Text or the lance, Luke ll, ”dis-dism-
ory Verses. £7-32—Gelden Text. Luke ll,
Biweemmentary by the Rev. D. II.
Stuns.
25. “And, behold, there was a man in
Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. and
the same man was just and devout, wait-
ing for the consolation of Israel. And the
Holy Ghost was upon him." Even in
the darkest days God has always Bis faith-
ful ones, even though they be few,.such
as Abel, Enoch and Noah before the del-
uge; in later days a Caleb and Joshua, a
Gideon, and a Samuel, and en Elijah; in
the time of our lesson, his Simeons and
Aanas. See in Simeon, whose name sig-
nifles“hearing” or “obedient," an illus-
tration of our threefold salvation. He was
just, or righteous, as to his standing; de-
vout as to his life, and waiting oriook-
ing for the hope of Israel. Compare Titus
ii, 11-13; Rom. v, 1,2.
26. “And it was revealed unto him by
the Holy Ghost that he should not see
death before he had seen the Lord’s
Christ.” The Iloly Spirit is the great and
only teacher, and He is given unto us that
we may know the things that are freely
given to us of God (I Cor. ii, 11, 12). Je-
sus said that 110 would guide us into all
truth and show us things to come (John
xvi. 13).
27. “And he came by the Spirit into the
temple. And when the parents brought
lo. the child Jesus, to do for Him after the
custom of the law.” In these three sue
cessive verses we see Simeon, with the
Spirit upon him, taught by the Spirit. and
led by the Spirit, and the child of God can
desire nothing greater than to be always
filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Thus we would always speak right, set
right and be in the right place at the right?
time. The child Jesus would now be
aboutil weeks old, and the special law they
were fulfilling at this time is found in
Lev. xii.
28. “Then took he llim up in his arms
and blessed God and said.” Ilebelievcd
the Scriptures that God would raise up a
. prophet like unto Moses; that the prophet
would be born of a virgin, and that he
would be born in Bethlehem (Dent. xvili,
15, IS; Isa. vii, ll; Mic. v, 2 . Being
taught by the Spirit, he would also be fu-
miliar with Gabriel’s word to Daniel con-
cerning the time of himsiuh’s coming
(Dan. ix, 25) and was doubtless thinking
he might: possibly see it, when the Spirit
told him that he surely would, and now
he actually holds in his arms the seed of
the woman, the Deliverer promised 4,000
years lx-fore.
29. “Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant
depart in peace, according to Thy word.”
Only waiting to be called, ready at any
time to go, glad to wait to welcome the
Saviour, and now longing to be at rest.
.\'o fear nor doubt concerning the future,
for he know whom he believed (II Tim. i,
12), and he know that “absent from the
body" mount “present with the Lord" II
Cor. v, Ni. and that. “to (lie would )1:
gain” (Will. i, ill).
80. “For mino eyes have seen Thy salva-
tion." Jesus iiimsclf is that salvation,
even as the Spirit, through Isaiah, said,
“Behold, bind is my salvation" (isa. xii,
‘2). “Salvation is of the. Lord” (Jonah ii,
to, for lie alone. is its author. God so loved
the world that lie prove Ilia only begotten
Son. “Salvation is of the Jews" (John
iv, 1121, for of them came Jesus as the seed
of David, and as a nation they are dentin-
ed underdesus, their King. to fill the earth.

31. “Which Thou hast prepared before
the face of all people." When there was
none to help and none to uphold, llis own
arm brought salvation (Isa. lxiii, 5). lie
says, “I, even I, am the Lord, and beside
. In there is no Saviour" (lea. xiiii, ll.

any help from Adam or Eve, pn‘pured the,
coats of skins which clothed them and
taught them the way of redemption (nt’ll.

