THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Times -We do not know how
ic.ng John the 'Baptist preached
sxa the wilderness, but it is gen-
erally believed that the climax of
ninietry, which is recorded
..ere in our lee on, and the bap-
nem of Christ, occurred between
The summer of A.D. 26 and the
sarins ef A.D. 27.
Place. -The public ministry of
:loolln the Baptist took place in the
wilderness of Judaea; Jesus was
eaaptizeti.. of course, at the Jordan
.River, and probably not far from
the city of Jericho,
A New Epoch
1. "Now in the fifteenth year
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,"
Jesus was about thirty years old
at this time. "'Pontius Pilate being
governor of Judaea. And Herod
;tieing: tetrarch of Galilee. And
his brother Philip, Tetrarch of the
negion of Ituraea and Trachonitis,
And L•ysanias tetrarch of Abilene.
2. in the high -priesthood of Arenas
and Caiaphas, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zach-
arias in the wilderness." Luke is
not setting down the names of
these rulers and priests simple to
.pix the precise date of the min-
istry of John. He is recording
the beginning of a new epoch in
the Kingdon of God, and he is
;netting out the stage and recalling
the personages upon it. He is
summing up the power and prin-
cipalities with which the new
movement must contend. How
;arrogant is their authority! How
confident is their pride: Yet all
this brave array is doomed.
God's Messenger
3a. "And he came into all the
region round about the Jordan."
It was in this region, that John
lifted up his voice as the mess
asenger before the face of God's
Annointed, to prepare His way.
3b. ".Preaching the baptism of
repentance unto remission of
sins." John baptized only those
who repented and confessed their
wins, and turned all others away,
land all thus baptized received re-
mission in their Baptism.
Moral Obstacles
4. "As it is written in the
book of the words of Isaiah the
prophet, The voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Make ye ready
the way of the -Lord, Make his
paths straight. 5. Every valley
shall be filled, And every moun-
tani and hill shall he brought low;
And the crooked shall become
straight, And the rough ways
smooth; 6. And all flesh shall see
the salvation of God." The de-
tails symbolize the moral ob-
stacles which have to be removed
by the repentance and baptism of
John, in order to prepare the
people for the, reception of the
Messiah. Just as oriental mon-
archs, when making a royal pro-
gress, send a courier before them
to exhort the population to pre-
pare roads, so the Messiah rends
his herald to exhort his own
people to prepare their hearts for
his coming.
Join Denies Rumors
15. "And a, the people were
in expectation, and all !nen rea-
soned in their hearts concerning
John, whether haply he were the
Christ; 16, John answered, saying
unto them all, I indeed baptize
you with water; but there ceilidh
he that is mightier than I, the
latchet of whose shoes I am not
worthy to unloose: he shall bap-
tize you in the Holy Spirit and
in fire." Tho text implies that
the people of Judaea were expect-
ing the Messiah. Thus, when there
armse the only great prophet in
brae: who had appeared for four
hundred years, naturally many
wondered if at last He had not
come for whose appearance they
were waiting. It does not say
that they actually asked John if
he was a Messiah, but of course
he was well aware of the uz'ture
of these rumors, and be immedi-
ately repudiated such identity. It
is one of the clear indications of
the geuuinenes of hie ministry
that he refused to be given honor
to which ho well knew ne was
not entitled.
Wheat and Chaff
17. "Whose fan is in his band,
thoroughly to cleanse his thresh-
ing -floor, and to gather the wheat
into his garner; but the chaff he
will burr: up with unquenchable
fire,' John bears testimony to
thte ultimate • end of our Lord's
ministry, when all men will, by
their relationship to him, be iden-
tified either a: wheatto he hale
• vested and kept, or as eltaf f to
be burned by fire.
The Second Adam

How "'• ully Beef
Was First Used
Foods
Early
Preserved by Canning
in Last Century
The process of preserving food-
stuffs by canning is much older
than is generally thought. The
firm of Donkin and Hall, for in-
stance, was supplying a variety of
such foods for the Navy as early
as 1814, and Sir Joseph Hall, the
then president of the Royal So-
ciety, refers in a testimonial to
the firm to the nutritious quali-
ties of their "embalmed provis-
ions". One of this firm's "vari-
eties" was soup and boulii. Hence
"bully beef".
It is surprising to .learn of the
excellent quality of these tinned
foody after many years of preser-
vation. For example, H. M. S,
Blonde carried supplies of tinned
meat during a South Sea voyage
of exploration which began in
1826. Twenty years later some
students of Guy's Hospital made
a meal of the contents of one of
the tins.
A still mora remarkable case is
that of the tinned goods carried
by H.M.S. Fury while on a voy-
age in the Arctic in the year
1825. The Fury was lost, but some
of her tinned stores were found
on the ice by members of a later
expedition, About 1918 two of the
tins -solve 90 years old -- were
opened and found to contain pea
soup and beef respectively. Some
bold persons made a meal of the
contents and were none the worse,
Tin-openers do not seen to
have been supplied in the early
days. One manufacturer gave
instructions on the label that the
tin should be opened by cutting

tized, that Jesus also having been
baptized, and praying, the heaven
was opened, 22. and the Holy
Spirit descended in a bodily form,
as a dove, upon him, and a voice
calve out of heaven, Thou art my
beloved Son; in thee I am well
pleased." As oue Lord came up
out of the water, the heavens
parted, and two divine confirma-
tions were given. The descent of
the Holy Spirit in the form of a
dove would doubtless indicate
what would be the character of
Christ's mission. Christ had come
to conquer, not with arms or
armament, but with weapons that
were spiritual. God had often
looked down from Heaven to see
if thele were any that did good
and sinned not. But he saw not

