67 And his father Zacharias was filled
with the holy Ghost, and proph esied, say-
ing, ,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;
for he hath visited and redeemed his peo-
ple,
69 And hath raised up a horn of salva-
tion for us in the house of his servant
David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets, which have been since the world
began:
71 That we should be saved from our
enemies, and from the hand of all that hate
us;
12 To perform the mercy promised to our
fathers, and to remember his holy cove-
nant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father
Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us, that we,
being delivered out of the hand of our ene-
mies, might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before
him, all the days of our life.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the
prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go
before the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto
his people by the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God;
whereby the dayspring from on high hath
visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit in dark-
ness and in the shadow of death, to guide
our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong
in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day
of his shewing unto Israel.
Memory ver.-cs: 76-79.
Golden Text. —Thou shalt go before
the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways. Luke 1,76.
Let it be noted that there is not the
slightest reason for calling this, and
the proceeding lesson "Songs." They
begin, respectively, "And Mary saidC'
"And his father Zacharias was filled
with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied-,
saying." There is a like error current
co ncerning the Angelic Annunciation
in the lesson for next Lord's day. It is
not said that either the "Angel of the
Lord," or the "multitude of the heav-
enly host*1 sang. In fact Scripture
neves speaks of angels singing. It is
only the redeemed who sing.
The key to the first four lessons of
this quarter is "Joy." Lukei:14, 47; ii:
10.
This prophecy of Zacharias is in two
parts.
I. The Vindication of God's
Faithfulnes , verses 67-75.
Teaching Points.
Vs. 69, 73. Zacharias refers especial-
ly to two of the many Messianic proph-
ecies—the promises to Abraham, Gen.
xii: 2-3; xvii: 7; xxii: 16-18, and to
David, 2 Sam. vii:16; xxiii:5; Isaiah lv:
3-4. Acts ii:29-30.
Vs. 70. But Christ, the horn of Sal-
vation in David's house, is the theme
of all prophecy—indeed of all Script-
ure. Luke xxiv: 25-27,44; Actsiii:24:
Acts x: 43. Mr. Spurgeon says: "As
all roads lead to Rome, so all Script-
ures lead to Christ."
Vs. 71-74. Observe that Zecharias

the state of the believer and of the un-
believer. To the former an illuminat-

Col. i:12, 13. To the latter darkness
and the shadow of deatn, John xii:35;

Teacher, to which class do you be-
long?
suggestions to teacheil3.
1. Keep the thread of the story by
a few questions upon lessons I and II.
2. Study carefully every reference
given in "Teaching Points," before
facing the class.
3. Always make sure that the class
is possessed of the matters of fact in
the lesson before opening the spiritual
teachings.
4. Use the palpable error about this
lesson being a "song," to impress the
class (and yourself) with both the
irreverance and danger of so carelessly
studying scripture. The bible is a book
which continually surprises by its ex-
ceeding accuracy.
5. Put the emphasis in this lesson
on part II, and strive to use the beau-
tiful < ontrast in verse 79 to lead the
unconverted members of the class to
"the Day-spring from on high."

