acles as implicit proof Of His

some miracles just for the oc-
casion. Jesus said: Go and re.
port to John what you have
heard and seen: the blind see,
the lame walk, the lepers are

dead rise, the poor have the
Gospel preached to them"
"As the messengers we're
leaving, Christ gave John his
final mead of praise: "Amen

born of women there has not
risen a greater than John the
Baptist" If John or his dis
ciples needed any more proof,
this must have been enough.
But the proclamation Of mes

bell-like clarity, this John was
denied.
JOHN THE BAPTIST was
more of a hero than we sus-

able and he knew it. He saw
his situation clearly, agreed
to accept the role, and bowed
his head in humility before
the divine command. He died

woman, a total failure in the

Last of the Prophets

ers complained Of the popu-
larity Of Jesus, John said
bluntly that he was to de-
crease while Christ was to i'm
crease. He said he was not
worthy to unite the sandals of
Christ. When our Lord came
to be baptized by John, it took
some convincing by Him be-
fore John could be persuaded
to perform that symbolic act.
TWO or THE APOSTLES
were sent directly by John to
Christ; they had been follow
ers of the Baptist. These two
Apostles were John and An
drew. It was Andrew who in
troduced his brother, Peter,
soon to become the first pope,
to Christ. So in addition to
his other laurels, John the
Baptist was a top-notch scout
and recruiter of vacations for
his Master.
Toward the end of his time,
John denounced King Herod
for living in adultery with his
brothers wife, Herodias. AS
his reward for publicizing this
embarrassing fact, John was
clapped into prison. That was
not enough for Herodias. She
knew John was her enemy
and would not rest until she
had his head.
BEFORE HIS EXECUTION,
John sent two of his disciples
to ask Jesus if He was really
the Messias. We do not think
Johns faith was waning at all,
but he probably wanted Christ
to make a definitive state
ment and thereby settle the
question in the minds of his
personal followers.
However, it was not Christ's
plan to make a declaration at
this time. Most of the Jews
were expecting a mil t
messias who would deliver
them by fire and sword from
the bondage of the hated
Romans. Christ was hard at
work chipping away at this
petrified error: He planned to
reveal His spiritual messias-
ship only gradually. Even
with His precursor in prison
and soon to be beheaded, Je-
sus could not give this friend
and kinsman the satisfaction
of a definite answer.

mas Every Christmas, Bruce
Publishing Co..
John the Baptist was
a strangely wonderful and
mysterious character. A
kinsman of Christ, his
entire life was spent in
close connection with the
Goodman. He was a highly
privileged person over whom
Christ shed some of His own
mystery and magic.
SEVERAL STRIKING paral-
lels between the life of Jesus
and John the Baptist suggest
themselves: the same angel
announces their births, both
are born without original sin,
both live a secluded life in
preparation for public ca
reers, both preach penance,
both are executed because
they incite the wrath of those
rightfully condemned.
The father of John the Bap-
fist was Zachary; his mother,
Elizabeth. They had grown old
without having children and,
like any Jewish couple of that
time, they bore their stigma
with heavy disappointment.
Zachary was a priest and one
day when he was offering in
cense in the Temple the arch
angel Gabriel appeared to
him and said he would yet
have a son. Moreover, this son
was to become someone quite
special, he was to be the fore
runner and precursor OF the
Messias.
UNFORTUNATELY, Zach
airy made the mistake Of ask
ing for a sign to confirm the
authenticity of the angels
message. Did he really doubt
the angels word? Or, in re-
questing verification, was he
merely acting as other good
men, such as Abraham and
Moses, had acted in similar
circumS t ances? We don't
know what Zachary's motives
were, but we know that he
got a sign all right, and one
that literally left him speech
less. Zachary was struck
dumb for more than nine
months until his son was
born.

ersl magazines and he was

From the beginning, this
child of Zachary and Eliza
beth was extraordinary. When
Mary came to visit her cous-
in Elizabeth, John the Baptist
leapt in his mothers womb
when he recognized the I'M
born Christ.
JOHN WAS Sanctified while
still in the womb and so was
born without original sin
although he was not conceiv-
ed without original sin. Most
of his young manhood he
spent in solitude in the des-
ert, preparing by prayer and
modification for his great vo-
cation. He lived a most aus
tere life, wearing a crude
garb common to the nomadic
shepherds "a rough cloak of
camel skim and eating locustS
and wild honey.
About six months before
our Lord appeared in public,
John began to preach. He had
one theme: Repent, change
your way of thinking, for the
kingdom of God is at hand.
Unlike the previous false
prophets, Johns preaching
was so sincere and had such
a strong moral tone that he
attracted a large audience
enough, at least, to incur the
jealousy of the Pharisees.
I'M SPITE of his popularity,
there never was any doubt in
Johns mind about his func-
ton. He knew that he was
simply the man chosen by
God to introduce the Messias.
He described himself as a
voice crying in the wilder
ness, one who was to come
before the Messias to make
the rough ways smooth for
Him, make straight His paths.

 The performance was a superb concert by a group of talented and exceptionally well trained musi- clans under the direction of con- ductor who has given great thought to precision, balance and tone blending in a concert band.
 The program itself was a type to appeal to all listeners, and yet not strictly a pop" concert. Fea- tured was the music of Rimsky- KorsakoV and Richard Wagner, and stirring band numbers from old and new composers.
 The group had the large audi ence attending in their collective palms with the opening number, the Introduction and Wedding March from "The Golden Cock erel," by RimSky-Korsakov. Later in the program they played Con certo for Trombone" and the Polonaise from Christmas Night" by the same composer.

The Weatherman has been deal ing out some bad hands weather wise in June, with few brilliant ones in between. The outlook for July is a little better, according to the U. S. Fleet Weather Central climatology summary for the past year
 Should July, 1860 follow the pat tern of July, 1859 there will be a few fairly hot days, quite a few wet days, and temperatures that won't cause you to suffer unduly from the heat. The average daily maximum temperature was 58.7 degrees; average minimum was 49.1. The average total rain was 3.76 inches; and the average num- Der of days with 01 inches or more was 14.01.

Turkish Chiefs
 Start Arrests to Drown Politics
By WEBB MCKINLEY

ANKARA, Turkey, R The revolutionary government moved yesterday to stamp out political activity in Turkey with scattered arrests
 The roundup followed the sui eide of Namik Gedik, former In- terior Minister who, as director of police, was one of the most hated members of busted Premier Adnan Menderes' regime.
 The arrests were believed di- rected against attempts to stir Menderes' old Democratic Party back to life following last Fridays military coup.
 After its first formal meeting Monday, the provisional cabinet announced it was banning "for the time being all partly activities with the aim of preventing all dis cussions and struggles between brothers which might create angry incidents"
 There were unconfirmed re- ports that some were hoping to organize an attempt to free Menderes.

Alaska Tidelands Not Affected by
 New Rule -- Moody

JUNEAU, R - The Supreme Court decisions involving oil rights in submerged lands of the Gulf of Mexico off the states of Texas Florida, Louisiana, Missis- sippi and Alabama will have no immediate bearing on Alaska tidal land questions, the State Attorney General said yesterday.
 Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody said Alaska's right to lease revenue from offshore submerged lands was limited to three miles by the Statehood Act.
 Moody said the law under which Alaska was admitted to the Union set out that the Submerged Lands Act of 1853 was applicable to the new state - limiting Alaska to property rights to three miles off shore.
 The Sureme Court, in split de- cisions, held the rights of Texas and Florida extended to 1O.45 miles. The three other states in- volved in the case were limited to claims up to three miles offshore.
