SCIAIC HICH tuIhN VI Sdyo oS lCuot, that Christ's treatment of John was rather hard. But the great. est tribute ever paid to any man was paid by Christ to John. Why, Jesus says among them that are born of women there has not risen agrea.er tn M Jo hn the Baptist. And from the days of John the Baptist. the Baptist have been the same greatest people that have ever risen sine e the days of John the Baptist and Christ.
 When the Lord said that Job was the greatest man of the earth. we could not understand whom He was talking about. but since Jesus Christ said there has not risen greater than John the Baptist. we know just whom He was talking about now. He was talking about the Baptists, the greatest people of all the earth.
 Was John the Baptist a prophet? Yes. I say unto you. and more than a prophet. He was Baptist preacher. This is he Well. who? John the Bapt ist of whom it is WI i,ten. Behold l send my messenger before thy face. which shall prepare the way hcfore thee. So you see the Baptists. have always been Gods messengers from John the Baptist and Christ down till now. and always will be. The Lord of Cory was the central object with John the Baptist. and the Lord of Glory is the central Ob- ject with the Baptist of our day.
 Elijah was the son of thunder: hut ro,hing to ccmpare wi h John the Baptist. No; no: John the Baptist was much more than a prophet, John was a Baptist preacher and the good part about it all. John was the Lords preach CT and so y'u s"c tNe Lords preachers have always been Baptist preachers. The Lord sent His preacher into the world to preach the everlasting gospel to a lost world. This was hi, mission. The Lord gave His preacher this mission and John the Baptist filled this mission preaching the gospel and baptiz- ing. and since Johr'S day the Lords preachers have always been Missionary Baptist preach CTS together with the whole church of Christ.
 The church of Christ is a Missionary Baptist church and all of Gods preach CTS are Mission ary Baptist preachers. This is SO: and God made it so. John Calvin's preachers are not Baptist preachers fer the good reason God did not make Calvin's preachers. That's Caivin's job. and Calvin did not make Baptist preachers. He made Presby- \ terian preachers. etc. God made Baptist churches and gave His commission to the Baptist church as such, to preach the gospel. And so the Lord started out with a Baptist preacher and clos- ed with Missionary Baptist church with full authority to preach the ,spel. and adminis- ter the ordinances of Chrisr.
 nd you see by the way. no man nor set of men has any right to preach or to.baptize if unsustain- ed by church authority. Our fathers. in the.r confession of A. D. 1889 refer to baptism and the Lords supper and Christ's ordinances to he continued in His church t. the end of the world.
 God bless the Baptist every where.

 We'll, what else? You just stop ard see John the Baptist. He can and will tell you all about it; but no one else can tell you anything about it So you see by the way, it just takes Baptist to tell you all about Gods ways. What is it? John says the aX is laid right at the root of every tree what for? John says that this old gospel ax will hew down and cast into the fire every tree which hringht not good fruit. After this the people asked John the Baptist saying, What shall we do?' And John said. He that hath to coats let him impart to him that hath none. As the people were in eXDecta- tion and all men unused in their hearts about John as to whether he was the Christ or not. John said unto them: "I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than am, the latches of whose hoes am not worthy to unloose. will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire"
 And then what? Always some thing else coming. Somebody says. We have been sent hv the chief priest of Jerusalem 10 l ind out who you are - Are YOU Christi" John said. No" Well, who are you?" What did John say? Did he say l am Jesus? No, What did he say then? He said T am the voice cry,ng in the wildness. ' He was not try. ing to put himself forward. He was all the time trying to get out of self. He just answered, II am the voice of one crying. make the Lords way straight. " Well, John if you are not Christ why do you baptize" John said .I baptize with water. but there is one among you, who you know not. He is preferred before me-" John the Baptist cid not take any honor or glory to him. self. And how it must have thrilled the people as John drew back and said. Ihave need to be baptized of thee.,, John knew our Lord at once. John said. T have need to be bay tized of Thee and comest Thou to me-"
 Jesus said unto him. Suffer it to be so now. And so our 1 ord goes down into the Jordon with John the Baptist to be baptized and [ h e m ment John tn Q Baptist baotized our Lord, the heavens opened unto Him and the Spirit of God des- cended like dove upon Him and God spoke and said. This is my believe Son. The God of the Old Testament was the Christ of the New. Johns teaching changed to some extent after this but he was not like some men of today who would want you to sign apledge cards and do this and the other and trust in their own strength
 The moment John got his eye on Christ. he had one text, and the text reads. Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world And this is how you are going to get rid of your sins. John says. "I bear record of this II. the Son of God. "

John The Baptist.

