The divinity and incarnation OF Jesus
Christ
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was With God, ana
the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning
with God
3 All things were made by hlm
and without. him was not any thlhg
made that was made.
In him was life: and the lie
was the light of men.
, And the light shineth i'll dark
ness: and the darkness comprehend-

There was man sent from
God. whose name was John.
The same came for Il witness.
to bear witness of the Light, that
all men through him might believe.
3 He was not that Light. but was
sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light. which
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world.
10 He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
II He came into his own, and his
own received him not.
II But as many as received him.
To them gave the power to become
believe on his name:
II Which were born. not OF blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man. but of God.
IA And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among rs, (and we be-
held his glory. the glory as Of the
only begotten of the Father full

| spake. He that cometh after me
is preferred before me: for he was
before me.
16 And of his fullneSs have all we
received, and grace for grace.
II For the law was given by
Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ.
Is No man hath seen God at any
time: the only begOtten Son, which
is in the bosom of the Father, he
hath declared him.
10 And this is the record of John,
when the Jews sent priests and Lee
vites from Jerusalem to ask him.
Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied
not: but confessed. / am not the
Christ
21 And they asked him. What
then? Art thou Elias? And he saith,
/ am not. Art thou that prophet!
And he answered No.
- Then said they unto him, Who
art. thou? that we may give an
answer to them that sent us. What
sayest thou of myself?
% He said. l am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness. Make
straight the way of the Lord. as
said the prophet Esaias.
"A And they which were sent
were of the Pharisees.
% And they asked him. and said
unto him, Why baptizest thou then,
if thou be not that Christ. nor Elias,
neither that prophet!
&c John answered them, saying.
| baptize with water: but there
standeth one among you, whom We
know not;
- He ii is, who coming after me
is preferred before me, whose shoe's
latchet | am not worthy to unloose.
IS These things were done i'll
Bethabara beyond Jordan, where
John was baptizing.
30 The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and saith, Behold
the Lamb of God which taketh away
the sin of the world.
80 This is he Of whom / said,
After me cometh a man which Is
preferred before me: for he was be-
fore me.

a colored girl once employed by the
now Identified deceased, testified that
her mistress had owned two such hat
pins.
We searched the house occupied by
the deceased's husband. Fairfax, and
his male companion. Devereaux Fair
fax was unable to give a satisfactory
explanation OF his wife's disappearance
and soon a witness came forth who
testified that she had heard screams
coming from the Fairfax house on a
night approximately about the time
when the woman died.
Evidence rapidly developed from
this point. 1t was finally proved that
the woman had been murdered by
Fairfax and Devereaux and that the
former. in order to throw off suspicion,
had kept up his wife's correspondence
with her relatives in the Middle West ."

"A year later. the attention of the
