make Zacharias' joy all the greater; joy
that is shared is always the best joy. He
would be prophet like Elijah. He would
teach the people and love Jesus, who
would come after him.
ZachariaS was not ready to believe the
messenger until the angel told him he
was Gabriel. Then the angel gave him q
sign that what had been said would come
to pass; Zacharias would be dumb until
the day of Johns birth.

Measure of Greatness.

One reason Zacharias was glad as he
looked forward to having a son was be-
cause Gods messenger had said that John
would be a great man. A normal father
IS always glad to think that a son of his
will be great man. But Zacharias' ideas
of greatness were not like those of many
parents. There are many standards of
greatness. By the worlds standard those
only are great who have compelled the
attention of millions by their deeds. It
matters little whether the deeds be bad
or good; If the man be supreme in his
chosen sphere, the world is apt to hail
him as a great man. Thus Napoleon was
great because he conquered an empire
and terrorized the world.
But there is something beyond the
greatness of a Napoleon The world has
not recognized its greatest men-men
who have been great only when meas
ured by the higher standard of a Cod
fearing life. Measured by the standard,
John. the son of Zacharias, who was to
be called John the Baptist, because he
baptized those who would confess their
sins as a part OF his preparation for the
ministry of Christmas to be one of the
worlds greatest men. He would be home
less, a child of the desert; but his inf1u-
ence would be greater than that of the
king in his palace. He was to proclaim
an unwelcome message in the ears of
needless men and women. He was to
risk his life in the discharge of duty, and
he. was to lose his life at the nod Of an
immoral woman. But he would be great,
in spite of all these things; great accord
Ing to the highest of all standards-the
standard Of God. The angel said. He
shall be great in the sight Of the Lord
His greatness would be due to the fact
that the Holy Spirit would be with him
and that he would not be self-seeker;
his only thought would be to advance the
interests Of another-and that other the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Tribute Of Jesus.
The prophecy was fulfilled. John did
become q great man. After his short
ministry, when he was in prison. Jesus
gave His testimony to Johns greatness
He rebuked them by giving His wonderful
son of Zachardas as a pitiful failure; SO
He hebuked them by giving His wonderful
testimony to the worth OF His friend and
forerunner. The occasion Of the tribute
was the visit to Him of messengers who
came from John in the prison.
AND when the messengers OF John were
denarted. He BEGAN to say unto the null
tfthdes concerning John: What went We
out into the wilderness to behold: reed
shaken with the wind? But what went
We out to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold. they which are gor-
geously appareled and live delicately are
In kings courts. But what went We out
to see? A prophet? Yea. I say unto you.
and much more than a prophet. This is
he of whom 1t is written: Behold, ! send
my messenger before thy face. who shall
prepare thy way before thee.

are born of women. there is none greater |
than JOHN
Johns fame can safely rest on those |
words.

Baudette, Dec. 2. - double
drowning occurred in the Rainy riv-
er opposite Clementson Friday night,
when Amos Annis and Michael Carey
lost their lives. The young men who
were working for farmers on the
Canadian side, secured a small boat
and started across the river to spend
the evening with friends at Clement
son.
This was about eight o'clock and
shortly afterward cries for help were
heard by persons on both shores, but
nothing could be seen of the young
men. The boat was an old one and
the general theory is that it sank in
the middle of the river Searching
parties were on the scene early the
next morning but no trace of either
the bodies or of the boat could be
found. The search for the bodies has
been kept up ever since, but so far
without success.
The victims of the accident were
about Twenty-Five years of age. One
was a Scotchman and the other an
lrishman, and they came from the old
country only about year ago. Annis
had established home at the Can
adam side of the International bridge
where his mother and one sister re-
side.
Carey has one brother, George, who
resides on the Canadian side opposite
Clementson.
The tragedy has caused deep gloom
at Sleeman and Clementson where
the young men were we'll known and
liked. The homesteaders are bending
every effort to recover the bodies
without delay, as the river is expect
ed to be frozen over any day now.

war has broken out-nOt in foreign
lands, but here on the American con-
tinent This may be news to the
great majority of the people, but,
nevertheless, war-bloody, cruel, bar
barous war-now exists between Cen
trail Western Canada and the states
forming the north central tier of the
United States. The reason that so
few people may be aware that hostll-
tiles are now in progress is explained
by the fact that this war, though des-
perately waged, has resulted in the
killing of nothing but time-it exists
only in the imagination.
Today the beautiful little city of
Brandon, the gateway of Manitoba,
is withstanding a desperate assault,
only the strength of the Canadian
troops being interposed to prevent the
combined forces from the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Wisconsin from rush
ing the breastworks. capturing the
prosperous Canadian city and carry
ing it away in shawl strap.
While the ruin and carnage and
the smell of gunpowder, as we'll as
border are purely imaginary, the Of
ficers in charge of the Canadian forces
are real live, hustling, kicking,
scrambling human beings, bent upon
one purpose-the winning of this
battle-and if they do not prevent
Brandon from being captured by the
Americans Gin their imagination) it
will not be because they are not alert
and doing their level best. To be
taken prisoners by the Americans
would be a disgrace that they do not
propose to be charged with.
But the hostilities raging in the
surrounding country have no terrors
for the peaceful inhabitants within
the city Never, in fact, have they
moved about the streets and attend
ed to their usual daily tasks with a
greater sense of security than in the
midst of this war; when the BOOM
ing of cannon and the Kissing and
bursting shells are SCATTERING the i'm
agination of the officers.
Among the officers now in Brandon

were actually in a state of interne-

Village Life In Egypt.

Egyptian village life is quaint and
Interesting, says the Wide World Mag
azine. The houses are crude, one-sto-
ned structures of sun-baked mud, with
possibly a couple of tiny square holes
cut In the wall for ventilation. Each
home consists of single room, abso-
lutely devoid of furniture, one or two
drinking jars and cooking utensils be-
ing usually the only articles to be
seen. The roofs of these novels are
matched with cornstalks, and for
some unaccountable reason all the
household rubbish is dumped on the
roof! For this purpose a ladder may
frequently be seen reclining against
the side of the house. From a dis
lance a village is apt to look like an
immense rubbish heap. These primi-
tive erections are inhabitated solely
by the fellaheen, as Egyptian peas
ants are called.
In some Of the Arab villages the ar
engagements for sleeping are, even
more unconventional. Huge cup-Hke
structures made OF mud, are built out
IN the open, away from the houses,
and into these the babies are frequent
y placed during the day, and often tho
entire family sleep In them at night
The idea is to escape the numerous
snakes and scorpions which abound
during the great heat OF the summer.
