Baptism has the meaning of wash
ing or purification effected by means
of water. The Greek verb baptizo
means “to make clean with water”.
Baptism in the New Testament and
in Christian practise today fe a rite,
with water, symbolizing our being
cleansed from sin.
John the Baptist’s message to his
nation, .Israel, was: “Repent ye; for
the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
He plainly declared that he was sent
in fulfilment of a prophecy of Isaiah
(40:3), to “Prepare . , . the way of
the Lord,-make His paths straight.”
Great multitudes flocked after him.
It was more than John the Baptist
speaking to them—it was God Him
self by the Holy Spirit, speaking
through John. Men were convicted
of their sins, and multitudes “were
baptized of him in Jordan, confess
ing their sins.”
People were ready to think that
John was the Messiah. But he cried
out: “I indeed baptize you with wa
ter unto repentance: but He that
cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear
He shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire.”
Then a strange thing happened.
Men were coming to John confessing
their sins; and water baptism is a
rite standing for cleansing from sin,
“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to
Jordon unto John, to be baptized of
him.”
But Jesus Christ was sinless. And
John recoiled from the suggestion
that he should baptize his Lord: I
have need to be baptized of Thee, and
comest Thou to me?”
It was a marvellous demonstration
of His humility, and His identifica
tion with men, that the sinless Son of
God, who had condescended to' be

ZURICH JUNIOR INSTITUTE
The monthly meeting of the
rich Junior Institute was held in
Town Hall, Zurich, last Wednesday
evening, May 1st. The meeting was
opened by the president, Miss Irene
Mousseau followed by the Institute
Ode and the Lord’s Prayer. The
minutes of the last meeting were
then read, by the Secretary Annie
Coleman and adopted. The business
was then dealt with. The roll call
was answered to by "Charactersitics
Off an Attractive Personality.” Next
was the motto “The Correct Act of
Waiting” by Miss Anfitoinette Gu~
mier. Miss Irene Mousseau then
told the girls about :her Visit to Hur-
ondale and 'Clinton where they dis
cussed the District Annual and
Achievement Day which are to' be
held in Seaforth. Next was an dllus-
*tration and talk on ‘Care of the Sick’
by Miss Mary Coleman followed by
a nut contest. Then Misses Irene
Mousseau and Mary Coleman gave a
demonstration on making a crepe
paper flower out o f a tobacco can
and the meeting closed by singing
“The Maple Leaf Forever.” We then
joined with the boys for the joint
meeting at which an enjoyable time
was spent. The next meeting will be
held oni Wednesday evening, June 5.
There is a whole sermon in a re
mark that Henry Ford’s secretary
made the other day. In Mr. Ford’s
business creed, he said, if one goes
out primarily for profit he misses it,
profit, like happiness, being a by
product.
Happiness as a by-product will
strike many as a new idea; but that
is precisely what it’ comes to. Hap
piness is not something than can be
captured by pursuing it. It is only
attained by pursuing something else.
The road to1 happiness is the road
of self-respecting duty, of loyalty to
obligations, of unselfish goodwill to
ward others. It may not be-—seld
om is— the iroad to riches or to
power, The time comes in every
body’s life when the decision has to
be .made between the pursuit’ of plea
sure or the pursuit of duty.
Exactly the same is true of busi
ness. Business that does not put
service and quality, ifair dealing and
honesty first, never in the long run
makes a real profit. If profit is the
sole motive of a business, that busi
ness lacks the solid basis that will
enable it to weather depressions and
meet competition.

Christ sure-
identified Himself »o completely with
sinful humanity that He could say
to John: “Suffer it to
for thus if becometh us
righteousness.”
The baptism of Jesus
ly was a prophetic parable, in actual
fact, of His bearing the sins of all the
world in HA own body on the cross,
as He “who knew no sin” was “made
... to be sin for us” (2 Cor. 5:21)
What followed this unique baptism
“The heavens were opened unto Him
and He saw the .Spirit .of God des
cending like a dove, and lighting up
on Him; and io a voice from Heaven
saying, This is My Beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.”
There is one of the many Scripture
passages that declare the Trinity—
God in three persons. Here was the
Son of God on earth. Here was the
Holy Spirit of God coming upon Him
And here was the Father in heaven
speaking of His Son and to His Son.
After Christ liad'died on the cross
and had risen again, He .gave His
disciples their- marching orders foir
foreign missions, “Go ye therefore
and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost.”
On the Day of Pentecost, when the
Holy Spirit had come upon the apos
tles in power, Peter preached one of
the greatest sermons in Christian
history, He declared to “all the
house of Israel” that “God hath made
that same Jesus, whom ye (have cru
cified, both Lord and Christ.” They
were cut to the heart, convicted of
sin, anjl cried out asking what they
should do.
Peter had good news for them:
“Repent, and be baptized every one
of you. in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost
They believed now, in the saving
power of Him whom they had cru
cified; and “they that gladly receiv
ed His word were baptized,” and
these saved souls were “about three
thousand.”
• Ethiopia is on the front' pages of
the newspaper just now; and Ethio
pia was prominent nineteen centuries
ago in God’s plan for the evangeliza
tion of the world, “A man of Ethio
pia,” and “of great authority under
Candace, Queen of the Ethiopians,
who had charge of all her treas
ure,” ihad gone to Jerusalem to wor
ship and was returning in his chariot
to his own land, when Philip was di
rected by the Holy Spirit to join him.
The Ethiopian was reading the Bible

chapter, one of
prophecies of
death of Christ.
stand the meaning of what he read,
but Philip “began at the same Scrip
ture, and preached unto him, Jesus.”
The light and truth flooded the
Ethiopian's heart, and he asked to
be baptized. After he had made his
confession of faith, “I believe that
Jesus Christ is the 'Son of God,”
Philip gladly baptized him as the
sign of the forgiveness of his sins
and his new birth.

A pretty spring wedding took1 place
at St. Thomas Anglican Church in
Granton, when Elizabeth, younger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Foster, .of Granton, was united in
marriage to Ernest’ R., youngest son
of Mrs. and the late Arthur O’Neil,,
of Denfield. The bride, given in mar
riage by her father, was charmingly
attired in pink net gown and veil
with gloves and shoes to match. She
wore a shoulderette of .nose buds and
sweet peas and carried a white ivory
covered prayer book mounted with a
sterling cross, the gift of the groom.
Her only ornament was a cameo
brooch, which has been a keepsake
in the O’Neil family for a 125 years.
The bridesmaid, Miss Mary O’Neil,
the groom’s youngest sister chose
rose chiffon with blue net hat and
mulff, and blue satin slippers. Hillis

Do you ever feel that you simply can’t go any

tired feeling; freedom from those stabbing, darting
pains through the small of the back.
One of the simplest and most effective remedies
for weak, lame and aching backs is Doan’s Kidney
