Temptation must be assailed, Virtue is something preserved; it is ecenething attained; 11 is victory. it is not the maintaining of ourselves as we ore, .10111 the mounting to what we ought to be. The life that moves on to larger and better being misses the assaults of many etherwise damaging temptations, for it simply sweeps them before it.

The Tabernacle.—In its original form the tabernacle was called simply the "lent of meeting," in the sense of being the place where Jehovah met with his people, Israel, and their leader, Moses, This first "tent" was probably similar to olluse nettled tents made of camel's heir, only larger and or somewhat su- perior workmanship. This earliest pro- visio»al sanctuary of the Hebrews seems to have had no established ritual and no prieethoed. It was pitched outside the camp of !seed and ento it the peorle went as to an oracle: "And it came to pass that everyone that sought Jehovah went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.' The tabernacle described Exod. 40 and preceding chapters as constructed by Moses at the command of Jehovah is often called the Sinailic labernecle." Its epeclitc Hebrew name translated "inbernaclo" means 111000115', "dwelling pinee," that is, of Jehovah, In contrast to the original "tent of meeting" thls sanctuary Wag an elaborate and sumptuous structure, made of most prectious materials, and with the greatest skill at expert 1)0313' 11100.

Though it is ten years since this week began, no wine is to be put on the Mar- kel berore the autumn of 1008.
