2 SUPREME COURT MAY HOLD ON TO BRANDT Fofrner Valet’s Legal Status at Present Is Rather Com plicated r ßy Aaaociated Press.) NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-The grand jury Was prepared today to inaugurate a spe cial inquiry into the case of Folks E. Urandt to determine whether the former valet of Mortimer L. Schiff, the banker, was sent to prison for 30 years for bur glary in the first degree as a result of conspiracy. District Attorney Whitman is said to have evidence which he de sires to bring before the grand jury, I and that this investigation would be in dependent of any inquiry made by Jus tice Gerard, who has been appointed commissioner by Governor Dix to conduct r a hearing on an application for ex ecutive clemency in the Brandt case. A full airing in the Brandt case will be had at the hearing held by Justice B Gerard, as the statute gives him power to subpena any and all persons and to c cause the production of any books and papers. Counsel for Mortimer Schiff has t tnade it plain that his client desires an opportunity that the case may be sifted t s to the bottom in order that "false and Infamous scandal" may be shown to be untrue Judge Rosalsky s order yesterday set tin* aside the verdict in the Brandt case | And ordering that the prisoner be brought before the court this afternoon for plead ing to the original Indictments against him. probably will come to nothing, in i'. Umuch as it is likely that Justice Gerard will issue a prohibitory order hgainst taking Brandt out of the custody as the supreme court to the court of P general sessions.

Golden Text—"Mopent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” During the hidden years at Nazareth Jesus plied His trade as a carpenter, helping in, if not wholly undertaking, the support of the family of His widow ed mother. All this while He was in preparation for the work for which He had come into the world. JOHN'S PREPARATION. At the same time another man was in preparation, too. His cousin, whose birth had created such a sensation in the hill country a few months before that of Jesus, had grown up to man hood, and was rather queer, as other men go. Instead of going into the priest hood, as his father had done, he took upon himself a perpetual Nazarite’s vow. He seemed to be, in away, out of sym pathy with the times, and gradually withdrew from the company of other men. He was of a meditative mood, and finally withdrew from the city entirely. His home came thus to be the Wilder ness, a desolate country in the Jordan valley and southward. Here away from the habitat of men, he completed his preparation, for we must not think that John spent all of his life away from other men. In the city he had learned early, at his mother’s knee, the law and the prophets; he had had implanted in his Pimples Removed Quickly "The New Calcium Sulphide Treat* meat Does Wonders to Every Kind of Skin Eruption.

