BROOKLYN TABERNACLE

“BORN KING OF THE JEWS." Matthew ii, 1-12-—Feb. 4. “Look unto He and be ye saved, all ye ends of ■ the earth; for lam God and there is none i else.” —Isaiah rlv, 22. CODAY’S STUDY relates to the Wise ivleu of the East and their seeing of a wonderful star which, as astrologers, they recognized to import a great event. At the time Palestine was a province of the Roman Empire, and its King, Herod, Was not a Jew of the House of Jacob, but a representative of the house of Esau. Herod sought to perpetuate his dynasty, and hence the announcement of the shepherds that a great King of the Jews had just been born suggested’ the overthrow of the Herodian dynasty and. the establishment on Israel's throne of a king in the line of David. I Herod’s disquietude is easily understood, but the fact that the people of Jerusalem in general should be dis-

turbed by the annunciation of a king of their own awake h s thought. Under the Romans they were experienc- . Ing great prosperity. Herod, the Edomite, had built them a temple the grandeur of which outshone that of Solomon. Evidently

I the people were Reeling so satisfied with their attainments that they had ceased to specially long for and pray for the coming of the Messiah. A very similar condition of things may be expected in conjunction with the second advent of Christ. The powers that be today are styled Christ’s Kingdom, “Christendom,” but they are really “kingdoms of this world.” Any announcement today that Messiah’s Kingdom Is nigh—that He will soon take unto Himself His great power and reign (Revelation xl, 17) meets with resentment. If In surprise we ask why this In-, difference respecting the fulfilment of our prayer, “Thy Kingdom come,” the answer is, “Let well enough alone; do not agitate that subject; it may bring in strife and contention, because many are prospering so well under the reign of the 'Prince of this world’ that they could not look upon a change as likely to bring any Improvement in their condition—indeed some of them have reason to fear that Messiah’s Kingdom would seriously disturb their entrenched privileges and monopolistic control of the wonderful blessings of our day.”

Priestly Indifference on the Subject. Although King Herod called the priests and teachers of his day to Inquire particularly respecting the prophecies of Messiah's birth, and al-

“Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh."

of them followed to Bethlehem to find the new born King of the Jews. They had become Higher Critics and no longer believed the prophecies. And do we not And an antitype in this day? Are not the chief priests and religious leaders today generally so out of harmony with the Divine promises <nd so faithless as respects the glorious Messianic Kingdom of which the Bible tells, that they are ashamed to identify themselves in any degree with those who seek the Ix>rd and waiPfor His Kingdom? Alas! eVen the Mohammedans and Brahmins of the East aye waiting for Messiah and the Golden Ago and disposed’ to seek the evidences—but amongst the most prominent ministers of “Christenuoiii” there is apparent unlielief, Higher Criticism, Evolution and general opiiosition to Messiah and His Kingdom. Let the civil govern ment fight down if it chooses everything associated with the New Dls- V pensatlon; these are quite Indifferent: they have plans and schemes of their own by which they are hoping to accomplish the work predicted for Messiah. AlaS for them! how clearly they are mistaken! It has required all this Gospel Age for the selecting of the Spiritual Seed. With its completion a New Age will be inaugurated. Then the earthly blessings promised will be, fulfilled to the natural seed of Abraham. “They shall build houses and inhabit them: they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof;” “the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth;” to Him “every knee will boU and every tongue confess,” for all who refuse shall la* destroyed' in the Second Death. (Isaiah Ixv. 21: Hibn’t kuk ii, 14; Homans xlv> 11.) During the next Age He will be crowned Lord of all by natural Israel, and all other nationalities will enjoy the privilege of becoming proselyte children of Abraham, in the flesh. Messiah will reign in His Mediatorial Kingdom for the very purpose of bringing these blessings to natural Israel and through -her to all nations.

"There came wise men from the East.”

though they answered him correctly, nevertheless, the records show no joy, no enthusiasm, on the part of the religious teachers in respect to the prophetic fulfilment which they had professed tf* trust in and to long for. None

TO CARRY SMALLER COINS

Uwful Little Bag Will Be Found Va|.( uable When on Shopping Ex- ' curslons. A pence bag, to be carried slung upon the wrist, is a very useful possession during shopping excursions, and we give a sketch of a dainty little bag, of this description, which can be made in spare moments from almost any odd remnant of silk. It should be made in quite a small size, and for ordinary purposes four

inches in depth and three inches in width will be found quite large enough. It is cut oilt in two pieces, and the material is then lined with soft wash leather and sewn together at the edges. It is gathered at the neck and draws togethei* with a silk cord, which is also of service for carrying ft upon the wrist. Prior to making the bag up, the effective little’ floral design Illustrated should be worked in colored silks, and lastly, to complete the purse, the edges of the materials at the neck are bound with narrow ribbon. This bag might be carried out, and would be equally serviceable in suede or kid, cut from the top of old long gloves, in this case it should be lined, with silk. . .

TURN TO LEATHER CUSHIONS

Those of the Motor Have Proven So Comfortable that Their Use Is Becoming General. The comfort, durability, and appearance of motor cushions made of leather have commenced this style of cushion for domestic use, and ladies are learning with renewed Interest the arts of embossing and cutting out leather. b It is advisable to obtain one or two lessons, but having done so the art of decorating leather is not difficult, and It can be applied to many things —as well as to bookbinding—which is one of the most artistic of hobbies. In cushions there is great admiration for cut-out patterns of leather, which must be mounted on cloth, velvet, or suede, either in the same color, as is usually the case when the leather is chosen, or in contrast Ing shade, brown leather looking well over green velvet or cloth. Meantime there is also a great revival of the highly decorative embossed and colored leather for cardcases, purses, and large handbags Bold designs in leaves or fruit are invariably chosen, and the color must be in one scheme. Green leaves would not, for instance, be introduced upon a green bag, though green might tone into a dull soft purple, and light brown leather would show fruit clusters, In which the warmer shades glowed to an autumnal red and the flarker softened to a chestnut hue.

SOME OF THE LATEST FADS

Point In Favor of Most of Them I* That They Seldom Go to Extremes. The latest in neckwear is the extremely large bow of black or white pleated maline. Frequently both colors are used together, one veiling the other. Novelty features in suit and separate coats consist of the sloping shoulder, belted and collarless effects, long rolling revers, side buttoning and large armholes. Shawl draperies reign triumphant. They are made of the daintiest laces, rich brocades, soft silks and chiffons. Hardly an evening gown appears without this form of trimming. This is the season of elaborate and costly materials. We have gone quite mad about brocaded satin, velvet and chiffon, metal effects and the rich and luxurious effects for which the coronation was responsible. A great favorite is the new material called velour de lafne—a mixed suiting, almost like camel’s hair. It is particularly effective in a white diagonal stripe and there are- variations in tan, light blue and gray. A noticeable’feature at some of the recent fashionable events, including the New York Horse Show, was the very decollete cut of the evening gowns, particularly in the back, where the point ended well toward waist.

Vogue of Red and White.

The white and red evening dresses are best this year. All tones of red are lovely except the hard red, which, however, is not fashionable. The soft geranium that is near flame leads; then there is ruby and coral. With white mousseline they are delicious. The red is generally of velvet and the color is used as a panel down the front and as a big bow on the corsage, But we see treatments of it alnpost any way.
