John Prepares the Way for Jesu

John Prepares the Way for Jesus,
Mark 1:1-11, for Sunday, Jan. 1:
Mark is referred to in the Acts as
John Mark; he lived in Jerusalem,
and was the son of the Mary who
gave the upper room for the Last
Supper; he was a cousin of Bar
nabas and Travelled with Paul in his
first missionary journey.
v. 1. .sThe beginning of the gos-
pei of Jesus Christ, the Son of God"
The purpose of Marks writing is
found in the first verse, namely the
good news that Jesus of Nazareth
was the prophesied Messiah, the in
carnate Son of God, God manifest
in the flesh, living with his crea-
lures and dying to redeem them.
VS.. 2, 8. even as it is written
in Isaiah the prophet, Behold,
send my messenger before thy face,
who shall prepare thy way; the
voice of one crying in the wilder
ness, make We ready the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight"
Mark uses the Old Testament proph-
ecy as a fitting background to in
troduce John the Baptist who will
do in spiritual way what had been
done in a physical way for the COM
ing of some notable parsonage.
v. A.. "John came, who baptized
in the wilderness and preached the
baptism of repentance unto remis-
sion of sins.'' John who became a
spiritual power as result of life
Of solitude in the desert, in close
communion with God, entered into
life Of service with message that
stirred his hearers to repentance,
and who became witnesses to the
work of grace by being baptized.
Baptism had been practiced pre-
viously in the case of Gentiles con-
verted to the Hebrew faith; John
takes this practice and turns it into
Christian ordinance. So effective
was his preaching that "there went
unto Him the country of Judea and
all they of Jerusalem"
v. s. "Confessing their SINS" A
great revival of religion with a work.
able program follows when a large
number really confess their sins. If
one answer was given to what is
wrong with the church, it would be
found in the fact that not enough
emphasis is placed on sin as hid
eous thing, and the need Of confess
ing sin openly without regard to
class.
v. s.. "And John was clothed
with camel's hair and had ieath-
ern girdle about his loins-and did

Ralph Andrew Koch

Ralph Andrew Koch, son of Will
liam and Lora Spencer Koch, was
born Aug. IA, 1915, and died Dec.
IA, 1882, at the age of II years,
four months, his entire life being
spent at the family home with his
parents in GAINESVILLE At an early
age he gave his heart to God and
became member of Trinity M. E.
church. He was also a senior in
Lash high school. He was a ia
vorite among his schoolmates, al
ways ready to lend willing hand
wherever needed He leaves to
mourn their loss, besides his par
ents, a sister Emma of the home:
his paternal grandmother, Mrs.
Caroline Cacherel of GAINESVILLE:
and his maternal grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Spencer, near Malta,
besides host of relatives and
friends. Xxx.

eat locusts and wild honey" We
would be better off if we lived a
simple life Few things are better
worth learning than the art of do
ing without things
" Z. "And he preached saying,
There cometh after me He that is
mightier than /, the latchet of
whose shoes I am not worthy to
stoop down and unloose" If John
had been an ambitious, conceited
man, he would have rested on his
fame. His greatness was in his
humility Usually the man who first
draws attention to creative genius
is noted genius who is big enough
to see the tall height of his con-
temporary y.-Rollin Walker.
". 8. 'I baptized you in water;
but He shall baptize you in the Holy
Spirit" The Messiah would act on
spirit with Spirit: He would pro-
vide plan to purify life and to en-
power it for service through the
Holy Ghost.
v. 9. "And it came to pass in
those days, that Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee and was bap-
tized of John in the Jordan"
Johns baptism was not only the
baptism of repentance; but a rite of
dedication. It was in this latter
sense that Jesus received baptism.
VS.. 10, IL. "And straightway
coming up out Of the water, he saw
the heavens rent asunder and the
Spirit like a dove descending upon
him; and a voice came out of the
heavens, Thou art my beloved Son,
in Thee I am we'll pleased" The
divine Sonship of Jesus was here
attested. Heavens reinforcement
came to earth as the Spirit descend
ed upon Jesus who later promised
Him to his believers. 4

