used In the time <>f Christ. The Talmud and the 14 book* of the Apocrypha were written. The synagogue arose The schools ot Hillel and Shan mai were founded and flourished. The sects of the Pharisees and Sadducees originated Buddha. Confucius and Zoroaster were beginning to influence life tn the Far East, while in the Near East Zen<> and Epicurus dominated philosophical thought The Caesars ruled the Mediterranean world To understand something of this period from Malachi to Christ, we are asked to read the Scripture passages listed above. • • • BEFORE JESUS CAME 4* II! HOLD. I will send my mesDsenger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come in his temple, even the messenger nf the covenant, whom ye delight tn; behold he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.” Did they fully understand the significance of these great words ot Malachi? Hardly may we expect that they did, but they got their basis of hope, about which we studied last Sunday. Imagine the faces of the little children In the long ago as they hdard of the coming Messenger! * • • THE COMING CHRIST LOOK carefully at the above Scriptures and see how both the Old and New Testaments center up- n Christ. These great phrases art suggested; The promised Christ, the expected Christ, the heralding Christ, the pre tented Christ, the enlightening Christ, the Judging Christ, the merciful Christ, the redeeming Christ, the restoring Christ, the guiding Cm :st. Space does not permit the elta tinns. but a study of the passages will reveal each of these gifts and blessings in the coming Christ • • • BETWEEN THE TESTAMENTS DIMLY only do we envision that period of four centuries, but we have sufficient light to trace the steps by which the faithful amongst the Jews were cleansing themselves of idolatry as the fires of God purged awav the dross of paganism and secularism Ont wiU find rich reward in the reading of the Apocry ph* and Josephus Also, one will find in the opening chapters of the New Testament light which falls bark upon those dark ages There were synagogue schools, taught, in many instances by very able men. such as Hillel There was a groping toward the light Men were hungry for the fulfilment of prophecy. It was the darkness just before the dawn • • • THE EIGHT BREAKS 44 f> ESSED be the Lord God of D Israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people.” Luke I 111 Thus does the golden text for Sun day’s lesson flash upon the waiting heart of expectant humanity the GM News The fulness of God s time had eome Jesus was b»>rn Peace had eome to men of good will James M- ntgomery puts the Good News in •hose lovely lines: from !bt ttaioit of f/r>»T.

It was logical that he would lift Hie closing order on ground* that repairs have been made more quickly than anticipated. A Idg backlog of freight trains was piled up at Helmstedt, where tin- border closure began a week I ago after tile western powers introduced currency reform in the western zone* of Germany. British authorities at Helmstedt v. --terday halted all German freight trains which normally pass through Helmstedt en route to destinations in the Soviet zone ; other than Berlin. It see:m«l possible that this British reprisal action caused the ; Russian pud down on the closure order Su Ii big cities as l.ei|>zig : In Hie Soviet zone are heavily de100 tn for cecal and other sup- | plies on the western zones.

(WK lime IB!!! I We wish to point out to the residents of Decatur that the streets and public alleys of the city are undermined with a network of water mains, sewers, gas mains, electric power cables, and telephone cables. All of these u units have been placed for the service of the general j | public. We ask that you CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING ANY STREET OR PUBLIC ALLEY. We, at the Citizens Telephone Co., will send men at our own expense to locate any of our underground cables, upon request. We feel certain that the other utilities will also be very co-operative in furnishing information concerning the location of any of their units. Again, we wish to ask that you commence no digging on public right-of-way before checking. A few minutes consumed in checking with all of the utilities mav save you several hundred dollars in repair bills or it might possibly save your life. “A Phone Fer Every Home” I ■ -- / , • —I I ♦•• • ■ . • o