Humor in the Pulpit.
At a meeting of Baptist clergymen
in New York, the advisability of being
funny in the pulpit was discussed.
This is a very delicate matter and not
to be disposed of off-hand. Most of
the brethren were inclined to thiuk
that a little seasoning of goo J humor
in a discourse is good, because it tends
to keep the audience awake and atten-
tive. Due speaker, however, took the
opposite view. He said that if a min-
ister once permits himself to be humor-
ous, his hearers will expect him to be
so as a regular thing, and consequently
little by little he will degenerate into
a sort of religious mountebank. There
Is much force in this argument, and
certainly a deliberate attempt by cler-
gymen to be funny in their pulpits
would have dreadful results. The
clergyman who goes to that length des-
ecrates the pulpit. He is not merely
irreverent and irreligious —he is vul-
gar. A smile, a gentle smile, is the
most that he should allow himself to
excite in his hearers, and even that
should be only an occasional indul-
gence. On Thanksgiving Day, Fast
Day, and at other special times a little
relaxation in the pulpit will not be
amiss.—Boston Post
The Electric Welding Machine.
The most attractive of any of the
machines in machinery hall at the
Paris exposition was the electric weld-
ing machine. No less a person than a
cousin of the late President Garfield
had charge of the machine and ex-
plained its operation to those desiring
information. To the most casual ^jb
deliverance promised to them as a na-
tion. It is "His people," the children
of "our father Abraham" which are
before his vision. See Isaiah xi:ll, 12;
xiv:l; Jer. xvi:14, 15; but especially
Jer. xxiii:5, 6. Zeph. iii: 14, 15. Cer-
tainly nothing like this occurred in
connection with the earth-life of Christ.
The Jewish nation rejected Him
and put Him to death, and. so far from
being delivered out of the haud of their
enemies, they were speedily delivered
up to the unsparing hatred of their
enemies, their city destroyed, and
themselves sent into a dispersion which
still continues. But this does not alter
the truth of the saying of Zecharias,
nor of the prophecies quoted. They
are all yet to be fulfilled. See Acts xv:
14-17; (Dr. Arthur T. Pierson says:
"This passage opened my eyes to the
meaning of the prophetic Scriptures.")
Romans xi:25-27.
Vs. 68, 69. Note that Zecharias
speaks of these things as already ac-
complished, when, in fact, Jesus was
not yet born. This is a frequent feat-
ure of the prophetic writings, c. g. Isa.
liii:4—10 where, seven hundred years
before the accomplishment of his
prophecy, Isaiah speaks as if it were
past.
v. 70. Zecharias tells how God spake;
"by the mouth of His holy prophets."
A common misconception of inspiration
is that God revealed certain ideas, or
truths, to His prophets who, thereupon,
committed them to words as best they
could. But Scripture itself never
speaks thus of its own inspiration.
The constant testimony of these holy
men is that God gave the words, not
the ideas; the constant reference is to
the mouth or tongue, never to the
mind or brain, of the prophet. Indeed.
Peter represents these holy men as
studying their own Spirit given words
to discover the ideas. 1 Peter i:10, 11.
See, also, Ex. iv:10-12; 2 Sam. xxiii:
2; Prov. xxx:6; Jer. i:7-9; xxxvi:l, 2
Numbers xxii:38; xxiii: 12,16; John xvii:
8; 1 Cor. ii:13.
To sum up this part of Zecharias'
"Song," it is, (a), a true prophecy i. e.
relating to future events; (b) it refers
to the promises to Israel, (c) national-
ly these are yet to be fulfilled in the
restoration of dispersed Israel to its
own laud, its conversion, and final de-
liverance out of the hand of its ene-
mies.
II. The Mission of John the Bap-
tist. verses 76-80.
Teaching Points, v. 76. The mis-
sion of John was prophetic. Matt, xi:
9; Luke xii:26; John i:6-8. He was

Matt xi:13.
v. 77-79. These verses contain a
wonderful description of Salvation,
and are not Jewish only in their ap-
plication. (Note.)
v. 77. Salvation is by remission of
sins. No one therefore is saved until
his sins are remitted, and this is done
for every believer on the Lord Jesus
Christ, Acts xiii:38, 39; 1 John ii:12;
John riti:24; Lukt v¡23,24.
server there is something very won-
derful in witnessing the rapid heating
of a solid bar of 1-inch or li inch iron
and the comparative ease in munipu-
lation required to effect a weld. Not
the least interesting part of the opera-
tion was the complete localizing of the
heat to the abutting ends to be weld-
ed, but while the process of electric
welding as applied to wrought or soft
iron and steel appears to bo so much
more rapid, clean, and certain than
the operation as carried out in the
blacksmith shops it will yet remain
for some time a question of expediency,
as to its general adoption over the old
method for these metals. The great
advantage of electric welding is in the
practicability of effecting by its aid
welds in metals which it was formerly
very difficult or impossible to make.
By the electrical process, for instance,
copper, formerly so difficult to weld,
can be united with great ease and cer-
tainty; while cast-iron, brass, gun
metal, bronze, German silver, tin, and
aluminum, hitherto considered un-
weldable, can be fused together with
ease, either with pieces of like or un-
like metals.
The bars to be welded are first filed
or ground to a slightly conical shape
at their ends, so that the heating, and
therefore the welding, starts at their
centers and spreads out gradually as
pressure is applied, forcing all extra-
neous matter, such as scales and oxide,
outward, and making a perfectly clean
weld. This wonderful machine is an
American invention.
Negro Officer*
In the early regiments recruited
from the freed slaves of the southern
states nothing was at first a greater
obstacle than tne unwillingness of the
ignoraut blacks to be subjected to one
another. Not only had the commis-
sioned officers at first to be taken from
the white race, but in some cases the
sergeants were similarly appointed,
and it was only very gradually that
the colored soldiers could be brought
to obey any one of their own race. "I
don't wan't him to play the white man
ober me," was the frequent protest
By degrees they came to understand
that they were not to obey their officers
by reason of color, but because they
were officers, and then they gradually
learned to take pride in having
sergeants and corporals of their own
hue.—Col. T. W. Uigsrinson in Har-
per's Bazar.

