Iet us bear in mind that the coming of jesus was the one event for which God had been ureDarins since the beirinninit, He had established a nation to receive and Introduce Him, had trained thru nation had instituted form'of worshiD and cultur. and had told the people through preachers called propheta. oil that they needed to know In order to he ready for Him.

Then Jesus came, was hated by evil doers, was trained la a quiet home, learned in syna eogue, school and in the temple at Jeru- saieim and, when the time came, entered on his work of saving men and recon structlnir the worid for God. He was the only normal bor that ever lived and be cause He was that way He is trying to normalize every other child. He will do so It they put themselves Into His hands. 3. The Ministry of That Forerunner.

Lake 3. He demanded two things of people that they turn from sin and that they show they have done so by being; baptized and llvinjr an amended life "bring forth fruits He haii two great powers. He so preached that he awoke an acute sense of need in people till they cried out in agony, asking what to do, and he? so dealt with each one as tc show him his special needs and to reveal to him his Savior from sin. 4. The Way Jem Was Tried Out.

Luke 4. He was tempted. Everybody Is, has tc be. When you make any advance and pain anything you are then tried out as to wha you will do with It. When Jesus was baptised and was given a special enduement of the Spirit's power He was tested as tr how He would think about It and how use It.

Shall He use It on Himself as in turning stones lnt" bread, or shall'. He use it In a compact with the devil to gain instantly what He would otherwise have to gain by suffering and the cross, or shal He use it to captivate the people by a brilliant miracle like leaping frem the pinnacle? The enemy tried to get Him to misuse It, but failed. I Sober Wo-ld. 6. The dream of a sober world was expressed by Isaiah and has been expressed by- lofty souls ever since.

The unthinkable Inhumanity c' Pcecitvjr rne-ruin the manhood so essential in a government was expressed by Lord Chesterfield Jrt an address to the fcnglish house of lords: "Luxury, my lords, is to Ae taxed Cut vice Would you levy a tlx on tin breach of the Ten Commandments?

Annual reviews stress the substantial recovery from previous depression lhat has occurred in most markets, and the results of 122, in various respects, were better than had been generally anticipated. Despite the contraction in export trade, the point has been reached in different basic industries where production is at a high level, while orders already booked insure active operations for some time ahead. Even at this holiday season, which traditionally la a quiet period, new demand has been of sizeable dimensions in certain Important instances. and shutdowns at mills and factories have been of much shorter duration than usual. Existing conditions In iron j.nd steel afford convincing evidence of tne cnaracter of the business revival, and more frequent reports are heard of a shortage of workers in that quarter and in some other branches of manufacture.

With the fuller employ- mciiL ui lanor. tne public purchasing capacity naturally has been appreciably augmented and this phase found reflection in the heavy Christ mas, turnover. weeKiy bank clearings MBTAI, MARKET. NRW YORK. Dec.

In the last six months, the output of the Pennsylvania shops increased to such an extent that the number of freight cars requiring repairs was reduced to about 9 per cent of the total number owned by the company. In November the daily average number of cars awaiting repairs in the company's shops was 11,614 than In June. In June there were 36 670 cars awaiting repairs. The number increased slightly in July and August, but it was reduced to less than the June figure in September and October, and in November reached the low figure of CNION PACIFIC'S PACE. John D.

Carter, general agent for the Union Pacific system in Pittsburgh, has been advised of the principal items that enter into an expenditure of during 1922, i reflecting efforts of this system to keep pace with the growing needs of transportation served by it. Sonie of these new and added facilities are: Fourteen all steel dining 'cars. 1,000 all steel auto cars, 1.500 double sheathed auto cars, 2.000 double sheathed box cars, 20 all steel 70 foot coaches. 25 all steel 70 foot baggage cars, 50 locomotives, 100 tank cars, 50 caboose cars.

and at other points. New passenger stations at Sterling, Cheyenne, Wyo. Kearney, West Yellowstone, Caliente, and Yermo Cal. The Union Pacific system plans to continue their improvements and will add new facilities during 1923 for the handling of ever-increasing passenger and freight traffic: 0 CATTLE FEED CUT. The Interstate Commerce Commission has refused to order railroads serving the northwest section of Texas to make emergency reductions on rates ion feed, which were sought by the livestock producers.

While conditions of drought in the territory have been such as to make a reduction desirable to assist cattle producers to maintain their breeding sock, the present rates in themselves are justified, the decision said, by the costs of the transportation service rendered. At the same time railroads which resisted the application of the cattle producers should consider the advisability of making voluntary reductions, the commission declared, which, though they might cause some losses to the railroads for the time being, would justify themselves the end by stimulating and maintaining the industry. The railroads were requested to give further consideration to the proposal. OFFICE FOR MEXICAN LINES. E.

