Our club -was organized the twenty-
second of January, 1920. It was or-
ganized because the mothers and our
teacher, Miss Wood, wanted one very
much,
Our work was planned so that there
was no money handled by the treas-
urer. Our amounts were kept by the
secretary. The chief cook ordered
articles of food from the pupils. The
Slips were given out every Friday
night for the following week. The

4: 1-11. The Temptation. "Into the
wilderness to be tempted." The hour
of great exaltation is followed by
many days alone in the wilderness in
fasting and prayer. Then He is as-
sailed by fierce temptation. He is
tempted to doubt the truth and reality
of that divine call which had come to
Rini and that divine Voice which had
spoken. The tempter said, "If thou
be the Son of God," and repeated it,
as if to cast doubt upon that assump-
tion. The tempter asks Him to prove
it by a miracle,—by changing stones
to bread, or by casting Himself from
some high place on the temple roof.
But Jesus already sees that His way
must be the way of faith, and that no
mere miracle or inarvel win ever
prove either to Himself or to the
world, the truth '01 His relationship to
God or His mission of salvation. The
proof must lie in the message itself
and he its transforming power upon
the hearts of men.
"All these things will I give thee."
The temptation goes further and con-
cerns the way by which He is to carry
out His mission. to the world. There
