OUR NAVAL ORGANIZATION Under general direction of the Secretary, our navy business is henceforth to be run by naval men The work falls into four logical departments — namely, material, personnel, fleet operation, and inspection. Tbe Secretary of the Navy is to have four adrisers, each ot them a Rear-Admiral, end each representing one of the four departments The bureaus will be grouped and arranged under these headings, everything important will have to be cleared through the Secre tary'a quadrilateral board of advisers, and the old time clashes and conflicts will necessarily disappear. An efficient organization or the Navy Department will not be liked by some of the who will have to take their proper places, nor will it wholly please one or two well k own Senators, who have long imagined themselves real rulers of Uncle Sam's navy,— or less in the interest of certain small navy yards and local industries. Secretary Mever is so thoroughly right that his reforms will have general public approval ; and it is not to believed that Congress will obstruct for which we have waited so long —From "The Progress of the World." in the Amercian Review of Reviews for January.

THE mm SCHOOL, Lesson II. — First Quarter, For Jan. 9, 1910. " 1 THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, iii, IS, .to Iv, , t1— Memory Verses, iv, 10, 1t— Golden Text. Heb. Si, 18 — Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. While the people were In expectation or suspense and ineu were reasoning In their hearts as to whether John was tbe Christ or not. Jesus, being about thirty years of age. came to j John- to Jordan to be baptized of. him (Luke 111. 15. 231. Tbe Jews bad sent priests and Levlies from Jerusalem to ' John to ask him If be was the Christ or Elijah or that prophet hut Jobn replied that be was neither the one nor the other, but only the voice of one crying ln the wilderness. "Make straight tbe way of tbe Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah" (John i. IB, 23). Then after His baptism Jobn pointed j Him out as the Lamb of God who ' taketb away the sin of the world and | whom men are to follow, and men bearing Jobn followed Jesus. We are not good witnesses unless those who see and bear us follow Jesus because of us. According to our lesson, John at first refused to baptize Jesus, feeling his own unworthlDess. but Jesus said. "Suffer it to be so now. for thus It becometh us to fulfill all righteousness" (verse 15). Remembering the first recorded utterance of Jesus. "1 must be about my Father's business" (Luke U. 49i. bow suggestive is thin second utterance. "Suffer It to be so now." As believers in Him and therefore His representatives here we should always be about His business, and lh reference to all ihat He ap- | points us. however unnecessary and j uncalled for many things may seem to | us. we should remember His . words. I "Suffer It to be so now Whatever | God appoints Is right and best and

we manifest His high righteousness b7 j cheerful submission to all that is right ^ in His sight. Thus we shall be approved of Him In some sense as Jesus j was. When Jesus begun thus publicly . to Identify Himself with sinners, for t those whom John baptized confessed - their sins (verse 6). but Jesus had no - sins to confess, tbe heavens were open- • ed and tbe Fatber testified to His'deB light in His SOn. and the Spirit came g as a dove uud abode upon Him. Thus ) we see the Father. Son and Holy . Spirit in this grt-at event, it seems to , me that this testimony from the Father • covers all tbe previous life at Naz- j • areth. while tbe testimony at tbe ( transfiguration (xvii. 5i covers all His | public life. He could truly say of , Himself ln relation to His Fatber. "I _ do always those things that please s Him" (John vili. 29>. We can never - be satisfied with ourselves while we l stay ln these mortal bodies, but we • can walk with God In fellowship if [ we are always well pleased with His J Son Jesus Christ. In the seven cbap- |. ters in which we find the phrase . "Heaven opened" (Ezek J: Mat,. ill; ■ John 1. Acts vii and x. Rev. Iv and xlxi - we have ln each a vision of Christ He is alwhys the center of adoration by tbe hosts ln heaven and the redeemed on the earth If Jesus, who mu« have beeD. like Jobn. filled with the ■ Spirit fram His birth (Luke 1. ISi. J needed a special filling or anointing for ■ His public ministry Is It any wonder ' that so few have any public ministry , unto Him when so few seem to know or care anything about a special anoint- ■ ing of tbe Spirit? His desire is for ! many to stand before Him, to serve Him. to minister unto Him (11 Chron. xxlx. 11), but Be bas to say to tbe many: "I would, but ye would not;" "Ye will not come unto me." Tbe same devil who blinded and led astray Adam and Eve is still blinding the mlnda -of tbe lost to tbe light of the : glorious gospel and tbe minds of the saved ones to tbe light of the glory of God anil His klugdom. To submit to God means to resist tbe devil (Jas. Iv. 7; 1 Pet. v. 8. 9i. and until we have learned something of hia devices and bow to resist and overcome him we are not qualified for service as witnesses unto Christ. God did all He could for the comfort and happiness of Adam and Eve. but tbe devil tola them that be would do better for , hem and make them like God. Tbe devil's He won and bas been winning tbe crowd ever since by nls suggestions on tbe same three lines. Something for tbe bodv. something for tbe mind and the "er to lord It over others seem to cove tbe most of bis devicesgood for food, pleasant to the eyes, a tree to be desired to make one wise (Gen. 111. 6i. - Bread for tbe body, the esteem pf men. the world and Its glory.
