The first lesson for this year marks
the introduction of The Improved Uni
form series of International Sunday
School Lessons. This series has grown
out of several years of frank discus
sion and the presentation of many pro
posed lesson schemes. It Is an effort
1o conserve the benefits of the uni
form system of lessons with the desire
to ndupt the lessons as thoroughly
as possible to the modern pedagogical
Idea of graded Instruction for the vari
ous departments of the school : an
attempt to provide for the whole school
as thorough and as teachable a uni
form lesson Idea as possible.
Special topics and special memory
verses and additional scriptural ma
terial have befn designated wherever
it has been, deemed possible whereby
to make the lesson? more helpful to
the pupils of different departments.
It is the beginning of an eight-year
cycle, chosen with the view first, of
Incorporating several short topical
.courses In addition to the usual series
on the chronological basis, and sec
ond the committee had in mind the
desirability of more frequent survey
of the entire Bible with varying meth
ods of npprouch than Is possible uudei
a six-years cycle. Finally, to har
monize In the period of the cycle tin
newly adopted quadrennial conven
tions of the International Sunday
School association. Where no topic,
memory verse or additional material
lis Indicated for lnter-departments ot
schools, it is intended that Uniform
material should be employed for sucli
'deuartiuents.
Occasionally the general title and
lesson may be fottOd to be more help
!ful than the special topics or addl
itlonal material as Indicated for a glv
'en department. Sunday school lead-
ers frankly acknowledge that this new
plan is an experiment. It Is hoped,
however, that the long continued con
troversles over graded lessons, extra
biblical material and uniform lessons
may find a solution in this newer plan
Mark's Gospel pictures Jesus as the
servant; therefore, It makes no reter
,ence whatever to his genealogy. The
key-word to this gospel is the word
"straightway," which Is used more
thon forty times, and It is a sugges
tion as regards the obedience of a
.aervant
I. introduction (vv. 1-3). The be
ginning of the gospel is meant the
beginning of the blessed story as told
by the evungelist, Mark. Note It Is a
fulfilment of prophecy (Mai. 3:1; Isa.
430:3). Mark is here more particular
ly referring to Isaiah. This Is the
period In the life of Christ between
his temple experience and the day of
his baptism, when he first entered
publlcally Into the real history of
Israel. Jesus must needs have a her
aid, even as an earthly king Is an
nounced before his arrival. Christ
himself Is the living word (John 1:1),
(though the voice which announces him
4s the voice of a man John the Bap
Ittzer. The buptlsm of John was unto
(repentance and the remission of sins,
It must not be confused with Christian
baptism. Some Interesting questloas
arise as to the life of Jesus before
this event his religious habits (Luke
4:16); his attitude toward the word
of God and its prophecies (Luke 4:1
21) ; the work he had been doing lu
Nazareth (Mark 0:3).
II. The BaDtizer. (vv. 4-9). To
know what kind of a man John was
we must look up Mark 1 :6 and Matt
6:4. Ills religious convictions are In
teresting also. They were a matter
of his heart (Luke 3:8), a thing of
"his dally life (Luke 3:10). He was a
man who held to a strict moral stand
ard (Mark 6:18). His method and his
message were a protest and a warn
lag as well as a preparation. Repent
ance Is not remission of sin (I John
1:0). John demanded "fruit" whlcl
should accompany repentance (Matt
8:8, 0). His message was not mi
tlonal but Individual and his sugges
tlon (Matt. 8:10-12) of future punish
ment for wrong-doing is only exceeded
by the words of our Lord himself.
III. The Baptism (vv. 10. 11). Bap
tism Is always uu emblem, a symbol
(See Matt. 8 :11 ; Luke 3 :6 ; Mark 1 :8
Bom. 6:4.) It Is a public l dentine a
tlon, a public consecration and confes
sion of faith. Jesus Christ himself
took the nlace of sinners (U Cor,
6:21).
While this lesson la a lesson of tfc
herald who preceded our Lord, who
.came to prepare the way and to usher
In his kingdom, still there Is the other
aide which we cannot forget, and In
teaching this lesson we most empha-
else, the character of the king whom
John came te herald.

the total. Neither can a Turner al
low a salary to himself and expect
that to be deducted. iTaxes, cost of
repairs, but not Improvements, and
actual expenses connected with the
farm may be deducted, but that does
not include personal expenses.

ment of the University of Nebraska !
has In press a large number of ac
