~ ERsE What had John done to
W be in prison?
Verse 3-What do you think
had produced doubt in the mind of John
concerning the messiahship of Christ?
What, if anything, was there in Christs
manner of life that would be liable to
make John doubt?
What are the causes which often pro-
duce doubt in the minds of good men OF
matters of which at other times they

Elijah and John?
Verses 4-6-At what point did John
need most to be strengthened?
What did Jesus consider to be the su-

What today are the proofs for the di-
vinity of Christ's mission and gospel?
Verses 7-S-What special scenes OIL
demonstrations had attended Johns
preaching in the wilderness?
In what respect was John unlike "a
reed shaken with the wind?"
What sort of clothing did John wear:
What significance is there in the fact
that Jesus and John were not ailke IN
their manner of dress!
Verses 9-10-In what respect was John
more than prophet?
What is the evidence that NAL, 81,
from which Jesus quotes, refers to John
and Jesus?
AS a matter of fact how did John pre-
pare the way for Jesus?
Verse 11-What did Jesus mean by say
ing that there had not arisen one greater
than John the Baptist, but that the least

Verses 12-13-IIow did the great revival

Why can no power In heaven or earth
or hell keep really determined man out

Verse 14-John no doubt had the spirit

every man for a specific work and gives
him the power to do 1t?

the strength of kings and generals; of
men possessing wealth and power. 1t
is the strength of avalanche and glacier;
Of fierce tornado and Of ocean waves. The
other strength comes from a sense of
conscious rectitude, of trust in God, of
being not afraid of prison or death. if
the alternative involves safety with
shame. This is the strength that lies
within the seed, which, feeling the call
to rise and grow, fights it's way upward
through the frosty ground, pushing aside
the hindering clod or stone, nor stops
until it blooms and bears to feed the
nations or re-seed the earth. This is the
strength of that all-powerful beam which,
falling from the sun, finds its way down
among the leafy boughs to where the
acorn lies, and by its silent but resistless
energy lifts up the ponderous oak, to
stand erect among the forest kings.
1t is a far cry from the time of Darius
and Daniel, of Peter and John, to this
present day. but the tests of courage and
strength are still the same. The same
unworthy politicians would conSign the
conscientious man to the lions den; and
persecution still awaits the daring servant

these narratives.

fortitude of Daniel, as he plays, is not
the product of an hour or day. 1t is the

All the cheerful yesterdays will bring
happy tomorrows.
Goodrich said "Of all the virtues
cheerfulness is the most profitable. 1t
makes the person who exercises it happy
and renders him acceptable to all he
meets While other virtues defer the day
of recompense, cheerfulness pays down.
1t is cosmetic which makes homeliness
graceful and winning; it promotes health
and gives clearness and vigor to the
mind; it is the bright weather of the
heart; in contrast to the clouds and
gloom of melancholy"
1t is duty to be pleasant, not simply
a charm or faculty. 1t is the festival
spirit which fills the heart and life with
harmony and furnishes sweet music to
the soul, the melody of which rings out
in notes of highest praise and thanks
giving. The best Christians are the
bright. cheerful ones; without them the
church would have little attractive force.

devout, do not attract adherents They

which the Avenue car line turns up b
street toward the Capitol
The first meeting place by the congre-
cation for worship was the Toulouse of
the Executive Mansion. the first COM

ment OF the Capitol
Early in the history of the church the
growth Of the city'S population began TO
turn westward, and the church. following
this tendency, transferred it's location to
AZ street, now John Marshall place, in
1927, where it has remained through the
years following
Among the prominent worshipers of
the church have been four Presidents of
the United States. Andrew Jackson
James X. Polk, Franklin Pierce and
Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Cleveland was a
communicate member of the church. Gen
L. S. Grant was a pewhoder for many
years, while general of the army and
previous to his election to the presidency
He afterward worshiped in Metropolitan
NJ. f. Church.
Vice President Colfax also wor-

Prophets Perplexity.

The cause of this perplexity can be
expectation Of John. John did not ques-
ton the fact of Jesus meeting the pro-
phetic conditions, but his intense, i'm
patient and intolerant spirit could not
fathom the Master. who did not demand
purity as preliminary test. Our Lord did
not ask for the evidence of righteous
ness, but invited sinners who mad as
piration 10 be righteous to come INTO his
ranks in their sins. The supremacy OF
Jesus in his struggles with the Scribes
and Pharisees and his power over the
sick, suffering, even mastering the dead,
was an evidence to John that He made
no mistake at the Jordan, but he could
not understand the Messianic manifesto
or methods of Christ.
The struggles, suffering and sorrows of
the solitary prophet had not fitted him
to understand the tolerant spirit of love
that Jesus revealed in His messages. min
istry' and miracles. He turned to the
right one who alone can settle our spirit
ual struggles. He sent a deputation TO
Jesus with the question, Art thou the
Messiah or are we to look for another
kind of q Messiah The Christians who

temptations and trouble become dis
couraged dsheartened and disturbed will
find speedy relief if they follow the ex-
ample of John, who presented his per-
picking problems to Jesus. The reply
may not be what We expect or desire, but
Ii will satisfy us and remove our per-
plexites. just as Johns was by Christs
credentials.
