'Tli Kind nf Growth I Need In
1SHI1." (Cpli. iv, 1110.)
' BY AMOS R. WELLS.
No ono but a fool makes fun of New
Year's resolutions. They have rescued
many a life from the down-grade land
turned it steadfastly upward. God bices
them, and God help us to make more of
there, and keep them all!
Th;re are flvo New Year's resolutions
wo may well make in this week's En
deavor meeting, flvo kinds of growth we
may determine to seek.
First, let it be planned growth. Most of
us live haphazard lives. "A man," Eays
Dr. Conwell. "Is both soil and seed. Our
lives are vacant lots, and we can choose
the seed wc put in." Most of us let It go
like the vacant lots In a city and allow
our lives to lie open for any seed the winds
inuy sow. Let us 1 wise farmers this
ycar'and plan what we will raise upon our
life lots.
Second, resolve for symmetrical growth.
Well-rounded lives are few. Most of us
are developed only in one direction the
physical, or the social, or the literary, or
perhaps the religious. If we want to grow
on the neglected sides wo must bear in
mind Beecbcr's parable. "If I would have
a tree grow upon the south side." said
Beecher, "I must cut off the branches
tlienj." Severity, strenuous toll, the en
during of hardness will alone throw our
llfe-iiap In the neglected directions and
render our growth more symmetrical.
Third, let us resolve for courageous
growth. Never mind about your failures.
Forget even your sins. Just determine to
grow In spite of them, and they will fall
back before j-onr outreachlng energies.
You have seen dead leaves that 'have ad
hered all winter to tho frozen branches?
Let but the stirrings of spring start the
buds, and they, as they grow, will speedllv
push off the dead leaves. So will It be with
tho "dead body" of your failures, mis
takes and sins. If this new growth once
lakes possesion of your life.
Fourth, resolve for permanent growth.
Onen two architects In New, York, occupy
ing tho same office, were engaged on very
different tasks. One was designing for
Montreal a magnificent Ice palace that
was the wonder and delight of all who
saw It, but melted away a3 soon as the
spring- sun shone upon It. The other was
planning a great Government building- for
tho metropolis, a splendid stone structure
that will endure for many generations.
Which work is your life like? Resolve to
build, this year, out of material that will
last through eternity.
And, most important of all, because It
Includes all, resolve to "grow In Christ"
this year. Growing- up Into his stature,
you will grow symmetrically, and with
design; courageously, and permanently.
Tor he without whom was not anything
made is the power back of all true and
enduring growth. Let us take for our New
Teal's hymn the strong: old words of Lav
atcr: O Jerci Christ, grow thou la me.
Ana all thlncs else recede:
M heart be dally nearer thee.
From sin be dally freed.
.Make till, poor self crow leas ana lew
Be fhou my life and aim:
Cl make me daily, through thy srace
More worthy -of thy name.

