John the Baptist is one of the trios
extraordinary figures in the history o
Israel: Prophecy, asleep for centur
ies, seemed to have found a new voice
in his thrilling and impassioned roes -
sage, and our Lord, as we know, rank-
ed him above all the prophets.. Matt.
11: 7-14. Like the prophet Elijah, he
came from the desert, and frowned on
the soft and corrupt life of cities. Like
Elijah, he summoned the people to
decide for God, and to be done with
evil. Even his dress and manner re-
called the ancient prophet. But his
announcement of the immediate com-
ing of the Messiah was new. 'It had
been supernaturally revealed to John
that the Day of Judgment, the Day of
the Lord, was at hand, and he came
forward summoning men to repent.

V, 1. The words are equivalent to
"Here begins the joyful news concern-
ing Jesus the Massie!), the Son of
God." Note that Mark, which is our
earliest Gospel, does not speak of
Jesus' 'birth, but confines itself to his
public work which began with his
baptism by John.
Vs. 2, 3. The Christian church sees
in the mission of John the fulfilment
of ancient prophecies. Two such pro -
homes are here quoted. The first is
front Malachi d:1, and refers to the
xpectatian of Elijah's return, Mal -

the language has been slightly chang-

Christ), because John prepares the

bedewings of Christian history, and
ailed them "testimonies,"
V. .1. John instituted the ceremone
al rite of baptism as a sacrament of
leansing from past sins. He was
dealing with many who by their evil
yes had put themselves beyond the
ale of the ordinary legal purifica-
ions. The second half of the verse
cans: "He preached a baptism indi-
sting repentance, and pointing f or -

V. 7, John proclaimed the coming of
a mightier One, namely, the Messiah -
of current expectation. John did not
yet know that Jesus would be the Mes-
siah. The words about the Messiah's
"shoes" mean that John counted him-
self less than a slave in comparison
with the Messiah. It was a slave's
duty to unloose and carry his master's
shoes.

Nearing Agreement
Important Decisions Expected
in Cairo From the Cur-
rent Negotiations
Cairo.—Tho political situation in
Egypt since the return from London
of the Premier, Sarwat Pasha, has
given rise to considerable speculation
in regard to the future of the country.
Official circles are observing the ut.
most reticence regarding the precise
nature of the negotiations which took
place in London and are being follow-
ed up here between the Premier and
the British High Commission, p
n n but cor-
taan reports which have ve found their
way into the press make it clear that
developments of a far-reaching char-
acter aro imminent.
That no definite agreement has been
reached between the British and
Egyptian authorities is certain, but
it is evident that the broad lines of an
agreement have been laid.
According to the Almolcattam, a
leading daily which is generally well f
informed, Sarwat, while in London,
succeeded in allaying the fears of the
British Government regarding public
security an Egypt should British
troopswithdrawn1
be from the capital
to the Suez Canal. He further ob-
tained the British assent to modifica-
tion of the capitulatory regime, pro-
vided other powers would agree, and
succeeded in getting Great Britain to
give up the lea of taking part In tho
protection of foreigners.
After the conclusion of an Anglo-
Egyptian treaty whereby the status
quo which preceded the murder of the
Sirdar will be restored, Great Britain
would support Egypt's candidature:
for the League of Nations and would
not object to an increase in the Egyp-
tian army so as to enable Egypt her-
self to defend the Suet Canal.

HOW SHE WORKED IT
"I always get so many Christmas
presents I don't know what to do
with them."
"Hal hal Aren't YOU wise yetf
I always use them for birthday
presents throughout the coming
year."
Stance
To carve the bird with power,
smoothness and accuracy it is nem -
5 y
evessary to have a correct position with
respect to it, This is called "ad.
dressing the bird." The thing to do
is to take a comfortable •position, feet
firmly planted on a -line with the bird,,
elbows at the side, squarely facing
the platter, There are many varia-
tions of the stance,but the important
thing is for the carver to be directly
over the bird. Do not get too far
away nor yet too close.
Mental Attitude
Nothing is more important in -bird
carving than mental poise. Probably:."`'
nine-tenths,1
of the atrooloua' carving.
done at Canadian dinners Is directly "•
attributable to the so -cabled "mental
hazard.". An amazing number of
people approach the bird in a state of
Confusion, agitation and doubt. They
are all -of -a -flutter. Their one thought
is to let fly and trust to luck.
Now without perfect co-ordination
of mind and muscle no bird can be
carved with that smoothness and
precision that marls the, play - of the
really good carver.
Every carver, veteran or .tyro,
should In addressing the bird repeat
to himself these three thoughts:
1—This is all finite simple. There
is nothing to worry about.
2-I am' 'cool and relaxed.
3—I don't care how many eyes aro
watching me. I am the captain of
•m' fork, the master of my knife!
Grip
The best carvers employ a ••rather
Ioose clutch, with the index finger
down the shaft of the weapon, but it
is a matter of Choice. As long as the
carver's fingers are not cramped or
taut, and he has the rigl't "feel," his
grip should give him little trouble, al-
though, generally 'speaking, neither
the knife nor the fork should be grip-
- ped overhand like a stiletto- Pustule
using the stiletto grip will get start-
ling. even seneittinnal, results at
times, but their work will be erratic,
Stroke
For Shorter Speeches
A number of humanitarian Mem-
bers of Parliament are forming a
group the members of wilidh are
pledged not to speak in the House
of Commons longer than fifteen min-
utes at a time.
Sir Samuel Chapman, organizer, de-
clares it will get 200 adherents, and
hopes the. Speaker of the Hones will
favor them instead of the long-wind-
ed orators.
John S. McGraw, manager of the
Now York Giants, says it will not be
long before the professional baseball
teams will be doing all their traveling]
by airplane. Should this ever be the
case, however, the pitohere presuma-
bly will still be sent by train, as the
boxman should never be allowed to