We find this man standing as it were. between two dispensa- ton. and his preaching was very much like that of Elijah. His cry was, repent. If John the Baptist had stopped at this. my brother, his cry would have died out with him. But John had something else to tell them. He kept telling them there was One coming mightier than himself.
 And sou may talk about sensa- ton; there was never a nation moved as that one nation was moved by John the Baptist In these days if am to stir a town or city must have the influence of the leading men of that city 70 stand around me and help me
 But there stood John the Baptist
 
 without any influence. preaching
 in the wildness. repent. John did not have brothers and sisters to sing for him to draw out the people. No, he just stood upon the banks of the Jordan alone.
 telling the glorious tidings of that One who was coming after him. | My brother. if John had some of these present day Christians with him, they would have said, do not be so bold about your preaching. you must be mild.
 Yes. old Brother Sankey just can't stand for so much of that
 Yes, yon must use a little moder. ation about this preaching. You see all through Johns preaching it was net what they wanted,
 but it was what they got. and they got just what God gave him to deliver. So here he is, they said, dressed with his leather girdle and his raiment of camel 5 hair. Yes, in this garb you see he stands on { h e bank of Jordan and his cry Is re-
 pent. repent; and that was his appeal all the day.
 John the Baptist preached the , gospel just as it was given him.
 See how bold he was! "Oh gen. eration of vipers." Pretty hard talk, wasn't it? But God gave ! him this pretty hard talk; and
 John just delivered 1t to the
 people. just like God gave it to him. l don't know as you could
 get many people into such talks 1 as John the Baptist delivered , while on the banks of Jordan.
 But John knew what he was
 doing and he knew they hated
 his Lord and Master. And when
 many came to his baptism he
 sai,: unto them. "Oh generation
 of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come!
 Bring forth fruit for repent , ance." So you see John knew g these men pretty well.
 In some way or some how John found out human nature pretty we'll too. This same old spirit of
 viperism has rolled and tumbled down these eighteen hundred I. years and you still find human f nature the same old thing today as it was ii Johns day. John : knew them pretty well Yes, and some of the Baptist know
 them pretty we'll today. So you r see by the way John said to these people that God Was able of these , stones to raise up children unto s Abraham. So you need no flat ter yourself that your are better than other people for God car

Boys Don't Blame The
 Merchant and Spe aIator

Boys let's blame our selves for the merchant and speculator handling our cotton and cotton seed, for back forty years ago in our fathers life time he must have needed thes merchant and speculator or he wouldn't have hired him to handle his cotton to thelspinnfe, just the same as we did just p years ago. When we made a two horse crop we hired a hand to run one double shovel and we took the other mule and double shovel and the hand plowed one side of the row and we plowed the other. And twenty years ago we got the cultivator, we paid off our hired hand, told him we didn't need him any more. that we could blow both sides of the row at the same time and save that expense. We didn't cuss him for what he had done because we needed him. We paid him off and told him good by in good humor. Now boys, the time is here that we don't need the speculator any more, for we can take both sides of the row like we did with the cultivator. We c4n grow cotton with one hand and sell with the other direct to the spinner under the pooling plan. So sign up, boys. sign up We have paid the merchant and Speculator for every bale of cot ton he has sold for us so we don't have 10 settle up with him. All we have to do is to discharge him in a kind way. thank him for what he has done for us and cur forefathers, tell him if he is in our part of the country in 1922. 23-24-25 to come and see us and see for himself how we are get ting along under the pooling plan. Say, boys. union or nounion, don't thil k that cotton at 22ct per lb 1t enough for us farmers. for 1t is not. Cotton in 1919 at 50ct per lb was not enough. Why? because the speculator's profit was there then, SD you sec we didn't get every dollar there was in it. Now, boys, if we don't get every dollar that there is in our labor who ought to have it. If l was to hire union brother or nonunion and he could live and have all the luXuries of life at $500 per day and l was to pay him $4.50 per day and wages was $500 per day he wouldn't work. Why? because he would want the other 5Oct because 1t was due him. It is the same when cotton is soc. per lb. We sure are getting plenty out of it, but we are not getting all there is in it. And who ought t 0 have it, boys, but us. Now. boys. let's line up. get on the firing line by 1922 To the nonunion boys who joined before don't fatter your self with the idea that it is a good thing. if we will just stick. Get in and get one of theso sticking plasters on you, just slike l have, and you will say, boys, we are done stuck l remain.
 Yours truly.