For January 10. "The Preaching- of
John the Baptist." (Matt. Ill, 112.)
CONNECTION After the Incident of
Jesus in the temple, studied last week,
eighteen years were passed In obscurity
in the home at Nazareth. No one can
tell, although surmlslngs have been many,
why the inspired penman was silent con
cerning those years. It is quite enough
for us to Know mat tne Holy spirit ata
for us to know that the Holy Spirit did
not wish tis to know what 'transpired.
The sacred writer has Informed us that
the holy child was subject to his mother
and legal father and that he grew In wis
dom, stature and favor. The laws of
growth were observed in tills case as In
the lives of all men. There Is needed a
period of retirement and reflection, dur
ing which one may know himself and
consider the great problems of life. W ltn
out question, Jesus was under the strict
discipline common in those days in Jew
ish homes, and he doubtless learned the
Scriptures, as did every boy, attending
the synagogue for that purpose. At 3y.
the age for introduction to the priesthood,
Jesus was to begin his career.
FOKERUNNEU (Verses 1. 2 and 3.) The
Introduction of Jesus was made by his
own cousin, six months ills senior, known
afterwards as John the Baptist, who
camo as-a. reformer. He selected the
country about Jordan, where he preached
with fervor. His theme was repentance,
the same with which Jesus began his
ministry. (Mark 1. 15.) His call was for
a change of life, the breaking away from
sin, a turning to God. He assigned as a
reason for such change In tho mind and
life of the people that tho kingdom of
heaven, long promised (Dan. ii, 44) and
greatly desired by the people, was at
hand. No argument could have been more
effective, no tidings more acceptable. Dur
ing all tho centuries from the captivity
onward the nation had longed for noth
ing so much as the restoration of the
kingdom as It was under David. Subjec
tion to foreign domination had proved a
bitter experience, from which ull desired
relief. Hence John was welcomed as a
messenger of glad tidings. Moreover, his
appearance was in fulfillment of prophecy,
upon which all laid stress. (Isa. xl, 3.)
Ho exhorted men to prepare for the
King's coming.
HABIT (Verse -) The prophets of
Israel were distinguished not more by
their spirit and work than by their man
ners. Most of them adopted an austere
life, whether by choice as suitable to
their calling, or by direction of the Holy
Spirit, in whose service -they were, does
not matter. That style of living probably
gavc them Influence among the people,
who held them with peculiar reverence.
John tho Baptist, as the last of the Old
Testament prophets, adopted the habit
of the men of his class. His raiment was
of camel's hair, probably a garment made
of the shaggier camel's hair, woven into
a coarse fabric like our drugget, recog
nized as a garb of a prophet. (Zcch.
xll. 4.) In this respect he resembled Elijah
and fulfilled prophecy. (Mai. Iv, 5.) A
leathern girdle held the garment In place.
IHs food was locusts and wild honey, the
former being, not the pods of the locust
tree, as some have thought, but a form
of animal life, eaten In ail parts of the
world which they frequent. The honey
was wild honey stored in trunks of trees
in great abundance.
CONVERTS (Verses 5 and 6.) It Is as
serted that John gained a large hearing
and following. The people from Jerusa
lem in great numbers, from the Province
of Judea in great crowds, and In masses
from tho immediate neighborhood, from
the city and country, cultivated and ig
norant, formed his audience. This might
nave Decn expected. The tneme. tne
Place, the style of the man. all tended to
awaken curiosity and InteresL (Mark 1,
13.) Doubtless many hailed with rejoicing
the appearance of a new prophet, none
having been raised up for four centuries.
It was taken as proof that God was about
to do some good in the nation. Moreover,
the announcement of Messiah's coming
and the call for a better life would awak
en the sympathy of all the godly, who are
most influential In every community. The
hearers became converts. , They con
fessed and forsook their sins. They
were baptized in Jordan (by what mode
let the theologians describe), and thus
they formed a congregation with tho fore
most preacher of the time as a spiritual
head. (Matt. lx. 14.)
REBUKQ-fVcrses 7 and 8.) John the
Baptist exercised his ministry In the
Wilderness; that is. In the rural tections
of Judea. Two motives may have in
fluenced the choice of a place. He de
sired to be free from all alliance with the
hierarchy, then Intolerant and worldly,
yet near enough to Influence the national
capital. Vast crowds were attracted to
him by his preaching. The Pharisees
and Sadducees, the two rival sect3, sent
representatives. The former were rigid
followers or the Mosaic ritual (Acts xxvl,
6). priding themselves on their piety. The
latter were materialists, seeking to sub
stitute philosophical speculations for the
letter of Scriptures. These men. who had
met in heated discussion, stood to hear
the great Redeemer as he preached re
pentance. TVlth Incomparable boldness he
denounced them all as a generation of
vipers. They, who had divided tho nation
into factions and had been diligent in
gaining followers, were urged to change
their lives. Such a stinging rebuke was
never before administered to the public
teachers of religion.
DESCENT (Verse 9). John did not
pausj with a denunciation of unrighteous
ness and a call tn ho'.v llvlnir. H pro
ceeded to show why these officials of the
church were Indifferent to the claims of
God upon them, revealing a national secret-
Tho Jews were descendants of Abra
ham. They were proud of their origin. As
children of the covenant they considered
themselves the favorites of heaven and
despised the rest of mankind as dogs. To
them blood was everything. As a conse
quence they sought to maintain those in
stitutions whose outward observance dis
tinguished them from other peoples. The
rite of circumcision, the keeping of the
Sabbath and such like matters were re
tained as mementos of an early day and
marks of superior dignity. All this time
their lives were impure and their hearts
Improper. So John announces that they
must not longer regard their descent. t or
God was able to raise up a new people, an
admonition repeated by the Savior him
self. JUDGMENT-CVerse 10.) John saw
what the public men of his time could not
see because of their spiritual blindness,
that the divine patience toward the Jewish
nation was well-nigh exhausted. All
through the centuries, even from the time
of the Exodus, they had been a stiff
necked and rebellious people. (Ex. xxxli.
9.) He had sent unto them prophets who
had taught and entreated and warned
(Jer. vll. 23), but they hud disregarded the
voice of these holy men. Now the judg
ments of God wero impending. The ax
was laid at the root of the trees, ready
to be used when the prober moment came.
Every person and institution that does
not bring forth righteousness shall be
hewn down and thrown Into the fire. The
figure here Is of a Lord who delivers his
vineyard from worthless bushes. The
same mode of Illustration was used by the
Savior more than once. There is undoubt
ed reference to that terrible day when the
army of Titus destroyed Jerusalem and
broke up the Jewish state. A. D. TO.
PREDICTION-(Verscs 11 and 12.) Hav
ing thus rebuked and warned his hearers,
the gr;at preacher opens to them vision
of one who would succeed him, whom he
came to Introduce. (John i, 7.) Concern
ing that coming one John makes three re
marks, designed to give exalted concep
tions of him. First. In power, dignity and
authority he was so much superior to the
reformer that the latter was not worthy
to perform the lowest menial service to
him. Second, he would render a more Im
portant service, not like John, baptizing
with water as a symbol of forgiveness or
cleansing after repentance, but with the
Holy Ghost, the symbol and agent of a
new life Imparted to the soul, not an out
ward application, but an Inward energy.
Third, the method of his administration
would be new and exacting. As the hus
bandman purifies the thrashing floor,
saves the wheat and burns the chaff, so
this great person would cleanse the church
and require holiness of its members. It
Is plain to us, and must have been to
those who heard, that John referred to the
Messiah and to the better day to be
ushered in under him.
REFLECTIONS Two prominent points

measured by his relation to Christ. While,

of men. accounted great.have lived,
struggled and died, to bo forgotten. But
he who nreached righteousness and pro
claimed Messiah was greater than all' who
preceded him. The life devoted to Christ
Is one of immortal honor. 2. See here the
Interdependence of persons and events.
The Lord Jesus did not begin his career
without reference to others. He did not
undertake his mission Independently, but
he Identified himself with the foremost
fireacher and reformer of the age. Thus

among the disciples of John. This Is not
evolution but continuity. . The kingdom
of heaven sweeps on through the centu
ries, one worker beginning where another
ends-. (John iv, 2S.)
