SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC?Permar sent World Peace .When the Prince oi Peace Shall Reign. ? - ,v On this Christmas occasion let. lis take a forward look Into the golden age which Is ahead of us. It is ths time of which the wise of all ages hhve spoken and-the poets have sung. It will not he brought about-through improved social conditions or even s League of Nations, but by the personal coming and reign of the Prince N of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the kingdom which Daniel said the God of heaven sbopid set up (Dan. 2:44,45; 7:13, 14). I. The Lineage fof the King (v. 1). Pie is oi royal stock, the seed of David. His birth took place nearly 2,000 years ago. This Christmas season Is a memorial of 1L II. The Gifts and Power of the King (V. 2). j These result from the resting upon him or the Spirit of the Lord. Because of this endowment he is equipped to administer the affairs of the kingdom. A sixfold characterization of the Splr^ it's gifts shows the completeness of the equipment. 1. The Spirit of the Lord. This : title shows that he is to be qualified v ' for his work by divine inspiration. ' 2. The spirit of wisdom. He is omniscient Only a king of such wisdom can rule over the whole earth. & The spirit of understanding. This understanding, coupled with wisdom, gives discernment' and discrimination. 4. The spirit of counsel. This means,, doubtless, the gift of making derisions. 5. The spirit of might. This means the ability to execute his decisions. Decisions would be of little value 'without the ability to execute them. 6. The spirit of knowledge. This refers to his reverent attitude toward God. 111. The Nature er Character of the King's Rule (w. 8-6). X. A quick understanding in the fear of the Lord. He will have ability guickly to discern Godly fear in the human heart. 2. Ah unerring Judgment. He will hot Indce after anDearances. 8. Ability to render decision# according to the merits Of t?e case. His decisions will not be biuepd on hearsay, nor on plausibility, but on first-hand knowledge. 4.' Impartial judgment of the poor. The time is coming when the poor will get Justice. 5. Reproof with equity for the meek. Jesus Said that the meek shall Inherit the earth. 8. Re shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth. When he comes the earth will be utterly wicked. Apostasy will be manifest "on every hand. His blessed reign will be ushered in by t!he judgment of the nations (Matt. 85:81-46). IV. The Harmony and Peace of the Kingdom (vr. 6-0). This harmony will prevail In the relationship of men and will be extended to the animal kingdom. War Will be no more. The cow and the bear will feed together; the lion will at straw, not flesh. The sucking child win sport with the most deadly serpent. Paradise will indped be restored. This will be made possible through the personal reign of the Messiah in Jerusalem, (v. 0). V. How the Kingdom Will Be Set Up <TV. 10-18). 1. The elevation of the King (v. 10). His elevation will be a sign to the nations; to this sign they will respond. The only way to bring unity among the nations is to exalt Jesus Christ 2. The regatherlng of Israel (vv. 11, 12). Out from the nations of the earth Israel will be gathered. Israel and Jndah will unite under the one king In the city of Jerusalem. 8. Envy will disappear from Ephraim nil Ttutolt /*r 1Q\ IITIiaw ? ?mu wvuu<i \f? AU/? TTUCU U1CJT BCV IllUi and are joined, to him the tribal antipathy will disappear. 4. There Will be physical changes which will alter the surface of the earth (w. 15. 16). When redemption will have been completed not only the spirits of men will be in accord, but there will be harmony in the animal " world, and changes will be brought about in the earth Itself which will make it lit for the conditions under which men will then live.

' V ' SAYS CLOTHING PRICES arc going era*) high Kit, According to predictions made yesterday by meratirs of the National Association of Wholesale Clothiers and Tailors, now holding its annual meeting at Chicago, the winter and early spring are likely to bring still highpr prices in clothing, so that popular-priced suits which sold for $25 before the war and now retail for $50 will cost $60 or mdre next springThe reason given for this big jump in the price of clothing is said to be wage increases of nearly 200 per cent, scarcity. of raw material; plentiful money; demoralisation of the clothing industry incident to the army demands for uniforms 'during the war; and shortajre of labor due to the stODDaae of wholesale Immigration.
