Jesus Fulfilling All Righteousness

The sermon by Rev. Hilton last night
at the Central Christian church had
for it's central thought the coming of
Jesus to the baptism of John. The
speaker argued that this was a matter
that the Son of God did not look upon
lightly. HE realized that John work
was from God. Christ was not sin
ner and had no need Of repentance,
but he was a great example for the
race and we should follow his example
His one reason for the act was to full
fill all righteousness. Full means to

The climax Of the struggle was

about the noon hour the members Of

forced to admit that the Cherub Vas

mission with profane JUNCTION. They
did not understand why 1t was so.
They only knew that in some mysteri-

had been checked.
Thus it went. All that afternoon
the contest waged. Now the price Of
P, 2. and n. stocks slumped desper-
ately, now it skyrecketed amazingly.
Other stocks were affected. The
whole list quaked and quivered as the

chuckled the Cherub amicably. Then
as this reflection recalled something
to his mind he thrust his hand into an
inner pocket of his coat and drew out
a long envelope, at which he stared
blankly.
A twinge Of guilt pricked his con-
science. There-he had completely for
gotten the first errand with which she
had intrusted him. Doubtless IL was
to exchange this stock for cash that
she had been so anxious to come To
the city. Perhaps she had been ex-
pecting a remittance by every mail.
Shamefacedly he opened the envelope
to make an idle examination Of the
contents. At the first glimpse his e1-
