part of the land of Israel, He did
not use soft words, but told the nak
ed*, unsparing truth, warping the
Pharisees as a “generation of vip
ers," and challenging them to prove
that they were really repenting and
ready for an utterly changed life.
He condemned greed, graft and
corruption, looting by soldiers and
told various classes of people exact
ly what to do if they would live
righteously.
The multitudes began to 'think that
this man was the Messiah, Christ
Himself. At once John repudiated
this saying: “I indeed baptize yon
with water, but One mightier than 1
cometh, the Jatchet of whose shoes I
am not worthy to unloose: He shall
baptize you. with the Holy Ghost
and with fire , . . will gather the
wheat into His garner; but the chaff
He will burn with unquenchable
fire,"
Then Jesus Himself 'came to John
to be baptized—not because He had
any sins to repent of, but because

JESUS PREPARES FOR MIS WORK
Sunday, Jan. jo-^-Luke 3:1 to 4:15,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and Him only shalt thou serve,
(Hulte 4:8).
(Seven centuries ’before Christ was
born, the /prophet Isaiah said that
tbe voice of a man would cry in the
wilderness “Prepa're ye the way pf
the Lord, mahe straight in the des
ert a highway for oar God." Crook
ed places should be made straight,
and rough places plain, he said. ‘And
the glory of the Lord shall be re-
vealed, and all flesh shall see it to-
I gether; for the mouth of the Lord
”,9hath spoken jt." (Isa. 40:3-5,)
What did this mean? Isaiah
himself 'probably did not know fully
what it i-means, for Peter tells us that the Old Testament prophets'
“who 'prophesied of the grace that l He was taking His place as a man
should come," searched, “what, or» among men, an Israelite, identifying
..........I Himself with Israel and all mankind
“for thus,” He said, “it becometh
to fulfil all righteousness" (Matt.
3:15.)
Immediately after His baptism
the heavens were opened, and the
Holy /Spirit “descended in a bodily
shape like a dove upon* Him and a
voice came from heaven, which said,
'Thou art My beloved 'Son; in Thee
I am well .pleased."
Thus Christ, who* was both the
Lord of glory and at the same time
“the Lamb slain from the founda-|
tion of the world" (Rev. 13:8), be
gan His public ministry, preparatory
to dying for the sins of the world.
Satan was watching, and he hatedi
Christ; for /Satan was the highest of
God’s angels,* fallen through pride
and sin, and permitted to be the
the 'usurping prince or god of this
world (John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4).
Satan had lost his original /perfec
tion and dominion by sinning (Isa.
14:1112-15; Ezek. 28:12-15); when
the first Adam was given dominion,
Satan caused his fall and loss of
that dominion; and now Satan hop
ed to the same with “the last Adam"
—Christ Himself (I Cor. 15:45-47).
God permitted and directed that
testing or tempting of His Son by the
should come," searched,
what manner of time the -Spirit of
Christ which was in them did sig
nify, when it testified/ beforehand
the sufferings of Christ, and the
glory that should follow." (1 Peter
1;I1O-11.) He was foretelling the
coming of John the Baptist, of whom
Luke writes in this lesson that he
came “preaching the baptism of re
pentance for the remission of sins;
as it is written in the book of the
words of Isaiah the prophet, saying,
“The voice of one crying in the wil
derness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make His paths straight.”
Jesus Christ was the Messiah of
Israel, foretold throughout the Old
Testament, but also the .Saviour of
the world. Isaiah and John the
Baptist proclaimed the Gospel, that
“all flesh shall see the .salvation of
God." Aged -Simeon declared it
when he saw the Babe Jesus (Lu.
2:30-32.) The universal Gospel of
■ Jesus /Christ, which is the only Gos
pel, is the message of 'the whole
Bible, as in Psalm 9 Sv 2, and Romans
10:11.12.
John was one of the greatest
preachers and evangelists this world
has ever known. The Lord Himself
said so (Matt. 11:11.) Vast multi
tudes flocked to hear him from every
adversary, that it might be demoiK
stratad once for all that Christ, tho’
temped, could sot be defeated—for
He could pot sin.
It was after forty days of fasting
in the wilderness or desert, when
Christ’s body, a truly human body,
was suffering from hunger, that the
devil came at Him and said: “If
Thou be the Son of God, command
this stone that it be made bread.”
This was a direct temptation to un
belief, For God had Said, immed
iately after the baptism, “This IS
My beloved (Son, in whom I am well
pleased" (Matt 3:17), Satan said,
“If," while God had said “Is”; and
for Christ to have worked a miracle
by turning stone into bread to see
“if" GOd’s word was true would have
been to question or doubt the word
of God. Our Lord answered by
quoting, as God’s infallible word:
“It is written, That man shall not
live /by bread1 alone, but by every
word of God.” This was from Deu
teronomy 8:3, that part of the Bible
most attacked by the Higher Critics,
(The devil repeated his attacks,
and next offered to give Christ the
rulership of all the kingdoms of the
world1 ifl He would only worship
him. This was an empty offer or
boast by Satan, for he is, temporar
ily, the prince or god of this world,
and the time is coming, as the Bible
plainly predicts, when Satan will
raise up a world Emperor or Beast
whom all the world will worship
(Rev, 13:11-18.)
Again Christ defeated Satan by
quoting (Scripture: “Thou shalt wor
ship the Lord thy God, and Him only
shalt thou, serve."
Now Satan quoted Scripture to
Christ, asking Him1 to substitute for
faith and cast Himself down from
a pinnacle of the temple, trusting
God’s angels to bear Him up. Again
Christ defeated the Adversary: “It is
said, Thou shall not tempt the Lord
thy God."
It is significant, as Dr. Robert *C.
McQuilkin has pointed out, that
when Satan quoted,.Psalm 91:12, he
carefully refrained from quoting the
next verse, which tells us that Christ
is to tread the'serpent under foot.
YOUTH fqunr guilty
Deciding an Interesting point of
law, Magistrate Hawkshaw, in coun
ty police court, ruled that Mil'ton
Robinson, Lucan youth, was guilty
of stealing 25 bags of grain from bis
employer, Roy Fairless, Lucan grain
dealer. He was remanded to Jail
one week for sentence.
Police 'claimed that Robinson
took grain ’belonging to Hairless
and concealed it in a barn rented
by his employer Eldon Mitchell,
lawyer for Robinson, claimed that
the prosecution had failed to prove
Fairless owned the grain. He
raised an -unusual point of
when he claimed that there
been no theft, even if .Fairless
the owner. He said the grain
still in Fairless’ -possession, because
it had been left in his barn.
Magistrate Hawkshaw ruled that
the grain had been hidden in the
'barn and Hairless*, who was the
owner, had been deprived of the use
and benefit of it, which constituted
theft.
Mayer Lerner prosecuted the- case.'
Robinson was arrested by Provincial
Constable Ben Milligan shortly after
it was alleged he had tried to make
arrangements to have the grain tak
en away by a trucker.
Robinson will also face a charge
of conversion of $2 when he
pears in court next week.

