South and ii J>U4«ed to abide th* the Ifefkupcptfc primary Servant (Zech. 3:8), the Branch, the Man (Zech. 6:1$), the Branch of liovah (Isa. 4:2). The four-fold. count of the Gospels placed alongside of these predictions fits exactly. Mat thew* exhibits Him as the Promised King, Mark as the Servant pf Je hovah, Luke as the Man Redeemer and JqIia' 6f the Son of God. The theme of Mark is the Goqpel of Je hovah's Servant (Chap. 1:1). The khjr verse Is 10:46, and the key words are straightway," •‘forthwith.’* "tipniedb ately.” I. Who the Servant la (▼. 1). * “Joans Christ, the Sen ef God.'* Jeeui cleans Saviour, Christ meant Anointed. Thin Servant Who so fully and completely obeys God’s wlU M none other than God’s Sop. II. The Servant’s Forerunner (w. 2-8). • .-n ' •—sb—~ 1. Who Re Was (tv. 2-3). He was John the Baptist. His mission was to prepare the way for God’s Servant. He was propMsled concerting more* than ftve hundred years before he came. (Isa. 40:3). 2. His Message (w. 3-8). (1) "Prepare the Way of the Lord” (v. 3). This means to remove from your hearts everything which hinders the incoming of the Lord, to break down the high places of pride and to straighten out the crooked places, not only to confess youV sins, but to give substantial evidence of repentance. (2) “Baptism of Repentance for the Remission of Sins’’ (v. 4). In preparation for the coming of Cbriftt the people jvere to repent and those who repented were to be baptised. Baptism was administered to those who repented as an expression of the penitence which led to the forgiveness of sin. (8) The Coming of Christ (w. 7. 8). This coming was to be much greater than that of John. This superior dignity was not only In His person but In the work He was to perform. John baptized with water, hut Jesus was to be the. baptlzer with the Holy Ghost. 3. His Success (v. 5). People from all Over Judea and from Jerusalem went out and were baptized. John’s dress and demeanor were In keeping wlfb bis stern mlssldn. tils food and dress Indicated that he had withdrawn from the wortd af a proieit agatmt Its follies and sins. III. -The Baptism of the Servant (w. 9-11). v While the forerunner was discharg ing his office Jesus emerged-from his seclusion at Nazareth and demanded baptism at John’s hands. 1. Its Significance. Negatively. It was not because He had sinned for He was absolutely sin less, harmless, undeflled, separate from sinners. This separation was so complete that even the Devil could find no occasion against Him. (John 14:90). Positively. Its significance la found In harmony with the purpose of His coming into the world, which was to secure for His people salvation through death and resurrection. Tlds act was His official entrance upon Hi) work. It was an act of consecration' on hfs part to the work of saving His peo ple through sacrifice. While baptism Is a sinner’s ordinance, He ^fas bap tized, not because He had sinned, but because He took the place bt sinners. He was so devoted to them that He entered upon His mission by submit ting to the ordinance which typified deat4fc.nnd resurrection. In this He who knew no sin was made sin for ns that we might be made the right eousness of God In Him (TI Cor. 6:21) 2. Approval From the Open Heavens (vv. 10.‘ 11). Immediately following His consecration to His work the heavens were opened and the Splrft came and abode upon Him, followed by the words of approval from the Father. All these were essential for t.he work upon whlph He now en tered. THE CUNTON CHRONICLE, CUNTON. S. C. »-»jh..u. ur- il j i 111 l McADOO WILL SUPPORT TICKET Is Satisfied That Davis Is Progressive And Will Take Stomp For Nominee of Party. New York, July 12.—Several signi ficant events occurred today to draw the lightning from the charged at mosphere in which John W. Davis has moved since h’e became the Democra tic presidential nominee. Most important perhaps was the clear-cut statement of W. G. McAdoo, who sailed for Europe with his fam ily, that he would “give the Davis- Bryan ticket cordial support” and would take an active part in the cam paign upon his return in September. Rumors that Mr. McAdoo contem plated a revolt from the Democratic party and a campaign for the presi dency as an independent candidate thus were definitely spiked, Further evidence of party harmony which Democratic leaders locally hailed with satisfaction was the report that David Ladd Rockwell, who fnanaged Mc- Adoo’s campaign fox nomination, would not be averse to joining the iha—Davis- cam-, pe«CT- There was also the positive state ment of friends of William Randolph Hearst and Mayor John F. Hylan that the departure of these two men with their families to California was, a health-seeking mission. Reports of a Hearst-Hylan coup aimed at obstruct ing Qayia’ chances in Norember, were absolutely without foundation, said their associates, Mr. Davis preferred to lay the foun dation for his campaign in a leisurely, though thorough manner. He re- ceive4 a four of the most prominent party lea4ers at his Locust Valley es tate; conferred about the selection of ,4 commaader-in-chief for his forces blit made no choice;-answered a few of the thousands of telegrams of con gratulations that have poured in upon him; enjoyed a round of golf and a salt water swim with Frank L. Polk, his law partner and counsellor, and announced plans for a sojourn next week at the home of Charles Dana Gibson on Isleboro Island at Penob scot, Maine. Mr. McAdoo this morning sailed on the Homeric for a six weeks’ tour of France, Italy and Portugal with Mrs. McAdoo, their two daughters and two secretaries. “The hope of genuine reforms and progress is more likely to be realized at this time through the Democratic party than through any of its oppo nents,” he said in a prepared state ment issued whefi he reached his suite on the Homeric. “I shall, therefore, give the Davis-Bryan ticket my cor dial support and shall take part in the campaign on my return in Septem ber.” Mr. McAdoo set forth that he was “satisfied Mr. Davis is in full accord with the progressive program outlin ed in the Democratic platform,” and confident that “as president he would faithfully execute the party’s man date.” ■ (■*’ J.

If I did not believe this I could -not render aid, because I have always believed that the interests of the people should never be subordinat ed to a merely slavish partisanship.” Mr. Rockwell was the last person to bid Mr. McAdoo adieu. Afterward he said that, instead of returning im mediately to his home at Clevealnd, Ohio, he would spend a few days on Long Island recuperating from the ef fects of his strenuous labors in Mr. McAdoo’s behalf. Amplifying his statement of last night that Mr. Davis became his candidate “the moment he was nominated,” Mr .Rockwell declar ed he stood ready and willing to take an active part in putting Mr. Davis into the White House. In view of the fact that he was “contact man” of the McAdoo forces and thus might be invaluable in swinging many of thel most influen tial McAdoo supporters over to the militant' Davis ranks, Mr. Rockwell was asked if he would have a place in the management of the Davis cam paign, * “I can’t say,” he replied. “I have been approached on the subject but .not by persons in authority.' He in dicated he would welcome an oppor tunity to serve where he could most influence Mr. Davis’ prospects -in the November elections. The.
