THE LESSON WORD SiUDIES.
Rased on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
The First \Vitnesc.-ilaving set forth
clearly and concisely his own conclt.•
Mens concerning the character and work
t.f ksus in the form of a Waifs which he
purposes to elaborate and defend, John
proceeds to introduce testimony. The
first witness to the divinity of Christ to
which the apostle calls our attention is
the testimony of the \tessiuh's appointed
forerunner, John the Baptist. \Vhat has
leen said about John in verses 6.15 was
pnrenthelical 10 the more specific pur-
pose of Ihe prologue, but it has none the
Ws served a.e all introduction 1/ what
knows concerning the mime person in
verses 19-36. John the Baptist was a
plan sent from Cool. a chorea messenger
of Jehovah whose lite in this world had
the very special and definite purpose of
pt eparing the way for One greater Utnn
himself who was to come alter him. 1t
is to hie testimony of this Greater One,
rather than to the person of the Rnptist,
that our attention Is directed in this les-
sen. The prominence given to the testi.
nosy of the Baptist in John's Gospel
(referred to already in the prologue
verses 1-18, and again al the end of th.'
tenth chapter) is acrountkel for in fart by
the pa'uiiiar !newton and prominence of
the Baptist himself, but in part. doubt-
less, also by the fact that through it the
apostle himself had been firs: directed to
hells. II Lc the testimony- of It hornier

THE MYSTIC. SIGN.
The shades of night were falling NA,
when through the park a traveller
pccset[. who rend a sign upon the ground
111111 did his senses touch confound-
"Keepofftliegrass. "
No grass Was there to sleet his eye,
the snow was piled up mountains high;
ye: from the drift the sign stuck out, on
it appeared with nary doubt-"Keepoff-
Ihegrass:'
"Try not the drift," the park guard
said ; uplifted was his haughty head.
"Try not the drift, for sure as sin. if yeti
do that I'll run you in-Keepoftlho•
grass."
Across the petit the drift was blown.
"There's no way out you'll surely own,
in which the risk will not be fund, of
treading on this sacred ground-Keep-
offlhegrass."
"What's that to ane?" the guard re-
plied, as, swelling with a conscious
pride. he swung his deb with hideous
grin -"Step on the gross --I'll run you In
-Keepoftlhegrass."
The traveller knew the dangerous 'glee
was lined on either side with grass, but
teeth were covered with the snow ; lie
knew not then which way tc go-"I'e ep•
of thegrass."
The air grew icy cold and drill ; the
stars came out and all was still ; the
guard retired to his box, and coalbed
icicles [roan his pocks-"Keepofflha
grass."
Anel when the morning light calve
round, the traveller in lite drift was
found ; and o'er his Snowy grits.? there
stood that sign, mad cut of old box-
w•ood-"Keepoff bhegra s3."
