Some people can prosper and main
tain a respectable standing among
their fellows without being fully ia

By a perusal or, better still. by a

the Bridegroom is John"
but 1 am the Bridegroom's friend and
rejoice to hear His voice.-John iii, 20.
The Prophecy of zacharias.
st. Peter distinctly tells us respect
ing the Old Testament Prophets, that
''Holy men of old spake and wrote as
they were moved by the Holy Spirit"
that frequently they uttered deeper
and broader truths than they them
selves comprehended.
This is true of the prophecy Of Zach
arias, in this lesson. Verses 68-7O con
stitute the first division of this prophe-
cy; praise to God To Him all honor
and praise are to be given for the full
filment of His gracious promises OF
old, ''for He hath visited and brought
redemption to His people; He hath
raised up a horn of salvation for US in
the house of His servant David"
Here, after the usual manner of
prophecies, the thing about to be ac-
complished is spoken of as though it
had been done.
AS John the Baptist was born but
six months before Jesus, it follows
that the begetting of Jesus had already
taken place at the time of this prophe-
cy. The Holy Spirit spoke of the
things begun, but not yet accomplish
ed, as though finished: HE hath visit
ed and brought redemption for His
people"
This word redemption applies not only
to the redeeming work accomplished
by Jesus in the conservation of His
life at baptism and down to the com
pletion of His sacrifice at Calvary, but
1t is comprehensive enough to take in
all the work of retaining humanity.
Deliverance From Enemies.
The second section or strophe of this
prophetic poem runs from verse II to
IS. It relates to the deliverance of
Gods people from the power of their
enemies One important thought here
is that none but Gods people will
ever be delivered from the enemies
here referred to.
During Messiah's reign of q thou
sand years, when all the blind eyes
will be opened and all the deaf ears
will be unstopped, and when the
knowledge of the glory of Gods char
acter will be clearly revealed and the
horribleness of sin be manifested
then many, now led captive by Satan
at his will, will bow the knee and con
TESS to the glory of God
In other words, as Jesus said, His
consecrated followers are His little
fock'' of the present time. But during
His glorious reign He will gather an
other flock. AS He said, "Other sheep
I have which are not Of this fold
them also I must bring, that there
may be one fold and one Shepherd. y
John K, 10.

"One fold and one Shepherd" does
not signify that all of the sheep will

friendly Roman Catholic priest, and as
we talked of conditions in the two
countries, he said, "Over in America
your young men don't have voca-
ton" He used that word vocation"
in its highest significance, meaning
that few modern Americans hear the
call to the ministry of the Word. He
deDlored the exodus of likely youths
from old ireland where free from the
material tempta tons of America, they
would at least be likelier to hear the
summons of the highest calling. The
old priest touched a vital spot in our
modern life. It is not the custom now
adavs for parents to offer their chill
dren on the altar as Gods ministers.
Many are saying distinctly that they
would not care to have a son become a
preacher. This is one of the signs OF
the times that is significant and de-
pressing.
The Discipline of the Desert.
This wonderful boy John was not to
be trained in conventional schools.
Not his the easy manners and urbane
polish of the city dweller- From IN
fancy he was a character set apart,
a Nazarite whose hair might not be
cut. and who might not touch the fruit
of the vine After his early years in
the cody home of Zacharias and
Eliza beth he went off into the desert.
The imagination loves to brood upon
this Young man, far off from his fell
lows doubtless somewhere along the
great depression of the Jordan valley
Perhaps he dwelt amid the fantastic
caves of the mountains east Of the
Lake of GaliIee. Possibly as tradi-
ton says. he made his home in the
huge ravine at the bottom of which
the brook Cherith flows, as Elijah had
done before him. Perhaps he lived
along the rugged shores Of the Dead
sea: it may even be that his home was
in one of the limestone caves of Mount
Wherever it was. he had time tc
think Detached from the world he
could estimate its values more truly
Beneath the soft skies of night, I'M
sullied by smoke of man. he could con-
slider the will of God and the mean
ings Of life. Would that for every one
US there might be a time apart in the
desert places, where. free from the
roar of the twentieth century and the
distracting anXieties of our complies
and artificial civilization. we might
learn the real meaning of existence
If there were more desert experiences
there would be fewer nervous col
| lapses. No dweIler in the desert car
be an infidel God is real and norma
to such; and his service is perceived
as the most proper mission for a man

DON 7 PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color

''Pull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place" Is an old saying,
which is, to great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is a sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, hfeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems 10 be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be re5orted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons TO use is the old-fashioned ''saoe
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration Of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimUlants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth' Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair. removes
dandrUff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to It's natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
DAYS treatment viii make in your hair
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended ard sold by all druggists.
