, 9. “An , lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them. and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them, and they were
sore atraid.” Those ministering spirits
mover with us (Hob. l, H), having con,
stant access to heaven, listening to the
voice of God and doing His bldding(.\lath.
xviil. 10; Pa. clil, 20). There are several
causou of fear, ouch Illl sin, Ignorance and
superstition. but IiIn Iii back of all. With
our aim forgiven and 11801111111 of tho saiuo
t1 John 11, “Ian xIIIl, :25), and of tho
perfect love of God wunllalolill 1\, 18),
We should always sing, “I will trust and
not be afraid" (Ion xii,:.
10. “And the angel said unto them,
Fear not, for behold I bri you good tid-
Ings of mat joy, which'.uhall he to all
purple. " I would heartily urge upon every
believer a prayerful study of all the “tear
note" of the Bible, that than great joy
may come to you peruonnlly and then
through you to all whom you may reach.
The first one Is found In Gen. xi, where
we read for tho first time of righteousness
and ot sacrifice no the ground 0! all mour-
ance. Until we know Him III-tour right-
eousness wo have not received the good
tidings (lloin. x. 4).
11. ”For unto you Isborn this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord." Isaiah had written,
“Unto us a child is born, unto us a son 15
given" (Isa. ix, 6), and now 700
years the prophecy is literally fullllled. So
surely and lltcrnlly shall the rest- of Isa.
Ix, 6, ’i', be fulfilled In due time, bringing
mlvntion to all Israel and to all tho world. ,
This 15 Ht) Wilt was fort-tirtlullli'd before
the foundation the World, but in due
time made iimnit’est (1 Pet. 1, 20).
12. “And this shall be a sign unto you,
Yo shall find the babe wrapped in swath
tiling clothes, lying in a manger.” In a
manger because there was no room for
them In the IIIII (vcrz5o 7), See. how poor
Ho bccaiiio for lot that. we through His
poverty mightbo rich (II Cor. viii, ii). We
may well therefore “let our turn of mind
be free from the“ lovoot money; constant
with such things I15 we have; for Himself
hath said, I will in no wise fail thee,
neither will I in any wise forsake thee. So
that with good courage we may say, The
Lord Is my helper; I will not fear" Illcb.
XIII, 5, II, R. V. and margin).
13. ”And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of tho heavenly host."
John describes the multitude which be
pawns ten thousand times ten thou5und
and thousands of thoumnds (Her. v, 11).
Think alsool the host that cared for Elijah
(II Kings vi, 17), undo! the legions which
Jesus might have. had for tho asking,
“God for 11.5,” includes all the power-.5 at
His command. How can we fear?
14. "Praising (Sod and saying, Glory to
God In the higher-It, and on mirth more,

15. "Let us now go even unto Bethlc- ,
' hem. and see this thing which is come to '
puss, which the Lord lllll’ll intulc knmvn
unto us." Simply and delightfully they
believed God. They could say, "We have
known and believed" (I John iv,
Lord by the angels made them know, and
they simply retalived the message. It is
our privilege to believe all that God says ,
and thus make glad the heart of our Lord,
for He was surely glad when Ho said to '
His Father, “I have given unto them the
words which thou gravest inc, and they
have received thi m" (lohn xvii, a). .
