' coxsECTioy. fTlHE lesson of last Sunday gave ua A. the tribute of John, the writer of this story, to Jesus. This lesson gives us the tribute of John, the forerunner of Jesus, as recorded by this writer. John. We have to keep the two Johns properly distinguished in our thought. Luke Is the only one who tells any thing about tne birth and lineage of John the baptist, or baptizer. He be gan his ministry about the Spring ef A. D. 26. coming out of his long retire ment and study with wonderful knowl edge of the people, of his times and of his own definite mission. He preached three things the presence of their long-expected Messiah and therefore of the kingdom of heaven which they had looked for, though It was to be a very different thing from what they expect ed and desired; repentance as the only way of entering that kingdom, not de scent from Abraham nor ceremonial perfection; proof of repentance by bap tism and an amended life. He made the same demands on all, but when Jesus came to be baptized John saw at once that here was a man who didn't need to repent. But Jesus said that, as he had accepted man's lot on earth, it was fitting that ha should submit to every right law, do all forms of right eousness. The baptism of Jesus was probably early In January, A. D. 27. rati LESSON. ' I. John' Witness to Himself 19-24. "And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Je rusalem priests and Levites to ask him Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him. What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered. No. They said therefore unto him. Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying In the wil derness. Make straight the w.ay of tha Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 1. Peril. John was In peril. He bad preached with awakening power and had drawn the people out from tha cit les and from all over the country to see and hear the strange man who was waking the echoes down near the Jor dan. The Pharisees were stirred and their authorities sent a delegation all the way to the Jordan to ask him one question, not who he was, for they knew he was the son of Zacharlah and Elizabeth; not whom he referred to in his preaching, for they knew he meant the Messiah; but about his prophetic character and his own relation to the Messiah, whether he himself was the Messiah or an old prophet come to life, or what? Their motive was stealthy, selfish. Those Pharisees were losing their hold on their dupes, just In proportion as John got people to repent and expect the Messiah, and many of them had come out from the city and been bap tized, not as a sign of repentance, but as a means of getting hold of this new movement and controlling It In their own interest. But John soon saw through them, and, as Luke and Mat thew tell us, called them & brood of writhing, wriggling serpents, trying to crawl into the crowd he was gathering for his Master, and told them to go and repent and prove their repentance by the fruits of it. Now this delegation they send has a shrewd purpose and they have three surmises. He might be Elijah come to life, for it was said that Elijah would come again, but the prophet meant that another man would do a corrective, preparatory work like that of Elijah. Jesus afterward said that John had come in the spirit and power of Elijah. Another surmise was that he was "that prophet" spoken of in Deut. xviil:15; another, that he might consider himself the actual Messiah. 2. Humility. John had a three-fold temptation to resent their question in an. ugly spirit, knowing their vicious habits and their satanlc spirit; to claim more honors than he was entitled to, gloating over the prestige he had gained; to claim the most exalted mis sion of the Messiah. But not for a sin gle moment did he give way to vlndlc tlveness, nor vanity, nor ambition. Per haps he knew that he was to be a sec ond Elijah, but not once did he claim that honor. He waited for his Master to award it to him. 3. Service. His was the mission of humble service. Had he claimed to be the Messiah, or one of the old prophets come to life,' they would not have known better and would probably have believed him for a while, but he took the place of a servant to the Messiah. Two figures show his humility. One is that of a voice. He is only a voice, slm ply the vibration of air, "tha nearest thing to nothing" we know. But it is more than that; It is the Instrument for expressing the majestic truths which tha mind thinks and the exalted passions of the soul. The voice dies out, but the truths and emotions live. Not an idle voice, for it is-the servant of the king going on ahead of him, as was the case in the Orient when the king made a Journey and sent his serv ants ahead to tell the people to get the roads ready, leveling down and filling up and taking out rough stones. That was John's work. The other figure is that of sandal-bearer to a master, an honor too great for him. Wo cannot fail to notice his re straint. He really tells them nothing much except what will attract admiring attention to his coming Master. n. John's Witness to Christ 23-43. And they asked him. and said unto him. Why baptlzest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Ellas, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I bap tize with water; but there standest one among you, whom ye know not. He it is. who coming after me. Is preferred before tne, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done In Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was bap tizing. The next day John seeth Jesus com ing unto him, and saith. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh-away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said. After me Cometh a. man which Is preferred be fore me; for he was before me. And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I mv AEOLIAN PLAYER PIANO Not a Cheap Piano, Though Low Priced J Why buy a cheap Player Piano, whose only recommendation is price, when for the same amount of money you can get a really fine instrument the Aeolian Play er Piano ?

Upon whom thou shalt see tha Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is ha which baptizetb. with the Holy Ghost. 1. Supremacy. In all that he said about himself ho was giving honor to his Master. According to Zech. xiii. 1. they thought baptism was for the Mes siah or Elijah or "that prophet" to perform then why did he do it? Here is a five-fold witness to Christ and it seems that Christ was that moment there listening to what ho said. First, his superiority to a mere servant, "be fore him and preferred before him." .r. i T V, .Via ..r.atnst IftV. SeC- lllill. garv w uuu luv o - - - . I . Tnlin err.
