LESSON Ili
''lC'IHIE, FORERUNNER OF THE
KING—Matthew 3
Printed Text, Matt. 3:1-17
Golden Text Make ye ready
the way of the Lord, make ham
paths straight... Matt. 3:3.
Approximately thirty yeas
have elapsed between the close of
the second chapter of Matthew's
Gospel and the events now de-
scribed in our lesson. 1. And in
those , days cometh John the Bap-
tist, preaching in the wilderness
of Judaea, saying. 2. Repent ye;
SOT the kingdom of heaven is at
hand. The word "repent" nteans
a change of inner thought or pure
pose. John implied that the king-
dom of heaven (a spiritual realm)
was at hand on earth, right there
in Palestine. The kingdom of
heaven includes all those subjects
who yield to the rule of heaven.
3t is found first in the hearts of -
Voice In The Wilderness
3. For this is he that was spok-
en of through Isaiah the prophet,
asaying, The voice of one crying in
the wilder:iess, Make ye ready the
way of the Lord, Make his paths
straight. Since Malachi (460 to
430 B.C.) four centuries had pass-
ed without a prophet coming for-
ward to lead Israel. Through John
God sent a message to the nation,
breaking the silence.
4, Now John himself had his
raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about, his loins;
and his food was locsts and wild
honey. 5. Then went out unto him
Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all
the reg'on round about the Joa'-
dun. The message of God's auth-
orit, stirred every place and every
one. 6. And they were baptized
of him in the river Jordan, confes-
sing their sins. The rite of bap-
tism served as a sign of changed
life, and the washing away of sins.
Its value here depended on the
cleanness of the heart.
Baptism By Fire
7. But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadduccees coming
to his baptism, he said unto them,
Ye offspring of vipers, who warn-
ed you to flee from the wrath to
come? John describes "the tam-
ing wrath" as threatening all
God's enemies, including impeni-
tent Jews. 8. Bring forth there-
fore fruit worthy of repentance:
J. and think not to say within
reursely -.We...have_"Abraham foeM
our father: for I say unto you,
that God is able of these stones to
raise up children unto Abraham.
Many of these people' were trust-
ing to their Jewish blood for a fa-
vorable standing before God. John
says there must be a change in
one's outward life if one's heart
is really repentance—fruit of re-
pentance.
10. And even now the axe lieth
at the rdot of the trees: every tree
therefore that bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire. The axe falls after
the death of Christ. 11. T indeed
baptize you in water unto repent-
ance: but he that cometh after me
is mightier than I, whose shoes I
'am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptize you in the Holy Spirit and
in fire. John speaks of Christ as
one who brings us into contact
with the melting, cleansing, vital-
izing fire from God. Without hint
it will never purify our souls. We
need more than outward washing
—we need inward cleansing by
fire.
12, Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will thoroughly cleanse his
threshing -floor; and he will gather
his wheat into the garner, but the
chaff he will burn up with un-
quenchable fire. Christ reveals
the quality of men. 13. Then corn-
eth Jesus from Galilee to the Jor-
dan unto John, to be baptized of
him. 14. But John would have
hindered him, saying, I have need
to be baptized of thee, and cont-
est thou to me? John knew a man
without sin when he saw him. 15.
But Jesus answering said unto
him, Suffer it now: for thus it be -
cometh us to fulfil all righteous-
ness. Then he suffereth him. Je-
sue baptism was his formal iden-
tification with sinful mankind. 16.
And Jesus, when he was baptized,
went up straightway from the
water; and lo, the heavens were
opened unto him, and he saw the
Spirit of God descending as a
dove, and coming upon hire. The
Dove endues Christ with the pow-
er of the Holy Spirit for his great
ministry.
17. And lo, a voice out of the
heavens, saying, This is my belov-
ed Son, in who 1 am well pleased,
Nova Scotia farmers believed an
epidemic had broken out among
their cattle when three cows in 1
the same pasutre died, each show-
ing similar symptoms. A search 1
disclosed the cattle had been lick- 1
ing a discarded paint bucket I
which had been left in the pasture
12 years ago.