Sable Island Is
Lonely Outpost
Off Coast of Nova Scotia,
Has Wartime Potentialities,
Says Woodstock Sentinel.
Review
Sable Island does not appear to
have got into the news for a long
time, and if the Canada -U.S.
Joint Defence Board has had any-
thing about it the information has
not been broadcast; yet the place
has wartime potentialities which
could hardly be ignored. Virtu-
aIly a huge sandbank, 25 miles
long by a half -mile to two miles
wide, it lies 110 miles east of
the central part of Nova Scotia
and 80 miles south of White Head.
Ships plying between Maritime
ports and the British Isles go
either north, or south of it - they
hope. In days gone by there
were so many wrecks on Sable
Island it was known as the "grave-
yard of the Atlantic", The Can-
adian Government from 1873 on
built three lighthouses, but two
were swept away and the other
undermined. There is one now at
each end of the island, and n
modern radio beacon station
guides ships many miles at sea.
Atlantic Outpost
As most people will recall who
ever read anything about Sable
Island, it is noted for its wild
ponies, of which there are sev-
eral hundred. undoubtedly de-
scendants of horses that surviv-
ed
urviveed shipwrecks years ago. They
grow a long coat of hair, and
are said to be admirably suited
to the climate. Whether or not
that is mutual is not disclosed.
The island is commonly term-
ed an Atlantic "outpost". Wheth-
er or not it is actually so in a
military sense is not a matter of
public knowledge. The normal
population consists mainly of a
lifesaving crew, who put in most
of their ample leisure in mainten-
ance of buildings and in garden-
ing. It would take a pretty strong
garrison to grapple with such a
force as an enemy power would
send if it desired to make Sable
Island an air base, and without
a strong force it would in such.
event share its fate of Guam and
Wake and Midway islands in the
Pacific. In any case, it is some-
thing for the joint defence board
to worry about, though New-
foundland and Nova Scotia might
be inclines! just now to help
worry.
More Nurses Needed
Britain wauts 10,000 nurses to
bring the staffs of hospitals and
similar institutions up to adequate
strength. Thele was a shortage
of nurses before the war and this
was aggravatecl_..by the competi-
tive lure of the services upon po-
tential recruits and the greatly
increased demand to cope with
air raid casualties and staff day
and residential nurseries.

The Boy Scouts of Aurora have
collected nearly 50,000 pounds of
rags, wastepaper, aluminum and
iron, it was reported at their an-
nual meeting.

The first award to an English-
man of the Polish Silver Crass
of Merit First Class, has been
made to Flight -Sgt. Geoffrey C.
Everitt, "for conspicuous gallant-
ry shown in the rescue of a Pol-
ish airman from a bomber which
had crashed and caught fire."
Flt. -Sgt. Everitt was formerly et

One of the most important de-
velopments of international
Scouting since the outbreak of
the war was the re-establishment
of the Scout Movement in Un-
occupied France. Before the war
there were, four French Boy
Scout Associations and three of
Girl Guides. All have now been
united under the one name, "Le
Scoutisme Francais." The new
organization is headed by General
Lafont, former Chief Scout of
the French Scout Association. He
will be •known as the Chief Scout
of France. The amalgamation has
the official approval of the dif-
ferent churches as well as of the
Detain Government. Scouting is
still banned by the German invad-
ers of Occupied France.

Home Guard invasion defence
exercises brought two British
Boy Scouts an opportunity of re-
alizing a Scout's dream, and em-
ulating the spying -out exploits
of Lord Baden-Powell. "Some-
where in England" two of them
were asked to endeavour to enter
the "invaders" lines and secure
information. Early in the op-
erations they disguised themselv-
es as members of the "invading"
force, and joined one of their
parties without arousing suspic-
ion. One of the boys secured im-
portant information of the dispos-
ition of the attacking army. To
allay suspicion of himself the
Scout actually served as an en-
emy messenger, although this led
him deep into "enemy territory,"
and prevented returning accord-
ing to his original plan. When
shortly .the "enemy" moved to
attack the. Scout had to make .a
quick decision if his information
was to be of use to the defend-
ers. Promptly he hid his bicycle
in a hedge, dived :f_,,lly clothed
into an ice-cold river, swam
across, and raced afoot to Home
Guard Beadgnarters with his re-
port.
Work and Pleasure
"Rational, industrious, useful
beings are divided into two class-
es ----those whose work is work
and whose pleasures pleasure,
and those whose work and pleas-
ure are one. Fortune has favored
the children who belong to the
second class."
---Winston Churchill.

:Raymond Edward Johnson,
handsome six footer who plays the
somewhat cynical and pernieious
'host' on the NBC -Blue Network's
Sunday night Mystery Thriller,
the "Inner Sanctum Mystery,"
got that way from an early also -
dation with radio's bizarre play-
wright, Arch Oboler. Johnson
gained himself a nation-wide re-
putation as a radio monologist,
while appearing in the unforget-
able Oboler series, "Lights Out."
And, if last week's' column read-
ers took our tip, they heard Inner
Sanctum Mystery at 9.30 D.S.T.
