevens. Refreshments were served by the parents' association connected with Attucks school, of which Mrs. Mary Beaumont is president. Gone South. Mrs. Julia Gillispie, of 413 Colorado avenue, and Mrs. M. A.

To be a model dinner, the hostess requires a perfectly appointed table, well cooked, tempting food, and the correct serving of the same. In selecting her decorations she should consider the size of the table and the number of the guests. If the table be small every effort should be bent toward making it appear large and well filled. The favors can be of good size and the decorations numerous and of a nature that would look fussy upon a more sizable table. If the table be large and the guests numerous, the effort should be to make it look smaller. This is done by keeping it plain and by arranging the trimimings high. Avoid overcw- MOTHERS M. H. H. ing a large table, for the plainer the better, providing there be a certain degree or prettiness. Christmas dinners come late on Christmas day, whether it be a noon-day dinner, which is served at three o'clock, or a dinner at s.x. In either case, the light falls before the dinner is over, and there must be artificial light. It is a pretty plan to set the table with candles and to light them in the middle of the dinner. A good time for this is when the turkey is taken off and the dessert brought in. The service at each plate for an informal family dinner consists of a plate, a large dinner napkin, folded square, a water tumbler, two knives—one steel knife and one butter spreader—and two forks, one shorter than the other; also two teaspoons. ordmary dinner—they serving of the feast. It is a time-honored on the turkey on the tageets come in, or to ducks, the geese, the rye the loin of pork—whate Christmas bird. But in these later a pered days the stomach the sudden plunge into the palate demands a soup, fish, and goodness all! The roast comes with a green salad and with the r beries. If the turkey must be the beginning to the en plan to place him upon Here he can be carved. Upon the table At unusually formal dinners bread and butter is not served, and so the "butter spreader" can be done away with. The matter of individual salts and peppers depends upon the custom of the household. It is perfectly good form to have them on the table, and, if it is the family custom to do so, they need not be dispensed with on Christmas day. Let the table be set in the family manner, and then go about the deco- WHERE THE KE GRO WHERE THE KENTUCKY HOLLY GROWS A Have you ever stopped to consider where all the holly and laurel, so popular for decorating the homes during the Christmas season, come from? Comparatively few persons to whom this question might be put would be able to answer it. A great quantity of it comes from Kentucky. During practically the entire month of December the mountaineers of eastern Kentucky, with their wives and children, are busy gathering the boughs of holly, with their pretty red berries, and it is shipped to dealers in all the principal cities throughout the country. As a rule it takes all the help available to supply the enormous demand. Have only two on it, the others on and of inferior demands that the fresh and studded native mountain to the shippers of the trees like squirrel limbs and squirrel ground, where the dren hold them and green boughs. Great difficulty shippers in getting shipping point and crated, for a the mountain roadable for heavy te The holly of eastern Kentucky is the finest in the world. It is the most perfect green and is usually loaded down with the beautiful red berries. At the same time it is the most difficult to gather, for the reason that the little trees grow in the most inaccessible places. Sometimes a tree will rations. It is a nice practice to place a trifle at each plate in the way of a favor—a card bearing an inscription, a little basket of flowers, a rose, a pretty vinalgrette, a silver card case, or a date book, or a calendar for 1906. Special Christmas souvenirs are also good. Tiny stockings can be filled with presents; there can be little Christmas trees or branches of holly. Or in the middle of the table can set a Christmas tree loaded with candles and tinsel and holding little gifts for each one. One of the most decorative ways to finish a table is with ribbons strung from the chandelier in such a way as to reach the plates. To the end of each ribbon can be attached a gift. When the company is seated—and in the seating there should be the same attention to couples as at an 100 ordinary dinner—then comes the serving of the feast. It is a time-honored custom to place the turkey on the table before the guests come in, or to set forth the ducks, the geese, the roast of beef, or the loin of pork—whatever may be the Christmas bird. But in these later and more pampered days the stomach rebels against the sudden plunge into the roast, and the palate demands a relish—oysters, soup, fish, and goodness knows what all! The roast comes later, flanked with a green salad and with vegetables and with the mound of cranberries. If the turkey must be present from the beginning to the end, it is a wise plan to place him upon a side table. Here he can be carved and distributed. Upon the table he is always in the way, and there is no room nor comfort for the carver. He, if he so please, can exhibit his skill from a side table, and the guests can be served by a serving maid who will carry the plates around. Every Christmas dinner must have its touch of holly, every dinner its bit of green, every Christmas dinner its Christmas motto in one form or another, and every Christmas dinner must have its own peculiar menu. KENTUCKY HOLLY OWS have only two or three good boughs on it, the others being scant of foliage and of inferior color, and the trade demands that the boughs shall be full, fresh and studded with berries. The native mountain boys are invaluable to the shippers of holly. They climb the trees like squirrels, run out on the limbs and bend them down to the ground, where the women and children hold them and strip them of their green boughs. Great difficulty is experienced by the shippers in getting the holly to the shipping point after it has been cut and crated, for at this time of year the mountain roads are almost impassable for heavy teams. The boxes of holly are often brought to the station by small boys on crude sleds made by their own hands. To the average mountaineer the holly is not a thing of beauty, and as for decorating their houses for Christmas, such a thing is not to be thought of.

