Golden _text—"Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart."—Luke, 11.19. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the representative mother of history. No other can ever surpass her position of eminence and honor. Her name has been venerated by people of all faiths. Poets have sought to interpret her char- acter in their poems. Painters have tried in their paintings of the Madonna | to perpetuate on canvas the beauty of her face and the glory of her soul Pri rs have tried to honor her mem- in their sermons. None have suc- eceded, as they wished, in portraying to the world the face that Jesus ‘saw when He opened His eyes in Bethle- hem’s manger and that throughout all His life in the flesh brought to Him a glimpse of Heaven by its holy loveliness and spiritual grace. No greater event ever took place in the history of all the ages than the birth of Christ. We owe to Luke, who traced with the skill of a scientist events to thelr origin, the story of the | prenatal days of the Lord, so that we might understand the beginning and certainty of the fundamental fact that believed by the early church. The cholce of Mary to be lifted up above all other mortals until she reached the highest honors open to & woman came to the young Nazareth maiden because of her piety, purity and personality. Her ancestral lineage, which the Jews at that period kept very carefully, accord- ing to Luke fulfilled the prophecies and promises required to make Jesus, ac- cording to the flesh, of the tribe of Judah and of the royal line of David. Divine Choice Confirmed. While it was the ambition of prob- ably every patriotic and religious Jew- ish woman to become the mother of the Messlah, when the news was announced to Mary by the angel Gabrie) that she had been chosen to be highly honored, we are told that “she was troubled his saying and she cast in her min what manner of salutation this should be.” Wonder and alarm filled the’ mind of Mary. In her bewilderment and dis- may her heavenly visitor did much to compose her troubled soul. He assured her that she had found favor with God. Her spiritual pleading for the coming of the Messiah had been answered. When she was assured of the Lord's program she submitted to the divine will in a spirit of meekness, obedience and love that established the greatness of her faith. The angel's reference to her ed cousin may have prompted the sudden trip to the city in the “hill country of Judea,” which journey the village maiden could not have taken without proper escort. Arriving at the home of the aged priest, Elizabeth confirmed the faith of the trusting young woman who, as the door of motherhood was opened to her, had to bear such a tremendous burden. Possible fear of shame and un- kindness may have hastened her flight Rev. Don Prank Fenn, Minneapolis, .; St 's, Aquasco, Right Rev. Samuel B. Booth, Bishop of Vermont, Holy Trinity, Collington, Rey.

The monthly meeting of the dio- cesan coaching class of the dzpariment of religious education of the se of Wi vill be h:ld October 19 at o ocloge o the hall of 8t to the one home where her experience would be understood by the silent Zacharias and his noble wife, who| greeted the arrival of Mary by recolmz; ing her as “the mother of my Lord,’ citing personal experiences that con- firmed Mary’s faith in Gabriel's message and assured her young relatives of the certainty of fulfiliment of God's promise. The reply of the blessed mother of our Lord to the comfort, consolation and cheer of Elizabeth shows Mary's | noble mind, which was so sensitive to | the highest thoughts, that she was| “visited by those profound thoughts | which have their home in the unseen and become the inspiration of un- worldly enthusiasm.” Her last fear had departed. Elizabeth had confirmed her | {alth, Her timidity gives place to cour- age. Her grateful soul breaks forth | into a song that ranks favorably with the nnblesz‘ lnfi,ienl. .ndun;;d':mhmfin; ‘This 01 ry reveal at she kne: the Go‘:l‘vhgm she had trusted. She had not studied the Scriptures in vain, for she speaks of Jehovah as gracious, omnipotent, holy, merciful and true. “She knew this God as one Whose strong arm is manifest in providence, | whose omniscience searches the imagi- | nation of the hearts of the wicked, | Whose fustice unseats the oppressor but | exalts the lowly and feeds the hungry —the God Whose name is the Helper. for “He hath holpen His people Israel.” History's Greatest Event. Her faith in God was answered by His revelation to Joseph. She was be- trothed to the just man, who was per- | plexed by the events that he could not | comprehend. She had intrusted to the | Lord the protection of her character | and life, which was endangered, as' “the penalty for infidelity to a be- trothed one, was death by summf. ac- cording to Jewish law.” It was al this | crisis that Gabriel visited Joseph and whispered in his ear, while he slept, the explanation of his perplexing problem, which harmonized with the predictio of Isaiah. Rejoicing over the revel tion, he took Mary to his home as his unsullied bride. The first trial in the long series of sorrowful experiences ended in a way to increase her faith and trust in Jehovah. She faced a new trial when Joseph and she were both forced to visit Beth- lehem to comply with the decree of Caesar Augustus “that all the world should be enrolled.” Ramsay has | pointed out that this enrollment, which | has been the subject of controversy | and question, has been confirmed by the accidental discovery of an Egyptian | manuscript, found in