Place. â€" A wilderne&s, though its definite location is not known. The prcateRt temptation in Our Lord's life occurred immediately •fter the glorious, exhilirating ex- perience of the baptism, the de- scent of the Holy Spirit, and the Toice from heaven declaring Christ io be God's beloved Son. After •piritual excitement comes the re- action. 1. Tlien was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Why was Jesus tempted? There are sev- ral reasons: it pave proof of his true humanity; it was part of his example to us; it formed part of his personal discipline and of his preparation to he a sympathetic jnterccsfor. Of the devil. ''Satan" means .simply, "adversary." 2. And when he had fasted for- ty days and forty nigrhtf, he after- wards hupcrf-d. The Threefold Attack 3. And the tempter came and said unto him. If thou are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. The first object of the enemy was to destroy the Lord's faith. Satan cunningly hinted at the obvious inconsistency of a man in as deplorable a con- dition as Christ was, claiming to be the Son of God. 4. But he answered and said. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. In sum, Christ meant this: Far be it from me to prescribe to God the mode in which he shall provide me substance. Rather will I tru.st his omnipotent creative power, which can find means to satisfy my hunjrcr, even in the desert, though it may not be with man's food. Christ had no wish to free himself from the sense of hu- man weakness and dependence. The Eaty Way 5. Then the devil taketh him Into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple. 6. And saith unto him. If thou art Ihe Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is WTitten, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou da.sh thy foot against a stone. Satan here quotes Psalm 91:11, 12. The devil once more insinuates the doubt •bout Christ's being the Son of God. If Christ will not prove the Messiahship by work- ing a miracle to save himself from being dashed to pieces? It is per- haps a suggestion that Christ should take an easy road to suc- cess. Such a prodigious sign or miracle would convince both the priests and the people that he was the Messiah. 7. Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shall not make trial of the Lord thy God. Christ does not deny the correctness of the Satanic quotation but insists that half-truths often form the worst heresies. 8. Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, •nd showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9. and he said unto him, all these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. All these things Satan tempted him with Christ would some day have, and more, by his precious death; why not take them now •nd thereby escape all the sufftr- ing and ajony and shame that were between this hour and the resurrection 7 The Rejection 0. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written. Thou thalt worship the L*rd thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Here for the first time Christ speaks in his own power, and by the victory he has won this day is able actually to command this evil creature to de- part from him. Christ today re- tains that power, and can com- mand .Satan to depart from ns when we cry to him for deliver- ance. 31. Then the devil lea vet h him; •nd behold, angels came and min- Irtered unto him. ttC" E" Is Commonest In all European languages the letter K is the rommrncst.

Ridicule Becomes Dangerous Weapon In the Hands of the User â€" Men Tire Quickly Of Girl Who Is Always "Razzing" A lot of girls today are being pretty careless with a dangerous weapon â€" ridicule â€" and some of them are going to get hurt. They use it on each other â€" and that Isn't so dangerous â€" but some of them turn it onto men, and then wonder why they don't hold the men they m©et and attract. Going To Get Hurt It's modern â€" this idea of pok- ing fun at the person you want to Impress. And used occasionally and smartly, it adds spice to a girl's personality. It lifts her out of that namby • pamby "such-a-nice-girl" class. But there are times when it is human to resent razzing. Any girl who wants to get a man in love with her or keep him that way ought to realize those times. One time, when this line is no- go. Is when a man wants sympa- thy. When He Wants Sympathy Another time is whwi a man is on the BUbje<;t of his ambitions and plans for tho future. He wants un- "nnderstanding" then, and he will not take anything else and like It. Ridicule is a dangerous indul- gence for a woman. Because uo matter how she "dishes it out," for the moment she is being the very opposite of feminine.' ual Judges. lunis of the O.

It Isn't Wise To Rock Baby It Irritates Rather Than Sooth- es Infant, Doctors Declare Make Good Judges At American Meet OA.C. Students Stand Third in International Competition in Judging Dairy Cattle A team of students from the On- tario Agricultural College were successful entrant? In the stock and meat judging competitions at the Eastern States Exposition, Springfield, Mass. In the competition in judging dairy cattle there were twelve teams from as many colleges. Mary- land States College took first place, Michigan State College second, and the Ontario Agricultural College third. Considering the different breed competitions, the 0. A. C. team stood first in Judging Jerseys and third in judging Guernseys and Holsteins. As individual judges and in judg- ing all breeds, C. E. Geen of the O. A. C. stood fifth, A. R. Stansell ninth, and G. W. Innis eleventh. As Individual judges In separate breeds, Stansell was first in judg- ing Jerseys and Geen first In judg- ing Brown Swiss cattle. In the dressed meats competi- tion there were five teams enter- ed. The O. A. C. team stood sec- ond In judging beet and third in judging pork nnC lamb. As Individ- "llock-a-Uye, Baby," the ancient cradle lullaby, should be banned from the modern nursery, accord- ing to the Chicago Infant Welfare Society. The society's doctor declared that sentiment must give way to science; babies must not be rock- ed. Rocking, the doctors said. Irri- tates rather than soothes the baby, and If he falls asleep, it is only from general exhaustion. To support ils theories, the soc- iety claims It lost only 6.8 babies per 1,000 in 1938 as against 42 per 1.000 In 1911. City Elxistence Ruining Zulus The Zulu Regent, Mshiyeni, made an appeal to the Minister of Native .\lFairs, of South Africa, H. A. Fagan, at a meeting in Na- tal to consider giving his people "rights and privileges to make them a strong nation," reports the S.A. Press .Associatioji. Mshiyeni said that in certain cases their traditions had been de- spoiled. That they did not want. Their wives were running away from them and their girls were being ruined in front of their eyes and they could do nothing. Not Enough Rights They felt Zulus were becoming reduced and in time the Zulu would become e.xtinct. He desired the Zulu nation to become a strong people, but he felt they had not the necessary rights and privileg- es. He said the authorities had tak- en over the brewing and selling of beer and the natives were not al- lowed to make beer in private houses. In the towns they drank Euro- pean liquor which went to their heads. He asked whether a bet- ter system could be devised.

POPâ€" Too Jubilant Farm Animals Need Phosphate Deficiency of phosphorus in soils •nd in crops produced thereon is widely prevalent and is the chief reiaon for mineral supplements in the feeding of livestock. At the University of California, Ber. keley, inveotigations show that phosphorus deficiency not only causes loss of appetite and conse- quent decrease in beef and milk production but has a profoundly depreeeing effect on the reproduce tive powers of breeding animals.
