School Lesson Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. SIMEON AND ANNA: THE IN- SIGHT OF THE PURE HEART. Luke, 11.25-39. Golden_text—*Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."—Matthew, x.8. Luke gives us the suggestive scene in the Temple, when Simeon and Anna, with wisdom enriched by the treas- ured experience and piety of the cen- turies, recognized the Babe that Mary brought with her when she came to make her gift for her restored health and her offerings for the gift of the Child, to be their long expected Messiah. Joseph and Mary were taken by suprise by the welcome that these aged servants gave to their little one. They never dreamed when they left Bethlehem to observe the law's requirements in reference to the ceremonial purification such consideration for Jesus. They marveled at the welcome and words of these two spiritual seers when they come at the end of 40 days from Beth- lehem to Jerusalem to comply with the law, just as they did when they had Jesus circumeised when -he was eight days old. The fact that they did not have a great gaf and rejoicing at his circumecision that their of- fering was that of a pair of doves re- veals that they possessed limited funds and that in all probability the wise men had not yet presented them with their rich and valuable presents. Evidently both Simeon and Anna were well known figures about the Temple, where they spent most of their time praying and praising God. Both were well along in years, in fact Anna must have passed the century mark. They had witnessed more than one critical period through which their nation had passed. No doubt they recited to the people stories of the experiences through which they had passed during the wars that preceeded the Roman conquest of their beloved nation. They had seen the changes that took place during the reign of Herod the Great and were walking encyclopedias of their nation’s religious and political life, They were looking for the coming of the Messiah who would restore Israel's greatness, just like the devout Jewish people who pray outside the walls of their ancient ‘Temple today for a return of their for- mer glory as a nation. Simeon Spiritual Vision. The only record that we possess of Simeon is the few verses found in this lesson. The suggestion that Luke ob- tained this information from Mary, the Mother of our Lord, has much in its favor, because he traced the events to their source and had obtained informa- tion from eyewitnesses. Two words, just and devout, setsforth the character of this aged servant of Jehovah. He was just in his relations with men because he was devout toward God, One finds help in living an upright life through his spiritual fellowship with the Lord. Simeon was not only a devout man, but he was one of faith, who had been promised because of his trust in Jeho- vah and faith in His promises of a Messiah that he would see Him be- fore death should remove him from the ranks of the living. Simeon was filled with the Holy Spirit and followed His urge and obeyed His directions, so that he was in the Temple when Joseph and Mary entered carry- ing the coming King in common swad- dling clothes. We can hardly imagine that when Simeon went to the Temple that day he expected to see the Christ in the form of a small child being carried by a young peasant mother. We | do not know how he came to recognize | Him, but we do know that he was moved to see in Jesus the Messiah, whom he had looked forward to come in his lifetime and that he took the Babe up in his arms, embraced Him and immediately made a public testi- mony to Christ. In this brief declaration of his faith Simeon gave expression to some impor- tant truths concerning the Lord Jesus. He put first the fact that in Him we have salvation. Many persons lail to obtain the joy of being saved because they do not seek Jesus but gifts from Him. Apart from Him there is no sal- vaticn, “He of God is made unto us, fication, and salvation.” He predicted that the Lord would be a blessing to the Gentiles and the glory of His peo- ple Israel. Many professed Christians have overlooked their indebtedness to the Jewish people, for all that we have in our religion has from a human point of view come to us from the Jews. Simeon’s Swan Song. Having seen the Messiah, he sang his pnrt}ng song, that has been called “Nunc Dimittis,” from the first words of its Latin translation. In this song Simeon reveals that his soul had, through the Holy Spirit, been given a complete vision of his own salvation and of one that would embrace the whole world with its glory. The mes- sage of the Prophets, that had been the road. Dr. Sexton has just returned from the North Carolina mountains with moving pictures of the life customs of & group of Indians, wh made little, | subject ‘of his. meditation and the foundation of his prayers, he had seen power of the Christ, we, too, would be prepared to depart. ‘Turning to Joseph and Mary, who marveled at the seer’s knowledge of the Divine Child of nrophecy and promise, Simeon blessed them. He told Mary that her Son was destined to be the foundation stone of a new civilization because of the infinite possibilities that were linked up in His life. People would be lifted up or cast down in accordance with their attitude toward Him. He pointed out that He was destined to re- ceive bitter opposition and had to face a spirit of unbelief. He told her that “a sword would pierce her soul.” Every mother carries burdens concerning her children, but none ever was called upon to suffer more than the Mother of our Lord. The sword pierced her soul when Jesus brought division in the family, when He was condemned by His coun- trymen, and when she witnessed her | Ve Son die of a broken heart upon the Cross, Anna a Prophetgss. All we know about Anna, a prophet- ess, we have in the lesson. In a few words, the beloved physician has given us a definite and wonderful picture of her life and character. She belonged to one of the northern tribes, Asher, that in both the predictions concerning it in the blessing of Jacob and the pre- dictions of Moses was very favorable. The trie failed to meet its obligations and failed to respond to its privile and opj ties. 1t was one of the lost & that failed to return from captivit] Some families evidently re- turned and became identified with Judah, although they preserved their family and tribal records. Anna, wio had reached about 106 years of age, be- longed to that tribe. She spent her time in the Temple “worshipping with fastings and suppli- cations.” When she left the sacred precincts for the night—for no woman was allowed to stay there at night—she kept up her religious devotion. Aged ones find their greatesi consolation in religious worship and prayer. She plead for the coming of the Messiah to de- liver and save the natlon. The fact that she was a prophetess suggests that she may have given instruction in the word and along spiritual lines. She rec- ognized the Divine Child as the Messiah and gave public thanks for His coming. If we would see the Lord, when He comes, we need to be spiritually minded like Simeon and Anna. If we will seek Him in sincerity as our Savior, we can be sure that the Holy Spirit will reveal Him to us. MEMORIAL PLANNED Eulogies to Be Pronounced for A. H. Grimke and Neval H. Thomas.