NEW SETTLERS IN PEACE RIVER
Many of the settlers in the dried
out areas of Alberta and Saskatche
wan have gone up to the bush coun
try in “Peace River"” where they
opened up new settlements.. It was
heartbreaking to have to pull up
from their old homes and start life
anew but there was* nothing else to
do. Im that new district money is
a rare thing for these new settlers
have little crop-land cleared yet.
What little money there is has to 'be
carefully kept to buy rubbers and
mitts and wool, salt and baking pow
der, A good many folks in that dis
trict actually limit the grocery bill
to these two items, with sometimes
a little white flour thrown in as a
luxury. But they must eat and
they do with a menu something like
this: Moose-meat when they can get
it, potatoes and turnips, and bread
made from brown whole-wheat flour
home grown and home-ground. Sy
rup from sugar-beets was used for
sugar, and homesteaders’ coffee was
made from roasted wheat or barley.
It is a marvel how people can live
“off the land" when they have to.
None of these people though living
under most stressful conditions are
on relief. No doubt however they
would not be averse to receiving
contributions of clothing for
children.

“Good prosperity” in 1936-1939
followed ‘by -a two-year lull and in
19'4.8" a worse depression than the
one we have just emerged from” is
predicted by Herbert C. Powell, chief
statistician of the Toronto Hydro'
Electric, who said he forecast the
dates of the market panics in 1907
and 19 29 within 2 days and the up
turn in July 1935, exactly.
Mr. Powell, who made his fore
cast in an address to the Canadian
Progress Club, said: “The law of
averages brings forecasting within
10 per cent, of the truth. Business
executives need training—they have
forgotten how to think." He added
“anything that is a real success is
under one-man control.”
