AMERICAN BAPTIST. LOVING MY NEIGHBOR. "If I should see ▲ brotheranguishing in some distress, And I should turn and leave him comforting. When I might be A messenger of hope and happiness— How could I ask to have what I denied, In my own hour of bitterness supplied? "If I might sing ▲ little sage to cheer a tainting heart, And I should seal my lips and sit apart. When I might bring ▲ bit of sunshine for life's ache and small— How could I hope to have my grief relieved. If I kept silent when my brother grieved? "And so I know That the lay is lost wherein I fail to lead ▲ helping hand to some wayfaring friend; But if I show ▲ burden lightened by a cheer I send. Then do I hold the golden hours well spent, And lay me down to sleep in sweet content." —Bradt 房 A T9IP, NORTH AND SOUTH. On November 20th 1908, I, with the church of my charge here, which I have been pastor for nearly eight years celebrated my 45th birth day, by gathering as: the church at night and listening t; an able sermon d livered by Rev. E. W. Hawthorne, D. D., pastor of the Pleasant Green Baptist church, Lewington, Ky. On the morning of the first, we took huse A. & B. train for Newport, Ky, my invitation of Corinthian Baptist church of that city to preach the formal installation sermon of Rev. H. Nutter, the pastor elect. I was met at the train in Covington, Ky, by Rev. H. Nutter and carried to my stopping place by him. After spending some time with Rev G. W. Ward of Covington, Ky, we met many old friends Sunday morning we met a live and healthy Sunday school under the management of Prof. C. D, Horner, principal of the high school of the city, as superintendent, his heart seemed to be in the work of school and church. At 11 a.m. we were greeted by a large crowd who came to here us. So for three times that day we stood before the people to preach God's word. At 8 p.m, there gathered the largest crowd of the day, and on the whole we had a fine meeting and the spirit of God was with us. Rev. Nutter entered upon his new field with fattering prospects everything seemed to move with system and regularity. The church seemed to be proud of the man of their courage, and he in turn seemed to be pleased with his new good. Zion church of Paris has lost a good pastor and I see that his place will be hard to fill. On Monday the 28rd we took ourselves to the Queen City of the great west, in company with Revs. Nutter and Ward. There we met the depart ministers of the city and were not a little surprised to find such a body of able ministers o the New Testament among whom were Revs. Harris, Robinson, J. J. Jackson and others. Our visit to that city was to preach for Rev. L. W. Gray, my son in the gospel, a young man whom I ordained while in charge at Winstchester, K.Y. and G W Wyatt wass church latest purchased by his people on 8.h street, Cinclin natt, having moved from throid Carr street church which they rented so long. They seemed to be well pleased with their new home Rev. Wyatt's people surely love him. We had the pleasure of meeting their families and their churches and preached for them. May the Lord bless the B.J. lists of Cinclin natt. Thanksgiving found us on our way home to attend service in our church on said day at Paris, Ky., had a funeral next day and remained home over Sunday and left for Sutherland Ky., to be with Rev. W. H. Williams another of my sons in the gospel, a young man whom I have known nearly all his life and whom I baptised in the Nicholasville Baptist church some 14 years ago when he was a small boy about 12 years of age. It has pleased God to call him into the ministry and make him the spiritual overseer of the 20k in that place. Molded Co. inhabitan a, situated on the Queen & Crescent railroad. We spent ten days with him and his good people; his dear little wife is truly a presacher's wife. I have known her from a small child of seven years old, I baptized her about twelve years ago at Nicolaasville, Ky. so they appear very much as children of mine. The whole church both old and young* seem to love and respect him and they have splendid Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U. Rev. Williams is one of our coming young men and destined to do great good in the work of the ministry. While there Rev. G. M Moore, the missionary of the South District association, came in from an extended trip through the mountains and reported the great need of the gospel in these localities, fields yet undeveloped and citying need of young men to go to such places and preach and build up the cause of Christ. Many a young man that now sits around some pupil in a city church waiting chance to preach the pastor may make way for him by giving up that hour to him or being out of town. They hope the pastor may soon die or resign so they can get a job, but in nearly all such cases the church reuses to call such a man. When the pastor is removed by death or otherwise the church wants a man who is doing something and has done something. So I advise young men to get up and go and do the work which the Lord has called them to do. Every presacher cannot be a city pastor; some of our greatest men and strongest city pastors received their early training in the rural districts. Be a John the Baptist, go out in the wilderness and preach and you will be heard. Men whom God has called will go out and look for work and he who looks stall find it, I speak from experience. When I started out and preached as best I could and found work to do I found a place where the was no church I called the people together and organized a church and ordained deacons and I became pastor of it and my fame spread for miles around and the church in Nicholasville, Ky., a town of 3,000 inhabitants and a church with 224 members called me and I remained with them ten years and six months and as called to Paris, a town of 10,000 people and a church of more than 600 members. so I do not despise the day of small things, be faithful over a