a rubbish heap in Egypt, and the inscription accidentally discovered on a stone in the City of | Venice, 50 that we know it was a census | taken every 14 years. Possibly as she | passed the tomb of Rachel on her way | o Bethelehem there may have come to | her a suggestion of her own poril. | When they reached Bethlehem they | found the village crowded. The inn was | ed. The only shelter available was a rough chamber, cut out of the cliff, | which was used as a stable. There the | Virgin Mary “brought forth her first- | born Son.” When the greatest event in history took place and God entered the human race in the form of the infant Jesus the blessed *mother tenderly | wrapped God's gift of love to the worid in swaddling clothes, possibly some she had prepared and embroidered upon | them the seal of David, and laid the | new-born King in the manger It was not long before the shepherds from the ancestral fields came and ' found the “Savior, Christ of the Lord,” and told her of the angels' message and the chorus of the heavenly host. While she was thinking over their visit and their sayings the wise men came to worship the new-born King, whose light they had seen in the east. They had followed the leadership of science, echolarship and the Scriptures until | “they saw the young child with Mary, His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him.” When the parents carried Jesus to Jerusalem to make the offerings_for Mary's purification and that of Christ Jesus their gifts revealed their poverty. The blessings of both aged Simeon and the prophetess Anna confirmed her faith and filled h-r with joy. There was one note of Simeon's that sent terror to her heart whenever | she recalled the sword that was to plerce her soul. Mother's Teaching and Trials. In their devotion to the young child and in obedience to the warning given to Joseph in a dream that confirmed the words of th: wise men they { hastened down into Egypt, where they remained until after the death of Herod, when they returned to Nazareth. While in Egypt Mary ecommenced ins | of compassion By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. come in contact with the sacred name of God, revealing His trust in the Divine watch care. She without doubt supplemented her instruction by stories of the nation's history that presented themselves to one's view from the heights about Nazareth, which furnishes one of the most impressive views to be found in Palestine. Matheson has suggested that the mission of the mother of our Lord was “the preservation of a gifted son for a heavenly mission.” There was a danger, which she realized when she found Him in the temple, that His love for the heavenly things would exhaust His physical strength. She feared possibly that the temple authorities, who had marveled at His knowledge, might wish to take Him under their control and complete His education, not knowing His mission. This probably is the key to the reference of the Divine Boy's subjection to Joseph and Mary upon His return with them to Nazareth, where He developed under their watch- care mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. Eighteen years intervene b-fore we get another glimpse into the life of Mary. It came at the wedding in Cana. when she ghowed her confidence in His initiative by telling Him that there. was something lacking. This would indicate her thoughfulness of | others and her social instincts that de- sired to make everything connected | with the wedding =~ successful. She showed faith in Jesus by telling the servants “Whatsoever He sayeth unto you, do it.” These are the last rec- orded words of the mother of our Lord. During her trials, troubles and testings Jesus had never failed her and she knew that He could always be trusted to guide and direct in the correct way. Twice again the Scriptures refer 1o the presence of Mary in connection with the Christ—once during the Lord’s ministry in Capernaum, when she thought that the Master was in great danger from a hostile multitude’s criti- cism. The mother’s love revealed it- self in her longing to protect Him. She stood near the cross to give Him any possible comfort and care that would help Him in His agony. Looking down from the cross upon her, & flood must have filled His soul when He proved His love for her by committing her to the care of the disciple whom He loved. Christ knew that in that hour John needed His mother’s sympathy and spiritual help. The last reference to the Virgin Mary in th: Bible is to her presence in the upper room, where she shared the first news of His resurrection. She waited with the members of the early church for the coming of the Holy Spirit, and under His teachings at Pentecost she came to understand the full meaning of | the sayings and scenes that she had stored in her heart. The mystery and sufferings disappeared in the triumph of her Son. The noble spiritual woman who sacrificed her life and sunk herself out of sight in the life of her Son is honored by all Christians, creeds and churches as the mother of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

These fishermen had ideas of their own as regards tolerance and refused not only to allow those of other sects to enter the church, but refused to allow Quak- ers and others to build a church in the vicinity of their own. It was a troublesome congregation, this, which occupied the block house built in the year 1640 and which constituted the first edifice of the Dover Congregation- alists: and more trouble was in store for ‘them during the next centugy and a half.