The encroaching boldness of sin has awakened the ministers of St Louis from their compromising in- dulgence of evil in high places, Wick- edness, because it nas been tolerared, and winked at, has crawted up ino the cradle of Christianity, and d= mands that it be rocked, encowaged and petted, the same ay the child of religion. It clothes itself in religious garb, and demav'ts tar it be let alone simply for the sake of the attire in which it stalks about in the com- munity. Its right to live is claimed from the fact that it can appear as an “angel of light.” It popularizes it self under false pretenses and witn the influence of leading ministers and laymen of the “best type.” But from the ring of the sentences ot the various ministers of all denominations, the time has come to call a halt to lending their influence to the undermining work pf the true principles of Christianity. Hence, on last Monday, at the Central Baptist church, the following named preach- ers met and organized an Inter- denominational Alliance to do battle against sin, unitedly. Not to oppose any person or persons, but to oppose what they conceive to be sin in any: Reverends W. C. Williams, E. C. Cole, B. W. Stewart, W. D. Venable, W. D. Cook, Geo. E.’ Stevens, E. P. Giger, David Johnson, J. A. Winters, T. R Granger, J. L. Washington, S. A. Love, P. Thurman, B. Conway, J. J. Hawkins, M. T. Downey, R. H. C. TO OUR FRIENDS. Another year as passed, and again ‘the holy season of Christmas is at ‘hand, a time fraught with so much joy, io much happiness for many, yet so large a number are deprived of its es- pecial worldly advantages. Of the lat- ter class are those whom a Divine Providence has committed to our care; dependent on His holy will are we, and they upon the tender charity of kindly disposed persons. We are employed in educating, main- taining and protecting COLORED OR- PHANS, IRRESPECTIVE OF CREED; rearing them in the fear of the Lord; giving to them the rudiments of an education, and as well training them Year.” He also wishes to extend thanks to the public in general for its hearty support. We are now entering in the twenty-second year of publication. Sydnor, A. Yancy, EB. S. Brown, J. W. Powell, J. C. Martin, J. G. Styles, J. H, Hawkins, E, G. Goldsby, J. Arnold, L. P. Luke, W. 8. Slatter, John Par- ker, BE. B. Cheatam, 8. W. Parr, R. E. Gillam, J. L. Cohron and Mr. E. Thompson, of the Y. M. C. A. ‘The committee appointed drafted and offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, There is a tendency to desecrate the Sabbath by introducing many sinful diversions, such as Sun- day excursions, beer drinking, wine parties, card playing, theater-going, club meetings, buying and selling, dancing academies, charity _ balls, church dancing, picnics, the so-called “saered concerts,” and all kindred evils, ‘Therefore, be it resolved, That we are uncompromisingly opposed to these treacherous sins, that are being popularized by some of the “up-to- date-would-belleaders.” We deplore the fact that some of our teachers, lawyers, doctors and all our editors are giving their influence to the promotion of these evils among us. We are glad to record that all the above-named ministers pledged them- selves to stand by their condemna- tion of the abovenamed evils. Next meeting at St. Paul A. M.