He teaches you to be more exacting with yourself than with anybody tb do more than Is required rather than less, to suffer Iijury rat.ier -hn inflict It. to refrain from censoring Jadirments, make your in.ercgrt in yourself the standard of your interest in others. It is positive rather than negative, not sinvply to retrain from doing to others what jou would not want them to do to you but to do to them what you would like them to do ta you. 8.

The Mnnfr'i Great Friend is Jesus. Luke 7. It was possible for a stnnln woman to train His kindness. One even crept Into the place where He whs at dinner with norat. proud people wro wanted to drive her awa and she ahowed her penitence by her tear and her act of service to Him In washing His weary, dustv feet.

He knew how to forsrlv. To forgive debts Is to secure the gratitude of the debitors in pmjiortion to the amounts forgiven. We sll have been forgiven much and must therefore love Him much. leans the Great Missionary. 9.

And Jesus wtis the great too, to the home field, and even to the ends of the earth; Lnkn 8. He went to the most unfortunate at home. He went to the outlying lands, to the Oergasenes. He spoke t. the demoniac and sHntty ettme.

His last words to His disciple when he left the earth were that they must hunt up every man and woman and chi in the world and tell them of Him and get them to accept Him. We are still at it and He Is leading us. Judaon Pud Cary and Morrison and Livingstone and all the rest of them are simply doing what He told us all to do. America is as much f'hr'mion as she is today because she has sought to Christ the rest of the word. Fnpand and America are the two most Christian nattons of the whole earth becauso they have led the world in mlss'ons.

giving ten-elevenths of ail the money to that work and rending more than that proportion of al' the workers to distant lands. As He said to the cleansed demoniac os He says you: "Go home to thy friend and tell them what Kreat thincs the Ixwd has done fcr thee and hath hod compassion on thee." 10. He Sends Ont Missionaries. I.uke 10. It is an Interesting fact that when His work grew ho great and His disciples were trained.

He multiplied Himself by sending them out two by two to do the same sort of work He was doing. Two things the present day disciples must keep In mind, that they must work the works of Christ and must do so in co-operation with each other. Tho first time orriy the 12 were tar enough along for such work; Wen ,0 wre ready; today everybody is to go or md a representative. 11. The Good Samaritan.

I.uke 10. fut In Vancouver I heard trainmen talk brutaily to some Hindus. We think 111 of races. Jesus says the man who Is In i need of our kindness is entit'ed to it and ia a neighbor, even though of a hated nation even as a Samaritan who hated the Jew "topped to do fpersona' ktndness to an unfortunate Jew who had been robbed and had been neglected by his own race. Your neigh bor Is anyone who has need or you.

13. Jesus Hud Friends and lie Had toes. Luke 10. He did three things for His friends as In he ease of the family ot Bethany where He was so often entertained. He approached them, imparted His wealth of truth and love them and sometimes reouKea tnem.

as -ie lid Martha, for being obeessed by th inner s5e was getting Him, Instead of un derstanding her own deepest needs and ratifying His loving desire to Help ner. How did He treat His foes? He tried to win them. but. knowing when He hod fai ed. warned and denounced them in ways that till warn His foes.

Trost and Preparedness. 13. He gives us a lesson In trust and pre paredness Luke 13 in a parable of a man was rich ana failed to Know the oppor tunity it gave hira. That Is a common enough sin. wealth is a beneficent power that will become vicious if not used right.

He teils us that lilies and ravens are adapted by their creator to their conditions and God loves us better still and could not neglect us. If we put the first thing first hK the rest will come as a result. Seek God first. President J. K- Marthens presiding.

It came by wav of the Pa nama Canal in a ship equipped with cooling rooms. The cargo of "4.714 boxes, was shinned from Seattle. Tort'and.

7 POINT BREEZE CHURCH. "The Devil's Pawnshop" Is the subject ber, being reported only 5 per cent below the high record in October, and substantially higher than corresponding months in previous years. Despite the heavy demand, the rail lines were said he meeting the call for cars bec-use of great decrease in the number under repairs. Labor shortages were reported in some localities, the review stated. that the demand for, workers at most industrial establishments seemed to be Increasing.

The shortages were found largely among steel and textile mills and building contractors, but there was said to be some surplU' of common labor in the eastern section of the nation. Wholesale trade felt the usual seasonal slump but it was not regarded as serious because of the other healthy conditions, and" large Christmas sales obviously had tended to dep'ete retail stocks. The wholesale trade, therefore, was expected to pick up appreciably at once. The volume of payments by check, ordinarily a measure of business turn over decreased sl.ghtly in every Reserve district except Atlanta, ihe board said. For 140 reporting cities the total number of checks was 'I per cent lower than in October, but approximately 10 cents higher than in November last year.
