{ -hristianity'8 Present Goal - .' .. GEORGE E. GUILTE * : sion Departant. Moody to Institute. Chicago. TDXT.-Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the - doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for tear of the Jews, came Jegus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them. Peace be unto you. And when -he had so said, he showed unto them his -hands and his side.--John 20:19-20. - This scene, over which the spirit of God so lovingly lint ers, represents what we may call the present goal { .s of Clristianity, 'E for it is the mnodel for eve'ry Qssen binge of the . ' {:Y d"Lord's beople. A pr es.nt goal there is for us, lust as there is a future ono. What is that goal toward which our pilgrim feet are pressing? It is What Is set forth in that line in II Thess. 2:1: "Our gathering together unto Him." To be withHiIm and to see His face forever ! The ppeseiit goal, then, Is just the anitlcipa.on of that. Tt Is any gathering of the saints now, .md their risen Lord. Let us ob rve some of the outstanding features .' this scene and see how they por :ay the blessings awaiting us, upon :very occasion of "our gathering to gether." 1. Resurrection it the ground upon which the disciples iment. Mary's tes timony to the resurrection of Christ brings them together upon tuis first day of the week. It is an eighth day--a number in Scripture that speaks of resurrection and of new creation. And it is thus that we are to assemble ourselves together upon the Lord's Day. Not uA Baptists or Presbyterians, but as a company of risen saints for whom death and judg ment are forever past. 2. And .here is He? He is where He declared He would be-"in the midst." "Where two or three are gathered together (not where "they - gather") unto My nama, there am I in the midst." The spirit of GIod is the convener of such assemblies, and He will gather the saints to one cen ter only-that -center Is the person of the risen Christ. "Crine Jesus and stood in the midst" and said "Peace." 8. Peace, then, is to tark thr. muRn ering of His people, HIs own peace I Locked doors cannot kaep Him away from His own, but dis eace can. ds harmony can, a marpot can! If He is there, there is peneo. Peace has been made by the death of the Cross and He comes to proelaim it. "And wheni He had so said, He showed unto them His hands and His side" the marks of that death by which peace has been made. vhy this? It is eloquent of t's desire that when IHis eet together they shall not death. The ere thing never in heaven Is the one thing d have us rememn'jer here. *ed the only thing that He ed us to commtemora te: His "This do In remembrance of Me." And it Is as we are gathered aroundl Him at- Is table that we truly anticipate the day wheni "lHe shall [present us to Himeelf." In in stituting that memorial feast, lie said: 'U "I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that (lay when I drink it new with y'ou In my Fa 4 ~ 4 ther's kIngdom."

R E'Elt ENCE MAT11tlA L--Matt. 1:18; 2:23. PRIMARY TOPIC-The Boy Jesus. JUNIOR 'I.PIC-'rhe Boyhood of Jesus. INTIlltMEDIATEa AND SENIOR TOPIC -Jesus at ilom and at School. YOUNG PECOPLle AND ADULT TOPIC -The Religious 'T'raining of the Young. I. The Birth of Jesus (vv. 1-7). 1. Time of (vv. 1-3). It was at a time when the Jews were coining un der the Ioman power. It was sa most propitious time for the introduction of the gospel. The whole world was un der one rule, making it possible for ministers to go from place to place easily and without molestation. 2. Place of (vv. 4-0). Bethlehem, as the prophet had foretold 700 years before (Micah 5:2). God moved the emperor to enforce the decree of taxation in time to cause Mary to be at Bethlehem. 3. Circumstances of (v. 7). ills sur roundings were of the most humble sort. The Almighty Creator conde scended to take upon himself human ity-to be born in a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor that none might be. hindered from coming to Him. II. The Birth of Jesus Announced (vv. 8-20). 1. To Whom (vv. 8, 0). The shep herds who were watching over their flocks -by night. The glorious gospel message was first given ,.to laboring men. 2. By Whom (v. 0). The first gospel sermon was preached by the angel of the Lord. The angels have part In making known the gospel to lost men. These glorious beings no doubt deeply sympathize with fallen, sin-cursed men. 8. The Nature of the Message (vv. 10.14). It was good. tidings of great joy. It was good tidings because the way of salvation was about to he opened for all-Jew and Gentile. So glorious was this news that a multi tude of the heavenly host accompanied it with a song of praise. It is through Jesus Christ that God's kindness and good will ai'e made known to man. 4. The Shepherds Witnessing (vv. 15-20). They made a prompt investiga tion of the angel's message. Ill. The Child Jesus Growing (vv. 40-52). Jesus Christ was divine, but Ills deity did iot interfere with His devel opment as a human being. The proc esses of--his physical, meiftal and spir itual growth were the same as those of any normal human being. 1. Jesus Tarrying Behind at Jerusa lem (vv. 40-48). At the age of twelve years a Jewish child took his place as a worshIper in the temple, for lhe was c'onslideredl a "child of the law." Being conseious of Ils mIssion when Ils mother and JTosephi were returning from attendance at the Passover, Jesus tarried behInd to enter the temple anmd Inquire into the meaning of the ordi nances of God's house. 2. Jesus Found In the Temple (yv. 44-47). When His mother and Joseph had gone sonie distanice on their jour necy they perceivedl that Jesus was missing and sought for Him among theIr kinsfolk and acquaintances. Not finding Him there they returned to Jerusalem, where they foun'd Im in the temple. (1) H~e was "slttir~g" (v-. 46), showing that lHe was no p~assinig visitor or sightseer. He was perfectly at hionie in His Father's house. (2) IHe was "hearing" (v. 46). He was hearing the teachers of God's Word. This shows that lHe was eager to learn God's will. (3) He asked questions (v. 46). Hit growing mind was inquisi tiv'e. It more than receIved what wa taught ;it Inqiuired after. (4) H~e em sweredI questions (v. 47). Is answers showed great wisdom, such as to as tonish those who heard Hini. tet we should not nurmnise that lie was eon seiouisly dlisplayinig Is wisdom. It wans not an exhibit ion of His dIvine wisdom, but thle e'xpressioni of the workIngs of at per'fec't humaniti iminld suffused by thme Holy Spirlt. fi. Mary's Complalint (v., 48-50). She remtonist rated with hilm for His~ behavior. T1o t his lie replied in a dignilfied, yet tend'er mannier, lie made no apology, shiowing t hat le was more than the son of Mary. 4. JTesus' Obedience (v. 51). Though Hie was fully coniscious of Ijis divine b~eing and missIon, lie lived a life of filial obedience. 5. Jesus' Development (v. 52). (1) Mental. He "lncreased in wisdlom." (2) Physical. He "increased in stat ure." (3) Spiritual, Hie "increased in favor with God and mian." Wisdom to Be Desired. Wisdomi is better than rubles; and all the things that may be desired are not to be comparlied to it.-Proverbs 8:11. .The Truly Valiant.
