JORDAN.-Lesson, 3, Jan. 21.--"The
Preaching of John the Baptist" Luke.
Ill. LII; lesson 5, "The First Disciples
of Jesus" John 1. 35-46.--here again
we have two. lessons appropriately
connected because of their relation In
thought, although widely separated In
time. The preaching of John the Bap-
tist was an excellent preparation for
the coming of Jesus, because 1t awak-
ened the public conscience and so ad-
vanced the cause of religion. 1t was
at the Jordan that men heard the voice
of this holy man calling to repentance.
And 1t was at the Jordan also that the
first disciples were gained to our Lord.
and that from the same eminent
preacher who generously directed his
own followers to Him-Andrew. John.
Peter, Philip. Nathaniel--five men who
early espoused the cause of Jesus, had
been associated with the great re-
former. This was an excellent privi-
lege They came with the message of
righteousness fresh in their thought
to be learners of Him who called men
from sin to righteousness.
WILDERNESS.-Le 4, Jan. 2S.-
THE Baptism and Temptation" Mat
thew, iii:13, to Matthew, iv:11.-This
lesson presents two great themes. the
one supplementing the other. The bap
tism of Jesus by John at the Jordan
was his Introduction or conservation
to the sacred office, according to Jew
ish law. The voice and the spirit on
that occasion were the proofs of His
Messiahship, the appointed attestations
| to John that he might be assured that
| he had actually found the holy per-
son. The immediate entrance into the
| wilderness to meet the enemy Of souls
| was an appropriate sequel. BY it sew
| eral important results were attained.
There was an exhibition of Christ's
power, as He Overcame the adversary,
the record of which is Iull of comfort
to all people forever after. There was
| an illustration of the nature of temp
tatiOn and from the method of it's sue
cessful resistance worthy to be studied
| in all subsequent centuries-the three
attacks being in kind like those made
upon all men. There was a revelation
Of the principalities and powers Of the

ODUCTION.-Three months OF
study In the life of Jesus, beginning
with His birth and ending with the
call of Matthew. The time covered,
from first TO last, according to the best
chronology, about thirty-three years,
or from B. c. s to A. d. 2s. The pass
ages were taken from all the evdng,l-
lists. the least being from Matthew,
and the other gospels having nearly
an equal number of lessons. /. WAS
the evident purpose of the comrnttee
to lead the student from book to book
that thereby some light might be
thrown upon their purpose, prompting
a more careful attention to their har.
mony. For purposes of review the
lessons may be arranged geographic
ally. helping us to partial view of
the itinerary of Jesus, thus: Bethle-
hem. Jerusalem. Jordan, Wilderness,
Samaria. Nazareth, Capernaum. 1t is
not more important to know when
than where Jesus wrought His great
works and delivered His marvellous
teachings. The location of two or
more events in the same place will
only assist the memory.

will be we'll! Through the high grass
safe? Good! You can easily reach
the dug-out now before the fire
comes. What! tripping and falling?
Oh! Poor Pheme. Hear the flames
right behind you! Up and on! Quick!
Quick! But Pheme could not move.
Just on the edge of the tallest grass
she lay powerless. She tried to lift
her arms bat could not. She could
not even speak.
Maggie had by this time revived and
looking out through the open door
from where she lay, saw Pheme fall
ing. "Oh! Pheme! Pheme!" she
called in agony, but Pheme could not
reply. She tried again to move her
arms. She could not. She tried again
to speak, but not sound came. Mag
gle screamed and moaned. She could
see the flames now almost upon
Pheme and the baby, but she was
powerless to help them. Her torture
was horrible. Suddenly Pheme felt
her strength come back little. She
could not get up, but she could move
her arms. She took the baby up, and
reaching as far as she could pushed
him from her with all her strength
out of the way of the fire. Maggie,
looking out from the door, saw all
this. "Oh! Pheme. Pheme!'' she
cried. Cant you move just little?"
she cried. Then you will be out of
the tall grass" But Pheme had used
all her strength to save the baby.
Its too late, Maggie" she said, too
late" The flames were upon her now,
but the baby was saved! In one mo-
ment of time her whole life flashed
before her. Scenes from her child
hood came back to her; she saw her.
self child again, wandering about
her old eastern home, now chasing
butterflies under the pink bloom of
the apple blossoms-now gathering
gold-crowned hills. Then later life
scenes came up. She thought of a
lover waiting alone for the bride that
would come to him only in death; of
the modest little prairie home that
she would never share. All these
thoughts passed through her mind
with lightning rapidity while the
flames were doing their horrible
work. The agony now was too in
tense for thought. There was ter
rible struggle for breath in the fierce
heat and black smoke, and then all
was over!
On lonely spot on the prairies of
southwest Kansas there is a grave
marked with a plain white slab.
There in the evenings you will often
find a boy of about ten years of age
tenderly watering the white rose he
is trying to get to grow on the lonely
grave, and if you should ask him
wAose grave this is for which he is
taking such care he will reply: THAT

CATARRH

or inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in win
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or infamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.
