Emb Baptism

Embarrassing Baptism
The reason for tho churchs pc
culiar silence about this great day
is perhaps that we are embarrassed
BY one thing that took place then:
Jesus was baptized. This baptism
OF Johns was distinctly understood
to be baptism "of repentance, for
the remission IforgivenessJ OF
sins" But what sins did Jesus com
nit? How could he need forgive
ness The church finds 1t easy to
understand the SPIRITS coming; the
Voice from Heaven may be harder
to understand. but it "lts" what
we believe. But the baptism does
not appear to At. II looks as II
either Jesus was a sinner after all,
and confessed his sins in being bap-
tized; or else he was making people
believe he had sinned-which of
course would be sin in itself.
This Is indeed a puzzle, but we
may be able to find an answer. Let
US be bold enough to rule out three
possibilities at once.
Jesus was not baptized in order
to have his own sins forgiven. The
church Is surely right in affirming
that Jesus lived without blemish,
the one perfect man in history.
Jesus was not baptized to fulnll
the Old Testament law; for no law
IN the various codes Of the Old
Testament requires All men to be
baptized. Fulfilling all righteous
ness" is not tho same thing as
obeying a specific law.
Further. Jesus was not baptized
as il he were playing a part, en-
couraging others to do as he did
a perfectly healthy mother will
sometimes encourage timid child
to take medicine by first taking
some herself. Is Jesus our consid-
crate Elder Brother who takes a
cure he does not need, in order
TO coax us to take it because we
do need it?

Nick is pushing toward 81 these days

the Senators, and with his retirement,
baseball lost perhaps its all-time great
comedian. Nick's solo act waS-and still
could be-tremendous. When teamed with
Al Schacht, as he was for so very many
years, Altrock was even funnier.
These days Nick warns his bones in
Florida during the winter and comes north

Griffith Stadium. His biggest season as a
pitcher was 1906 although he was 21-10
pitcher in 05), but in 'O6 he won 20 games
for the White Sox-the 'Hitless Wonders
and in the World Series with the Cubs,
he was heroic. Especially when he beat

That was the cagey southpaw's last
great season and by 1911 he was looking

Grifnth, although having troubles of
his own, and on trial in the Nations
