II. "Who Art Thou ?"

The Jews sent priests and Levites
into the wilderness from Jerusalem to
ask John this question: who art
thou?" What was Johns biography?
Why should Il man know himself?
Undoubtedly there is close relation
between mans knowledge of himself
and the spirit of true humility. John
ordinary ability. He knows he is not
the Christ" but he also knows he
has very definite work to perform
for God.
No man should despiSe his own per-
sonality. 1t has in it capacities
which are precious and which can be
used for Christ and others. Paul
said to Timothy, Let no man despise
thy youth Young or old. II man is
rich in powers which give him oppor-
tunity for happiness and service,
Have you taken an account stock of
your strength, your tendencies. your
daily possibilities for doing good?
III. THE Lamb of God"
Why was Jesus called the Lamb
of God? Why is he not called, for
example, the Warrior of God" or
something of that sort? Read EX.
12:3, 20. Sacrifice has always been
part of the ritual of religion. The
old statement in Hebrews 9:22, has
appealed to people everywhere:
Apart from the shedding Of blood,
there is no remission"
The significance of "the Lamb" lies
in his power to take away sin. This
is where Christ is supreme.
.'Some years ago DR.. Joseph Cook
delivered famous address at the
Parliament of Religions in Chicago,
following advocates of Eastern phil
osophies. In this speech he said,
turning to the latter: Gentlemen, /
beg to Introduce Il woman to you
who has had a great sorrow. She has
bloodStains on her hands, and do what
she will she can not wash them out.
She has been driven TO desperation
in her distress. The blood is the
blood OF murder, and nothing can
take away the stain. Is there any
thing in your PHILOSOPHERS or religions
that will tell this woman how to gel
rid of her great sin?'
OF one and then another of the
prominent representatives of human
theories he seemed to ask his ques.
tion as tho expecting an answer. Their
he said, You have said nothing tina
tells US how the stain Of sin can u,
washed from human life Then
lifting his eyes. he said: 4 will asl

man how she can get rid of this aw
full sin?' The great audience lis

we confess our sins, he Is faithful an,

which was rendered by our pioneers.
Take for example the quality and pur-
poses of the men and women who
came into the Western Reserve. The
tide of New England thought and
ideals can bc traced as easily as the
Gulf Stream. Settlers Of the right

DIR. Josiah Strong in his book Our
Country" tells of two townships, side
by side, one of which was settled by
godly people and the other by intidels.
The summary of the history of the
two townships is striking tribute to
the value of Christianity and of set

poses.

CHAMBERS SURE
TO MAKE TRY
FOR CONGRESS
Newcastle Editor and Sen
ator Expected To Enter
Race in Spring.

It is generally understood that Wal
ter Scott Chambers Of Newcastle, will
be candidate for the Democratic
nomination for representative in con-
gress from the sixth Indiana district,
at the Democratic nominating election
to be held next March.
Chambers is one of the best known
Democrats in the sixth district. He Is
a member of the Indiana legislature,
serving as senator from Henry coun-
ty; Is chairman of the Democratic dis
trict organization, and is the editor Of
the Newcastle Times, the leading
Democratic newspaper Of the sixth
district
Whether Mr.. Chambers will have
any opposition for the Democratic con-
gressional nomination is not known,
but, at this time. it appears improbable
that anyone will make the race against
him.
Mentioned Last Spring.
Chambers was prominently mention
ed as candidate for the Democratic
congressional nomination last spring
prior to the special election held in
June to elect successor to the late
! D. w. Comstock. When former Con
gresham Finly H. Gray, Of Corners
vile, expressed desire to again en-.
ter the contest, Chambers refused to
oppose him.
| Having been defeated by the late
| Judge Comstock at the election in No
vember of last year, and by Richard N
| Elliott, the Republican nominee, at the
special election last June, Mr. Gray, is
no longer considered factor in Demo
cratic politics in the sixth district and
it is said, Democratic leaders now re
gard Chambers as the strongest candt
date their party can offer for congress
/ sional honors.
