THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Interesting Bible History for Present Day Readers

Iloth aic pregnant with deep meaning and practical bearings. The P.aptist's estimate of himself was occasioned by the question which the deputation of piiests mid Lcvite from .1! usah iii put to him: "Who art thou?" It is a Pjinptoiu of the soundnes of

The man who is conscious that he ha a message to deliver to his fellow men is the laut person t think of himself or protrude himself upon others or make claims in behalf of himself. Not to Be Mistaken for Another. The first thought suggested in the Paptist's mind bythe iifquiry addressed to him was that he wü being mistaken for his Ma-ler. Without hesitation, and in the most emphatic and unambiguous term he hastened to" correct the mistake. How many religion leader in the history of the world have failed to react against the suggestion that they were gr.eater thin they knew themselves to be. Without actually claiming that they were the Christ they have assumed upon themselves the authority and the prerogatives which only the Master can

The answer to these questions j uVpciulcntly of any relation to himself is to be found in the fact that prophecy " . t declare him to be the Sawas to the Jews a peculiar national iiw'viour of the world from sin. "Behold stitution that must be carefully watched the Lamb of God that takcth away the over and guarded. False prophets must f the World." The question how not be allowed to mislead the people; i'liJ Iüh to I'FruJ thi greatneither must true prophets be discur-jt of all truth in human life and hisaged or hindered in their work.

sin of tho worTa, but also in calling Christ' work baptism "in the Spirit" John shows an infinitely higher conception of the Mcssiahship of Jesus than the men around him had. He alone can give an adequate estimate of Christ who apprehend in a measure the meaning of his person and work for the salvation of men. To learn about the outward circumstance of hi earthly life, to identify the place where he worked and the date of the events concerning him, even to be able to repeat hi word fully and exactly is not as yet to qualify one's self to witness to him. This kind of knowledge is good so far as it goes, but he who would prepare the way for Christ's coming to the lives of men today must be able to speak of hi mission as Savious- from sin and a baptizer with the Holy Spirit.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING

(By Nels Darling.) The merchant who docs not advertise is like the fellow who throw a kis to hi sweetheart in the dark he know what he is doing, but no one else doe. Here is one for the fellow who thinks he does not have to advertise because he ha9 been in business so long that every one know him. While he is keeping quiet about hi merchandise, the catalog house and mail order concerns are getting acquainted with his companies. You notice they keep right on advertising, going after the orders iwid getting the business the local dealer ought to corral. Good advertising i a magnet that draws trade. Wake up, Mr. Oldtimcr. Although you have been in the community so long that you are a landmark so long that some

J folk w ith grown children count you among their earliest recollection you need to advertise just the same. Have you heard of any big tore in the city j that ha stopped advertising because it 1 is t-o well known! Keeping everlastingly I at it brings success. Some of you dealer waste so much money in misdirected advertising. You pay space on a hotel room placard that i read by a lot of traveling men who do ; not trade with you. You allow some advertising fakir to l.ornswoggle you into buying space in a progra.n, book or directory that is not wort Ii, one-tenth the i price you pay for it. Money you epend j in this way would purchase a lot of good space in your local newspaper that is read by a thousand or more people who are your prospective customer.

Highway Superintendents will hold its annual meeting during the road school. Practically all of the lectures will be illustrated with photograph of Indiana roads. There will be an extensive collection of Indiana highway photograph on exhibition. Thi school oilers an exceptional opportunity for road officials to get new idea from the work which official in other localities are doing. The Road School is under the direct management of the Highway Engineering Department of Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, which will be glad to mail program and other detailed information upon application.
