Instead of developing into the strong, vigorous, manly men that nature intended them to be, they find themselves broken down and despondent—no ambition to do anything. They struggle aimlessly along, sooner or later to become victims of dreaded disorders, their finer sensibilities blunted and melr nerves shattered. Is This the Way You Feel?

Phil 2:«-lL PRIMARY TOPIC—What John Said About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—John Proachlnc and Baptising. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A FoarloM Reformer. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Repentance: What It la and What It Duel. I. The Degeneracy of the Time* (vv. 1,2). The Jews bad sunk to a very low level of civil, moral and religious life. Luke carefully enumerates the civil and religious rulers in order to show the profligacy of the times, and therefore the need of a messenger to call the people back to Gpd and virtue. Herod, the son of the Great, was a murderer. Annas and Caiapbaa were corrupt ecclesiastical rulers. 11. The Nature of John’s Ministry (vv. 3-0). In the wilderness he underwent a discipline which fitted him for bis task. Out of the wilderness he flashed forth preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (v. 3). This ministry is declared t* he a fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy. The message was described as one calling upon the nation to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. This preparation was presented under the figure of a monarch of the East about to make a Journey. A servant was sent before to prepare the highway. Valleys needed to be tilled, mountains and hills needed to be lowered, crooked places needed to be made straight and rough places needed to be made smooth. Today before the nations will receive Christ the valleys need to be filled with righteous deeds, the exceeding high mountains of sin and Iniquity need to be brought low, the crocked dealings of the business world must be straightened out, and the rough ways of nations and individuals must be smoothed out. Men must repent of their sins before they can receive Christ. 111. The Content of John's Message (vv. 7-18). 1. Denunciation of Sin (vv. 7,8). He called them "a generation of vipers.” This shows that be charged them with deceitfulness and wickedness Knowing the subtle hypocrisy of these Jews, he demanded evidence of their sincerity—the genuineness of their repentance was to be demonstrated by their works. 2. Announcement of Judgment (v. 9). He declared that the axe was laid at the root of the tree and that the tree not bringing forth fruit was to be hewn down and east Into the fire. John made it very plain that for their sins they should be called into judgment. Paul’s preaching of a judgment to come made Felix tremble (Acts 24:25). 3. Instructions to the Inquirers (vv. 10-14). (1) The people (w. 10, 11). Each man was to turn from his tiesetting sin and show love and kindness to ids fellow men. Clothing and food were to be given those who had need. They were to turn from a life of selfishness and greed and do unto others as they would be done by. (2) Publicans (vv. 12, 13). These taxgatherers who were guilty of greed and oppression were not asked to give up their occupation, but to exact only that which was appointed by law. (3) The soldiers (v. 14). These were likely the policemen of that day—at leaat men on military duty. He told them to extort money from no man, to accuse none falsely, and to be content with their wages. To all these classes he made It clear that they should henceforth perform their duty from a motive of love Instead of selfishness and greed. 4. Testimony to Jesus (vv. 15-18). The people were musing in their hearts as to whether John was indeed the Messiah. When John perceived tills he with fine humility declared that Ids mission was so lowly in comparison with Christ's that he would be unworthy to perform the menial act of a slave in loosing the latchet of His shoes. John baptized with water, but Christ, lie declared, would baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire. IV. John’s Imprisonment (tv. 19, 20). Because of his reproof of Herod for Ids wicked lewdness and other sins John went to the dungeon. The preacher of righteousness must become a martyr. God’s faithful prophet! are usually despised by the world, even cast into prison, burned, or beheaded. Idleness.

We stand firm, independent, alone and forever, just simple, pure Americans.’’ he concluded. Charles M. Niezer, responding to the invitation of the toastmaster, briefly treated of the Gibault home established by the Knights of Columbus at Terre Haute. He opened his address with a tribute to Columbus, exemplar of the order, and eulogized the idea of unity, of equality, of opportunity in American life. He recalled that the Knights of Columbus has given a Christmas donation of SIO,OOO to the Gibault home, that the annual donation of the state councils was more than $5,000, but, he said, “we have a right to feel that all the people should be interested in this enterprise.” o Rally Day at Washington M.

Feels Like She Never Had a Sick Day "The way Tanlac has relieved my buffering and built me up to good health when everything else failed is more Ilian I can understand,'' says Mrs. Louise Brown, 123 g Calumet Ave., Hammond, Ind. “Following three operations I was r.o run-down, nervous and depressed that my housework was like a. uiotiri tain to me. Even the lightest task made me feel so tired and no account that I would have to lie down for hours. Often 1" became so ru-rvous. weak and dizzy I could hardly stand up. Sleep was next to impossible for me and I got up mornings feeling terribly weary and restless. My a|r petite left me and I scarcely ate enough to keep a body alive, and even ■ then indigestion almost set roe wild, i "Well, as nearly everybody on our street was taking Tanlac and praising ■ it I began taking it, too, and I felt | my strength coming back with the i very first bottle. After taking eight bottles my health is fully restored and I am feeling cheerful and happy ns if I had never had a sick day. Tanlac is truly wonderful.” Tanlac is sold bv all good druggists. o + ♦♦ + + + ♦**+ + + + * + ♦ AMERICAN HISTORY + ♦ DAY BY DAY ♦ + By T. P.