We have no means of support savo through charity bestowed; being as we are, largely dependent on moneys and alms received daily through the solicitation of our sisters. So great have been the demands up- on us for the caring of our youthful charges, that we have been compelled to erect a new building at a cost of sixteen thousand dollars, increasing our capacity to the care of eighty chil- dren. To the end that we may be re- lieved of the burden of the debt im- posed in the erection of the said build- ing, and to properly maintain, educate ETT Antioch Church Notes. Rey, S.

Selections from Good Authors on the Goodness of all things, Sweetness of Women and Folly of Men. No woman can be true to her sex and live to be over forty. Uneasy lies the female head that wears no new Easter bonnet. After man came woman, and she has been after him ever since. Most women nowadays are are fair in proportion as they are false. The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats. Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch. The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger it looks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust. If you want to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one when you really need it. When a man finds his clothes are too loose, he should either change tailors or his boarding place. Some women are both good and true —but most of them are too good to be true. Eve originated the Serpentine dance when she waltzed out of the Garden of Eden. This is a tough world for women at best. They must either marry or be come old maids. More or less, all men have rode in their own carriage, when their mother pushed it along. Some are now riding the mule in the Palladium. A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin. Clothes may not make the man, but it is useless to create a disturbance by going around without them. A man's curiosity never reaches the feminine standpoint until someone tells him that his was in the St. Louis Palladium, then he buys two. Woman loves man and the dear fellow can't help it. She bosses him and the old fool doesn't know it. GRAND BAL SUNNY MACK—Treasurer. Will give their 14th Annual Ball at Masonic Temple, 10th and Market Streets, Christmas Night.

My back was very lame and ached if I over exerted myself in the years ago I was suffering very much through the failure of the kidneys to eliminate the uric acid from my system. My back was very lame and ached if I over exerted myself in the least degree. At times I was weighed down with a feeling of languor and depression and suffered continually from annoying irregularities of the kidney secretions. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. I found prompt relief from the aching and lameness in my back, and by the time I had taken three boxes I was cured of all irregularities." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Real Irish Whisky. In a prosecution in London concerning the sale of alleged "Irish whisky," one of the witnesses, chairman of the Dublin county council, apparently called as an expert, testified that Irish whisky "should be made from Irish cereals, by Irishr-wn, in an Irish pot-still in Ireland." Pot-still whisky is passed through charcoal. Jollier. High—So you have given up your high ambitions and are going to follow a routine life?

Several British shipbuilding firms have been asked by the admiralty to bid for an experimental torpedo boat destroyer, having a speed of 36 knots (411% miles) an hour. At the present moment the Velox, speed 33.64 knots, is the fastest boat in the British navy. Workhouse Industry. The inmates of the St. George's workhouse, Southwark, London, have made 11.464 useful articles of clothing during the last 12 months, while at the same time repairing some 600 articles. The industry saved the rate-payers a substantial sum of money. Easy Money. Two street peddlers in Bradford, England, bought a horse for $11.25. It was killed by a motor car one day and the owner paid them $115 for the loss. Thereupon a new industry sprang up on the roads of England. Fault in Statue. Thornycroft's statue of Gladstone, recently erected in London, shows four fingers on the figure's left hand.

Spencer, living in Marlon county, South Carolina, is a living daughter of a revolutionary soldier, Capt. Stephen Godbold, one of Marion's men, and was born on October 3, 1832. Unique Event. When about to be married, a young woman in Westphalia discovered that her birth had never been registered, and so her birth and marriage were announced simultaneously. Bride at Right. In Jewish marriages the bride always stands at the right hand of the groom. With every other nation of the world her place in the ceremony is at the left.