OF what value is the ordinance of
baptism?
What two proofs of Christ's
deity came at His baptism?
What is the secret of preachers
power?
What are some points of good
sermon?
Glorious says: "Sinful moods and
motives, passions and pursuits, are
obstructive of and antagonistic to
the presence of Christ in the heart,
and must go out before He can come
in. Repentance prepares the way
for Christ's coming into life."
Lesson Prayer: Help us to such
a profound repentance, such a godly
sorrow for sin, that we may expert
ence a knowledge of the remission
of sins and a peace of mind that at
tests to life acceptable to Cod"

SEED-FERTILIZER LOANS
AVAILABLE FOR FARMERS
Mortgage on 1882 Crop Required
as Security by Government

Loans for the purchase of seed and
fertilizer will be made to Garrett
county farmers through the United
States Department of Agriculture, &C.
cording to John H. Carter, county
agent. AS security for the loans the
government requires first mortgage
on the 1882 crop produced by the bor-
rowers.
No loan in excess of $400 will be
made to any one applicant. AS much
as $500 per acre can be borrowed,
and on truck crops and potatoes as
much as $1,000 per acre can be Sc
cured for crop production. Also loans
can be had for the purchase of spray
material for truck crops and produc-
ing orchards.
No loans will be made to an appli-
cant who has other means Of liveli-
hood than that of farming. Neither
will a loan be made to farmer who
did not farm in 1881.
Those who secured loans last year
and have not paid this year can OBJ
tain a loan providing they have used
the previous loan for the purpose for
which it was granted; that they made
a diligent effort to properly tend their
crop and that they applied the pro-
ceeds of all cash crops to the payment
of their Federal seed loans. An ad-
ditional mortgage must be given on
the 1882 crop to secure the 1881 loan
before an additional loan can be ne
gotiated.
County Agent John H. Carter states
that all applications must be made
through his Office, third floor, Court
House, Oakland. The farmer will
make application to the United States
Department of Agriculture, subject
to their approval, and when approved
a check will be mailed to the appli-
cant.
No loans will be made after April
25. The county committee in charge
of the Federal seed loan includes c. A.
Ashby, Deer Park, chairman; H. P.
Miller, Grantsville; Paul Friend and
Delbert Davis, Oakland.
Five applications for loans have
been filed with the county agent thus
far this year.

Prohibition Agents COnfiscate
Plant and Arrest Four Men

Steve Kopen, Gus Marrass, Harry
NJ. Reall and U. R. Cooper, all of the
Red Oak community of Garrett coun-
ty, were arrested Tuesday afternoon
by Federal Agents William R. Har-
vey and Leon Poore.
The men were brought to Oakland
and given in charge of Sheriff Wal
ter H. Haenftling, and later were ac-
corded hearing before Justice w. A.
Gender. All were held under $500
bond for their appearance at the Sep
TENDER Term of the Circuit Court, and
all with the exception of Kopen were
able to give bond. In default he is

making a livelihood aside from farm
ing in small way.

Families in Oakland District
Still Recurring Assistance

A check-up has been made and it is
found that there are persons who are
still in dire need of staple food pro-
ducts, therefore it will be necessary
for the local relief committee to carry
on for several weeks longer. The
citizens of this community and dis
trict have already been generous in
their support and only through their
cooperation has the work been car
ried on throughout the winter.
At present the funds in the treasury
of the relief committee have reached
the vanishing point. If there are any
individuals who still feel that they
can make a cash donation to this
fund, or if there are any living within
the town of Oakland or in the country
who can possibly donate supplies, such
as potatoes, flour, beans and canned
goods, the committee urgently re-
quests them to make every effort to
do so.
This winter the committee helped
80 families, or a total of 600 individ.
uals.

Forest Control Organization
Prepared for Peak Conditions

The State Forestry Department to-
day announced placing all available
forces on duty in readiness for the
years most severe period of forest
fires. The remaining lookout towers
in Garrett county, near Bittinger and
Thayerville and on Shaggy Mountain,
