the whole world. Though His
life was spotless he joined the

work. The great high priest
under the Mosaic ritual was set
apart with the anointing or
baptism of oil. Jesus our great
high priest adhered to this ordin
ance in this feature of it, viz:
He was set apart to His priestly
work by the recognized prophet
of God and by the ordinance that
God had commissioned Him to
use for others who desired to
comply with an ordinance, the
chief purpose of which was to
signify their repentance for and
separation from past sins. Fur
thermore this ordinance served
to identify Jesus with the people
with whom He came to cast in
His lot and whose guilt he came
to bear, and submission to the
baptism unto repentance was on
His part confession of their guilt;
of His promise and power to give
them and all His, repentance to
ward God. We may herefrom
learn that he serves God best and

who obeys Him’ implicitly.

bank states that no one will lose
anything. There has been strong
talk of the bank reorganizing
and resuming business, but it is
not known yet whether it will do
so. A leading eastern Arkansas
capitalist has been here for sev

of the bank with a view of tak*;

owes depositors $7,000. The

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plana a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Hans Ablelianson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a rewilt of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
tun to be a tramp.
"He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
j in when he gets too old to catch freights,
so long as he had to buildhimself ahoma,
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tisimps on the road in the United States
Some of these friends of his, he ex*
plained, are getting old and stiff and
i cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money In