On the sand ridge above the road was the Coquina hotel, isolated and lacking paint, but having a reputation for good viands and excellent table service. It was popular with those who desired quiet and bathing, and there were even now a number enjoying the surf just as though it were not the day before Christmas, and along the beach between them and the hotel were a dozen or more children, some playing in the water and some in the sand. Mrs. Bigelow Stevens paused, and gazed at them with dimming eyes. She had lost her own little girl but a few months before, and for that reason she was here; not to forget, but to find new scenes to awaken her interest. Presently a child of five or six separated from her companions, and came racing up the beach in pursuit of a hat which was rolling merrily along before a gust of wind. Mrs. Stevens reached out her parasol and intercepted the runaway. "Thank you!" gasped the little girl, out of breath, but looking up with a roguish smile on her bright face. "I shall whip it when I get home." Then, instead of returning to her companions, she grasped a finger of her new friend. "May I walk with you?" she asked, beginning to swing along as though the permission was granted. She was silent for some minutes, her lips tremulous with recollections of the past, and during that time the little girl made excursions from her finger to investigate escaping crabs and curious shells, and even the last efforts of waves that sent long lines of shallow water curving up toward their feet. At length Mrs. Stevens' lips grew firmer, and she looked down. "I suppose your mother is here," she said. The child-in her turn became grave. "I haven't any mamma," she answered; "and my papa doesn't walk with me like he used to." She hesitated a little, and then went on, with childish frankness: "He—he talks loud to me sometimes, and his face gets red, and—and he strikes me. I don't have anybody to play with now." That evening Mr. Stevens was looking over some new curiosities he had purchased. He did not care much for such things, but this winter he was trying to cultivate an enthusiasm for them in hope of interesting his wife. "There are some really fine Florida sketches in that studio in the new block," he said, presently, looking up from a nautilus shell he had been examining. "One of them will make a nice souvenir of Ormond. However, if you do not care for them, you may select anything else you like. This year I am going to give you two presents—my usual one and one of your own choosing as an Ormond souvenir." He turned back to his shell, only to raise his head again quickly. "By the way, I forgot to tell you about a man I met on the street to-day. You remember Seaton, the bookkeeper, who ran away with $2,000?" "Well, it was he, but so changed I hardly recognized the man. In his case, crime has certainly proved its own punishment. Two years ago he was reckless, but was very scrupulous about his personal appearance; now he is only a slovenly, red-faced toper." Mr. Stevens paused, and ran his fingers through his hair in an irritable, disgusted sort of way. "It isn't the man I care for," he grumbled, "but a fellow of his stamp seems to drag so much good into the mire with him. Fortunately his wife is dead, but there is a child left." "Did you have him arrested?" Mrs. Stevens asked. "No; what was the use?" a little apologetically. "He has gone through the money—and through himself almost. When he saw me he was too scared to speak, and just stood there trembling. I asked a few questions and found that the money was all gone and that he owed a month's board at the Coquina. He even confessed that he was thinking of running away and leaving the child." "How old is the child?" Mrs. Stevens asked, eagerly. "Oh, five or six; and she is a very nice little girl." Mrs. Stevens rose from her chair with an unwonted light in her eyes. "Yes, she is a nice little girl. Now may I hold you to your word, and take whatever; I like for my present—my Christmas souvenir?" "Why, certainly, dear," with glad tenderness, as he detected he new interest in her eyes and voice "whatever you like." "Then I will take the little girl to be our own." He half rose in his astonishment, but the look on her face prevented even the appearance of expostulation. "Very well, dear," he said, "we will go for her in the morning."