SUPREME COURT MAY
HOLD ON TO BRANDT
Fofrner Valet’s Legal Status

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

An advertisement of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, which I saw in the St.

duced me to give your remedy a fair
trial. I was then suffering from ter
rible pains in the small of my back.
The pain was usually greatest during
the morning, and often when I attempt

I found I could not do so without the
assistance of some member of my fam

your great remedy has done for me.
I thought I would have to use much
more Swamp-Root than I did, In order
to get well, but am absolutely cured of
my kidney trouble and now without the
slightest* pain, after using only seven
bottles. Was cured about six months
ago, and though I do heavy work in the
shop where I have been employed for
the past 44 years, have had no recur
rence of the trouble or pain in the
slightest degree.
I am doubly thankful for this, and
while now an old man, I again feel the

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

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.,

"Where’s Burns?” a rough voice de

Mrs. Burns pushed the door closed and
latched it. Enraged by disappointment
one of the men outside put his revol

they fled. The police found no clue to
their identity.

JOHN’S PROPHECY.
The great work accomplished py John
set the people talking. 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! This
great life may be yotrs. Necessary for
it are solitude with God, burning up
for God, plain dealing with men, and
true humility. How do you measure
up?

of orgariizaing a commercial body for the
entire south Georgia section was brought
before the meeting. Mr. Greer’s resolu
tion on motion of Col. J. W. Walters,
[ Sr., of Albany, was referred to a com
. mittee of five with instructions to re
' port at the afternoon session any recom
. mendations they might see fit to make
. tn regard to its subject matter.
