Use Telegraph Want Ads FRIDAY EVENING, BIG MAN WHO CAME IN SECOND "John the Baptist and Jesus" Subject of Sunday School Lesson ("By William T. Ellis.) As now, so it was in tho day of John the Baptizer. A new day was dawning, a now era was about to be igln; tho old order was drawing to an | end. So there had to be an Intro ducer of Tho Things That Wcro To I Be. Somebody must needs speak out i fearlessly somebody who saw the : Inadequacy of the old and the char acter of the new. A crisis without a i prophet would bo only a calamity. Then, as now, the Interpreter who I stood between the two times, was a preacher of righteousness. In all the high hours of life wo listen to the man who speaks for God and the eternal verities. That is why the real preacher, the man whose eyes and ears and lips have been doing busi ness privately with God, is having to-day his opportunity of ages. At a time like tho present, there is supreme need of men such as John tho Bap tizer free men, who have been in the desert, open-souled and alono with God; fearless men, who are not inter ested in holding a job or "iilling a pul pit" but in speaking a message that is vital enough to be sensational; humble men, who are content to pass the laurels and the honors on to oth ers, If only they may point tho way for stumbling feet; God-envisaging men, who are opon-oyed to the divine realities, and the appearing of the Re deemer who comes bringing salvation. Thee aro such men. Successors to John tho Baptizer aro with us to day. Some are ordained ministers of the Gospel; some aro social workers and publicists; some are writers and somo aro teachers. They aro seers of God, who know how to suffer but do not know how to keep silence. All of them are, like John, heedless of expediency; but expediency is not what tho world needs most now adays. Wo already have enough of it to wreck tho nation. Society is overloaded with conservative, pru dent, cautious, tactful and sophisti cated "leaders"; our hope is not in them, but In the few who dare smash precedent, vliolato convention, ignore expediency, and blaze forth with God's clear worth of truth concerning our own day. What if they aro martyred for their message? Like John, they have borne witness to the truth, and that is the highest success possible to mortal. In olden days the words "witness" and "martyr" were used interchangeably, so that the martyrs of Christ were called "witnesses." John had his head cut off long before he saw the triumph of the kingdom he proclaimed; but John has a place in the gallery of earth's few im mortal names. Something of, the flavor of his character lingers in the lines of Louis Untermeyer; "God, though this life is but a wraith. Although we know not what we use, Although wo grope with little faith, Give me the heart to light—and lose. "Ever insurgent let me be, Make me more daring than devout; Prom sleek contentment keep me free, And fill me with a buoyant doubt. "Open my eyes to visions girt With beauty, and with wonder lit— But let me always see the dirt, And all that spawn and die in it. "Open my ears to muslo, let We thrill with spring's first flutes and drums— But never let me dare forgot The bitter ballads of the slums. "From* compromise and things half done Keep me, with stern and stubborn pride; And when, at last, the fight is won. God keep me still unsatisfied." A Sensational Preacher Two Johns figure in this story, and both shine in reflected light. One is John the Evangelist, who wrote the book we are studying and who was at first a disciples of. the other John. This central character, John the Baptizer, was a second cousin of Je sus, and himself the child of won derful birth. A Nazarite, with un shorn locks and life of abstemious ness was John, the wilderness-dwel ler. He had lived apart from men in the majestic spaces and silences of the desert: for ono must have times apart from the world if one is to serve the world. Why should we expect the modern city pastor, slave of a telephone, of countless commit tees and card-catalogs and social engagements, to have a clear, ring ing vital message? The poor man does well if he keeps up with his en gagements and escapes nervous pros tration. Only the man with courage to insist upon solitude can speak the fresh and living word of peace and power to a harassed and over-driven world. ' "A freak" would be the name that cynical and overwise Jerusalem "men about town" naturally applied to John. He did not wear the clerical garb of his time, with bordered robe and ostentatious phylacteries. Dr. James Stalker describes his appear ance tersely: His hair was long and unkempt; and his features were tanned with the sun and tho nir of tho desort. Probably they were thinned, too, by austerity; for his habitual food was of the simplest order, consisting only of locusts and wild honey. Ixjcusts, dried and preserved, form still, at the present day, an article of food in the East, but only among tho very poor: people in the least degree lux urious or scrupulous would not look at It. Wild honey, formed by hives Have a complexion that everyone admires Don't entry a good complexion, havt one. Each time you cleanse your face with Resinol Soap you give it a "beauty treatment" with the soothing, healing Resinol medication.