few things, Go preach the gospel dear young ministers. Rev. Moore preached two good sermons at Somerset: may God bless him in his work. I returned home December 14th and found my family well and church doing well and all eyes were turned to the meeting of the New Era Institute with the First Baptist church, December 16th, 17th and 18th; we indeed had a pleasant and profitable session. The lectures were good the doctrine preclaimed by each speaker made the baptist stronger as time went on. Other denominations came in great numbers and asked many questions and tried to present their views; their ministers were the leaders in this, but they were met squarely in each case. But, by submitting those question enabled us to gain the exact views held by them, as in the case of question asked by a campbellite preacher on the subject of baptism. I was brought out by their own statements that they baptise in order to save men or in other words they teach baptismal regeneration, that water washes away, that the man is changed in the water in the act of baptism. While the Baptist the old landmarkers teach and practice what is found in the word of God; namely, to the Holy Gospel regenerate men and the change is made by him alone and the men are baptised because of that fact, that he is buried because he is dead to all, and raised up because he is made alive in Christ. We as Baptists do not baptize men to save them but because they are already saved before by the quickening power of the Spirit of God. For this doctrine Alexander Campbell and his followers were exciled from the Baptist church and the Red Stone Baptist association in the state of Virginia about 1828. They are only a set of disorderly excluded Baptists and form no part of the church of Curst. They are prescribing a doctrine as dangerous as it is false the absurd idea of a water regeneration. Some of our weak Baptists try to hold the same thing I know I was saved months before I was baptized, being born again in June 174 and baptized about the 1st of November, the same year and I was saved them as much as I am now, for I was born again and water had not软 it to do with my salvation, but I received it as a positive command from your Master and it, to me was an answer of a good conscience toward God, having done his will and command. It was an outward declaration of an inward work. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us, from all from all sin, and not water. Water only works as a flure and not really. Baptists must preach more on the distinctive principles of Baptists. I see it is needed more as time advances. THE AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL Important Meeting of the of Subcommittee in Washington, St. Louis the next Meeting— Lawyer Hayes Supervised as National Organizer—Call on President Roosevelt. Washington, December 14th—A meeting of the sub-commitee of the executive committee of the National Afro-American Council was held here last Thursday. After the transaction of a lot of routine business, it was decided that the next meeting of the National Afro-American Council would be held at St. Louis, Mo., beginning Tuesday, Sept. 4th 1904. A committee of five was appointed to appear before the platform committee of the next National Republican Convention to urge that it take vigorous action to rectify the malignant suffrage abuses known to exist in certain states of the Republic. A resolution requesting that the Senate of the United States take speedy and favorable action in the matter of of the nomination of Dr. Crum as collector of the port at Charleston, was unanimously adopted. "We are opposed to the unrepublican principle of drawing the color line in the Republican party, which has been inaugurated in certain states to the detiment of the party and the injury of some of the most uncompromising supporters of its policy in the past, and we believe that the proposed reduction of representation in the Nation Republican Convention would be an injustice when the party should not perpetrate. "We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Pres. Housevelt for daring at all times to stand up for impartial justice and the manhood rights guaranteed by the laws and the Constitution and the laws based thereon. We have never asked special consideration in any matter affecting the common rights of citizens and merely believe that he has not sought to give us such. He has treated us just like other citizens, and we have never asked for more and will not be satisfied with less. By announcing that he would not submit to the closing of the door of hope to us, he played the gamut of principles for which the nation stands and for which its founders dedicated their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor. Among those present were: Bishop A. Walters, chairman of the executive committee; T. Thomas Fortune, president; Cyrus Feld Adams, secretary; John W. Thompson, treasurer; Wun A. Pledger, vice-president; Walter L. Chen, Louisian. W, T. Andrews; South Carolina; John C. Dancy North Carolina; William H. Steward, Kentucky; A. B. Cosey, New Jersey; P. B. S. Punchabu and R. H. Perrel of the District of Columbia. An adjourned Meeting of the subexecutive committee was held Saturday afternoon. The office of national organizer, held by Jamie H. Hayes of Virginia, was declared vacant, and A. B. Cosey of New Jersey was elected to fill the position. Judge R. H. Terrell was appointed counsel for the District of Columbia. A committee was appointed to revise the constitution. The Missouri members of the executive committee were authorized to proceed to make arrangements for the next annual meeting of the Council, at St. Louis. Diane action was taken that the organization should no longer be nonpartisan in character. At noon on Saturday, the committee upheld on President Rosevelt, by appointment, to pay its respects add had a very pleasant audience.—The New York Age. Driving Out the Enemy.

