Lesson
(By B. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917. Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR JANUARY 14
JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS.
LESSON TEXT John 1:16-34.
GOLDEN TEXT Behold, the lamb of
God that taketh away the Bin of the
world. John 1:29.
John began his public ministry in the
summer of A. D. 26 and the baptism of
Jesus probably took place In January,
A. D. 27. The delegation from Jerusa
lem to interview John must have ap
peared along toward the latter part of
February.
I. John the Witness (vv. 15-18).
John's ministry created great excite
ment. The people were in expectancy.
All classes were reasoning as to who
this strange but niarvelously forceful
man might be. Some thought perhaps
he was the Christ (Luke 3:15). To
settle this question a committee was
sent to Jerusalem to investigate.
Malachi, the prophet, has suggested the
coming of Elijah (Mai. 4:5) before the
Messiah should come, and . another
prophecy indicated that the prophet
should be like unto Moses (Deut.
18:16-1S). John freely confesses to
tins delegation that he is not the
Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet pre
dicted by Moses. IIow foolish and
silly are those modern ones who pro
fess to be the messenger of the cov
enant or some other fanciful title, In
dicating the return of the witness
which is to precede the coming of
Christ. John exercises humility in the
way he states his real position though
he does apply to himself the prophecy
of Isaiah (Isa. 40:3-5) which sets forth
what his mission was to be. A voice
can be heard but not seen. With our
bodily eyes we never see a spirit. No
man ever saw the soul of his nearest
friend. "We do see God, however, In
his works, In his marvelous deliver
ances and his guidance of the world
and his answers to prayer.
II. John the Baptizer (vv. 19-23).
As John had denied that he was the
Christ or Elijah, the priests and Lev
ites made bold to question his author
ity at a later time (Matt. 21-23), and
still later the authority of the apos
tles and the priests (Acts 5:2S). John
answers them with another display of
his humility. Ills baptism in water
was nothing io the baptism of the
coming one (See Matt. 3 :11 ; Acts 1 :5).
Though Christ was in their midst, they
were blind and did not recognize him.
(See vv. 10, 11; ch. 8:19; 16:3).
John'f baptism of repentance denotes
a baptism which a penitent submitted
to that he might receive the pledge
and assurance that his sins were for
given Baptism meant the cleansing
of the people from past sins that they
might be fitted for entrance into the
kingdom. Baptism is not conversion.
It is a witnessing and a symbol of a
spiritual truth that we are dead unto
sin, and have risen to newness of life
(Rom. G:3-5). Like John, our voice
must be not only that of humility but
it must be really a voice with a mes
sage from God, one that sounds an un
mistakable note, one that can be heard
wherever we go, one that will make
men happier, stronger, braver, more
like God, to prepare the way for Christ
in the hearts of men.
III. The Witness of the Spirit (vv.
28-34). The writer is very explicit,
stating the exact time that these things
occurred, for he was an eye witness.
John first testifies that Jesus was the
Lamb of God, referring of course to
the sacrificial larb, the atoning sacri
fice of the Old Testament (Gen. 22:7-8;
Ex. 12:3; Isa. 53:7). As the Lamb of
GOd, Jesus would take away the sins
of the, world; thus the'thought is pri
marily that of atonement, a substitu
tion of another and the deliverance
from the guilt of sin. The next day
after John's witness to the delegation
from Jerusalem, he saw Jesus coming
unto him, and said to the assembled
people, "Behold the Lamb of God."
This refers not so much to his charac
ter, that of Innocence, meekness and
patience, as to his office, his completed
work of atonement by the sacrificial
death wherein he takes away the sins
of the world. On the ground of the
propitiation for sin which Jesus
wrought I John 2:2; Matt. 20:28; II
Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) sin is removed
from the sinner as far as the East Is
from the West God dealt In mercy
with men before Christ's time because
of the lamb which was slain from the
foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).
Here John says that at first he did not
recognize Jesus as the Messiah, but he
does bear record that he saw the
spirit descending at his baptism, and it
abode upon him.
The work of Christ Is for the whole
world till all Its sin Is removed.
He is actually removing sin from the
world, and when he comes again, sin
will be banished. Luke's record adds
that this same Messiah Is to baptize
with the Holy Ghost and fire.
Christians are to be on fire for God.
The gift of the holy spirit at Pente
cost was the first and most manifest
expression of this power of Christ who
Is the real baptizer. Begotten of God
(Luke 1:35), possessed of all the at
tributes of the Father (Phil. 2:6), the
one In whom the fullness of the God
head dwelt bodily (Col. 2:9) he is to be
honored and worshiped as God (Hen.
1:6).
