BRITISH SEND WARSHIPS
TO TROUBLE ZONE

Shanghai, July 13.-British war
ships sped toward trouble points
along the China coast in anticipation
of new incidents in the series which
have created serious British-Japa-
nese tension.
The 1,375-ton destroyer Diamond
was en- route to Tsingtao, where Bri-
tish officials professed to fear fur
ther demonstrations like that of Mon
day in which the British consulate
and British Hongkong and Shanghai
bank buildings were stoned and dam
aged.
Britons said the demonstration by
men in Chinese garb, was Japanese
inspired. The consul protested to the
Japanese authorities who have been
masters of Tsingtao, chief Shantung
province port, since its capture jan
uary 10, 1888
Today British consular officials
notified Japanese authorities that
they had information that similar
demonstrations were being prepared
for Friday and Saturday and asked
for japanese military protection. The
notification said the Japanese would
be 'held responsible for any dam
age"
The British took similar precau-
tions before Mondays attack, but
japanese military patrols watched
the march on the consulate and made
no move to intervene.
Britain and Japan have agreed to
seek a settlement Of their Tientsin
dispute at conference in Tokyo, but
its opening has been delayed. Japa-
nese army spokesmen in China and
Japan have declared they had little
hopes of settlement, which they
said must be based on British agree
ment to "co-operate" with Japan's
program for establishment of "a new

John the Baptist, who is the sub
ject Of today's lesson, is a unique
character in the chronicle Of the
Bible. When he began preaching
some thought him the Messiah, but
he said. 'No, | am not the Christ"
And they asked him. "What then?
Art thou Ellias?" And he said II am
not" cart thou that prophet" Ano
he answered, mo"
Then they asked, "Who art thou?''
And John said, II am the voice of
one crying in the wilderness. Make
straight the way Of the Lord, as said
the prophet Elias
/ Further John said: II baptize with
water but there standeth one among
you, whom ye know not. He it is,
who coming after me is preferred
before me, whose shoes latchet I am
not worthy to unloose."
Like the prophets Of the Old Tesla
ment John the Baptist dared tell
those in power Of their sins. The
common people loved him and fol-
lowed him out Of Jerusalem to the
east shore of the Jordan river, and
he baptized them therein. The Phari-
sees and Sadducees also came to him
to be baptized, and when he saw
them he called them names and told
them to repent, for although they
were the sons Of Abraham they could
not be saved except they did what
was right
Fulfillment of Prophecy.
John was said to be the fulfill
ment of an old prophecy in which
the Lord said: "Behold l will send
my messenger, and he shall prepare
the way before me-" (Malachi 3:1.)
Jesus came to John and asked to
be baptized. John was reluctant, say
ing, Il have need to be baptized by
Thee, and contest Thou to me?"
Jesus answered, ''Suffer it to be SO
now: for thus it becometh us to full
fill all Righteousness" So John bap-
tized Christ
'And Jesus, when He was baptized,
went up straightWay out Of the
water, and 10, the heavens opened
unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove, and
lighting upon Him: And 10, voice
from heaven, saying: "This is my
Beloved Son, in whom 1 am we'll
pleased"
Baptism as given by John meant
that the person baptized repented of
his sins and would henceforth live
a good life. John could see no reason
why Jesus would need baptism, as
He had no sins to repent.
We do not know, either, why
Jesus felt He must be baptized by
John, but it is sufficient that He did.
After His baptism and the voice, the
account says the Spirit drove Him
into the wilderness, where He stayed
for 40 days and was tempted by
Satan: and was with wild beasts. But
the angels ministered to Him.
