Jan. 7.—After a three-day battle against death the Her. E. Frank Lee, pastor of Calvary Mathodist'church here, died Mrly this ' morning, the victim of a bullet from a ’ Nafro Intruder. The mimeter’s death came' after physicians had beyun to believe he ndfht survive. He was shot Friday nifiit when he accost^ tl^ Negro, who was looking in the bath room krin- dfw. The^, Negro, without ^apeptk'ing, fhrad twkie^ the fatal sl|ot*taKUig eff feet in the abdomot. , , ~ Three Negroes iue 'held but because of'the serious condition of the minis ter from the time he was shot until ‘^yhis death, police were not permitted to take them to his bediii’de', tousee if be could identify one of them. , One of them, John Revice, was ar- reeted after it became known he had?! visited a Negro (^fe about the time of the shooting. Blood hounds had led Uie police from the back yard of the parsonage to the cafe. . '• Two others, Walter Harris and Jer ry Hines, are said to have beeii suit ors of a servant employed in the Lee home. Harris is also said to have gone to the Lee home s^eral times to see the Negro nurse. The Reverend Mr. Lee was one of the leading^ministers in his confer- ^ Mii rwarHgwngUwTif ■ liw«ewi • ^ By Rgv.

It will be necessary for each stw^To study 3he inierVehing facts. This time bMome well acquaint ed with John the Baptist. Rehd Luke 1 and Matthew 3. John wm really an Old Testament chaincw. Jesus says of him that no one born of woman was greater, ’^its appreciation is rea son enough tor careful research.* In Luke 2:40-52 you will have a fas cinating glimpse at the growing Jesus, when he was 12 years old and made the trip to the Passover feast at Je- a rusalem. Then '‘mere were 18 more growing years at Nazisreth in Galilee. At laft .the tiin« O^.Hk jpblic minis try arriVed aifd Re . appears at the Jordan where John ..is preaching his denunciations against sins, together with a fervent appeal to make confes sion of sin through the form of bap tism. One day Jesus asked for such baptism, not because He was a sinner but that he might thus formally take man’s law-place with respect to sin. John at first declined to act but yield ed at the command of Jesus. It was an act of wondei*fuI humility also on the part of the Son of Ckgl. .Forthwith testimony was given* by the Father that was evideht to all. The Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, descended upon Jesus Christ, and the voice of Jehovah was heard in the words of our Golden' Text: “This is my Moved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” This testimony was most convincing to John and very hearten ing to Jesus as He thus entered upon His public mission, during which he was to suffer many things and at last be crucified on the cross at Calvary. Here is a manifestation of the Trinity, the Father, Son and^H^fy Spirit—the th^ee’Peribns in Godhead. Heights and depths can follow in quick jsuccession in our lives as well as in that of the Master Teacher. Nu merous major purposes converge dur ing the following forty da^of temp- tatibn in the wilderness. Jesus sought retirement that He might give further thought to all the meaning of the bap tism and the active presen«?e of the Holy Spirit. Those wjjo believe in the growing consciousness of Jesus con cerning His mission will declare that for the first time He fuUy realized what he must updertalfer^thers are sure that He«knew the purpose of His life even when he talked to the doc tors of the law at the age of twelve in Jerusalem’s temple. From the stand point of God it was a period of pro bation. The devil used the occasion as a time of the grossest temptation. •Herein was a time of tragedy that has been used as a setting by the great poet 'Milton. Read both “Paradise Lost” and “Paradise Regained.” In brief, during those forty days Jesus was tempted with all the temp tations that have come to mankind.' “He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.” There was a pause and Jesus became conscious of the hunger and weaxness due to those days of continuous fasting. At t that strategic moment Satan uses the [three-fold temptations recoVded in our lesson text and Jesus parries aacW tack by His steadfast JTalth in Father. The reply is in Scripture tation. At last Satan is unmasklidl when the calls him by name. Tht glotMous picture is when angda c4Mia and minister to the Victor.
