No detailed analysis of the matter will be attempted here; but it should be borne in mind that the consensus of judgment on the part of investigators is that Mathew'? account is that of the royal lineage, establishing the order of sequent e among the legal sucees-sor- s to the throne of David, while the account given by Luke is a personal pedigree, demonstrating deseent from David without adherence to the line of legal succession to the throne i to be James King.

Few people know, and fewer care, that his wife and two sons were murdered at his command. This sort of a Roman- ized Jew. is remembered chief-- ! idinqd Great Jo jOfeiiiias near- ness of kin. Luke's record is regarded by many, however, a? tile of Mary, while Matthew's l accepted as that of Jos. ph. The all important fact to Ire remembered is tliat tho Child promised by Gabriel to Mary, the virginal bride of Joseph, would be born in the royal line. A personal genealogy of Joseph was essentially that of Mary also, for they were cousins. Joseph is named as son of Ja.-oby Matthew and as son of Hcli by Luke; but Jacob and Hcli were brothers, and it appears that one of the two was the father of Joseph and the other the father of Mary and therefore father-in- law of Joseph. That Mary was of Davidic descent is plainly set forth in many scriptures; for since Jesus was to be born of Mary, yet was pot begotten by Joseph, who was the reputed, and, according to the law of the Jews, the legal, father, the blood of Davids posterity was given to the body of Jesus through Mary alone. Our Lord, though repeatedly addressed as Son of David, never repudiated the title but accepted it as rightly applied to Himself. Apostolic testimony stands in positive assertion of the royal heirship of Christ through earthly lineage, as witness the affirmation of Paul, the scholarly Phhis Son arisee; "Concerning Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;" and again: "Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead.

True enough, of the records have been written with indelible inks of hatred and prejudice and splattered with much blood; but cynics had best not rest their argument too confidently upon the gory records written or provoked by men who either did not know Christ or openly rejected his commands.
