Mary was a Jewish multi ot’ the I town of Nazareth. The first Infor- | niation we have of her is that sinwas engaged to bo married to .les- ■ t’pb, a carpenter of the same village. , It seems that the custom among the .tens was for betrothal to take place a year liefore marriage. I. The Occasion of (Luke I:2C, 27). 1. Gabriels announcement (w. ■_*)-37>. During this interval of betrothal, God sent the angel Gabriel io announce to Mary that she was io be the mother of Jesus. Isaiah, more than 700 years before, prophesied that a virgin would give birth to a son. whose name should be , ■ ailed Uuiuauuel. “God with us" (Isa. 7:14). Though at first per | pleated, she accepted the anuuneia-1 ton with remarkable courage and! devotion. To be told that she was to be a mother was nothing startling, for this was the normal desire of every married Jewish woman. Under the circumstances, she accepted motherhood at a tremeti'dons cost. She was conscious of her virgin purity. She knew that to become a mother under such circumstances would expose her to suspicion and shame (John 8:41). 2. Mary s response: (v, 38). Hi r faith was such that she responded with remarkable courage. She said, j "Beheld the handmaid of the Lord: I he It uuto me according to thy • word.'' She accepted motherhood . under these circumstances as God'> command. It was made clear to her j that the Most High would emboci.' i himself with humanity divinely be ' gotten and that the resultant thing j born would be Indy and called tip' ' Son of God. She visits Elizabeth (". 314-15). In her embarrassment she set out I <m a visit to an elderly kinswoman i . ..tiled Elisabeth. Having sought the sympathy and encouragement ot her I triend. het triumphant faitl carried her beyond the misunderstandiug i the scorn and shame whicli awaited i her, and caused her soul to burst j otit hi the most wonderful sung "fl prai-e. Tills is called the "Magtiiti-<-.it’’ because of the first word in the Latin tvi'Mou. "My >oul doth magnify the Lord." As pointed out by another, three features of her; character stand oufin this vim. j a. Her purity of heart. Duly a i pure bear: rejoices w lien God iia--i-otne near. b. Iler humility. Sh" forgot her self and gave her heart to God's i praises, c. Her unwdtishiies' She did not ! primarily think of the undying li<m-1 or which through the age' > lould , l>e attached to Iter, hut the ble—e'i j ness vllicli would come on future I generations through her. 11. The Content of her Song (tv. bi-.-iS). 1. 1.-r s.iivation (vv. IG-I’.i). li was salvation tor b'Wlf and ofb | ci's.

Songs That Mothers Sing; And Greatest Os Them All A Traveller’s Glimpse Int o An Oriental Usage; And Some Pertinent Observations Upon The Songs

