HOW ADAM WAS PUNISHED.
A prominent pastor (ells this story :
"I visited a certain school one da
where Bible instruction was part of th
drily course, and in order to test tit
children's knowledge, asked some ayes
liens. One class of little girls looke bright, and 1 asked th
!lest one : 'What sin did Adam com
t?'
'Ile ale forhodden fruit.'
"'Right. Who tempted Adam?'
!-"Eve."
'Not really Ewe, but the *serpent
And how Was Adam punished?'
"The girl hesitated and look confused.
l:cbind her sat a little eight-year-old
girl, who raised her hand and said:
'Please, pastor, 1 know."
"'Well, tell us. How was Adam pun-
Lehetd ?'
"'Ile had to marry Eve.'"

THE LESSON WORD STUDiIS.
The Final 'testimony of the Baptist. -
• During the period thut Jesus tarried
with his disciples in Judea, irnrneJhalc-
ly succeeding the events described in
cur last lesson, John was still baptiz-
ine and preaching along the Jordan
and its tributaries. Al Anon, near to
Salim In a narrow valley, between
Mount Ebal and the Jordan, word was
brought to the Baptist that the preach-
ing of Jesus was becoming more popu-
lar than his own, as witnessed by the
number of those presenting themselves
for baptism. This information, or me
flier the facts to which it called atten-
tion. gave to the Baptist the opporlun-
lty for n last sublimely loyal testimony
t', the character and mission of Jesus.
This teatlmony LS recorded In verses
2S-36 of the preceding chapter. Ad-
dressing those who had brought to
him the message, "Rabbi, he That was
with Thee beyond the Jordan, to whom
thou hast borne witness, behold, the
same baptirelh, and alt :nee mine to
hint," John utters (hese memorable
words: "Ye youlsehes bear ine witness,
that i cai,f. 1 ani Hol the Christ, but

that O

;elitist testify to the divinity of Jesus,
nd there le no uncertain .sound in his
estinrony. To him Jesus is the Christ,
h-. Son of God, and only Revonler of
he Father. The popularity of Jesus