The New-York Tr.bune Farmer The Tribune Farmer has no superior anywhere in this wide world as a publication for farmers and their families. It does not, to be sure, tell how to extract green cheese from the moon, but everything worth knowing about the theory or practice of farming is treated by men recognized as experts in their various lines. But The Tribune Farmer does more than supply valuable information. It keeps the farmer in touch with all the latest improvements by text and pictures, and pays special attention to the work being done at agricultural colleges all over the country.

LAST week conditions and environments gave us the opportunity and blessing of looking backward and commenting upon our past record and achievements, and this week, having crossed the threshold of a new year we are privileged in looking forward to gather fresh hope and courage for the contest that confronts us. Our paper, the oldest in our denomination in this country and with one exception the oldest race journal now published, enters upon its twenty-sixth year with bright prospects for the future, and with a new determination to do better service than ever before. Our policy is unchanged, and while we shall be loyal to denominational affairs we shall not be unmindful of race interests, because in this every Negro should be deeply concerned. Where we have means and the opportunity we desire to make improvements and enlarge our ability for doing good and in this if we have the support of our readers we will be doubly blessed. The student is said to be the best advertisement for a school, and so with race papers—the readers are the best representatives, and to each and every one of them we appeal for cordial support this year. Our contemporaries have always been our strong support and our relations must be just as friendly and cordial as in the past. With this kindly sentiment we this kindly sentiment we tip our hat to 1904 and wish all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. FROM current comments it is evident that the Suffrage League Convention organized in Washington City two weeks ago is intended to supplant or antagonize the Afro-American Council which was organized several years ago, having the same objects in view and composed of some of our most public spirited and representative men. The argument is made that the Council has not accomplished its purpose and that it is dominated by men who are objectionable to some of the leaders in the new movement. The first objection is true and it will possibly be true of new organization in time, but that will not argue that an honest and earnest effort has not been made to accomplish that end. The second objection is frivolous and could be urged with as much prosperity against the new organization for the time will never come when some one will not object to those who manage and control its affairs just as they will to those who control other organizations. These objections are usually more imaginary than real and are the outgrowth of jealousy or envy and not always made for the good of those most concerned. There is no reason to believe that the persons who control the new organization are more earnest, conscientious, efficient and unselfish than those who manage the Afro-American Council. It has been our contention for many years that the encouraging of the lynching habit would develop the spirit of lawlessness un- til it would show itself in other directions and become a menace to law and order in any community. This was displayed last week in Pineapple Ala. where a mob after lynching a colored man undertook to destroy the evidence of its guilt by burning the jail. The jail was set on fire which was communicated to the adjoining buildings and in this way a loss of $35,000 was brought upon the property holders of the place as a result of a lynching which could have been prevented no doubt if there had been a disposition to do so. A liberal reward has been offered for the ap prehension of the law breakers but had not the property been destroyed little attention would have been paid to the destruction of a human life. In a terrible fire and panic in the Iroquois Theatre, Chicago, last Wednesday afternoon nearly 600 people were burned and tramped to death and more than half as many more injured. The fire originated on the stage and though the alarm was given and the people urged to be cool and collected they lost control of themselves and rushed to an awful and shocking death.

