THE BAPTISM OF JESUS

z ® fly ft

Six months before the birth of Jesus there had been born to Zacharias, an aged priest, and Elisabeth, his wife, a son whom they named John. Elisabeth was a cousin of Mary, the mother of Jesus. John proved a youth of vision. He was given to religious thought and prayer. When his parents died, he went into the wilderness beyond the Jordan, clothed himself in the skins of beasts, and lived the life of a hermit.

They robbed him of four dollars and then drove away. Descriptions of the men were similar. One mall was described as being six feet tall, weighing about 170 pounds, bushy black hair and wearing a light colored overcoa'. The other man was said to be about five feet seven inches tall, dark complexioned. He did not wear an overcoat. At Honduras residents said the men l were driving an Oldsmobile ■ or Pontiac coach. At Peterson. Mr. Breiner said the men were. driving a Chrysler car with a J 1933 Illinois license plate. The fact that the men took the pos al receipts at Peterson makes the case of federal offense and postal authorities will no doubt order investigators to lake up the clues and search for the bandits. Sheriff Johnson sent out word last evening, notifying state headquarters and had news of the hold ups broadcast. Aside from the information given him by victims of the hold up and residents I ill and near the villages who saw automobiles, presumably driven by the yeggs, no further clues, have been obtained. * Household Scrapbook I —BY— I ROBERTA LEE * ♦ The Hot Water Bottle Do not fill the hot water bottle tp full capacity when used for warming a bed. Three -fourths full is better. When used for relieving pain, one-half full is sufficient. Rinse Well The successful laundress pays particular attention to rinsing everything thoroughly. It gives colored clothes a bright, clear color and helps make the white clothes “snow white.” Peanut Butter A novel kind of sandwich is peanut butter spread on white broad with thin slices of banana.

In the course of time, John the Baptist, as he came to be known, started to preach. He established himself at the fords of the Jordan, where he preached of the Messiah and the necessity of reformation and repentance. To him from Galilee came Jesus, seeking baptism. “I have need to be baptized of thee," John the Baptist told him, but Jesus insisted: "Suffer it now.” So John baptized Jesus in the waters of the River Jordan.

A pleasant prospect, "My presence will go with thee.” Expectation is a great molding force. There is a prize to be won — The Facing Temptation By Harlowe R. Hoyt When Jesus had come to John j the Baptist to be baptized in the River Jordan, he retired into the wilderness for forty days to spend a time in prayer and meditation: and, as he knew, to meet the temptations which it was foreordained he must undergo. Jesus met these tes s without hesitation. Alone in the barren stretches beyond the River Jordan lie identical wilderness in which John the Baptist had spent his period of preparation—Jesus tnr ed to prayer and a contemplation of 'he duties which lay before. During the long forty days and nights lie partook of no ’ food. A little water now and then to relieve his thirst was all that . he a lowed himself. Weakened as he was by this, he was yet too mighty to succumb to the temptations proffered him bySatan. They were many—power, glory, wealth, self-advancement, anything that he would wish of temporal power was proffered. But none of them were of avail. Jesus withstood them all. It was in this manner that he I taught his followers the lesson of self-control. He taught them more —the necessity of preparation for •he duties of ife. and 'he resnonslldlitv of facing those duties without fear of wavering or turning backward. The lesson of Jesus Is a lesson to aP of us. Lei each of ns strive ' and weakness, until we triumph to follow him. despite temptation over evil and wrongdoing.

When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, he left the Jordan and retired into the wilderness, where he spent forty days in fasting, prayer and contemplation in preparation for the great task before him. During that time, the devil tempted him in many ways, offering him power and riches. But Jesus withstood the temptations throughout the long period of his fasting. So ne came from the wilderness strengthened by it all.
