Our Cbrisluias season is a curious cotuiningilng of (Mirlstian and pngaii ccrenionlals. When Chrisllnnity was making slow headway against poly- llu'isiu, Uio early falliers of Ihe cliiireb

The early Christians did not special- ly celehriitp tlie nativity, hut regarded as more sacred tbe atiniveiKary ol Christ's D.'.ptiMii, as Ihe date on which Uis miulsiry liegan. 'I'lio iiislltulioti of the festival of Clnistums Is nltrll)- iited to ilc> Kn poror I'oniniodiis, and it was not nnlil A. I>. yse that Ijislorn churches genera Ily adii|iled it.

The old Viking ship which was re¬ cently discovered near Toensberg. fcweden, proves lo bo of greater archeological Interest tban was at tint supposed. Althoiicb not as large M hr-d been expected it will bo Impoael- I'lp to transi'oit the vessel Intact to rhrisiiania. bnt it will be taken apart and again bc pnt together there, Tho »cssel. whirh had evidently belonged to some great sea king. Is richly oroa- mented .tnd contalna a number of in¬ teresting articles, among whlcb are a loom and some splendid woven tapet- trles, reminding very much of thoae o( Bayeux; a beautiful carved >lei(;h, many artistic implements and a rich¬ ly ornamented fonrwhecled carriage, all of which tend to show the hifh state of culture ot the Norwegian Vikings. Nearly everything, even the tapestries, is well preserved, thonsb rrof. Gustafson, who has charge of the work of digging out the ship. It ot tbe opinion that the vessel wU btiiU before the time of Harold Haar- fagre: that is to say, more than eleraa centuries ago.

we set apart Tlinnkstiving as a day of gratllnile nnd giving thanks for the bounlifiil gifts of the oarih.
.Mi Christian nations observe Christ¬ nias. It is a weii-nigli nnivi'rsal hol¬ iday. Snnie of lis keep it In spirit; there are few who do not keeji It in the lelter. The mysteries lie-in weeks prior to its entuiiig; we plan the Chrisl¬ nuis surprises, priictice self-denial to swell our I'liristmas fund, or give our time to the making of gifts, tbat we may filly celebrate Its annual return.
There Is somethiiig alinut the senniii that inclines Ibe beart to generosity. We want to make others happy. We bi'din prndeiitlj-set a limit to onr ex- peiidiluri'i'. and declare "Ilms far nn.l not a dnllar nver." Ilut "the loving and giving" spirit grows apio'e. We are teiiipteil; there are so many lovely things in Ihe stores, so many expedi¬ ents to wile tlie cash from onr purses .lust ns long ns we keep nnr motives pure nnd lilgli. and don't lef tbem de¬ scend to the level of n "liarga.n conu ter Christmas." mir Jny In Cliristmns is renl.

T.    (irent daiknoss (vs. 1, '.'1.    1.    "NeT'
rrllieless,"    .\  tinnsition  word   from  tha
dark picture of chapter 8:S'2'2, describing
the woes from Assyrian predominance to
tbe bright dawn and conaunimatiou of the
Messianic era.    'Shall not ue such."    The
darkness shall net be ss great as it haa
been.    Tliere was a my of encourageaaenk
for those who were readv to receive th*
prophet's word,   "Zebuliin,"   The couBtiy
of G.ililrc nround the Sen of (Ulilee wa*
the land that priiuipally luHcred in th*
tirat Ass.rrian nivaaion.
2. "The people—ill darkness." The peo» pic of iludah, Thev were at Ihia time l»> dcr a twofold darknesa, I. The darlUMM of OUl wnnl trouhle, .See 2 Kings 15:37; Itl 4-8, 17; 2 Chron. 28:,')-», 2. Tliey were iw< ninrul darkness. Abas had leil tne peopl* into tbe most sboniinable practice* la honor of tho heallien divinities whoaa worship he bad established in his kingdoOi The worship of Molcrh, the savage god al Amnion, waa uon established, not onljr 00 the heights of Olivet, hut iu the vallejr Of >linnom, on a spot known by tbe name of Tnphct. close under the.,walls cf Jerusalem. There the hraseii statue of the god waa erected, with ihe furnace within or at hia feet, into which the children were thrown (3 Kings 16). Superstitions appeared ia every part of the country. Uold aud ailrcr alatues glittered throughout Judnh. Sooth* . aayera, spirits, ghosts were consulted (lat. 2:8, 8, 20; 8:19). Finally, towardi the clot* of the 1   '

U. A treat light (va.'.>-5). 2. "A mat ligbt." The sudden change from dent* darkness to the shining light whieti tlw
firophrt uw is quite remarkable.    Wkat   >. ight was this?    Hie promiie of redemp- tion; the prospect o{ the coming of lB> manuel.
3. "Halt multiplied the nation." laaiak with prophetic eye pierces the centurica and sees the hosts that would come under ' the reign of the Messiah and be numberad with the true ipiritiial Israel. "And not increased." See R, V. for correct render* ing. "They joy before Thee." The prophet notes it to be a icliiiioua joy becaua* It i* aaid to be befnre (Jod—that is, in Hia pr«» ence and with a grateful acknowMfl>, ment of His beneflti. _   _.
«. "Thou hut broken the jroka." Tk* .Tews were successively delivered from tk* burdensome and galling yoke of tbe A*> Syrians, Chaldeans, Persitna and Meet* doniaoi; but theae deliverance! wer* otaf a shadow of redemption from tha MM , of Satan; and that redemption aeemtlMt* especially "ledieled as if already aeooBi* phshed, "As in the day of Midian." Af Gideon with a handful of men conqMred the holla of Midian, so Mewiab, lh* "child" (T. e), shall prove to b* tk* "Prince of Peace," and the amall COM* pany under him shall overcame the niflktf hosts of antichrist. See the aame eon- traat in Micah t!:2-S.
5. "For every battle." It wat tb* tat, torn of antiquity to pile the arms of pnir trate enemies, the spoils of less value, aM '' their Fpotted garments, into a heap aM then burn them. All that bclonga to war ahall be swept away: the war itaelf ahall die. The Messiah abolishct all war, but not nntil His foes are either swept away by His judgments or melted into penitence aM won over to submission bv Hia love.
III. A vision of the Heisiah (v. •).   A   . "Unto ns,"    The  prophet apake of tk* predicted blessings aa if already eommiilU*   :. cated.   Angels ssy, "Unto you," but tkl4 child was born for the benefit of at ttoiu    , of ut tinners, of all believert, to tb* oat

"A son waa giTaa." fiod's gratuitous gift, upon whlCD Ota had no claim (.lohn 3:It), A gift et tow, of joy, of universal fitness to our natdt, of eternal cnricliinunt. of forever incnta- ing value; and this gift iniuret all otktr gifts (Rom. 8:32), As Son of man JttM was "a child born;" as Son of Ood R* wa* a "Son given." fiovernment." "Th* e»" sign of government, the scepter, tM sword, or key. was borne upon or koM from the shoulder. All government tkaB be vested in Him." "Hit name."

But things incomprelwntlbl* are not incredible. AJI divine worka am wonderful. There are marvels enoaat m a drop of water to bewilder the wiaatt. "OonaoUor."
