Tho biut'im of Jonus at Hethabara, on tho tust t ank of the Jordan. Comment and Suggestive Thought. John preached tho things that wi-ro ß,(i-sary before one. could enter tho Kitifrdom of God. (1) Itepentance and confession of sin. (1) A chango of conduct that proved tho repentance to bo sincere. (3) A public prolestiun of this chango of lifo by baptism, essential to tho proof of their sincerity, to perrnananco of the new life, and to power for good. (4) The kingdan of God Is at hand. This preaching led people to Inquire, what does all this mean? Who Is coming? What is coming? The Witness of John to Christ Vs. 19-34. Tho Christian wants proof. The Issues are too Important for credulity. Wo need to know. Tho witness of John Is repeated, reinforced, more and more clearly, all dun tho agos. Tho facts written In the history of 2,000 years confirm his testimony. First. John Witnesses That Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of God. He refused to be called tho Messiah. Ho as merely, ono who announced his mining. And when Jesus returned to IMhabara, John pointed him out to tin people "Here Is the Messiah. TLis is the Redeomer frqm sin. This i- the man whom God by sure aigns made known to me as the Saviour." There Is a great deal of evil in the w rid yot, In the best of countries, In the best of people. But It Is evil fotight against. It is gaining the vietor slowly but surely. The very revelations of evil, the controversies and ronlltcts, are signs that the power cf rhrist Is working upon the evil, a n wr ending conflict till the good has triumphed. Second. John Witnesses to Jesus as the Redeemer from Sin. V. 29. Uphold the Lamb of God." Jesus was $ named by John, because the lamb ;s used in three ways as a symbol of tie deliverance which Jesus brought. Ui John and his hearers were familiar with the representation In Isaiah OV7) of the coming one. "as a lamb led to tho slaughter." (2) Still more would the Jew think of the Passover lamb as the type and promise of national deliverance. (3) The daily eaeriflce of a lamb was continually oefore the Jews, teaching them the meaning of all the sacrifices, and continually reminding them of their reed of an atonement for sin. it Is well worth noting that Jesus died for our sins at the Passover feast, and at the hour of the dally sacrifice. "Which taketh away tho Ein of the world." "To bear away sin Is to remove the guilt and punishment of sin by expiation, or to causo that sin be neither Imputed nor punished." Thayer's Greek-English Lex. m The work of Christ Is to do this for the whole world till this sinful world is changed Into tho sinless Paradise Regained. (2) Jesus provides redemption for all the world. 3i Ho pardons past sin, so that It Is no longo: remembered by him, but Is Wotted out forever. (4) He Is. In fart, removing sin from the world. Wherever ho comes, sin Is In the process of removal from each heart that accepts him, and from the community. Third. The Witness of the Holy St.irit. V. 32. "I saw tho Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, end it abode upon him." He descended not only In the manner of a dove, bat In bodily shape of a dove (Luke 22). This means more than "It wat as plain to him that Jesus was assessed by the Spirit as if he had errt tho Spirit In a visible shapo fcllnhting upon him." It was nocesfry for his assurance, and that of the People, that there should be some visible proof of the descent of tho Spirit, at there was at Pentecost, and the results proved that the sign was accompanied by reality. It may bo 'hat John saw the offects "In thr demeanor of Josus, in his lowliness, and rmpathy, and holiness, all of which came to their perfect bloom at and In hit baptism." Exp. Grcok Test. But the sign that accompanied this power a given to reveal the fact, "in letters that could be read from tho Urs," that the Invisible Holy Spirit was actually present; to make the fact clear and unmistakable; to show the source whence the power and Its effects came. Practical Points. The Dovo expresses the Indwelling of Jesus In our hearts, awakening all tho gentler, loving, affectionate qualities of religion, sweetness of spirit, Kraclousncss of feeling and of manner. Light cannot be hidden. If it ceases to shine, It ceases to exist. The apostle said to the Corinthian Christians, "ie are our epistles . . . known and read of all men . . . manifestly declared to be tho epistle 01 Christ ministered by us, written "ot',lh Ink, but with the Spirit of living God" (2 Cor. 3:2, 3).

DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA" In Bad Case of Eczema on Child Disease Had Reached a Fearful State His Order Resulted In Complete Cure. "When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that It was just a large scab all over, and the pain and Itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use tho Cutlcura Remedies which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. 1 used Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely soy that Cutlcura did a lot for me. Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich.. Oct. 20. 1S07." Both Worked Well. A correspondent sent this "pome" to the New York Sun: Jack Spratt beneath his hat concealed a shining pate; his wife she wore a budding beard, most foeful to relate. Apothecary shops they sought In utterest despair. "Sure Hair Restorer" Jack then bought; his wife bought "AntiHair." One night some sprite In dire delight the bottles did misplace, and Mrs. Jack applied, alack. Jack's lotion to her face. While Jack, alack, took from the rack a bottle on which read: "Depilatory. Use with Care." and doused it on his head. Jack Spratt beneath his hat now sports a lion's mane, his wife Is happy, for her face is soft and smooth again. i r-. . r,. r-- . MSR as Urain rood.

"Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condition that he was compelled to give up a good position that he bad held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and 1 hardly think there was an organ In his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some discussion he decided to give it up. it was a struggle because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try It, and then It was easy to leave off coffee. ills fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink It, too. Although I was never as bad off as my husband, 1 was always very! nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work a3 anyone ray size, 1 think. "Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make It right I have successfully fooled a great many persons who have drunk It at my table. They would remark, "You must buy a high grade ..rr. nun vmini innn vchn rinrKPrl Ul tUUW. WUü - - - In a grocery store was very enthuslas tic about my 'coffee.'

Rockefeller, Jr., In one of the last addresses that he made to his Sunday school class before abandoning it. said of carefulness in business: "Too many business men are careful on one side, their own side, only. Thus a coal dealer whom I used to know shouted one afternoon to an employe who was driving out of the yard: '"Hold on there. Jim! That coal can't have been weighed. It looks a trifle large for a ton to me. "Jim shouted back: "'This ain't a ton, boss. It's two ton.' " 'Oh. all right; said the dealer. In a modified tone. 'Beg your pardon; go ahead.'
