John I. fakes-amnion by the luv. u. l. fit-Inn. to. “And as the people were in oxpecta» tion and all men mused in their hearts of John. whether he were the Christ or not." John was in the deems till the day of his showing unto Israeucbapter l, 80). Then in God's appointed time the word of God come unto John in the wilderness, and he want. forth to preacluthu baptism of re- pentance for the remission of sins (chapter ill, ti. ii). The effect upon many of the purple was simply that of suspense and debating on to whether John was the tlhrist or not. See margin. Borne of them asked him If he was the Christ or Elijah or that prophet. They need not have debated the queruion, nor have re. mained in someone, had they been subject to the prophets Isaiah and Malachi, nor would they have reasoned much as to who John was had they been truly expecting Him whom John preached. m. “John answered, saying unto them all: I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than I cometh, the latches of whose shoes I am not worthy to unlmse. lie shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." John said that he was neither Elijah nor Christ our the prophet, but only a voles—to be heard and not seen ——crylng, “Make straight the way of the Lord.” And so he cried, “Behold the Lamb of Godl" (John 1, 21, 23, 99, 30.) When afterward they told John that all were following Jesus, he said: "This my joy, therefore, is fulfilled. He must in- crease, but I must licensee" (John Ill. 29, Iiu). This inrautiful spirit of John which seeks nothing for self, but aims only to magnify the Lord, is very much to be de- sired and is within our reach, for it is the Spirit of Christ Himself, who never sought His own will our His own glory (John v. 80; vi, 38; viii, 60). Hols ready to fill us with Ills Spirit (Luke xi, lit), and He will when we are ready by His grace to live His life (11 Cor. iv, 10, if). 17. "Whose fan is in life hand, and He will thoroughly purge Ills floor and will gather the wheat into Ills garner, but the chaff He will burn with fire unquouch- abic." The baptism of Israel with the Holy Spirit and with fire will be at the harvest time, the end of this ago (Math. xiii, 40-43; Isa. xliv, 8; Mai. 11!, 2), but individual believers may and should be filled with the Spirit now, and they may also know somewhat of the experience of fire, for there is much dross In as to be consumed. The unqneuchablo fire is, how- ever, the some as the Lord Himself re~ ferred toin Mark ix, 43-48; Math. xiii, 42. See also Rev. xiv, 9-11. 18. “And many other things in his ex- honatlon preached be unto the people." In John ill, £6360, we flndthnt, among the other things, John preached that Jesus Is the Son of God (ace also chapter 1, 84); that He was cent of God; that He spoke the words of God; that whosoever receives tho Sun hath life, but he that receives not the Son hath no life, but abides under the wrath of God: that a man can meive nothing except it be given him from heav- cn, and that it is a great. honor to be a friend of the Bridegromn, even of Jesus Christ. Elsewhere He taught that repent- ance in nothing unless it is proved to be real by works corresponding thereto. We may listen to preaching as sound and Christ honoring as that of John. but we read that even the word of God will not profit those who hear it unless they believe it (Heb. iv, 2). ill. “But iiorod, tho tetrnrch. being ro— proverl by him for liorodirw, his brother Philip's wifo, and for all the evils which i-Ir-rorl had done." The particulars of this will be found in Marl; vi, 17-20, where It is also written that Horod believed John to ho a just and holy niuu, heard him gladly and (lid runny things. Some would any, therefore, that John might. have done more for [loved if ho had kept; his favor and boon gentlowith him and not rebuked his sin, but the true servant of God has no thought of pleasing man so as to keep their favor, even though they be as grmt as iiorurlulrl. i, 10). Our ouonnri constant aim must be to plmso Him who has given us so great a trust as His gospel (ll ’I‘huss. ll, 4). :20. ”Added yet this above nil—that be shut. up John in prison." This was no new experience for a prophet of the Lord, as a king of Judah put liuimui in prison because of the Lord's message through him. Miculnhwns smitten, put in prison and fed on bread and water becrmsc ho was faithful to God. Jeremiah also was smitten nnrl imprisoned in the dungeon (Ii Chi-on. xvl,10; xviii, 23, '26; Jcr. xxxvii, 15). The Lord Jesus told His apostles very plainly that they must not fear tribulation, im- prisonment or even death (John xvi, i, 2, 83; Rev. ii, 10; Math. x, 28). In Jos. v, 10. we rwd that the prophets are to us an example of suffering, affliction and of pa- tience, and in I! Put. ii,‘ 21-23, our Lord Himself is spoken of occur example in these things. 