The preparation of John for his great
work began before his birth. He was
born of pious parents. His father was
priest and his mother was a saint. They
both felt that the coming child was
special gift Of God, destined to do a
great work. The prenatal influence OF
such a mother as Elizabeth mods the
child unerringly and unchangeably. Her
thoughts her desires, her aspirations ana
warnings enter into and become part
of the unborn babe. There is but one
way for accounting for the Samuels, the
Johns, the Augustines and Wesleys that
have blessed the church and the world.
They all lived in times of great spiritual
darkness: yet they all lived lives that the
world will not let die, because the aroma
of their piety lasts through the ages. And
the explanation of these saints is to be
found in their mothers. The Hannahs,
the Elizabeths. the Monicas and Susan
nah Wesleys of the world have made
their lives inevitable.
But the infuerfce. great as it was. VIII
not of itself account for John. The work
to which he was to be called was SO
great and SO unique that there must
needs be for it a special training he
must be reared in the wilderness. l.ques-
ton if God Himself could make a John

such a place a moral malaria that I'M

the churchman has a right to insist that
the trades uniOnist shall maintain the
church. If it is right in one case it must
be right in the other. II tine trades
unionist declares that the church must
stand uneGuivOcaly for organized labor,
then the church member has an equal
right to insist that tine trades unionist
must stand unequivOcaily for the church,
for they both declare for higher stand
ards of morals ana ethics, better homes,
better schools and better living in every
way.
1t seems to me that for the church to
say that the contentious Of organized
labor for improved conditions are just.
without committing itself in any way to q
particular system whereby these cond1-
tons to be secured is all that any
BODY has a right to expect of it. The
church must not stop at the point of
passing resolutions. but it must be given
the right to work with every or any
movement which is fighting for the secur-
ing of fairer conditions. The Catholic
Church. the Protestant Church and the
Jewish Church may work together in this
struggle, even though they may not &C
. cept enc anothcrs religious platforms, but
in so far as they agree upon the things
for which they are contending they
should present united front. If this lib
erty Is granted the church 1t will be very
much easier for the church to work to-
gether with the union in the accomplish
ment of specific reforms. The real test Of
IL =
sympathy for the trades uniOnst in this
struggle for better things is not in the
mere recognition OF his union. but in it's
Willingness to help him secure the prac-
teal things which he is after. This it can
readily do when the issue has moral
basis. in the case of fight for little
children, for weak women. for downtrod-
den men. for weekly rest day. for d liv-
ing wage for decent living conditions
When the question at stake is merely a
matter of expediency of jurisdiction, of a
recognition of the union, or a similar mat
ter. then the church must have the right
to remain neutral. just as the trades
union would not be expected to- take sides
were the church to take up the matter of
denominational differences of creeds or
forms of government. AS individuals we
may think as we please about the affairs
of the church of labor bat we cannot
assume to commit our organization-either
church or labor-to any system outside of
their peculiar province.

The Needed Preparation.

The world was expecting the coming
OF some startling event. Ii was full of
unrest. The Jews. porting over the proph
ecies which had so long been their sup
port, declared that the time had come for
the appearing Of the Messiah. 1t was an
age of universal peace. because the Ro-
man hordes had orerrun all nations. and
mad crushed out opposition in all land.
Spirituality was almost unknown. Men
thought only of earthly power. of pomp
and Splendor. They knew that a prepa-
ration for the coming King was neces-
sary. They We're expecting Him. But
they were looking down the pathway OF
military power and glory.
But the new King was to reign over
the hearts of men. II was to be a spir-
itual empire, subduing evil passions and
bringing the very thoughts into the obe-
dience of Christ. John. in the wilderness,
had learned the truth. He saw the worlds
need; and his message was adapted 10
their condition 1t is summed up in two
sentences, two blasts of the trumpet-the
call to repentance and the rousins decla-
ration that the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand. How startling. What could it
mean? No wonder that Judea and Cali
lee and the region about Jordan were
stirred Repent; turn away from your
sins; have done with the evil and wrongs
that have degraded you. and snow your
sincerity by being baptized for the
mission of sins. This was the message.
Its echoes soon filled the land The
hearts of men were touched. They came
from city, and village, and country: all
classes and all conditions FASTENED to
the Jordan and were baptized for the re-
mission of sin.
But who is he? The question was asked
of friend. and neighbor and stranger. But
none could answer. IT reached the ears
OF the Baptist. The Jews sent a delega-
ton to demand of him if he was the
Christ. He answered No" Art thou
Elias?' For they thought that Elijah
would rise from the dead before the COM
ing of the Messiah. NO" Art thou
that prophet And again he answered
NO who art thou. them" they de-
manded. What sayest thou of myself.
He answered. Il am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness. make straight
the way of the Lord John. l :2@s,. Johns
greatness is seen in his humility No
man better understood his mission than
did he. Nor did any man ever more nobly
or completely fulfill it than did he. He
was the greatest of the Old Testament
saints, though he was the smallest of the
new.

His Proclamation of the Messiah.

The point upon which John insisted was
that his work was simply preparation
for the coming of the Messiah. There
cometh one after me whose shoe latchet

fire." This is the need of the world at

this the baptism of repentance was SIM

Messiah was other and different from
that they had expected. 1t was to he
first of all a purging. The Jewish people
were like a threshing floor in which the

Messiah would thoroughly purge His