Write him immediately. breast the Messianic hope; he had learn ed the strange events connected with his own birth: he had become acquaint ed with the ritualistic unrealities of the leaders of the people; he aad seen the graft of the publicans, the hard-heart edness of the people toward each other, the overbearing attitude of the soldiers, and other sins of the people. Now in the solitude of the Wilderness, he com pleted his preparation by communion with God, seeing all these things in their true relationships. This latter would have been scarcely possible had he remained in the midst of them. It was necessary to get away from them to get the true perspective. But as he saw them now, he realized that these must be righted if the way wm to be prepared for the Messiah’s kingdom. Did you ever think of the number of leaders who have been prepared in this way for their work, by getting apart with Go!? Think for a moment of just a few of them-*Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Elijah. David, John, Paul. Some were in the wilderness, some were among other people, but all were in fellowship with God away from their work, get ting a spiritual perspective. Have you ever spent time thus? Or rather have you ever saved time thus? It is an investment you cannot afford not to make. JOHN’S PREACHING. It was in A. D. 26, as we learn from a comparison of Luke’s minutely ac curate statement with secular history, chat John burst forth. The solitude in the wilderness had filled him to the point of bursting. As he contemplated the sin of the people, and their need for a change before thdy could enter into the kingdom of the Messiah, he could not keep quiet longer. There could have been no collusion between him and his cousin the Nazarene Carpenter, for they were widely separated, and had been all their lives. Ha undoultedly knew of the strange events at His birth, too, how ever, and thus knew that it was about time fore Him to begin any public work that He was to do. Join might have gone to the cities, but he chose rather another plan. I rather think it was true that he began with the firs man he saw, and go so busy there in the pountry he did not get time to go to the city before the city came to him. The very strangeness of his appearance and his message aroused the keenest Interest immediately, and gave him a hearing at once. He had no city appearance at all; he looked the simple life he had led. His appearance and simple direct manner made someone think of Elijah the prophet; this sur mise was told to another, and soon the rumor spread. Curiosity brought many to see him, and soon he was the talk of the hill country of Judea and even into Galilee. Throngs of people from all over the kingdom camo to see and to hear him. And this was the message they all heard —“Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” While the first startled them, the sec ond part of the message interested them. They were anxious to get rid of Rome, and the announcement that the kingdom of heaven is imminent aroused the keen est interest in their hearts. They were not conscious of sin until his ringing cry, Repent ye, brought them to their senses. To turn their course (for this is what the word implies) puzzled them. They thought they were going in the right direction; if they were not, they were at a loss to know which way to turn. Especially was this true when the rulers camo out. Suc.li a sensation had been created lhat the dignitaries of the church left Jerusalem to go out and see what was coing on ini ths Jordan valley. As they came up, this strange preacher accosted them, “O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” (He had thought of the dangerous and subtle serpents that lived in the wilderness and who were driven cut by the approaching fires), John knew how dangerous and subtle these leaders were, and how nothing could drive them out but their own selfish desire for safety. Ir.st ;ad of resenting his plain accusations, they were silent. None of them wore among John’s disciples, so far as we know. The people, however, wanted to know which way to turn if they 1 ad to turn. What shall we do? they asked. John’s ansewr was very direct. To the people he said, Treat your iieighbois nquarely; show them that you love them as broth ers by treating them as brothers. To the publicans, be said, stop y >ur graft: deal honestly with the people from whom you are collecting taxes. To the soldiers he said, do not use your power for treat ing those under your power with injus tice, and be content with your wages (a strike was imminent at that time). These answers snowed that John was acquainted with the conditions under which men were living, and that he was eminently practical. These are the burn ing issues of the day today. The church must hear, must repent, must change the direction of the vessel. Brotherly love must be demonstrated, otherwise it does not exist. Each man must give the other a square deal, be cause he is Christ’s man. In China graft is one of the causes of the revolution. The publicans were infants compared to the graft of the Chinese officials. In China they call it squeezing. A missionary recently asked a young person in school to tell what she knew about John the Baptist. She replied: “He taught the people to love without squeezing!” It is the influence., YOUNG WOMAN IS SHOT THROUGH CLOSED DOOR New York Burglars -Fire at Mrs. John Burns through Keyhole (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Feb. 14. —While hold ing the door of her 43rd street apart ment against three would-be burglars who were trying to force their way into her home at 1 o'clock this morn ing Mrs. John Burns was shot twice, both bullets narrowly missing her heart. She was taken to a hospital in a serious condition. Mrs. Burns, who is 23 years old, an swered a ring at the door and opened it slightly thinking It was her bus band returning from his club. ’ "Where’s Burns?” a rough voice de manded. ’ The tone was so threatening that? Mrs. Burns pushed the door closed and latched it. Enraged by disappointment one of the men outside put his revol ver to the keyhole and fired twice. The sound of the woman’s falling body frightened the ruffians outside and they fled. The police found no clue to their identity. F. E. B. We heard a man say the other morn ing that the abbreviation for February- Feb.—means Freeze every body, and that mah looked frozen in his ulster. It was apparent that he needed the kind of warmth that stays, the warmth that reaches from head to foot, all over the body. We could have told him from per sonal knowledge that Hood’s Sarsaparil la gives permanent jwarmth, •it invigor ates the blood and speeds It along through artery and vein, and really fits men and women, boys and girls, to en joy cold weather and resist the at tacks of disease.

Was he not pos sibly the Messiah for whom they were looking? It was a great chance for temptation. One word from John might have brought the whole kingdom at his feet, and given him the most prominent place in the nation—for a time. |But John refused what a less scrupulous man would have accepted—the homage of the people. Instead he prophesied that there was soon to appear the real Messiah who was so far superioi' to him that he was not worthy to per form the most menial service for Him. He pointed them upward aud onward to Jesus. What a great life was John’s—blaz ing away, straightening out the paths, repairing the bridges, smoothing up the ditches and ruts in the road, making ready for the advance of the King, and getting out of the way when the King came that none of the glory which was His might b« taken by another!
