Mr. Jones House Burned,
The insurance had lapsed for
only two weeks when the house
of Mr. J. P. Jones on Ninth
avenue caught on fire, and the
entire top was burned off. The
fire department was out prompt
iy but the flames had got too
great headway. The fire start
ed in the cook room up-stairs
where Mr. Jones son and family
had just moved in. It is sup
posed a detective flue was the
cause. The loss is very heavy on
the Messrs. Jones and they lost
practically everything they had.
The father was sick in bed when
it occurred, and cried like a
child as he saw his property go
ing up in smoke.

by Rev. D. M. Steams.
Tba first two verses of our lemon la
trod ac* us to seven men who were, la
a certain sense, great men. but onljr
one was truly grt'at. Caesar. IMlate,
Herod and Philip were great in tba
eyes of tbe world of poUtics ss earth
rulers. Anuaa and Caiapiias as high
priests were great In tbe eyea of re
llgious people, but only of Jobn could
It be truly aald "great in tbe eye* of
tbe Lord." "not a greater prophet tba a

He waa also Oiled wltb tbe Holy Spirit

a very special way.
We read aevon time* in Num. lv
tbat tbe priests began tbeir ministry
when about thirty years of age, so we
Judge from verse 23 of our Ifesoa chap
ter that John, aa wall aa Jesua. began
tbeir public ministry at that age. He
knew when to come forth and begin
because "the word of Ood came unto
him/' So the word of tbe Lord came
unto him In whose aplrlt and power
be went forth (I Kings xvii. 2. 8i
Prom Oea. it. 1, where we read that
"the word of the Lord came unit
Abratu." bow many time* we tlud this
statement and bow much it means of
definite commission from haaven. How
very strong it Is In Escrk. i. 3. where
we read, "Tho word of tbe Lord cam*
expressly unto Eseklel. tbe priest.*
LJuless we each, for ourselves bear Hi*
voice in His word His book is not to
us what it might be. This gospel ma>
be said to begin and and with "repent
ance and remission of sins" (verse 3
I, 77; xxiv. 47). Tbe gospel that does not
proclaim tbe remission of sins by the
blood of Jesua la not tbe gospel of the
grace of Ood. but a pervendon of the
gospel of Christ (Gal. i. 0, 7). ffvery

Lord Jeans Christ and tbua tuvln*
been made a child of Ood and recsfret:
tbe forgiveness of sins, la commission
ed to aay to every unsaved parson.
Through this man la proclaimed unto
you the forgiveneaa of sins" (1 Jobn 11.
12; Jobn L 12; Rev. xxii. 16; Acts xlii.
38. 30).
Tbe herald of the Messiah was pre

Aa ths people wondered at John It waa
