We are today entering upon a six months' course of study in the GospeL of Luke, whose general subject is "Jesus the World's Savior." Today's lesson concerns the birth of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. I. The Parents of John the Baptist (vv. 5-7). 1. When They Lived (v. 5). “In the days of Herod the King." They lived la a day when ungodliness was rife. The priesthood was very corrupt and tbe ruling classes were wicked. .Zacharias and his wife lived In a time when it was not so easy to be godly. 2. Their Character (v. 6). They were righteous before God. To be ylghteous before God Is a high tribute. Many appear to be righteous before men who are not righteous before God. Their lives were so mated that they walked in the commandments of the Lord blameless. How beautiful it is when husband and wife are united tn the Lord and walk together in fellowship with God. 3. They Were Childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated and they possessed the joy of the Lord In their souls, there was a real lack in that home. 11. The Birth of John Promised (vv. 8-17). 1. By Whom (v. 11; cf. v. 19). The angel Gabriel appeared and made known the good news to Zacharias. This exalted being, the special messenger of God, was sent to make this disclosure. 2. When (vv. 8-14). While officiating as priest this good news came to him. Zacharias must have been definitely praying about this very matter (v. 13). As he burned Incense, which typified prayer, the multitude without were praying. 3. Characteristics of tbe Child (vv. 15-17). (1) Shall be great in the sight of the Lord (v. 15). Though the people did not greatly esteem him he was highly esteemed by the Lord. Tins is Infinitely better than If he had been greatly esteemed In the eyes of men or In his own eyes. This is the esteem for which we all should long and pray. (2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). The child shall become a Nazarlte, separating himself from the sensuous things and dedicating himself to the service of the Lord. (3) Be filled with the Holy Gbos* (v. 15). The energy of the divine Spirit would enable him to lead the people to repentance (v. 16). (4) Shall go in the spirit and power of Elijah (v. 17). In this power he was to prepare the people for the coming of the Savior and the salvation which He was to bring. 111. Zacharias Asking for a Sign (vv. 18-23). Although the aged priest was earnestly praying for the salvation of Israel the gracious promise of the angel, which was the beginning of that salvation, staggered his faith. He was unable to believe that that for which he fondly hoped and prayed would be realized. The angel gave Zacharias a sign. He was smitten with dumbness which was to continue until the fulfillment of the promise. Because he refused to praise God in faith for this gracious promise God caused his tongue to be silent until the promise was fulfilled and Ids lips could open in thanksgiving and praise. Though he was thus rebuked, at the same time his faith wus strengthened by the manifestation of the supernatural. God wants us to trust Him, to believe his promises, no matter how contrary to reason they may seem. IV. The Promise Fulfilled (vv. 5763). When the time came for the birth of John, Elizabeth brought forth a son and the neighbors rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they circumcized the child and gave him a name according to the Instruction of the angel (v. 13). The name John was contrary to tbe family custom. By means of writing Zacharias made known tbe name which he would have by divine instruction. At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharias and he offered up praise. Youth and Ago. In my youth I thought of writing a satire on mankind; but now In my age I think I should write an apology for them. —Walpole. Lenity and Mercy. When lenity and mercy play for a kingdom, the gently gamester Is the noonest winner.—Shakespeare. Heaven Often Smites. Heaven often smites in mercy, even when the blow Is severest.—Joanna Baillie.

SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color, Youthfulness and Lustre—Everybody is using it Again. Gray hair, however, handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. Whbn it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation. because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappars; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous and you appear years younger.

BIG TYPE Chester White Hog Sale Wednesday, Oct. 4,1922 Brother Breeders, Farmers and Neighbors:I wish to extend to you a cordial invitation to attend my sale of bred Chester White Sows, Gilts and Boars. I can truthfully say that this is a very useful bunch of gilts and sows. I now have the best hogs I ever produced. They are nearly all sired by my great herd boar, BUUCK’S WONDER, which produces the kind of hogs that grow into very large hogs in a short time with proper care. I have purchased an- ■ other young boar from Minnesota which I know is a good one and has the breeding to make him a bigger and better boar than Buuck’s Wonder. He will be 13 months old on Oct. 6th and stands 34 inches high and measures 68 inches from nose to tail. I have crossed nearly all the fall gilts with this ■ wonderful young boar which I know will produce top-notchers. You cannot H make a mistake by buying one or more of this offering. With the low price of corn you can afford to feed your hogs and make a nice profit. 12 bred fall yearling gilts—One tried sow, 24 spring gilts—--9 boars and about 15 head of barrows.
