St. Johns dOspel-A Book Study.
BY REV. DR.. J. C. QUINN.

BY REV. DR.. J. C. QUINN.
The meaning of "John" Is "The
Gift of God" and suggests the
theme of the Gospel. In the
Gospel of John we have Jesus
Christ presented to US as the Di-
vine Son of God-the WORD"
(Logos) that was In the beginning
with God. (See Proverbs 8:22-3I),
the Word that in very truth twas
Cod" the Word that twas made
flesh" answering to the symbolic
fourth living creature in Ezekiel
and Revelations which was "like a
flying eagle"
In this Gospel, therefore, we
have Jesus, as the Divine Word /,
bringing Gods message of eternal
life and sending the Apostles and
others to proclaim the same mes
sage of love. "God so loved the
world that He gave His only be-
gotten son." to make atonement
for the sin of the world. Note
that-This Gospel starts with JE-
sUs' REJEcrIoN, chapters I;Io.1I;
the other Gospels close with this.
We see also in this Gospel (a)
the inquirer taught and (b) the
worker instructed by Jesus. ln
other words, we see Jesus, the Di'
vine Prophet, establishing the
Kingdom in truth.
Some of the peculiarities oi
Johns Gospel are: No pedigree Of
Iesus, and progressive open uT
of the way of eternal life, and nc
record OF the ascension, though the
writer was present when it took
place. No pedigree-The prOphe
was always selected by God as
mediator between God and man
He came from God with Cod
message to man. whilst the Prizes
after the appointment of Aaron
was born to bis Office and also
diator.

unto thee a Prophet from the mid:

me: unto him ye shall harkeu.

To Port Gibson fans, it is fact
OF ancient history that the c. H.
A. baseball team disappointed the
spectators by losing the first three
games to Boys High School of
New Orleans. For this defeat
they have no excuses to offer; they
were simply outclassed. But it is
also fact of mediaeval history
that these same Reds, playing fifty
per cent better baseball than in the
opening contests, brought un-
bounded Joy to the faithful few
followers who saw them admins
ter decisive defeats to the Memphis
University School nine.
Now, in an attempt to make

Items From Port Gibson Female
College.


The following letter, written by
Rev. H. G. Hawkins, appeared in
the New Orleans Christian Advo-
cate of recent date;
The attendance in our college at
Port Gibson has been q little bet
ter since Christmas than it was be-
fore. The enrolment of pupils up
to date for the present session has
been 1874, of whom 81 are in the
boarding department.. These pu.
pills are from 32 different parishes
and counties. The health of our
student body has been excellent up
to the present time.
During the past two sessions the
college herd of Jersey cows furn-
ished all the milk and butter re-
quired for the school. These pro-
ducts are of splendid quality. Our
college butter during the summer
of 1911 found a ready sale each
week at SO cents per pound. Last
summer we fed our cows on kafir
corn and lespedeza bay, or in the
language of our negro janitor who
assists with the cattle, or "Cath-
olic corn" and "Ebenezer hay"
Recently we have been giving
some attention to our pecan trees
on the college grounds, transplant
ing and thinning out where they
were too thick. On the college
square we have now twenty. eight
growing trees, young and old. Six
of these bore nuts the present
season, and one of them produced
five bushels, besides what the stu
dents picked up at recesses. These
nuts are served in tbe dining.hall
two or three times a week as parI
of our menu. Besides the twenty
eight trees on the college square
there are eighteen pecan trees or
the half block at tie rear of the
coIlege owned by the President o
the school. Two Of these are bear
ling, one being huge trunk witt
nuts of not ves good quality
Others are just beginning to bea
nuts OF very large fine variety. |
lis our expectation to have many 0
the young ones grated and bud
Ided. If this is successful, and
these trees can develop satisfac
torily, ten or fifteen years from
now they will prove equal to al
endowment of several thousan,
dollars for the institution.
/ One of the trustees, Mr.. ]. 7
Drake, of Port Gibson, gave $40
to our Annex fund last fall, and
lady friendly to the cause CAV
$500 last summer. This leave
only about $3.50 indebtedness upol

The PROGRESSIVE oPENING mp Of
the WAY OF RrRRHA1e LIFE This
Gospel commences with those IN
the position of John the Baptist $
disciples and there is no phase Of
experience from darkness to light
from death with life-that is not
dealt with either by direct teaching
or by miracle. 1t Is a handbook
for the anxious, to the believer and
also the worker. 1t begins by ac-
knowledging Jesus as the Prophet
sent from God; He, as the Propb-
ct gives the Words of God; and it
closes with His command to Peter,
Find my lambs" "Find my
sheep" In chapter 2I;I5.I6.
The Prophet reads the hearts OF
Nathaniel, Nicodemus and others,
and speaks to one and all the spe-
cial truths adapted to each case.
This Gospel gives the teaching oi
Jesus Christ concerning eternal
life. See John, 3:I6 with john
s:24.
As already stated, we have nc
record of the Ascension in this
Gospel. This is in harmony with
the special work of Prophet, the
prophetic Office being In this re:
spect very distinct from that of the
Kings and Priests Office.
The King had throne, the
Priest had temple and sacrifice
while the Prophet had to deliver {
message from God. Hence wher
