Th hmsi dtmbh frews) sues. "JMficaaOr Siena ins est est OmsAs mm4 CAicsge This hymn which ZacharUs sang at the circumcision and naming of his son John the Baptist has for its theme the divine redemption. Not naturally so, for it was a priest In Israel who sang a priest whose whole life was given to mediatorial words and acts, and who by divine appoint- ment offered sacrifices for men that they might, be-oome acceptable to God. The fesrful waste of human sin, and thy wondrous mystery pf God's mer- cy, tho possibility ot man's repentance and the certainty of the divine forgiveness, these and like matters made the basis of his thinking and of his doing. And then, just at the moment when ha had performed the greatest priestly act of his life in officiating at the altar of Incense, he had been vouchsafed some clearer and nearer view of the Coming One, the Perfect Priest, whom his own, and indeed all priesthood, did but symbolise.

He wag beholding aa If la its realisation the hope of the coming" of htm- who should bring perfect remission, a mighty ANGELIC ANNVXCIATIOX. He saw In the angelic annunciation not only the 5 primary department ot St- James fact of the divine redemption made complete, but his mT- Hrt own share In it the birth of his own son who should go before the Lord to prepare his way. And so with that priesthood of his own forming norm of his thinking, with that vision of the coming Perfect Prteat, and his own son's share in the, redemption to be brought, be bursts forth as if in a Jewish benediction, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and redeemed His people, and hath raised up a mighty salvation for us in the house of His servant David, aa Hs spake by the mouth of His holy prophets which have been since the world began." In that first strophy Zacharlaa sings his theme, the divine redemption, and then- one after another he strikes the high notes of that redemption. In form almost follows, one of the most ancient prayers of Israel, the so-called eighteen eulogies, but It Is more than-a mere repetition or imitation. It Is as though In the silent months he had pondered ancient words and saw Ifcelr mors spiritual import, their hope realised.

thelr. faith fulfilled. ti PATRIOT'S HOPE. Th second strophy tells of tha patriot's hops for the restoration of -Ms own people; the patriot priest's certainty that Gad will remember His holy oovenant sworn to ths fathers. Hers' In a few phrases is gathered all the hope and longine; and prayer of ancient psalmlBt and prophet, arid all for which the ritual of sacrifice had stood as that looked toward ths nation's welfare.

But it was no mere temporal and earthy benefit of which this priest sanf. Not simply the change from Roman rule, "not just ease from struggls, quietness after fear. He goea on to ths higher conception, or rather to the explanation of what redemption means. Bo hs relates holiness in living, righteousness In wor- ship, earnestness In service. Here Is the proper bending of the temporal to the uses of ths soul; the earth brought In subjection to heaven.

And so always the divine salvation means not only ease and quietness, but chiefly Jt mesns energUlng. It is a call to llvs more truly, to worship more, earnsstly, to serve mora sealousfy. SPIRIT AI. ATTAINMENTS. Even then Zacharlas could not stop.

He must go on to slhg still further spiritual attainments which are their own reward. Of knowl. edge and perfect remission; of tender mercy In God's visitation; of light in darkness, and the guiding of our feet Into tha ways of peace. So would the benedictus leave us in contemplation of our Lord's abiding presence, where there is peace forever more. The church would utter its praise of ths gospel and its thanks to God for His wonderful gift of Himself; for forgiveness, peace and all the total glory, which floods human life because Christ came to earth.

And It is in the very words of Zacharlas that the church's praise and thanksgiving for the gospel Is set forth. Hera is summarised '-t once the longing for the divine redemption and a certainty of it, and tjie meaning and Issues of It And as the words sound forth continually" they make one more token that the holy church throughout aU the world and throughout all the ages is one body in Christ who in His coming brought God's mighty salvation to men, and through His church perpetuates the glory and the power of that redemption.
