Amid the rankling forces, Judaism, the olden beacon of the one God. was split into contending forces, floundering to preserve faith. The Baptist quit the din and clutter left his priestly home behind. He spurned the puffed-up Pharisees, their precise, formal fixing of the law. With their artful scribes, they had gained ascendancy over the Sadducees, those wealthy allies of Rome who denied man's resurrection.

The legalistic Pharisees elaborated law until it was a hollow shell, naming 39 deeds as Sabbath work, declaring a man must carry no burden on that day heavier than a fig. They used the lash and stonings. In the uplands, Samaritans accepted Hebrew law, but not the prophets. The Nazarenes, dwelling east of the Jordan, rejected temple rites as binding. Fierce Zealots carried daggers and swore death to all disloyal Jews.

To the same realm of solitude as the Baptist went the Essenes the bathers, who kept their scrolls of scripture, hymn books and manuals of strict discipline in caves beside the Dead sea. They numbered about 4.000. They too, spoke of a wondrous 'Teacher of Righteousness." So it was that the Baptist botn about six months before Jesus of an elderly priest. Zacharias, and Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary's, left his doting parents early in life for the desert. There in that place of sun and sand and silences, with the cadences of eternity in the wind and the stars caressing the very hills at night, he found his swift, straight voice.

When the time came, he stormed down from his fastness, a blazing harbinger of the new Kingdom. The Baptist left his mark on many, for 20 years later, followers spoke of him in far-off Ephesus. But Herod Antipas. whom the Baptist dared to assail for an adulterous marriage, had him locked up in Machaoerus fortress as an incendiary, and beheaded. But the voice in the wilderness, that lonely cry on the border of a raucous, reeling world, had lit a new lamp, and lifted the veil on a light that leaped around the earth.

(Tomorrow: The Visitor to Earth) Altoonan Absolved Of Blame In Accident A coroner's jury absolved Philip W. Tipton, 19, of 619 East Hudson of any blame in the highway death of John Newport Greene, of Kanakakee, 111., on route 22 west of Cresson Oct. 19.