Attractions of
Christian Work
By REV. HOWARD W. POPE
Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago
TEXT Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth la
borers Into his harvest. Matthew 9:38.
Many complaints are heard In these
days about-the scarcity of Christian
workers. We are
told that the
streams are
dwindling just as
the time when the
banks should over
fl o w . Doubtless
there are many
reasons for this,
but one principal
reason, 1 am sure,
Is the fact that so
little Is said about
the attractions of
Christian work.
We are con
stantly Informed
that ministers as
a class are over
worked and underpaid, and that they
cross the "deadline" at fifty, but sel
dom do we hear the other side pre
sented. There Is another side, and If
those who enjoy their work would oc
casionally set forth Its attractions,
surely there would he more young men
to say: "Lord, here am I, send me!"
Among the minor attractions the fol
lowing may be mentioned:
1. It is a life of contact with men
and books. It compels one to read,
think and study human nature. A
Christian worker may indulge In a
wider range of reading than most men.
If he has any hobby, such as botany,
geology, or electricity, he can pursue
it to his heart's content. No knowl
edge comes amiss to him. Nature and
the supernatural are so related that
one illustrates and explains the other.
For a lawyer or doctor such studies
would be a digression, but a Christian
worker may explore the heavens, the
earth, or the bottom of the sea, and
come back better fitted for the special
work to which God has called hlra.
2. The variety of the work is also an
attraction. Preaching, prayer meet
ing and visiting the sick are but a
small part of it. lie is expected to
agitate temperance, to be enthusiastic
on missions and to aid Christian en
deavor. In fact, every good cause
looks to him for support. To be sure,
with so many calls upon him, he has
little time for profound study, but out
of It all he gains experience and ver
satility and becomes a good, all-around
man. He learns what his forte is, and
if he is wise he devotes himself main
ly to that, leaving to others the work
for which he is not fitted. Of all call
ings ours is the least monotonous. It
is a life of constant activity and con
tinual change.
3. One of the chief attractions of
Christian work to ine Is the opportu
nity which It affords for religious
growth. What I am spiritually I owe
':o my profession. Indeed, knowing my
3isposition, I am convinced that had I
chosen any other calling I should by
this time have had a good bank ac
count and a soul as small as a mus
tard seed. A soul-winner must be a
good man or fail. His own or others'
necessities drive him constantly to the
throne of grace and compel him to
live In closet fellowship with God.
4. It is no more than fair to admit
that there are some discouragements
as well as attractions. Inadequate com
pensation Is one of them. The Chris
tian worker Is exported to have the
instincts of a millionaire, the generos
ity of a prince, to dress as well as
the best, and to do it all on a small
Income.
5. The supreme attractlou of Chris
tian work, however, Is the opportunity
which it affords for usefulness, and
usefulness of the highest kind. The
merchant, the manufacturer and the
farmer are all useful men. They sup
ply the wants of the body ; but our
business is to transform the body into
a temple of the Holy Ghost. The sur
geon sets broken bones; but we heal
broken hearts. The lawyer adminis
ters justice, but the Christian worker
proclaims mercy. The one examines
titles of real estate, while the other
secures titles to mansions In the skies.
A million a month are dying in China
without a knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The entire continent of Africa Is still
clothed in darkness, for we have only
touched the hem of her garment with
the days of Gospel light. The agoniz
ing appeals of our home-missionary su
perintendents are enough to thrill a
heart of stone. Surely the wants and
woes of humanity are in themselves
an attraction. And if nnythlng more
were needed. Is it not found In the
final words of our blessed Master: "All
power is given unto me In heaven and
earth. Go ye therefore unto all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature."

Two boys had indulged in a physical
encounter on the playground. .Tt the
end of the affray they were summoned
before the teacher to give an account
of their misdeeds. One of them had a
bloody nose. The teacher looked upon
this sanguinary feature with horror,
and endeavored to instill in its infiictoi
certain pacific principles.
"Now, Billy," she said, "I think you
ought to apologize to Jimmie."
"Huh ! I ain't a-goin' to apologize for
no accident !" Billy answered.
"Accident? Why, Billy, how can you
call it an accident? Didn't you intend
to hit Jimmie on the nose?"

A Great Discovery
(BT J. H. WATSON, M. D.)
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are duo to
a dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood Is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
tles In the feet, ankles and wrists ; or
under the eyes In bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily recog
nized symptoms of Inflammation caused
by uric acid as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid In
the blood, has caused vheumatism, lum
bago, sciatica, gout, it Is simply wonder
ful how quickly Anuric acts ; tho pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take a glass of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys.
Step into any drug store and ask for
Anuric, many times more potent than
llthia and eliminates uric acid M hot
water melts sugar.
