joicing in his new association he hast
ened to inform Nathaniel, another
Galileean friend, who resided in Cana
(John xxi. %. Philip appears to have
been we'll instructed, possibly by those
who became disciples before him. yet
the words spoken by him to Nathaniel
were quite unlike any message pre-
viously delivered. The Baptist con-
ceived OF Jesus as Son of God and
Lamb of God oversees IS, 29). Andrew
called Him the .Iessiah (verse Az.
Philip spoke of Him as the one of
whom Moses in the law and the
prophets did write" (verse 45), adding
personal data, Jesus of Nazareth, the
Son Geputed or legal SOM OF Joseph"
These three forms of expression were
evidently parts of the one complete
statement concerning the Messiah, who
should be Divine, who should die for
sin, who was foretold. But Philips ex-
preston is fuller IAN any preceding
and indicates the grasp of his mind.
QUESTIONING.-Th larger mes
sage delivered by Philip was discount
ed by Nathaniel because of single
expression contained in it.. He may
have expected the Messiah and earn
estly longed for His coming, and he
may have known that the prophets
declared He should be born in Bethle-
hem (Micah V. %. II he may have
been governed only by spirit of preju-
dice. Whatever his motive, he eX-
claimed: Can any good thing come
out of Nazareth?" That was the same
as to question the enthusiastic state
ment of his friend. Impossible" he
would have said, you have made some
mistake. Messiah could not come from
such a miserable ana despicable COM
munity." 1t was perfectly natural for
him to feel and speak thus. In all
ages men have been esteemed to be the
product of their environment. How
ever, many times the law of descent
and of association may fail to account
for qualities men turn instinctively to
re-enforce that law. Phihp did not
argue, as some unwisely do. He calm
ly said: "Come and see' Cverse 46),
land decide for yourself"-the Gospels
challenge to all men.
CONCLUSION.-By many it is
thought that large numbers Of people
must unite with enthusiasm in order
son shows what may be accomplished
through personal influence eXerted in
a quiet way. John the Baptist spoke
a single sentence and John the Evan
| gelist and Andrew follow Jesus. By
another sentence Andrew gained his
| brother, Simon Peter. BY two words
| Jesus secured Philip, and by one sent
| ence Philip brought Nathaniel. And
| so the first five apostles We're gained
| in two or three days-Andrew, John,
] Peter, Philip. Nathanael-all Galilee-
| ans, sojourning for little time to
| hear the great forerunner Think of
the ability and future of those men,
| and then say how much was done to-
ward advancing the kingdom of heav-
| en-. But think, also. of the starting
| point, the first word spoken. Had that
| been withheld or spoken timidly, or
| had some other word been delivered,
the result might have been far differ
| ent. Every man in mis- place, by such
| opportunity as may be presented,
| should do his part, not knowing but
the deed quietly done may set in mo-
ton influences for good that shall ex-
| tend far and wide.

was quickly given to the two who had
thus sought Him. They were invited
to accompany Him, which invitation
was promptly accepted (verse 39).

JOHN |. 35-46.

for the time called His dwelling place
simple quarters they must have been
in that rural section, rented doubtless
at q moderate price. One of these WIS.,
itors is known (verse 40). Andrew, the
brother of Peter, and, inasmuch as
John, the apostle, was accustomed to
suppress his own name (John, Niii:23),
he is supposed to have been the other.
1t was the tenth hour a o'clock in
the afternoon by our timc), when the
interview began, and it continued
through the remainder of that day
which closed at 6 o'clock. Two hours
of conversation with Jesus in the ear
ly days of His ministry, granted to
John and Andrew, destined to be among
His apostles. What themes were con-
sidered? What impressions were
made? What plans We're laid? These
questions are unanswered. But we
may be sure that the occasion was one
of great profit to the two seekers.
FINDING.-When Andrew and John
left the dwelling of Jesus at the close
of their interview they did not return
to John the Baptist, their former in
structor, as they might have done with
great propriety. But they went forth
in behalf of Him whom they had visit
ed, becoming thus His first missionar-
les. The first person sought was ST.
mon, Andrews brother (verse 4D. To
him they declare that they have found
the Messiah This is not quite the in
formation they had obtained by the
Baptist's testimony (verse 36), and may
have been derived from other instruc-
ton. or from the lips of Jesus. AS
these three men were all Galileeans it
may be assumed that they had been
attracted to this region, as many 9TH
ers had been Matt, iii:5), by the evan
gelical preaching, and that they re-
joced when the object of their search
was found. Shortly, probably that
very evening, Simon was taken by
his brother and friend to Jesus (verse
42). A prompt recognition must have
gladdened all hearts. AS the Lord be-
held His third disciple and recognized
his stern qualities and his possible flu
ture He gave him u new name, Cephas,
or Peter (Matt, Xvi.1S).
INVITING.-It was now time for
Jesus to begin His own separate work.
To remain longer near the Baptist
might have caused misunderstanding
and even antagonism. The three men
who had identified themselves with
Him had their homes in Galilee, and it
was His purpose to select others from
the same region of country, where the
people We're less under the control OF
the priests. Hence He determined to
proceed thither at once (verse 43), not
to remain permanently, but to open
His ministry. When ready to depart
| he met another Galileean, Philip. 4
| friend of the others, a resident of Eeth-
sada, fishing port Oh the sea of III
| beriaS (verse 4i). To him Jesus gave
His first invitation, Follow Me-" The
meaning of those words could not be
| doubted. It was 4 form of expression
| common among Jewish rabbis who
sought to gain learners. In those days
a disciple or learner attached himself
to a teacher or master, journeyed with
him, and received instruction (John