The raiment of the Baptist corre sponded with his food, consisting of a garment of tho very coarsest and cheapest cloth, made of camel's hair. The girdle of tho Oriental is an arti cle of clothing on which a great deal of taste and expense is laid out, be ing frequently of line material and gay coloring, with tho added adorn ment of elaborate, needlework; but the girdle with which John's gar ment was confined was no more than a rough band of leather. Everything, In short, about his external appear ance denoted ono who had reduced the claims of the body to the lowest possible terms, that ho might devote himself entirely to tho life of the spirit. The Man Who Stood For Something Persons who are posted are not amazed at the outpourings of people to Billy Sunday campaigns and oth er religious revivals. Only one-elded men marvel at those many demon strations of religion's grip upon men. As it was in the Baptist's day, so it is now. The supreme Interest of humanity Is spiritual, Let a man arise anywhere with a clear word from God, and though ho be In the distant desert, multitudes will throng to him, as they did to John beyond Jordan. Every Sunday scores or hundreds of persons crowd to the Fifth Avenue Church, New York, from distant States and foreign lands to hear Rev, Dr. J. H, Jowett. Only last week a friend of mine made a three-day journey to hear Billy Sun day. , It is no before-breakfast jaunt to go to the Jordan from Jerusalem! all of us who have made the trip know that it is not easy, Yet John drew men of all classes that far, and farther to hear his message, lie did not have to go after them: they came to him. Rochester, Minn., has been put on the world's maps because two brothers who led the world in sur gery dwelt there: and many a special train, with a millionaire invalid aboard, has sped to that little town. East Northfleld, Mass., has been trod den by pilgrim feet from all conti nents, because Dwigtit L. Moody es tablished a. center of vital SDlrltual i HARRISBURG &§&&&$ TELEGRAPH teaching there. The world makes a path to the man with a message. John stood for something. He had something to say. Would it embar rass the average graduate of a the ological seminary If the examining committee were to pay to him, "Now, tell us in your own words, what have you to say to the world? Have you a message that justifies a pulpit and a congregation?" Or, to press the case a little far ther, what does the average Christian possess that the world has not? Wherein is he different? Has he a spiritual faith and a body of normal convictions, that other men, without his creed, do not own? lias ne prin ciples that are not on sale In the mar ket place? Is his belief in God clear and steady and strong. In a day of nebulous thinking? We are celebrat ing this year the Quadricentennial of the Reformation; have wo Refor mation convictions? Here Is where tho example of the Baptist crowds us close, Christians are given a power of proclamation and protest; but they do not always exercise either. I once Investigated a horrible lynching in Pennsylvania, ono of tho most barbarous mur ders In all America's dark history and I was told by an eye-witness that many of the 'good people' of this church-going town were spectators, and that tho whole thing could have been stopped had there been any one man of force to protest agitlnst It. Some "leading" churchmen havo flp.oo ben noisy defenders of that murder and of the murderers, but there was no man in town with enough militant righteousness to prevent tho crime, or to bring the criminals to justice. All of which Is a comment upon the principle of John, that piety which does not henr witness to the truth is only pretense. Winning ly Wltnwslin Only witnessing wins the world. That message thunders to us from the banlcii of the Jordan. When ev erybody testifies, by life rather than by voice, to the best he knows, soci ety's level will be steadily lifted. Christ counts on his friends to be His witnesses; but It almost seems as if the church counted on organization. We have organized religion, from the cradle roll to the institutions for old people. No virtue Is complete with out its society. We have societies for evon the oersonal dualities, as truth- telling;, non-swearing, non-smoking, non-drinking, Bible-reading, church going, daily prayer, family-worship, tithe-giving, smile-cattering, and what not. Logically, we should have a league of non-murderers, non-wife beaters, non-safe-robbers! This tendency to substitute organ ization for personal witness-bearing is sharply characterized in H. G. Wells, new novel, "Mr. Britling Sees It Through": "You see all organization, with its implication of finality, is death. What you organize you kill. Organ ized morals or organized religion or organized thought are dead morals and dead religion and dead thought. 1 Yet some ji ganization you must have. Organization if-' like killing cait'e. IC you do not kill some the herd is just waste. But you mustn't kill all or you will kill the herd. The unkilled cattle are the herd, the continuation; the unorganized sxlo of real life. The reality of life is ad venture, not performance. What isn't adventure isn't life." Herald* of the Now Day Organization can' never do the great things. The very tendency of our day to multiply organizations is a sign of weakness. What we most of all need is a ringing voice that will show us the way. John the Bap tist was such a herald. He announc ed himself as only a forerunner, an oriental "sals," the servant who runs ahead of the horse of the notable. His function was merely a preparer of the path of a greater one. Ah, John, you were a great man! When you had the crowds in vour hand, when you held the center of the stage, when all the world honor ed you, to turn all the power and \ privilege and prestige over to an other that Is the quintessence of I greatness. Your mighty message of repentance and of a new social order, was a step in advance of ull that had been uttered by the Hebrew proph ets: it was worthy of being tho center of attention. Nevertheless, you in sisted that you were only a voice in < the deeert, a fingerboard on the road home to Ood. Only greatness could thus recognize greater greatness, John's self-sub ordination to Jesus is sufficient proof that he was a God-called and God equipped man. He asked no greator work than to be a herald of heaven, a messenger of the Messiah, a ser TANUARY 12/1917. vant of the Saviour. "He must in crease, I must decrease." In earth or heaven is there any greater work than this, to exalt the Christ who is Suf ficiency for all the needs of man? Just now, the world waits for the Peacemaker: and there is none ex cept Jesus. So the spirit of John is the spirit of supreme service a bearing witness to the Lord of Life. "When morning gilds the pkies. My heart awakening cries May Jesus Christ be praised: Alike at work and prayer To Jesus I repair; May Jesus Christ be praised. "Be this, while life is mine. My canticle Divine, May Jesus Christ be praised: Be this the eternal song. Through all the ages on. May Jesus Christ be praised." ■ = BRONCHITIS SUFFERER Cured by a Simple Remedy. Columbus.