Os Today. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS ■■, Not until 1 went into Arabia could I understand the naturalness of the songs which Bible women sang. It seemed incredible that ordinary persons should burst into siiontaneous poetry of a high order. Equally 1 had challenged the reasonableness of grand opera. In my stubborn ignorance I insisted People do not express themselves in atty such flowery fashion. They speak their sentiments: they do not sing them ” My eyes wdfe opened when I found Syrian and Arab men and women bursting into Impromptu songs on all sorts of occasions. 1 once floated down the Tigris River on a goatskin raft; and for one stretch my raftsman was a young arab whom I called “Lothario.'' As we passed groups of Arab women filling their water jars at the river bank, he would burst Into improvised love songs, offering to share with them his treasures — my possessions, really—;whereupon they sang back, more melodiously and equally to the point A Village Maiden's Song After that month on the Tigris I never again questioned the reasonableness of the songs of Mary aitd’llannalt and Deborah and Miriam. That is the ageless way ol the East People there naturally burst into original song upon ev cry sufficient occasion. The qual ity of the song is determined by the knowledge and ability of tlie singer In awe and wonder over tile miraculous tiling that hud befallen her. as she had been uilouued by the Angel Gabriel, Mary fled down mnr drtrtmi (lovely Ain Kuirtt is the traditional town) to her kinswoman Elizabeth, as one woman naturally seeks another's counsel and comfort. There the expectant mother of Joint the Baptist greeted her with a rapturous outburst that is itself a song. In reply. Mary uttered with the "Magnificent", so named from the opening words in the Latin Version. Out Os A Full Heart Countless critics have been skeptical of the ability of a simple village woman to express spontaneoitsnesly. such lofty sentinicuts.; Nor Itave they sensed the fact that this Song of Mary, mostly jtaraphrases of t?ld Testament passages came from a rare spirit, whose soul was surcharged with the noble utterances of Scripture. An ignorant girl, or a coarsespirited girl, could naturally never have sung the "Magnificentbut Mary was the most highly favored among women, the one chosen to !»■ the mother of the Messiah. Epon Iter had descended that wonder of wontiers which we recite in the Apostles' Creed: "I believe. . . in Jesus Christ our Lord, who was conceived by lite Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary." Mystery and awe surrounding this ttpretnc miracle of time: that when God chose to reveal Himself to a wailing world lie those this sensitive, godly village girl to be the mother of His only begotten bTn. Small wonder that all Christentlom hails Maty as chief among women. The Songs That Mother Sang Mary wa? ready when iter overwhelming call tame, only she could have tittered the "Magnificent." Our thoughts are turned to the young womanhood of our own The International Sunday School Lesson for January 5 is: “A Mother's Song.’’ — Luke 1:46-57.

day. as we ponder this great song. The reason better lyrics are not t coming from the popular composers of today is that the writers are J ignorant—often ungrammatical — and low grade men. They have not ( in themselves the stuff of which real poetry Is made. And this generation of young people is hum- ! tiling and whistling and singing ! these transitory tunes, to the debasement of their own spirits. What are the girls of today to do for lullabies to sing to the bab les of tomorrow? That is really a i more important question than many I of the ponderous problems debated by professional educators. Eor i ! the songs that mothers slnix do, more to shape the character of a' nation than the lectures of the; eollege professors. Our mothers ! sang to us the dear and unforget-’ table songs of faith, which many of. the younger generation do not: ( know. , Are the babies of the future to, be brought up on “hot-cha” tunes, I or feverish ''ma nutty'' songs, or moaning ’’blues??'’ Or will the new mothertf tty to lull the children to sleep by blowing smoke rings for them? We shudder to think of a generation of mothers who cannot sing to their children songs; that arc worthy to be remembered. Mary, the beautiful maiden with , a spirit even finer than her face.; a girl whose soul had depth and ; strength, comes to us down the’ centuries to admonish the girls of a frivolous generation. She exulted in God: she exalted God. So all I nations call her blessed. She is lite eternal summons to a religious spirit on the part of all womanhood. A Poem: A Prophecy Wise and reverent students of i litis immortal song agree that the i latter part of it. beginning at verse j 51. is prophecy of the mission of i Mary's Sou. yet to be born. Jesus was destined to translate into ac- j tnality the hytnn of His mother. In tune with the times is the so-: cial note in the ' Magnificent.’’ it shares witli tlie great Hebrew pro-: phetic utterances the idea of a world of justice and righteousness • yet to come. Already. ; “He hath put down princes from j their thrones, . And hath exalted them of low de- j gree," Beneath the superficial signs of I the times, seeing eyes may discern 1 evidences of the inevitable sway l of Jesus Christ and His teachings! over a world In the re-making She Told It To The Doctor i We are entering upon a six, months course of Lessons, in the Sunday schools, in the Gospel of' Luk'-. More about him in later studies. At the moment, the ques- ; tioti naturally arises "How did Dr. Lake know these intimacies ol I Mary’s life, the things she had hidden in her heart?" I thin' it was at Ephesus, where Mary hud gone to live with John, the beloved disciple, that she, op- ■ eit"d the storehouse of her meinI ory. with the freedom that one ; uses only in talking with physician Then, as now and ever, the physician was counsellor and comforter, as well as healer.