21. “Now, when all the people were bap- tized, it came to pass that, Jesus also be- ing baptized and praying. the heaven was opened. " Luke is the only one who speaks of Jesus praying/,utHis baptism. 'He spent much time in prayer. How can we do His works without it? Matthew tells us that John at first objected to baptizing Him on account of his (John’s) greater need. but that Jesus replied, saying. “Suffer it to be so new to fulfill all righteousness” (Moth. iii, 14, 15). Jesus was and is righteousness Itself and becomes our righteousness when We accept Him (Rom. x, 4; Il Cor. v, 21). Nee/heaven opened in Johni; Acts vii, x; Rev. iv, xix, and Ezek. i. 2'2. “And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice wine from heaven which said: Thou art My beloved Sun. In Thee I am well pioneer." lie was and is the true ark, where only the dovelike Spirit finds perfect rest. At Pentecost we read of tongues of fire in connection with the Spirit coming upon the disciples, but Christ needed no fire. He was always and in all things well pleasing to God. If we are willing to live His life, He will by His Spirit work in us that which is Well pleas- ing in His eight (11 Cor. iv, 1!; v, ii; Rom. xii, l. 2; Hub. xiii, 2!).

A Delicnte Situation. The situation now Is one of extreme delicacy. Indeed I canrmt define how for it is prissiblo for the government of Spain to permit amicable and careful mediation of a foreign power, however honorable and disinterested it may be, without incurring the grove risk of being accused of submit- ting to outside interference, pressure and dictation in the midst of a civil war. The United States is a great power, and until they recognize the object and encourage the aims of tho insurrectionists in Cuba they are friendly to Spain. A r the rec- oguition of the beliigerents 1 Cuba by the United States it would be impossible for the overnment of Spain to accept the good 0 cos of President Cleveland or to permit any interference whatever. Nevertheless, I still hope some means will be fouyl by the president to avoid alienating the friendly relations with the United States, which Spain has shown this week that she prizes highly. I am fully alive to the signification and the possible consequences of the vote of the United States congress to the rebels as wall as to Spain in bar relations with the United States. especially" In connection with the right of search on the high seas and in the matter of privatecrs and fill- bnstering exwditions. ’[he only new and seemingly warlike preparations yet nmde by Spain are made simply with it view to equipping a fleet of warships nmi transatlantic stcnniers to chase filibuster: and to ‘ guard the coasts of Cuba.

Iiusirlos, In ovary imperial and interna- tional question the Spaniards have always shown a patriotic spirit. The misapprehension concerning ch~ crnl chler's character and methods as a soldier originated in n misstatmuont of facts in his career and of his assignments and instructions. Both in (tuba ‘20 years ago and in the Philippine island since then Weyier has only carried out the orders of his chiefs. Before holcft for Cuba the last time, i saw and spoke to him and approved his views. Consequently he has simplyncterl in harmony with the requirements of this war. in which the insurgents have not only set at defiance the rules of civilized warfare, but have violated the provisions of tho'trenty of 1795 between Spain and the United States and of the protocol of 1877, respecting the lives and the property of all real and alleged American citizens in Cuba. 1 am determined to carry out the ad- ministrative political reforms already Voted by the cor-tea as soon as the paciflca- tion of the island permits and even such economical tariff reforms as may be con- sistent with the interests of both the colo- ny and the mother country. But It. is impossible to attempt reforms during a civil war or under any foreign pressure in the present condition of the island. . When Marshal Campos was sent to Cuba as governor general, the government would rertalniy have allowed him to institute the reforms if he had deemed thorn advis- able. But ire soon discovered that it was impossible to do so. We cannot admit that the slightest ground exists for the recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban Insurgents, whose so called president, the Marquis of Senta‘Lucin, and the members of his ex- ecutive council are nomads; like the rebel bands, ever on the move. For instance. they wore nearly surprised and captured this week by a Spanish column in‘ the province of Les Villas. .
