Punishment.

The promise seemed too good to be true.
Zacharias asked for a sign that a SON
who would be equipped with the Holy
Spirit from his birth. live a life of q
Nazarfte and be great in the sight of the
Lord should be born to him. He doubted
the message but received the proof He
had used his tongue to express his re-
quest for a sign, and the member was
silenced until the prophecy WAS fulfilled.
The doubts possessed by Gods people
of the power of our Lord to execute His
plans has caused many Christian to live
in paralyz ed condition. If we had faith
and would prove Gods promises by trying
to obey Him, we would be blessed in His
service. Lacnarias came forth speeches.,
but he went home to ponder over the
life John. while in prison, revealed this
same trait. IIe doubted Christ. and sent
his disciples to inquire of Jesus IL He
were the Messiah or not. Without faith
1t is impossible to please God /" Have We
confidence that our Lord viii do what He
says? Does the gospel appear too great
for us? 1t seemed SO to Zacharias.
1t appears to be impossible, but moth.
ing Is impossible with God. The great
est part of the promise was that through
his sons possession of the Spirit Of God
prophecy would be revived II meant tho
dawning Of the kingdom. The priest re-
ceived his proof that the prophecy would
come true.
The Interview between Zacharias and
Gabriel, who apparently is the messenger
of grace, must have been brief, because

had been left .unlighted. The appear
ance. agitation and attitude OF Zach
arias caused them to "tarry in wonder
while the multitude and priests without
waited anxiously. fearing harm had come
to Zacharias because the priest was their
representative before God. who to their
mind was far from man. and the delay
naturally caused fear. When Zacharias
returned he was unable to pronounce ths
benediction. They realized b. the signs
and his apparent excitement - 1t he had
seen a vision while engaged In the serv-
ice At the close of the weeks service
he returned home to await the fulfili;nent

FOUNDER OF SALVATION ARMY

The recent death of General Will
liam Booth reminds the world afresh
of the wonderful life work of the
man, and it is not surprising that
in all lands there is evidence of gen.
uine admiration and appreciation OF
his achievement and desire to do
honor to his memory There is war
rant for confidence that his death
will not affect operations of the Sal
Walton Army in any part of the
world. The movement is so well
organized, it's work so systematized,
that it's activities can hardly be af-
fected if there is anything like fairly
intelligent and faithful effort on the
part of the leading spirits, and as a
son of General Booth is to succeed
the father and founder it may be i'm
agined that there will be no lack of
militant and cohesive spirit. The
slogan of "Blood and Fire" will con-
tinue to thrill the hearts and minds
of the rank and file of the Army,
and its drum-beat, like that of the
British empire, will be heard around
the globe. There is evidence that
General Booth, at the outset, had no
idea of the proportions the move
ment would assume. But he had
wonderful executive ability and kept
the work we'll in hand. He grew
with it and it never got away from
him. Derided and misunderstood in
its early days, it has won the conf
dence and respect of society as
means to good-as a force for hui
mainly, and therefore for religious
development, because it appealed to
men in such a truly human way.
In the rural districts the Salvation
Army is hardly known. In the cities
people have come to know it well
and to respect it as presenting the
most forceful illustration we have
had in modern times of the religion
of service the Jesus of Nazareth
taught. Truly did William Booth
live for good, for the honor of God,
and his work will endure-as will
also his name and fame.
