The Priest Surprised. During the supreme hour of his life | the righteous Zacharias was surprised to see another person standing on t.hei right side of the altar.

Rev. George M. Cummings will conduct the services morning and eve- ning. In the morning he will preach day. The priest, pleading for the peo- ple, was surprised when God's messen- ger whispered to him, “Thy prayer is heard.” God through a special repre- | sentative assured . Zacharias that the reproach upon his wife would be re-| moved and their hearts filled with joy. ‘The silence of the bells upon the priests’ garments, united with the long delay of Zacharias in finishing the sac- rifices, had filled the multitude with alarm. Pinally he emerged from per-| forming his duty. He lifted his hands to pronounce the benediction, but hel was speechless. The promised gift of | & son, who was to be named John, an abbreviation of Jehovah-honan, mean- | ing God's gift, had been too good to be | true, and Zacharias asked for a sign| that his promised son would be| equipped from his birth with the Holy Spirit and live the life of a Nazarene. He doubted that the son would be given and that he would be great in the sight of the Lord. He questioned the assur- ance that through his promised son prophecy would be revived. In that brief interview Zacharias was given a sign, one that prohibited his serving longer as a priest, for he was stricken with dumbness. The people had detected the evidence of some supernatural experience, just as the two attendants, who returned to light the lamps, which had been left unlighted, observed the appearance, agi- tation, and attitude of Zacharias. They tarried in wonder while the multi- tude waited anxiously for the priest's return. They realized, as did the peo- ple by this changed expression and his sudden loss of speech, that he had seen & spiritual vision while he was engaged in the performance of his duty. He| dismissed them with signs. The Promise Fulfilled. Zacharias returned to his mountain home. Although he was silent in speech, the aged saints had lived so long together that it did not require any vocal communication between the priest and his wife for her to under- stand the joy'ul news given to Zacha- rias within the Temple by a servant | of Jehovah. The sacred writer has passed over in silence the first interview and much that Zacharias told his noble wife. Luke, however, takes us back to | the prenatal days which preceded the birth of John the Baptist so shat we | might understand the fact, that in the beginning of his career, we must go | back of parentage and sce the presence, purpose, and power of Jehovah. Luke tells us about the visit of Mary, the virgin selected to be the Mother of the Lord Jesus, and the inspiration that | enabled Elizabeth to recognize Mary as the Messiah's Mother and speak the first benediction of the New Testament. The mutual joy that filled their hearts | could only be understood by a mother’s sympathy and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
