The question of John the Baptist
Matt 11:1-19-
Golden Text But the witness which
1 have is greater than that of John: for
the works which the Father hath given
me to accomplish. the very works that
/ do, bear witness of me, that the Father
hath sent me, John 5-S6. (R- VI
Verse Jesus appears to have taken
great pains to instruct his II disciples,
but why did he not leave them to be in
structed wholly by Gods Spirit?
In the case of preaching, or prayer,
or testimony, does God propose for US
just TO open our mouths and he will
fill them" or that we should be as
thoroughly and humanity prepared. as II
there were no God?
Does thorough preparation for Chris
than work. show lack of faith, or strong
faith in God? Why?
Verses 2, 3+Why did John ask this
question as TO whether Jesus was the
Christ?
What if any reason is there to believe
that John was now wrestling with
doubt, as TO the truth of what he had
been preaching concerning Jesus?
What would you say concerning
man Of God teaching spiritual truth, in
one period. which he knew to be true.
and subsequently having grave doubts
of the very truth of which he had been
so sure?
Does any kind of doubt on the part of
a holy man, necessarily imply sin, or
show weakness?
Is doubt a necessary part of Gods
training or not. for men of strong
character and important work?
Verse 4.-Why is a man bowed down
with sorrow and crushed with diSap-
pointment. not in a condition to proper
" weigh evidence of spiritual truth2
Jesus said Go and show John again
those things etc. is evidence of spirit
ual truth made more forceful through
being repeated on different occasions
and whether or not, why was it neces-
sary to repeat to John what he had al
ready heard?
Why would it not be a blessing to
the people if a minister repeated his
most effective sermons?
Verses 5. 6.-Jesus laid stress in that
day upon his miracles. coupled with III
fact that He preached the gospel to the
poor, as the proof of his messiahship
but what is the supreme or chief proof
today? (This question must be an
swered in writing by members of the
club.)
Even suppose the miracles Of Jesus
should prove to be historical myths
would that detract in any measure from
the grandeur of his character or the
greatness of his work?
Verses I, ,S.-What influences caused
John to live such a plain. or rigorous
life? (See Matt. ga. ct seq.)
Take for example two men, one de-
vout, the other Goddess. one living IN a
richly furnished home and dressing ID
good clothes, the other living in a plain
home and wearing coarse appa'
which of the two is more likely TO De
the goddess man, and why?
What was the difference in the mode
OF the life of Jesus. and that of John
the Baptist?

GRACE GEORGE GIVES MATINEE.

GRACE GEORGE GIVES MATINEE.
There are plenty OF good seats left for
the matinee Monday to see Grace George.
Thompson Buchanan's comedy of mod
ern life, called "A Woman's Way" fur
nishes Grace George with a most viva
cious role, which is further enhanced
by the wholly satisfactory support of
her large cast. The situations grow
out of this bare outline. A married man
falls in love with another woman, his
wife determines TO Introduce her sue
cessor, and invites her TO dine. BY means
of the notwithstanding events that fol-
low. she wins back her husband The
whole play is bright, clean and thor
oughly modern. The scenes are laid in
q home on upper Fifth avenue, New
York, overlooking Central park, and the
dialogue Is brisk and crisp.
The play will be seen at the Ell Paso
Monday matinee and night.

II affects the real estate business, as
has been demonstrated this week.
For the past six days there have been
just as many homeseekers and just as
many dealers with homes to sell as
during any recent week. But sand
storms and cold snaps have played an
important part in temporarily holding
sales, many dealers seem to believe.
Women, especially, prefer to take a
look at a home site in sunny weather.
and even strong, husky men postpone
any home finding activity until the sun
shines.

CENTRAL WILL LAY DOUBLE TRACK
sp rted That Contracts Have Hesn
Let For Double Line Between
Chicago and Waterloo.

Manchester people will be interest.
ed in the following article from the
Dyersville Commercial in regard to
the Illinois Central laying double
track between Chicago and Waterloo:
| Not only the report but the assur-
ance is current in raiload circles,
says a special dated at Dubuque, that
the Illinois Central will lay double
track from Chicago to Waterloo to
relieve the congested condition of
their tracks. 1t is stated in this
connection that the Illinois Central
has actually let the contracts for the
! work.
Although no public announcement
has been seen as yet, to this effect,
the fact that it is to be done seems
to be no secret and to be hampered
by no doubts among Illinois Central
employees here. A number of then
speak freely of the change and an
nounce that their information comes
direct from an authoritative source.
Freight is badly tied up between
Chicago and Omaha" said a we'll
known railroad man, land something
has to be done. The tracks are full
OF cars, and for lack of sufficient
trackage the freight cannot be NOV
ed. 1t is imperative that some
thing be done, and the road, recog-
nizing this, has been at work for
some little time in preparing for the
improvement"
BY supplying double track from
Chicago to Waterloo, the present DIFF
ficulty will be largely overcome and
this most welcome possibility seems
near at hand if there is no mistake
about the contracts being let.