Rooseve$t Calls For Neutrality Act Revision
President Roosevelt is shown as he addressed- the special joint session
of congress, which was called to discuss the American Neutrality Acct.;
The president urged that the Neutrality Act be put on a cash and carry
basis. Seated behind the president is the Speaker of the House, William
B. Bankhead.
Production Of
Quality B,. tom
Wheat and Oats Most Suitable
Feed For Bacon Hogs --
Corn Used to Fatten Theon
In the feeding of swine, barley,
wheat and oats stand out as being
the most suitable for the produc-
tion of quality bacon. Corn, how-
ever, may be fed advantageuosly
to fattening hogs and even to the
growing of pigs, if a sufficient am-
ount of protein is added to bring
the ration up to the necessary pro-
tein level. Hominy meal, a milling
by-product of corn, is similar in its
feeding value.
In all instances better results
will be obtained from feeding the
ground grain than from whole
grain. The milling 'by-products of
wheat (bran and shorts) may also
be fed to good advantage in ra-
tions for specific purposes.
Sources of Protein
Dairy products are the most sat-
isfactory sources of proteins with
which to balance the ration of a
bacon hog. They are rich in miner-
,els,
iner-Sig, particularly calcium: and phos
phorus. Ii these dairy products are
not available, tankage, meat meal,
fishmeal, oileake or soya bean oil-
meal may be used to bring about
the necessary protein level for
whatever age or class of pig that
is being fed. Of the protein feeds
mentioned, combinations of two or
more of them make for greater
variety and give better results
than any of them fed singly.
Dominion Minister of Labor
In the Cabinet shuffle recently
made at Ottawa Hon. Norman Mc-
Larty, former Postmaster -General
assumed the portfolio of Minister
of Labor, succeeding Hon. Norman
Rogers, who is now Defence. Min-
ister.
Weather Report For
Hay Fever Victims
Hay fever victims of Louisville,
Ky., have a special weather report
all their own.
A local newspaper each day
prints in its Page 1 weather box
the "Pollen Count." Designed as
an aid to hay -fever sufferers• num-
bering in the thousands, the re-
port tells the number of ragweed
pollen in each cubic yard of air.
The readings tell sufferers how
"sniffly" the day will be, thereby
giving them the same coldly scien-
tific pleasure that the average per-
son takes in reading the thermo-.
meter en days when a hot sun
pours down.
Aggregate sales of 1,073 retail
hardware stores in Canada total-
led $35,931,800 in 1938 compar-
ed with $34,872,100 in 1937.
Predicts 'h ar
ill Kill "Swin "
Well-known Orchestra Leader
Says the Reaction Against
That Type of music Has All,.
ready, Set la
The European war is going to be
the death of swing music, accord-
ing to Isham Jones.
Jones has been directing some of
the hottest bands on this continent
for the last 20 years and he has
been swinging it with the best,
"1'm preparing," he saki, "to
wont out a new orchestral setup
before my band reopens in New
York, adding several violins in an-
ticipation of the predicted trend
away from swing.
People Want Pain Eased
"The reaction already is begin-
ning to set in, and I think the com-
ing of war is going to hasten the
return of the ballad, of sweeter
music, of more harmony and less
rhythm.
"A world shocked by the daily
horrors of war will want music
that eases the pain of it rather
than hopped -up jazz. The change
has begun. The jitterbug craze has
reached its peak and will pass be-
fore spring."
atchyour Heart
After Middle Age
De. John W. S. McCullough
writes: "By the time definite heart
signs appear, be it pain, tightness
under the sternum (breast bone)
pain to the left of the heart and
down the left arm, some damage
has been done. In some cases there
are signs of so-called indigestion,
shortness of breath during or after
slight exertion or inability to lie
on the same low pillow you have
always been used to.
"The foregoing are warning
signs that you can no longer keep
step with the younger generation.
You may have to change your man-
ner of living and avoid over-exer-
tion. Work and play must be regu-
lated so that you get enough but
not too much physical exercise. A
moderate amount of outdoor exer-
cise will be good for you but it
must not be violent. Pulling, and
straining, also heavy lifting and
rushing for street cars must be
avoided. The weight, should be
kept down. Too much bulk is a
strain on -the heart..