The 27th annual session of the State Teachers Association convened in the A. M. E. Z Church at 13th and Broadway Monday afternoon, December 28th, and was called to order promptly at 2 o'clock by President F. L. Williams. The opening song was rendered by Seventh grade pupils of the Western School under the direction of Miss Mamie E. Maxwell. Rev. G. B. Walker addressed the throne of grace and the enrollment of teachers was made. A musical number was then sung by the Eighth grade of the Western School under the direction of Miss G. G. Moore. The opening addresses were delivered by Profs. G. P. Russell, W. H. Perry, of Louisville, C. W. Reynolds, of Maysville, upon "How may Schools be improved." The next address was by Prof. Reuben Post Halleck upon "Moral Training as the Chief Practical Aim of the Teacher." The addresses were all well delivered and were warmly discussed EVENING SESSION When President Willi ms called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock the church was crowded to the doors and standing room was at a premium. After the opening song Rev. Joseph Courtney, D. D. offered prayer. The address of welcome—earnest, cordial and impressive—was delivered by Miss M. S. Brown, and the response by Miss Mary A. Titus. The association was favored with a well rendered duett by Misses Ella B. Rus sell and Willie B. Cooper. Prof Kelley Miller having failed to reach the city in time to fill his place on the programme, the evening was devoted to having impromptu addresses from Profs. J. S. Hathaway, C. C. Monroe, J. R.Harris, W. H. Fouse, Dr. W. H. Ballard, Mr. Chas, Stewart, Profs. G. P. Russell, C. F. Sneed Rev. C. H. Parrish D. D., Mrs. L. B. Sneed. All the addresses were practical and instructive.

SECOND DAY—MORNING SESSION. "Jesus Lover of My Soul," the opening song, was announced promptly at 9 o'clock when the second day's work of the Association was begun. Rev. J. E. Wood of Danville offered prayer. The reading of the minutes was dispensed with and the first subject for discussion, "Manual Training in the Elementary Schools," was opened by Prof. J. H. Garvin, of Winchester. The paper was most generously approved by those who followed in the discussion. Prof. W. H. Gibson, a pioneer teacher in Louisville before the war, was introduced by Prof. W. P. Annis. After a short recess pupils of the California school, under the direction of Miss Lucy N DuValle, rendered two songs in a very pleasing way. "Nature Study in the Elementary Schools—aims, scope and value," was the next theme for discussion and it was opened in a forceful address by Prof. C. C. Monroe, of Owensboro. This was followed by a well prepared and comprehensive paper in "Nature Study in High Schools" by Prof. C. W. Houser. Some time was spent in a most profitable discussion of the subjects. After the announcement of the committees the Association adjourned AFTERNOON SESSION. The association re-assembled at 2 o'clock. Rev. C. B. Allen offered prayer. Several teachers were enrolled before the first subject "How Training of School and Home may be Correlated" was opened in a spirited address by Mrs. Barbara E. Courtn. y of Lexington. This was followed by Rev. J. E. Wood, of Danville, upon "How Training of School and Church may be Correlated." The last phase of the question, "How may Training of School and Life be Correlated," was discussed by Prof. C. F. Sneed. The pupils of the Eastern School then rendered a song impressively, after which a recess was taken to allow a photographer to take a picture of the Association. When the Association re-convened Prof. A. E. Meyzeek read a very pointed paper on "How the Course of Study may be made to Contribute to the Development of Character," Prof. J. S Cotter gave a pleasing address on "Story-telling: Value and Method." The original points and suggestions were amusing and instructive. A number of recommendations submitted by the President was referred to a special committee Revs S E. Smith, D. D., J. H. Frank, D. D., J. Courtney, D. D., G. C. Clements and Dr. M. F. Robinson were introduced and addressed the Association before the hour of adjournment. EVENING SESSION In order to furnish larger accommodations for the great crowds which have attended the Association the evening session was held in Quinn Chapel and it was filled with an appreciative audience Rev. J. H. Frank, D. D., offered the opening prayer. Two musical selections followed, a vocal solo by Mrs. M. L. Bonner and a piano solo by Miss Mamie E. Smith, were highly enjoyed. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Prof. L. V. Dodge, of Berea, on "Character Building." A well executed Chorus by the Oratorio Society, a charming duett by Mrs. Lizzie Evans and Miss Mary V. Hicks, and a posing exhibition by Miss Lucretia M. Gibson ended he interesting programme—Profs. Kelly Miller, of Washington, D C., and G. W. Carver, of Tuskegee, were introduced and benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. T. Morrow. THIRD DAY—MORNING SESSION The closing day of the Association showed no waning of interest in the proceedings. The pupils of the Maiden Lane School sang the opening song under the direction of Prof. A. H Payne. On motion of Prof. W. P. Annis the President and Secretary were empowered to have the best papers read during the session published in such papers as they may select. Mr. Isaac Hathaway favored the Association with a recitation which was much enjoyed and Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Douglass sang a duet. The feature of the session was the excellent address of Prot. G. W. Carver, of Tuskegee, upon "Agricultural Training." He kept the large audience interested in his illustrations and striking simples until the close of his address and was roundly applauded. Upon recommendation of the committee the following officers were elected: F. L. Williams, Covington. Miss G. G. Moore, Louisville. Secretary : W. C. Jordan, Bardstown.