--Farm and Flieside. A Christmas Angel By DOROTHY DEAN HE angel's name was Rosy. Most days she was just an ordinary little girl, but on Christmas eve she was to be an angel. Nate Downey brought her to the door, and then went on to his brother Tom's. He had some business to talk over. Tom's women folks would be at the church to-night; it would be a the church was all HE angel's name was Rosy. Most days she was just an ordinary little girl, but on Christmas eve she was to be an angel. Nate Downey brought her to the door, and then went on to his brother Tom's. He had some business to talk over. Tom's women folks would be at the church to-night; it would be a good chance. The church was all trimmed with wreaths of evergreen and festoons of cedar, with mottoes and silver stars. There was a mysterious green curtain across one end of the platform, and now and then a young lady peeped from behind it with a very important face. Rosy was all wrapped up in a great fur cloak, but, oh! what a radiant white vision was hidden under that cloak! Because, as I said, Rosy was to be an angel, and it was Christmas eve. The church was full of happy people. She nestled down quietly in a corner, her part would not come for a long time. By and by she fell to wondering about the Christmas angels—if they would come to night across the fields. She had a great mind to go and see. She could slip out of the little door behind the curtain and nobody would know. So she gathered her fur cloak around her and slipped out into the snow. It was so white and still out there; the stars shone down at her; she was not afraid. The fields stretched away before her in wide, white silence, and she went away through a little hollow and across a pasture field. It was growing cold and she shivered under her fur cloak, but she did so want to see if we angels came. She wondered if there would be any little girl angels like her, and if she would hear them sing. She wondered which way they would come, and which was the star the wise men followed. Maybe she knew she might follow it, too, and find the little Christ-child, for had not they told her aunt He was on earth still? That one great star in the east, could it be the one? It was so bright she would follow it and see. It must be nearly time for the angels to come. Presently she began to wonder which way she had come. The fields were wide and white about her, rising winds lifted tiny whirls of snow and twisted them into garlands and then dropped them gently. She shivered with the cold. Somewhere lay home, and the warm, bright church, and she could not tell which way. She looked up at the stars, but they seemed so far away, and the Christmas angels did not come. She would sing; maybe they would hear, and tell her which way to go. It was ten o'clock when Nate Downey started home across the fields. It was neaver that way; he would stop at the church for Rosy. Tom and he had quarreled that night, something about the river meadow, and he walked on moodily, forgetting all about the blessed Christmasmide, and the baby Peace that came to earth on Christmas night so long ago. All at once he stood still and listened. Somewhere out of the dim starlight a voice sang, faint and far. "Peace on earth," it sang, "peace and good-will." He remembered that it was Christmas eve. "Peace and good-will," sang the voice, blown a little farther by the wind. It was Rosy's song; what did it mean? The father's lip trembled a little. Rosy must be singing her song now in the church; what did it mean that he should hear it hers? Was anything wrong with the child—his little pet daughter? The wind blew the sound to him again faintly. "Peace and good-will, good-will to men!" Might it not be a message to him? Perhaps after all he had been rash and hasty with Tom; Tom was a good man. He would see him again to-morrow. The voice came again, a little nearer; surely it was a voice, a child's voice, and there was the sound of a rob in it—it was Rosy's voice! Nate Downey hurried on. The wind tossed the snow in his face, clouds were drifting up from the west, and blotting out the stars. He called finally across the field: "Rosy! Rosy!" the wind caught the name as it left his lips and tossed it away. The little voice sang no more. Only the wind kept up its swift minor swell, and went on heaping little mounds in the corners. A great fear was in his heart. He called again. Oh there! whence came the little voice that cried sobbingly: "Papa, oh, papa!" He sprang forward eagerly, calling again and again, and each time the little voice answered, till at last he had his own little daughter in his arms; the little Christmas angel who had come through the snow to him with her message of peace. Nate Downey stopped a minute at the door of the church to let them know. Rosy was fast asleep in his arms; she stirred a little, half wakened by the lights and voices, and murmured drowsily the words of her Christmas song: "Peace and good-will, good-will to open!"—Rura, New Yorker CHARACTER OF THE MESSIAH Sunday School Lesson for Dec.24,1905 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Isaiah 9:1-7; Memory verse, 6. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins."—Matt. 1:21. TIME.—The prophet Isaiah spoke the words of this prophecy during the reign of Ahaz, the father of Hezekiah, B. C. 785- 726. PLACE.—At Jerusalem, the home of the prophet. