John Wesley was ridiculed and hooted and caricatured. Bad men burned Sam Jones‘ buggy house and threatened the lives of his wife and children. All who follow the Lord closely know what it is to suffer. 4. John suffered.

He would not touch ‘the beer. Some old men interfered, and he was released and ran to his mission. "Did they make you afraid ?" asked the missionary, "No," he replied, "there was no fear in my heart. Jesus gave me strength. They may tic and beat and sell my body, but they cannot tic, or kill, or sell my soul." (Matt. 1Q 28). 20). Stephen before certain of the synaâ€" gogite (Acts 6. 10, 15).

A little slave boy in Bailundu, Africa, was converted to Christianity. At a feast held in honor of a departed spirit H. Study John for well doing, 1. John was faithful. He dared to call a muitiâ€" tude a "generation of vipers" (Luke 3. 7). _ He dared to rebuke Herod, dared to tell a king that he was a criminal (v, 18}. It is casy to reprimand a serâ€" vart, it is hard to reprove a friend. It is casy to decture a gutter drunkard, not so casy to rebuke a rich reprobate. It is hard to rebuke "at the right time, in the right spirit, in the right manner. The holy Baptist rebuked Herod withont making him angry ;he must have hebukâ€" ed him with gravity, even temper, sinâ€" cerity and evident good will; but he spoke so firmly and sharply the rebuke cost him his life." 2. Love the word of God (v. 20.) Herod heard John, but he never heard Jesus. Ik never looked beyond the man and his message to the Master. One may aaâ€" tend church, make much of the preacher, talk p‘ously and give generously, yet, stopping short of reverence for God and his word, go down to eternal death. 3. Beware of carnal pleasure, Salome "danced ard pleased Herod" (v. 22). The first sin came through pleasure. The forâ€" bidden fruit was "pleasant to the eyes" of Eve (Gen. 3. 6). 2. John was bold. Like Peter and John before the Sanhedrin (Acts 4, 19). ‘!jho apostles before the council (Acts 5. 1. Study Herod for warning. Mark Hopkins said, "A man may become of no use in this universe except for a warnâ€" ing." Let the example of Herod warn you to: 1. Hear and heed (v. 20.) _ Herod "heard John" with a relish; he enjoyed his instructions; _ he appreciated his bravery; but he would not put away Herodias, nor refuse the jlife of his teacher when it was unrighteously deâ€" manded. When Hugh Latimer presented Henry VIII. with a napkin on which was emâ€" broidered, "Whoremongers and adulterâ€" ers God will judge," the king did not thrust him in prison, but said, "I am glad there is one man who dares to tell the truth." But Henry, like Herod, died a monster of iniquity. Are you glad for the premises, but careless for the precepts? Do you like the practical and eschew the doctrinal? Do you do "many things," but not the one thing which is a blot upon your life? Be careâ€" ful; that is like Herod. IV. John the Baptist beheaded (vs. 26 20). 26.
