Petrograd admits that the Russians along the line of the Putna and Se reth rivers have fallen back but says the maneuver was carried out without hindrance. A slight retreat on the Kassina river by the Russians also is recorded by Petrograd, but it is as serted that, south of the Oituz river and near Rekoza, on the Suchitza riv er, attacks by the troops of the com tral • powers were repulsed. There is still vigorous fighting go ing on in northern Russia in the region of Riga.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 14 JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS, LESSON TEXT-John 1:19-34. GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, the lamb of God that takoth away the sin of the world.—John 1:29. John began Ills public ministry in the summer of A. D. 26 and the baptism of Jesus probably took pluce in January, A; D. 27. The delegation from Jerusa lem to interview John must have ap peared along toward the latter part of Februury. I. John the Witness (vv. 15-18). John’s ministry created great excite ment. • The people were in expectancy. All classes were reasoning as to who this strange but marvelously forceful man might be. Some thought perhaps he was the Christ (Luke 3:15). To settle this question a committee was sent to Jerusalem to investigate. Malaclii, the prophet, has suggested the coming of Elijah (Mai. 4:5) before the Messiah should come, and another prophecy indicated that the prophet should be like unto Moses (Deut. 1S:1G-1S). John freely confesses to tills delegation that he is not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet pre dicted by Moses. How foolish and silly are those modern ones who pro fess to be the messenger of the cov enant or some other fanciful title, in dicating the return of the witness which is to precede the coming of Christ. John exercises humility in the way he states his real position though he does apply to himself the prophecy of Isuinh (Isa. 40:3-5) which sets forth what his mission was to be. A voice can be heard but not seen. With our bodily eyes we never see a spirit. No man ever saw the soul of his nearest friend. We do see God, however, in his works, in his marvelous deliver ances and his guidance of the world and his answers to prayer. II. John the Baptizer (vv. 19-29). As John had denied that he was the Christ or Elijah, the priests and Lev- ites made bold to question his author ity at a later time (Matt. 21-23), and still later the authority of the apos tles and the priests (Acts 5:28). John answers them with another display of his humility. Ills baptism in wuter was nothing to the baptism of the coming one (See Matt. 3:11; Acts 1:5j. Though Christ was in their midst, they were blind and did not recognize him. (See vv. 19, 11; ch. 8:19; 16:3). John’s baptism of repentance denotes a baptism which a penitent submitted to that he might receive the pledge and assurance that his sins were for given. Baptism meant the cleansing of the people from past sins that they might be fitted for entrance into tiie kingdom. Baptism is not conversion, lt is a witnessing and a symbol' of a spiritual truth that we are dead unto sin, and have risen to newness of life (Rom. 6:3-5). Like John, our voice must be not only that of humility but it must be really a voice with a mes sage from God, one that sounds an un mistakable note, one that can be heard wherever we go, one that will make men happier, stronger, braver, more like God, to prepare the way for Christ in the hearts of men. III. The Witness of the Spirit (vv. 28-34). The writer is very explicit, stating the exact time that these things occurred, for he was an eye witness. John first testifies that Jesus was the Lamb of God, referring of course to the sacrificial lamb, the atoning sacri fice of the Old Testament (Gen. 22:7-S; Ex. 12:3; Isa. 53:7). As the Lamb of God, Jesus would take away the sins of the world; thus the thought is pri marily that of atonement, a substitu tion of another and the deliverance from the guilt of sin. The next (lay after John’s witness to the delegation from Jerusalem, he saw Jesus coming Unto him, and said to the assembled people, “Behold the Lamb of God.” This refers not so much to his charac ter, that of innocence, meekness and patience, as to his office, his completed, work of atonement by the sacrificial deuth wherein he takes away the sins of the world. On the ground of the propitiation for sin which Jesus wrought (I John 2:2; Matt. 20:28; II Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) sin is removed from the sinner ns far ns the East is from the West. God dealt in mercy with men before Christ’s time because of the lamb which was slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). Here John says that at first he did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, but he does bear record that he saw the spirit descending at his baptism, and it abode upon him. The work of Christ is for the whole world till all Its sin Is removed. He is actually removing sin from the world, and when he comes again, sin will be banished. Luke’s record adds that this same Messiah Is to baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire. Christians are to be on fire for God.
