John the Baptist could not turn the vials of his wrath upon the common folk and overlook such a violation of the laws of God and man as was committed by this ruler. So he proceeded to denounce the tetrarch of his teachings. Naturany enough, this resulted in his arrest. He was taken to the gloomy prison of Machaerus and confined in an underground dungeon.

E The Young People's chorus of the Mennonite church, Berne, will give a sacred concert. This chorus is Christ’s Character By Harlowe R. Hoyt ' In no better fashion is the divinity of Christ propounded than in the lesson which we study in our Sunday Schools this week. John , the Baptist, confined within his dungeon, heard of Christ's attain- | ments. He sent messengers to i ask Jesus if he really was the Messiah. The answer he received was simplicity itself. Christ ordered the investigators to watch his work and draw their own conI elusions. For he knew there could be but one answer from impartial j observers. We have had wise men in the past. They have taught wonderI ful precepts, many of them, of kindness, and justice, and brotherly love. Some have fashioned laws which stand as models of i equity today. Some have propounded philosophies Which form the basis of modern reasoning But none of them has established I himself us a divinity as did the ■ carpenter of Galilee. i Looking back at the life of I Christ — remembering the few brief years given to him for his actual ministry —we cannot but realize the more that his characj ter and life made him one apart ■ from the common clay of mankind. His precepts found new life with his death. His followers gladly met the fate of their master rather than recant his teachings. And because the holy cause was a just cause, the religion grew and prospered, nor could pagan torture or bigoted opposition hold ;it down. So today Christianity rules the world. Yet there is work to ho done. The tight must go on forever, ’nst a- in Jesus' day. there are - i- nv problems to be met and conuered. 'nd the Christian, seek- , ! ng to do his part, must never re•fix his vigilance nor forget that ■is a trust to keep—to carry on 'he example set by Christ — to attain as nearly as is humanly possible the attributes of his ! character.

It was while John the Baptist was confined in this dungeon that word came to him of the preaching of Jesus, bohn had baptized Jesus to be sure tut due to his confinement he had not heard of the great work which was being accomplished. John had preached the coming of the Messiah and had recognized Jesus as such. Yet he sent messengers to question him as to his status. _____________

‘•Art thou he that cometh or look we for another?" John the Baptist inquired. To this question, Jesus replied to the messengers: "Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see.” For Christ at this time was in the second year of his ministry. He had established his headquarters in Capernaum, and he was performing miracles, healing the sick, and emphasizing his message to all.

How did Jesus receive them? ‘ 7. What reply did he make to ■ them? I I 8. What condemnation 'lid 1 Christ utter at this time? 9. How did John the Baptist 1 die? 10. How was his death effected? i ANSWERS - 1 1. The incidents of today’s lesson took place in the midsummer and autumn of 28 A.D.. tlie second I year of Christ's ministry. The place was Galilee and Moab. 2. John the Baptist came as a crusader, announcing the Messiah ' and denouncing the common sins of his day. Herod Antipas, tetr--1 arch of Galilee and Perea, had put - away his lawful wife and was living with Herodias, wife of his brother, Philip. John the Baptist denounced them for this unholy union. 3. John the Baptist was arrested and thrown into a dungeon > Machaerus in the land of Moab. i 4. Word of Christ's preaching was brought to John the Baptist by his disciples, who found metnods of communicating with him. John sent messengers to Christ with the question: "Art thou he that cometh or look we for an- ; other?” 5. Moab lay east of the Dead Sea. It was a long journey from the prison to where Christ was preaching, but the messengers made it willingly, desiring to witness the wonderful work and ' teachings for themselves. 6. Jesus received the messeng-i i ers kindly, listened to their qttes i ’ tions and asked them as to how John fared in his imprisonment. 7. “Go and tell John the things which ye shall see and hear.” 8. At this time, Christ uttered a scathing denunciation of Caper-, ' naum, Bethsaida and Cherazin, i where much of his work had beep done, bwatts" tiie residents had not accepted him as thev should. 9 John tlie Baptist was lieheaded at the order of Herod Antipas. 10. At a banquet, Herodins urged her daughter, Salome, to dame before Herod if he would give her what she asked. Herodias i wished the death of John and had Salome demand his head upon a 1 charger. John was beheaded and his head, on a large tray, was ! brought to Salome in the banquet i hall. 0 Zion Reformed Church Charles M. Prugh, minister Sunday School, 9:15 a. m.
