MISSION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
 IS ADVENT SUNDAY LEsSON

The gospel read in all the Catholic churches of the world yesterday, the third Sunday in Advent. was John l.
 1928, narrating the answer of John the Baptist to the deputatieH of priests and Leyites who came to question him; during his lahors in Bethany. Preach
 ing at the high mass in St. Patrick $ church, Rev. Daniel E. Sullivan ceRsid-
 cred the mission of John, the precursor of the Redeemer, who. in answer to the question of the embassy from Jerusa- lem, Who are theu7' replied with such 1 humility. r nthe desert, the Baptist taught ever the necessity of doing penance, the ne- cessity of prayer; humility, peRance, prayeF-that was the lesson the RreAch- CT left with his hearers, after he had put to each the query, How would you answer, if asked as was John, <s.Wh9 art thou?" It was a rebuke to those l who, because they chance to have gifts and graces forget that all these come | from God, are but talents to be multi | piled in Gods service = who, because i they may be sinless now. ssforget that | temptation may at any time come upon l them, causing their downfall as it has
 and good.
 The penance which John taught, tht prayer, above all, the humility, were
 urged, that each sopL1fiay make straight l the way of the Lord in fitting Rrepara- 1 ton for the coming of the Babe ol | Bethlehem at Christmas.
