To what extent should good people,
today. take John for an example in
the matter of food and clothing?
To what extent does God care as to
what we eat, and what we wear?
If all you know of man is that
he is fastidious in the matter Of dress,
and an epfcure in his focd, 1cw would
you rate him as to personal piety?
Can men work as hard, thin.S as
clearly and accomplish as much, Or
more, in all departments Of life on .
vegetable, as on meat diet?
Verses 5-6-How do you account for
the wonderful interest which Johns
preaching created?
If John were the permanent pastor
of a church, in this town, do you sup
pose that he would be able to con-
stantly keep up such a great revival
as this story records?
What did Johns baptism signify?
Was baptism then, and is baptism
now for adults Of any avail without a
full confession of sin?
Verse When member OF
a church is not devoted man, is he
better or worse than any other SIM
ner?
If minister of the gospel is not a
truly good man, whose word is as
good as his bond, how would you COM
pare him with a layman of similar
character?
What is the tendency of the Office
of pastor, or of Bible class teacher
as to making its incumbent a truly
noble and all-round, morally and
financially, trustworthy man?
Is a pastor of a church under any
greater obligation to be a truly de-
voted man than it's members? Why
or why not?
These scribes and pharisees were in
those days what our pastors and
church officials are in these days
How do you account for the fact that
they were such bad men?
Verses 9-e-What are the fruits
which prove genuine repentance
This question must be answered in
writing by members of the cIub.)
To what extent does the fact tina,
a man has d noble and devoted an
cestry recommend him to God?
Can any person be saved because Of
his parents goodness?
Verse 10-Is it the fact, and why
that incompetent men fail and that ba6
men always cone to grief?
| Verse 11--What is the difference be
tween the personal results of John:
baptism and that of the baptism O
the Holy Spirit from Jesus?
Verse 12--What reason is there fo7
the belief that men and women make
their own hell or heaven?

How to Order

Send by P. o. money order, or check.
Bills and change may be sent IT prop
er care is taken in wrapping, but DO
not send it loose in letter, and al
ways pin bills to letter or the order
blank. Postal orders may be obtained
of R. f. D. carriers. We have tried
to make the method of finding out the
price of more than one magazine with
the Monitor plain (the price for any one
single is given in the especial COM
bined price.'') It's very easy. Just take
a pencil, find the magazine you want
and subtract from the Especial COM
bined price" $3.50, then find the next
magazine or paper wanted and do the
same. and the next until all the maya
zines wanted have been taken, then
add the several results and $3.50 be
sides. This is the price for the varl.
Gus publication you want including the
Monitor a year. III you don't want
the Monitor but six months add rs
cents instead of $3.50. Nothing can
be more simple or palmer.
Read this list through. If you
don't find the magazine or paper want
ed ask for special price and we will
quote you the net cost price to US plus
the price of the Monitor-and this is
the method on all our quotations here.
Only about 100 periodicals OF the
several thousand we have prices on
are included here.