The first topic for discussion was "The Colored Teacher: His Opportunities and Responsibility for the Enlightenment, Development and Enoblement of the Race," and was discussed by Profs. W. B. Ferguson N. A. Fleming and Miss Lyda Adams. The addresses were full of encouragement and clearly outlined the wholesome influence the teacher may exert in his work. One of the most inspiring addresses was then delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller, of Washington City, upon "Effective Education," who was listened to with rapt attention.

The largest and most enjoyable social gathering of the week was the elaborate banquet given Wednesday evening at Odd-Fellows Hall by the teachers of Louisville and Jefferson County to the visiting teachers. Covers were laid for 250 persons and the menu was such as would tempt the most exacting appetite. The guests assembled early and at 9:30 o'clock the grand march was announced and every guest seated at the same time. During the supper toasts were delivered as follows: "Our Guests," Prof. A. E. Meyzeek; "Our Hosts" Prof. J. S. Hatbaway; "Woman—Her Influence and Sphere," Prof. C. C. Monroe; "Our Country," Prof. J. H. Garvin; "Our Professor," Mrs. Lizzie B. Fouse; "Influence of the Press on Popular Education," Prof. W. C. Jordan—"Our Patrons." Prof. Isaac Fisher; "Influence of the Pulpit on Popular Education," Rev. Geo. C. Clents. "Our Boys and Girls," Mrs Lavilia B. Sneed; "Retrospect and Prospect," Prof. F. L. Williams. The introductions by Prof. W. H. Perry who acted as toastmaster were happy and witty and the responses were appropriate and suggestive. Parting words were given by Profs. Kelly Miller and G. W. Carver before the banquet was concluded. Mrs. Rosealine Barton died December 19th after fifty years service as teacher in the Sunday-school of the First Baptist church Lexington. There are many men who are now advancing in years who as boys sat under the instruction of this good woman and she always taught a class of boys. "One vacant seat in Sunday-school A name missed from the teachers roll And to the grand immortal host Is added one more faithful soul. No empty words, but labors mark her day A faithful Annie at the temple door Her mission was to teach the youth the way Of truth and life for evermore. How many generations call her blessed? How many childish heart breathes forth a sigh? And those older grown love her none the less All bid her a reluctant last good- bye. Though gone and resting from her toils Her works will follow on and on With jewels numbered by her ardent deed Her crown O beautious crown. MRS ROSA E. C. EDMONDS. WM. R. BELKNAP, THEO. AHRENS, J.

The Junkins Run Baptist church is progressing nicely, spiritually and financially and very much numerically, though we have some very sad news concerning some of the very important members of said church. Sister Minnie Powers the widow of deceased deacon John Powers, who was widely known in Kentucky for his loyalty to Baptist enterprise's and especially to his own church, has been very sick for six weeks, but is now improving slowly. She is indeed an earnest church worker and her recovery is speedily hoped for. The saddest all is the three deaths in the family of brother Lewis Patterson, within two weeks, Brother Patterson died December 5th, his wife the 12th and his wife's mother the 16th, there tunerals were all from the Junkins Run church. Brother Lewis Patterson was 58 years old; his wife Mahala Patterson 50 years old; his mother-in-law 82 two years years] Brother Patterson and wife leave two girls and one boy ages ranging from 12 to 18 years old. These deaths are quite a shock to the neighborhood. G. F. WATSON, Pastor POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE Mr. R. T. Fortune, of washington City, is in the city Dr. C. W.