Sunday School Lesson for january g.
Christ's First Disciples.
JOHN l. $500.
BY ]. e. GILBERT, d. D., IL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.

CONTEXT.-In last lesson we had
bare mention of the purpose of John
Baptist's ministry as a witness to
Christ (verse y. 1t is important for
us to read those passages, part of them
in this book oversees 10 to 3D, and part
of them in the other gospels, which
show how he performed that import
ant service. We shall there learn that
he preached righteousness to the peo-
pie who resorted unto him at the Jor-
dan, and that he baptized those who
repented; also that while he was at
the height of his popularity Jesus came
to him from Nazareth and was also
baptized as an introduction to His
office; and that in that baptism Jesus
was made known to John by the sign
OF a dove (verse 32), and by an audible
voice from heaven. Afterward occurred
the temptation in the wilderness dur
ing period of forty days of which
our author makes no mention. From
the wilderness Jesus returned to the
place OF Johns ministry (verse 2S),
where occurred the events of our pres
ent lesson.
TESTIFYING.-The Baptist's inter-
est in Jesus did not decline during the
forty days of absence, and he was pre-
pared at the re-appearance to bear ad-
ditional testimony. 1T the baptism he
bad learned that Jesus was the Son Of
God (Matt iii:1O, a title descriptive
of His nature, but now he understood
and announced His high mission Werse
29). On the day after the arrival John
was standing in the open field with
two disciples Verse 35), and the three
were looking upon Jesus as He walked
little distance from them. Questions
and remarks NAV have passed Of
which no record is given. But John
seized the opportunity to say to his
friends, Behold the Lamb of Cod
(verse 36). From Jew to Jews these
words We're full of meaning QIx, Xii:3).
Associated as they were with sacri-
fetal worship (Gen., Xxii:S, and fire.
quently employed in the writings of
the prophets Qsa., liii:O, they could
not be misunderstood.
FOLLOWING.-Imm the two
disciples left their old master and fol-
lowed Jesus (verse 3O. This act re-
flected credit upon all concerned. It
must be that John the Baptist had been
unselfiSh and true to his calling, else
he would not thus give his followers to
another. And they must have been sim
cere seekers after the truth, under
standing the reason for attachment to
the Baptist as preliminary to a
higher loyalty. And the whole story
of Jesus, as then known, must have
been sufficient to awaken faith in Him.
The approaching men attracted atten-
ton. What seek ye?" was Christ's
inquiry, desiring to know the purpose.
or rather to secure such a statement of
the purpose (verse $50, for Jesus could
not have been ignorant Matt, ii:2j).
The two disciples answered in one
word, Rabbi" that is master, tender
ing themselves to Him to be taught,
declaration of a desire to be enrolled
among those who should espouse His
cause. Where dwellest thou" they
inquired, delicately proposing a private
interview.

nENTION OF THE MINES.
What the Weeks Work Has Developed In the
Properties 0i the District.

In the Crystal Mountain Mine the
indications are probably more encourag-
ing than at any time since the great area
Of mineralized formation was cut through
last summer, In the breast OF the main
tunnel the indications are that vein is
about to be cut, and the amount of water
flowing lends weight to the opinion that
whether vein or contact it 10 a large
break in the formation, and which may
reasonably be expected to reveal an ore
body Of great magnitude. A contract
has been lot for drift to be run on a
vein which was cut In the tunnel, and
though only just started the work has
already shown some good copper ore and
with the appearances favorable for a
good strike if the vein is followed.
At the Burt work is now being confined
to tunnel Nc. l, to cut the ore chute. In
both Of the other tunnels the ore is we'll
opened in the veins cutting throuh the
formation. Mr.. Ward finds new cause
for continued faith in the outcome of
this property,
The tunnel at the Laura Is now into
the formation Of Meadow Mountain for
distance OF nearly two hundred feet
Messrs Ford and Kline have been push
ing the big tunnel right along and it will
be one Of the best working tunnels in the
district when completed.
Work in the Inez has been somewhat
retarded by the ravages Of la grippe in
the ranks Of the miners. Several Of the
contractors are on the sick list and for
the present, things are quiet.

completed to place another property OF