HOOKED AN OCTOPUS.
The Luck of Three Hew Orleans Haher-
men Hear Ship Island.
A Giant' Devil Fish Took Their Hook and i
Frightened the Sportsmen Half to Death,!
hat Finally Broke Their Line and Made j
Them Happy.
Probably it is not generally known j
$hat the octopus, or devil-fish, fre-
quently of a large size, is found on the
coasts of Mississippi and Louisiana,
says the New York Sun. Possibly the
first instance on record of one of these
fish, and one of large size at that hav-
ing taken a hook came within the ex-
perience of three residents of New
Orleans a coupie of years since.
Gen. Philip Buchanan, Lieut -Col.
E. C. Fenner, and Maj. Harry Howard,
now mayor of Biloxi, Miss., started
from that place in the yacht of Maj.
Howard for Ship island on a fishing
expedition. East-northeast of that
island, in about eight fathoms of
water, lies the wreck of the steamship
Josephine, marked now by a buoy.
Although the vessel proper has been
almost entirely covered with sand, by
careful sounding tho location of the
walking-beam may be found. On an-
choring near that spot a day of good
fishing is assured the angler. The
wrecked steamer has formed a barrier
or shelter, about which the fish ap-
pear to gather, and at certain tides,
no matter what other conditions may
prevail, the abundance of fish makes
it almost drudgery to attend the lines.
No sooner has the hook reached the
required depth than it is seized by
some large and voracious fish, gener-
ally a red-snapper, which is a gallant
fighter.
It was in August that the fishermen
above mentioned, accompanied by two
sailors in a yawl, anchored over the
wreck of the Josephine. Col. Fenner,
who has a predilection for taking
sharks of a large size, had with him,
as usual, an inch line, ten or fifteen
fathoms in length, equipped with a
hook of suitable size for sharks. This
was baited with a piece of salt pork
and thrown overboard, where it re-
mained undisturbed for a long time.
The line was secured to one of the
thwarts of the boat The fishing was
as good as usual and all were having
good luck when attention was called to
the shark line, which was running out
with gre st speed. The rapidity of its
movement indicated some fish of ex-
ceptional size.
The five men had hardly time to
throw themselves to the side of the
craft opposite the line when the fish
which was firmly hooked, bore the boat
down so that the gun-wale was partly
submerged. For several moments its
occupants expected that it would be
dragged broadside under by the strain.
Their first impulse was to cut the line,
but this was opposed by one or two of
the party, who wished to see the end
of the adventure.
At this juncture the boat suddenly
righted to an eveu keel: the line slack-
ened and it was evident tnat the fish
was moving toward them. The slack
of the line was rapidly 1 alcen in, which
was barely accomplished when the
water became violently agitated and
there leaped from the surface a great
octopus, in whose mouth the hook wax
firmly fixed. As he threw himself
above the water he darted his tentacles,
which were not le?-s than ten or fifteen
feet long, toward the boat: then he
slowly sank and remained for a few
moments apparently motionless, as if
Meditating fljjfr ~-
The condition of the fishermen was
now somewhat critical, for they were
entirely unprovided with any weapons
txcept a couple of oars with which to
repel the att ick of the monster, and
vet they were unwilling to detach the
line from the thwart. There was
nothing to do but await developments.
Indeed there was but little time for
consultation or action, for, after a
brief delay, the octopus again slowly
rose to the surface, where with his
head slightly elevated ho began beat-
ing the water with his tentacles. He
was apparently studying the extraori
dinary ad vers try which he had en-
countered. A third time he disappear-
ed, and this time with a fierce rush
The line fled over the side of the boat
with great velocity. The fishermen
again threw themselves to the oppo-
site side and awaited the shock. When
it came the line, unable to bear tho
strain, parted at the thwarts and dis-
appeared.

Jones—Why didn't vou tell me so

Walking boldly across the street
Jones says to the man: "Look here,
Snip, I am very sorry I've not got the
money to pay you for that last suit,
but you ought not to follow me up and
dun me when I'm trying to capture
that girl. She lias got lots of money,
and if I succeed you will not only get
your money, but also an order for a
wedding suit."
Snip goes off satisfied.
Returning to the young lady Jones
says: "I am glad you called my at-
tention to that cowardly scoundrel. I
don't think he will ever stare at you
again. I had great difficulty in re-
straining myself."—Texas Siftings.

