LESSON TEXT-John 1884
| GOLDEN TExT-Behold, the lamb OF
| God that taketh away the sin of the
| world.-John 1:29.
John began his public ministry in the
! summer of A. d. 26 and the baptism of
Jesus probably took place in January,
A. d. 27. The delegation from Jerusa-
lem to interview John must have ap-
peared along toward the latter part Of
February.
!. John the Witness wv. 1913.
Johns ministry created great excite
ment. The people were in expectancy.
All classes We're reasoning as to who
this strange but marvelously forceful
man might be. Some thought perhaps
he was the Christ duke 3:15). To
settle this question a committee was
sent to Jerusalem to investigate.
Malachi, the prophet, has suggested the
coming of Elijah (Mal. 4 5) before the
Messiah should come, and another
prophecy indicated that the prophet
should be like unto Moses Oeut.
1S:16-1S). John freely confesses to
this delegation that he is not the
Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet pre-
dicted by Moses. How foolish and
silly are those modern ones who pro-
fess to be the messenger of the COW
enant or some other fanciful title, in
dicating the return of the witness
which is to precede the coming of
Christ. John exercises humility in the
way he states his real position though
he does apply to himself the prophecy
of Isaiah Elsa. 40 :3-5) which sets forth
what his mission was to be. A voice
can be heard but not seen. With our |
bodily eyes we never see a spirit. No |
man ever saw the soul of his nearest !
friend. We do see God, however, in
his works, in his marvellous deliver
ances and his guidance of the world /
and his answers to prayer.

might be fitted for entrance into the
kingdom. Baptism is not conversion.
1t is witnessing and a symbol of q
spiritual truth that we are dead unto

(Rom. $3.50. Like John, our voice
must be not only that of humility but
it must be really voice with a mes

John first testifies that Jesus was the
Lamb of God, referring of course to
the sacrifcial lamb, the atoning sacri-
flee of the Old Testament (Gen. % rs;
Elk. 1913; lisa. 53:7). AS the Lamb of
God, Jesus would take away the sins

ton of another and the deliverance
from the guilt of sin. The next day

unto him, and said to the assembled

The work of Christ is for the whole

The work of Christ is for the whole
world till all its sin is removed.
He is actually removing sin from the
world and when he comes again, sin
will be banished. Luke's record adds
that this same Messiah is to baptize
with the Holy Ghost and fire.
Christians are to be on fire for God
The gift of the holy spirit at Pente-
cost was the first and most manifest
expression of this power of Christ who
is the real baptizer. Begotten of God
(Luke L: 35). possessed of all the at
tributes of the Father (Phil. 2:6), the
one in whom the fullness of the God
head dwelt bodily (Col. 2:9) he is to be
honored and worshiped as God (Heb.

Here is a suggestion made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for reducing the discarded
portion of the potato to a minimum:
An Economical Way to Peel Potatoes.
Drop washed potatoes in vessel
OF rapidly boiling water and allow
them to remain 10 inmates. Remove
and strip the thin skin as when po-
tatoes are peeled after thorough cook
ing by boiling. The potatoes will
still be practically raw and may be
handled like raw peeled potatoes in
preparing any dish. as scalioped.
French or German fried potatoes, po-
tato chips. etc.
One excellent way to cook the skim
ned potatoes is to bake them. The
entire potato, including the thin,
golden brown crust may be eaten.
This recipe for economical peeling
of potatoes was furnished by house
wife and tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
department will be glad to have 9TH

tees which they have found useful

ExPoRFS OF SUGAR
CAUSES SCARCITY HERE

Some sections of the United
States are temporarily short OF sugar
because the Nation is partially fill
ing the imperative needs of the al
lies and is supplying sugar for it's
troops in France. In 1917 the Unit
cd States has exported over is times
as much as IT had averaged in the
three years preceding the war.
The worlds sugar crop for 1916
1917 was nearly 100000 tons less
than that OF 1928. A greater
shortage. however, affects the Euro
pean allies because their own pro-
duction has been greatly cut, and
prior to the war Germany and Aus
tria exported each year approximate
ly 1,722,0O6 tons. In pre-war times
England received 50 per cent of her
total sugar supply from the central
powers. which is now supplied from
the United States sources.
While European allies are being
materially aided with sugar from
the United States, they are Ear from
getting more than their share at the
expense Of the citizens who once in
a while may have to drink his sof-
fee unsweetened. The average con
sumption OF sugar per capita in Bug-
land before the war was more thar
90 pounds year. Now the NAY
imum limit is &c pounds, with some
likelihood of that being unobtaina-
BILE. In France the limit is Is pounds
per capita; in Italy j, pounds.
The average consumption of sugar
per capita in the United States is
still about 90 pounds.

FOOD PRICES.
(By Harry b. Hunt.

(By Harry b. Hunt.
The relative increase in the price
of staple foodsJuns in Germany Eng
alnd, Canada and the United States,
since the beginning of the war, is
graphically set out in a chart pre-
pared by experts in the office of the
Canadian food controller. A copy
has been received by Food Admins
traitor Hoover.
This chart shows that whereas the
cost of foods has increased in this
country on an average of slightly
less than 40 per cent, the increase
in Canada has been SO per cent, in
England 206 per cent, and in Ger
many-in November OF last year,
when the last authentic figures for
German foodstuhs were obtainable
-210 per cent.
While prices ia Canada and Eng
land have tended constantly upward,
with the exception OF a brief period
from June to August this year when
the new harvests were coming in,the
peak Of high prices in the United
States was r:atned in May, 1s1 7,Just
before the food control bill was pass
ed, and that since June there has
been a decline OF approximately 10
per cent, on the basis of prices July,
1914, when the war began.
In preparing the chart, staple
foods such as woald form the basis
Of the average famiiy's diet were TAX
en- and the cost of this group of com
modities as of Juiy, 1914, made the
standard Of comparison for each
country.
The cost OF the same group was
then taken for each month since,anu
expressed as IA percentage of the pre-
war cost of July, 1914.
As the starting point of each line
in the chart is the price level in each
country in July, 1914, the chart
shows not the difference in dollars
and cents between the cost OF foods
in the different countries, but the rise
of prices in each country as based on
its own pre-war level.
The most significant thing shown
by the chart, in the opinion OF w
j. Hanna, c. c., food controller Tor
Canada, is that prices in the United
States turned downward at time
when this country was tremendously
increasing it's war activities aud float
ing billions of bonds.
This, he believes, indicates thai
the food administration is getting q
firm grip on the situation and tha'
this country win be saved from the
extreme initiation in food prices from
which England and Germany havc
suffered.

JAPS PLANTED RICE SEED
THOUSAND YEARS AGO

Toxic. Dec. 1.-(By Mail. Rice
grown directly from seed grains l.
GOO years old will be served the En-
peror of Japan when he attends the
autumn maneuvers of the japanese
army in Shiga prefecture this fall.
The ancient rice grains were found
inside a wooden image Of yaisravana
in a little Buddhist temple in the vii
lage of Iwame.
Vaisravana is the god OF wealth,
and his image had become so old As
to need repairing. In the course OF
doing this there was found inside the
image aaxeh bag containing the
seed and a paper with the following
instruction in ancient Chinese char
acters:
This image has been carved for
the peace Of the world. Ii any one
of later generation opens il, hp
should pat ia new seed" From The
artistic style OF the carving and the
traditions relating to the image, il
was estimated that the seeds were
1000 years old They were plant
ed and yielded a good crop.
