John the Baptist, the Master de-
clared, was a prophet; yea, more
than a prophet, for OF him it was
written, Behold, l send my mes
senger before thy face, who shall
prepare thy way before thee" "
10) This noble character was
Gods chosen servant for heralding
the Messiah to Israel. His mes
sage to the people had been the
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand; re-
pent and believe the good news. "
Many had responded and had been
baptized, symbolically w h ing
themselves from sin and giving
fresh adherence to the Law and
care in it's observance. Prophetic
ally John had declared that stirring
times were ahead of the nation;
that the Messiah was about to make
a separation between the true wheat
and the chaff class; that he would
gather the wheat into his barn, but
would burn up the chaff in un-
quenchable fire. The wheat in this
prophecy signifed "the holy" the
righteous" who, as result of fol-
lowing Messiah, would be exalted
or glorifed. This prophecy was
fulfilled at Pentecost and subse-
quently, when the "Israelites in
deed" were accepted of God as sons
on the spirit plape-begotten of the
holy Spirit-as members of the
Body of Christ, members of the
Kingdom class-then in embryo,
but, later on, by resurrection
power, to be ushered into heavenly
glory and! dominion. The remain
der of the nation, merely nominally
Gods people, had merely the out
ward form, as chaff. For such, the
Prophet John declared a time of
trouble at hand, symbolically rep
resented by furnace of fire which
would consume them as people.
AS the forepart of this prophecy
was fulfilled at Pentecost, it reached
final accomplishment thirty-seven
years later, when the entire nation
collapsed, ceasing its national eX-
istence, which it has never since re-
attained.
But instead of Jesus becoming a
great king after the manner of
Johns expectation, to reward his
faithful and destroy the impious,
John beheld, What?-Himself cast
into prison and Jesus surrounded
by paltry few-barred from the vi
cinity of Jerusalem because the Jews
sought to kill him, and doing most
of his preaching in "Galilee of the
nations" amongst those who made
less religious profession and among
whom were few scribes or Phari-
sees or Doctors of the Law. More
over, Jesus had not made any at
tempt to deliver his forerunner
from prison, although he contin-
ually manifested great power in the
healing of diseases and the casting
out of devils. What could it all
mean? was Johns query. Had he
been mistaken?
Surely he was not mistaken in
supposing that he had Gods testi-
mony to Jesus at the time of his
baptism; as he had declared, This
is he!!" But what he? Was he
merely another prophet still greater
than himself proceeding the still
greater and true Messiah? Thus
wondering, he sent messengers to
inquire of Jesus saying, Art thou
he that should come (the Messiah),
or look we for another?"-Are we
to look behind you for a still great
er, through whom God will fulfill
his prophecy?
In answer to the query our Lord
sent word to John particularly of
the work he was doing, healing the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1910-04-14

sick, casting out devils and preach
ing the good tidings of Gods grace
to the poor. And he added, Tell
John not to get offended; not to al
low his faith to stumble in respect
to me. Otherwise he will lose a
great blessing.
The Master improved the oppor-
tunity to discuss Johns case, who
he was, etc, with the multitude.
For the fame of Johns preaching
had spread throughout the land and
many from all parts went to hear
him. What did they find him?
Merely reed shaken by the wind,
pliable to those who would influ-
ence him? Oh, no. They found
him rugged character, strong, in
dependent in the advocacy of the
Truth, in the bearing of his mes
sage. Did they find him clothed in
soft raiment and giving evidences
of being related to the great, the
wealthy, the noble of the time? No,
he was simply clad, lived in seclu-
sion, and was faithful and earnest
in the delivery of his message to all
who would hear. But if they went
out expecting to hear prophet
they were not disappointed, for John
was more than a prophet. AS an
other account renders this, Among
those that are born of women, there
is not greater prophet than John
the Baptist; but he that is least in
the Kingdom of God is greater than
he. Luke 1928.
These words by our Lord have
caused much perplexity amongst
Christian people, who have failed
to discern the necessity of rightly
dividing the Word of Truth" G
Tim. 2:15.) The matter is simple
enough when we remember that
John was the last of the faithful
under the Jewish dispensat
He was not invited to become one
of the disciples of Christ, nor one
of the Apostles, neither did he live
until Pentecost TO share in the bless
ings there poured upon the faithful.
He belongs to a class described by
st. Paul in Hebrews 11:38-40. He
was in a class with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob and all the prophets, of
whom the Apostle says, They
without US shall not be made per-
fect"-"God having provided some
better thing for u.s." the Gospel
Church, the Body of Christ, the
Bride class, than for them.-Heb.
11:4O.
The Great Teacher continually
referred to the Kingdom in all of
his discourses and in the simple
prayers which he set forth. This
Kingdom is to come into power at
the close of this Age and under it
as the Millennial Kingdom the whole
world will be subjected to Divine
Law for their deliverance from sin
and death, if they will, into right
eousness of life. The class that
will compose that Kingdom are
spoken of in the present time as a
Royal Priesthood in prospective
sense. They are in the School Of
Christ for preparation for the King
dom. Those faithful will make
their calling and election sure to
places in that Kingdom and sit with
the Master on his Throne, judging,
blessing and uplifting mankind.
How wonderful blessing is ours!
We cannot be so great as our Lord,
the Head, and his Apostles, his
most honored members, but if faith
full in that which is least, our glori-
Gus reward will be exceedingly high
far above angels and principal
tiles and powers and every name
that is named. ''-Eph. 1:21.

Mr. Hill was given the honor be-
cause of his services to the state as

ognized throughout the country as a
leader in the breeding of pure-bred

comes as the result of the great serv-
ice he has rendered in the develop
ment of horse breeding in Wisconsin,
through the farmers Institutes and In
his relations to the college of aglr-
culture. Nearly twenty years ago ne
went to France and imported some
of the best Percheron stock, which

any other farmer in the state to pro-
mote the high standard OF horse
breeding which now character1zes

versity because of his great contribu-
lions to improved agriculture through