THE PREACHING OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Motto Text: 'Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' "In these days came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judah" - The days when Joseph and his family were living in Nazareth, as told in the closing verse of chapter second. John was about thirty years of age, having been living in the desert, that is, in the wild, uninhabited part of the country, for some time. This was his first appearance as a preacher of righteousness. Luke is the only Gospel which gives any account of John before he began his preaching. The wilderness of Judea was a name given to a region living west of the Dead Sea, and including part of the Judean valley. "Repent re, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." -The Greek word translated "repent" means a change of thought and of purpose. True repentance changes our opinion of ourselves, showing us that we are guilty sinners, fully deserving the wrath of God, and it changes our purpose; making us resolve to cease from sin and to seek God's forgiveness. "For the kingdom of heaven is at hand."—The Jews had long been looking for the Messiah king who was to sit upon the throne of David. John tells us that the Messiah is coming to reign, and as a preparation for his coming they should cease from their sins and turn from their evil ways. "For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Esaias."—It is Matthew who is speaking in this verse, and not John Esaias is the Greek word for Isaiah. The word translated "by" means more accurately "through." God spoke through the prophet. The correct translation reaches the inspiration of Isaiah. "The voice of one crying, in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." Matthew quotes from the Septuagint version of Isa. 40:13. Like so many of the prophecies, this one has two fulfilments. The primary reference was to God's bringing Israel back from the Babylonish captivity. The second fulfilment was the mission of John the Baptist. The kings in those days when about to make a journey through their provinces, sent heralds to tell the people to prepare the roads for them. Our Lord came to establish a spiritual kingdom and the preparation for that was repentance. "And the same John had his reiniment of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins"—The pictures represent John as wearing a camel's skin, but this was never worn as sheepskin has been. It was a coatse, strong cloth woven rom camel's hair, and was worn by the poor. The girdle was necessary to fasten up the flowing garment when a man was in rapid motion, or active labor. Sometimes these girdles were of silk studded with jewels. But cheap ones were jeather. "And his meat was roosts and wild honey." His food. The law of Moses allowed some species of locusts to be eaten and they were often eaten by the poor, and are to this day. John dressed plainly and lived simply. John's appearance was a sermon against luxury and "called men to repentance." "And there went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region round about Jordan."—All the Jordan valley was not included in the territory of Judah Israel had had no prophet since Malachi, four hundred years before. AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY JANUARY 1904 And when one appeared, dressing as did the great Elijah and uttering stern warnings in his spirit, it is not strange that the multitudes poured into the wilderness to hear him. What added to their eagerness was the hope that he might prove to be the Messiah and free them from the hated Roman yoke. "And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins."—Dipped by him into the waters of the Jordan. The word is common in Greek literature, and invariably means to immerse. After the temple had been destroyed and the Jews scattered abroad they adopted baptism in the case of proselytes from the Gentiles. The first reference to it in any of the Jewish writings is in a Babylonian Talmud of the fifth century. "Confessing their sins."—The Greek shows that each man acknowledged his guilt just before he was baptized. "And when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism."—There were three parties if considered politically, or sects if considered religiously—the Essenes, Sadducees and Pharisees. The latter were the best and the most numerous. The Sadducees were sneering, rationalists who sided with the conquerors and believed such parts of the Old Testament as they happened to like. The Pharisees had been patriots in the wars of the Macabees and hence were a power with the people. There were good men among them, but they had become largely hypocrites. And while the most orthodox of these sects, They were teaching for commandments the traditions of men. "O, generation of vipers."—A very strong expression of indignation and contemp*. Vipers were deadly, and vipers were insidious. By teaching the people the traditions of men instead of the commands of God, these men made themselves deadly serpents. "Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"—Broadus says the more natural sense of these words is surprise that any one should take the trouble with so little prospect of any good result. There is wrath to come before every one of our sinful race. Blessed are those who take warning and flee to the sure refuge of Christ. UNIVERSITY NOTES. S. U. Rah, rah, rah, rah, S. U.