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "Nevertheless," or "But." Having tried to depict the spiritual darkness of idolatry (8:20-22), the prophet turns, with this word, to prescat a contrast. We will best understand it from the revised version rendering: "Dimness," or "gloom." Alluding to the political and spiritual darkness of the time referred to: "Afflicted." the time referred to. "Amitted, . . . brought into contempt," etc. The thought of the old rendering seems to be that the ravages of the enemy grew ever worse and worse, but the revision rendering turns the thought to the time when what was once contemptible shall be made glorious. "Zebulun, Naphtalte." The names of the tribes to whom the northern section of the land had been assigned are given to indicate what was later known as Upper and Lower Galilee. It was in this very region, upon which the darkness first settled, that the light first shone, for Jesus was reared in Galilee, and there wrought his first miracle, and there did his most successful work. "By the way of the sea." Probably the region along the west side of the Sea of Galilee is meant. V. 2. "People that walked in darkness." People of Judah. "Darkness" is an expressive term for evil of every sort, for sin beclouds the mind and blinds the heart. "Walked." Were living. "Have seen a great light." The "prophetic future" is used, the prophet speaking as if what he foretold were already accomplished. There is no human soul so dark, from ignorance or sin, but the light of Jesus can penetrate its gloom. "Shadow of death." The shadow of moral and spiritual death, as well as national disintegration, rested upon Israel at this time. V. 3. "Multiplied the nation." This cannot refer to any remarkable increase in Judah's population, but rather turns our attention to the fact that the Kingdom of God, once represented by the Jewish people alone, now includes men of every race. Moreover, Christianity tends to longevity. The next clause is best in revised version, "Thou has increased their joy." The people shall have increased comfort and prosperity. V. 4. "Broken the yoke." The yoke is a common figure of subjection. As God released his people from the yoke their oppressors at times put upon them, so Christ releases his redeemed ones from captivity to satan. "Staff of his shoulder." The part of the yoke which rested on the shoulders. On each end of this a heavy load hung. The taxation levied by a conqueror was often thought of as a yoke. "Rod of the oppressor." It was not uncommon for captives to be beaten with heavy goads. V. 5. Read in the revised version. "Armor, garments, blood." All the horrors commonly seen in war. "Shall be for burning." They shall be utterly destroyed, because war shall cease. V. 6. "Unto us." For our benefit. "A child is born." The great Deliverer will come to earth as a babe, born of a human mother. "A son is given." He is none other than the Son of God, given to us not only for the few short years he walked on earth, but as "God with us." to be our personal Friend and Helper to day. "Government." shoulder." One in authority carried his keys of office suspended over his shoulder. Jesus shall be King of men. "Name." What he is in person and character is revealed in the following words. It was customary with oriental kings to attach to their names a long list of laudatory epithets. But when one strives to tell the glories of Jesus, words can but feebly enumerate them. "Wonderful." Jesus is wonderful in his nature, in His words and works, and most wonderful in His boundless love. "Counsellor." He stands ready to use His perfect wisdom in our behalf, counseling us what steps to take. "The mighty God." He does not cease to be God by becoming man, but will ever be the equal of the Father. "Everlasting Father." V. 7. "Increase . . . no end." Christ's kingdom goes on increasing in numbers, power, influence and blessing.ness. One day He will reign supreme in all hearts. "The throne of David." Jesus was born, by lineal descent, of the family of David. The promises to David are fulfilled in Him. "Order it." Manage, wisely rule it. "With judgment and justice." King Jesus will render just decisions. "For ever." His kingdom will never end. "The zeal of the Lord." "That mixture of hot honor and affection to which 'jealousy,' in its good sense, comes near." Practical Points. V. 1. The blind walk in darkness at midday; so, many walk in spiritual darkness—1 John 1: 7. V. 2. The crowning evidence of God's love is its revelation to our hearts through Jesus Christ.—2 Cor. 4: 6. V. 4. Satan's yoke is broken from the shoulders of all who call upon Christ for deliverance.—Rom. 6: 14. V. 6. We may turn to Christ for counsel about the least as well as the most important steps.—Co. 2: 3. V. 6. Christ made peace, proclaimed peace, brings peace, bestows peace that passeth all understanding.—Eph. 2: 14 St.Jacobs Oil Q. Do physicians recognize this? A. Yes.
