est man, for Jesus
or at least one so great that he
could think of none greater was
one of his own contemporaries;
cousin of hla who was in jail at the
time when Jesus said of blm,
"Among those born of women none
is greater than John." Known to us
as John the Baptist, that ta, John
the Baptizer, we seldom realize
either hi greatness or the close
connection between his life and
that of Jesus. -
.-
John of the Jordan
WE DO not know how much
Jesus himself owed to John.
We do know that John was the man
who first-called the public's atten
tion to Jesus. John it was who gave
some of Jesus' most important dis
ciples their first training; John who
introduced to Jesus, and turned
over to him, some of his own toK
lowers. It may be significant too
that Jesus' first preaching was iden
tical with that of John (compare
Matthew 8:2 and 4:17).
. Some ChrbtlM scholars have
gene to far as to soppoee that
it waa John's preaching- that
' stirred the young carpenter
from Nasareth to leare hla she
aad begin hla great work as
teacher.
Whether this is so or not, we do
know that it was the baptising by
John which led to the baptism of
Jesus, and that Jesus' baptism was
the turning-point between Jesus'
private life and hla short an
stormy public career. It la quite
clear that If there had been no
John the Baptizer, the story of
Jesus would have been very differ
ent from what It actually was.
Only a Voice
JOHN'S own picture of himself Is
not a picture at all. When they
asked him to say what he was, and
half-expected him to declare that
be was the Messiah, the long
looked for King. John said only, "I
am the voice of one crying In the
wilderness." ;
. John, so far ae w kaew
ever accepted dinner Invita
tions, ha was never oader the I.
roof of any friend, and he had
no reef of hla own. Foeple erea .,
called him deman psaeeseod, he
was so far removed from ardl 1
aary life. ,,-s
But Jesus was always In people'
homes. That is one reason why the
greatness of John fades before the
greatness of Jesus, for a Voice
makes a poor companion. Jesus
had the human sympathy that John
lacked, and John well kribw this.
"He must increase, hut I must de
crease." he said, .
Repentance: Seed and Fruit
NEVERTHELESS the Voice
spoke truth. John must have
been a powerful preacher, for his
meetings were held miles from the
nearest town, so that to reach him
from Jerusalem one would have to
travel through wild country in
fested with bandits. Few modern
preachers, without benefit of ad
vertising, music or choir, without
even tent, would dare to start
revival meeting IS rough miles out
of town. But John did and the
people came in crowds. We do not
have the full report of his preach
ing that we have of the preaching
of Jesus, but we do know that be
broke the hard crust of hla listen
era' conscience. S i, .. V

BEULAVTLLE
When men asked him, What shall
w doT John did not have the full
er, higher message that Jesus later
had. But be did make plain two
things about the good life, the life
that pleases God: It cannot even
begin without repentance and con
fession of sin, but it, doe not end
there. Repentance 1 not a simple
granite milestone on life' way; it
is a seed which if It la real will
bear fruit " ' ' f -

Yes, pretty Ine Hufham, who is shown
-,. here testing electric meter for Tide Water
Power, is using three eyes! The third one
is the electric eye which is testing the
meter she is working on. Each month the
, testing machine is checked for accuracy '
by the U. S. Bureau of Standards. In "
Tide Water's own "Bureau of Standards" v'
every meter is tested regularly to make -
sure that Tide Water customers will be
charged only for current actually used.
Miss Hufham is quite a person. On the .
job, she has the record of being one of
the- crack meter-testers of the country.
Off the job, she is one of the leaders in
the community. She is the newly-elected
President of the YWCA in Wilmington,
for example, i - '