Iowa furnishes a fresh illustration of the
way in which the spoils system forces the
best sort of. men out of public life. Judge
Reed, who had served with ability on the
the Supreme bench of the state, was elected
last year to the lower branch of congress.
He already announces that "he will not run
for congress again because of the discon-
tent he made in distributing the offices and
his own discontent with the work of a con-
gressman." Such an object lesson ought tv
open the eyes of those Iowa republicans
who have been sneering at civil-service re-
form.—New Yo)'k Evening Post.
Marshal MacMahon, the veteran French
soldier and ex-president, is at work on his

A Good Shootinir Ground.
One of the best shooting territories
in this country east of the Rocky
Mountains is found in and near tbe
Okifinokee Swamp, which covers a
large area in Charlton, Ware and j
Clinch counties, Georgia, and Baker j
county, Florida. It includes numerous j
lakes, the haunt of wild fowl, !
and forests of timber the abode
of large and small game in great pro- i
fusion. T he sportsmen who go there \
should equip themselves with heavy
leather thigh boots as protection
against the attacks of moccasins and
rattlesnakes. From the abundance of
game found in the Okifinokee, these,
it would appear, are the most effective
form of game warden. A point so ;
easily accessible by rail has retained j
its prolificness as a game preserve
only through the terror with which
tiie average man regards a venomous
taake.

Anxious Mamma of Six Daughters (to

next, and there are three to come after
them."
Ethel—"Yes, mamma, I have been con-
sidering the matter and I think the only
way is for you to persuade papa to buy us
all a machine and let us learn type-writ-
ing."—Puck.

A Cariosa Calculation.

A Lucky Memphis Man.
[Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, December 28.]
Upuuthe principle that nono but eagles
soar with eagles, the Appeal repotorial cap-
italist yest-r Jay sought out Mr. Chas. E.
Woodson, the extent of whose good fortune
is only excelled by his handsome appear-
ance. Mr. Woodson was the lucky holder
of a one-fortieth part of ticket No. 98.455 in
the December drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery which drew the capital prize
of $600,000. The Appeal commissioner found
Mr. TV oodson hard at work at his desk, in
the office of the well known retail dry poods
establishment of Hunter Brothers, corner
of Main and West Court Streets. The Ap-
peal reporter approached him with the figu-
rative question : "Well, Mr. Woodson, I
suppose your ship has come in ?" "How is
that, sir V said he, aud then, as if catching
on to the idea, continued : "Oh, yes, sir ;
I made the riffle the last drawing." In re-
ply to further interrogatories, Mr. Wood-
son elaborated : "I held the lucky number,
deposited it with my bank, received the re-
turns ($15,000) promptly, and have not yet
decided what investment I will make.
4'He was as pleasant a fellow as you

a hole through the scruff of his neck. Quite

THE SAILOR'S DARING.
" Man overboard! Stand by to lower
sway the boats!n With what alacrity every
man on board springs to his post at the
dread cry, knowing a fellow creature's life
is at stake ! Yet that life is in no more dan-
ger than that of the man or woman who
trifles with what may seem " a simple blood
disorder," but which in reality is fast sow-
ing the seeds of a fatal disease, when the
early use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery would cleanse the blood, restore
impaired digestion, tone up the vital organs
and ward off consumption. It should take
the place in the family corresponding to that
occupied by the life preserver on shipboard.
If taken in time, and given a fair trial,
" Golden Medical Discoveryis guaran-
teed to cure. This it will do if taken in the
earlier stages of consumption, but after a
large part of the lungs have broken down,
no medicine can stay its fatal
How important then that the earliest pre-
monitory symptoms be heeded! Shoit
breath, spitting of blood, occasional chilly
sensations creeping up the spinal column,
hacking cough, variable or door appetite,
feeble digestion, with gradual loss of flesh,
cold feet, lassitude <>r general debility,
should admonish one that all is not right.
You can't a fiord to foól away precious
time if suffering from any considerable
number of the above significant symptoms
of approaching danger! It's madness to
trifle and experiment'with uncertain means
of relief and cure when thus afflicted! Don't
forget, at such a critical time, that the. only
medicine possessed of such positive curative
properties as to warrant its manufacturers
m selling it, through druggists, under a
jjosltive guarantee of its benefiting or
curing in every case, is the world-famed
11 Golden Medical Discovery." For all Bron-
chial, Throat and Lung Affections, Weak
Lungs, and kindred ailments, it is an
qualea remedy.