lie is the author and liuisbrr.
32. “A light to lighten the goodies,
and the glory of Thy people lsrucl.”
First as the glory of lsracl, for lie says, “i
will plum- salvation in Zion for Israel, my
glory" (inn. xlvi. ill). Then the Mt'lllllitti
shall come to her light, and kings to the
brightness of Ili'I' rising (Isa. Ix, 3). Thus
He shall in due time provelo be fora cov-
enant. of the pvupll', and for a light of the
goiitilos.
33. ”And Joseph and his mother mnr~
volcd at ililisn' things which \wrc spoken
of Him.” in verse ll) we are told that
Mary kept the words of the shepherds and
Imudered thorn in -bcr heart. See also
(vcrsofii) as to ill» own words at the ego
of 2. We may well marvel at the wonder
ful things said of us who bclievc iii Iliin.
but let us firmly believe them and [)Ollllt'l’
them daily in our hearts. For example,
not and mmlitate upon John xi, :35, no;
xv, it; xvii, 18.211124.
:54. “IIi'Iltllil this child in not for the fall
and rising again of many in Israel, and
far it sign which shall be spoken against. "
Thus spake Simeon to Mary on be blessed
her and Joseph. lie was only repeating
by the Spirit the words of Ian. viii, l4, 15'.
xxviii, lli,,,both of which passages Peter
quote” in I Pet. ii, M, Those who reject
Ilim stumble over lliin, while those who
accept lilin build upon Him as their euro
foundation.
85. “You, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also, that the thoughts of
many hearts may he revealed." The last
clause taken with the previous verse makes
Him the reverder of hearts, for lie is in-
deed the word of God, discerning the
thoughts and intents of the hearts (Heb.
iv, 12).
36. ”And there Was one Anna, is proph-
otele.” Think of Miriam and Deborah
and Iluldah and Philip’s daughtera, and
the promise yet to be fulfilled 31w. xv, 20;
Judy. iv, 4; nChmn.x.ulv, 2' :Aots and.

but served God with lasting- and prayers

made the house of God her dwolilng place.
We cannot all do that. but we can all make
God Himself our dwelling plaee(Ps. so. 1).

It was ‘by‘the molest accident that I
happened to hear the following distressing
conversation between young Mr. and Mrs.
Moonstruek. They had just returned from
their honeymoon and were about to un-
dergo the mortal agony of their first lepe-
ratien, for he was going back to his ofllbe
desk, there to remain for four long, weary,
dreadful hours.
“How ever shall I live a whole half day
without you, denrlei’" whispered Mm
Moon-truck.
“You won’t miss me so
darling!" ‘
“Miss you? 0):, Horses!"
"Ever and ever so much?"
"Every moment will seem an age!"
”My darling!" ,
i "And you will come home just as soon
as ever you can, deariei"
“You know that I will!"
"0h, Horace, I’m so glad!"
"Glad, you are, my dear little wifeyl"
“Yes, darling."
“I'm a thousand, thousand times glndl'
“ You old darling!”
“But now I really must gel"
“0h, Horace!"
“There, therel The little girl mustn’t
much, will you,
“I can’t help it, Horace. It’s so hard
to see you go. Why must we ever be sep-
arated a single hour? It is too cruel!"
“But I'll be back so soon. Be a brave
little woman. "
“Oh, Horace, I can’t!”
“But you must l’m not worth crying
for.” '
“Yes, you are too.”
“Indeed I am not, birdie."
"Indeed you are.”
“Well, well, sweetheart, I‘m oil now.
Just one more kiss. ”
He took a dozen and then gasped out:
“Just one more. "
“I’ve a mind to keep tight hold of you
Ind not let you go at all," she whispered.
“What Would you do with ugly old me
around all the time?”
“I'd be the happiest woman in all the
wide world. ’ ’
\tx()?fl
“I would!”
"You don't love me that. much?"
“Love you? Oh, liomocl"
”You little precious!"
"You dear old boy!"
"Goodby, darling. "
“Is it tiino for you to really go?"
“Indeed it is. (.ioodhy, birdie."
“Goodby, previous! Are you sure your
Watch isn't too flu-it?”
“Oh, it's just rightl
dour.”
“By by, darling. Como home just the
minute you can. "
“Yes, indccd. I'll run all the way. "
“You dour follow! Goodby. ”
“(limilby Throw me u kiss.”
"By by, my tron-sure boyi"
The door bangs, and I hear him go down
the steps, and I think the agony is ended
llc gmsout to the corner, walking back
ward half the way and fluttering his hand:
kerehlcf. I catch sight of n dainty little
bit of combric waving from a window be-
low my room, and I drop into my chair in
all the qucrulousncss and cynicism of my
old buclu-lorhood and say:

Such eminent authorities as Sir James

matter of weight there is a marked differ-

also that the female brain is smaller than
that of the male, and that, bulk for bulk.

fleet could silence the batteries of Alexan-

The defenses of Constantinople are enor-
mously superior to those of Alexandria,
and the Turkish ironclads cannot be left
altogether out of the reckoning, but even
if these are overcome the Turkish soldier
can be rolled on for obetlnaey in the defense
of a position. and the hostile mcnpation of
a town with a million of inhabitants in
not a task which a general on idiom would
