As we read the fourth chapter of Matthew we find the events which ledup to the giving of the Lord's Prayer' by Jesus to his disciples. Jesus was led of the spirit into 'the wilderness to be thelre tempted by' the devil. Jesus had fasted for forty days and the devil thought it would be a splendid opportunity to induce Him • to have the stones there about turned into bread. Failing in this the' devil took Hina into the Holy city and tried to persuade Him to cast Himself down from one( of the 'pinnacles of the temple, telling Him `that the angels would protect Him from harm, and would bear Him up in their hands. Finally again failing in this,'the adversary took Christ up into a high mountain and showed "Hine all the Kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and promised to give them all to Him' if He would fall down and worship him. All these things meant nothing to •Jesus. His faith in His Heavenly that the devil would say could tempt Him. Het 'was without sin. We, at times feel sorely tempted and on many •olcasions we • fall simp- ly because we do not have enough confidence that' God will keVep up from temptation and from falling, People sometimes say that they have fallen into sin, and the only way they have been able to overcome it was by leaving the Christianity which they had been following and taking up some new religion.( *One can hardly realize the sense of that, because Gad is the greatest Power there eyer has' been or ever will •be in the world and if we just pray to Him, knowing that if we are sincere that He can and will keep us from any temptation. It may e that we have some temptation which con- tinually comes to us, the devil thinks that because/ we have fallen once that he had a hold on us and that we will. continue to fall. The devil can have no power over us if we just • Father was so great that nothing give ourselves over to Ohrist. There is no temptation Christ cannot give us the mastery over. Next time we are tempted to do something wrong lot as just go to Christ and tell Him that He can keep us from falling and ask Him to do so We will indeed be surprised at the result. As the devil left Jesus when he saw ,that he had failed so will he leave us. The same chapter_ tells us of the choosing of Peter, Andrew, James and John as the first four disciples. These men were all fishermen. Thgit position in life was lowly. How glhd we are of that. Had they been men of very high position . in life the vast majority of us would have felt that there was no place for us. In fact all the disciples were men who earned their living in a very humble way. There is no one who is too lowly to be a disciple of •Christ. He Himself spent His early years in. a carpenter shop. He was lowly, and He loved the common • people. By this time the fame of Jesus had gone about the country side and people flocked to see and hear Him and to try in some way to understand the miracles which He performed. The end of this chapter tells how Christ seeing the multitude which had followed Him went up into a mountain. Often we find that He went away by Himself or with His disciples. There is a wonderful lesson for us to learn from this. How often we feel that in order to .have a good time we must be with a crowd. Some of the most happy times that Chris- tian people have ever had have been the moments and hours spent alone reading and meditating on God's word and praying for His help in our daily walk. We say "I do not knot anything about that. I am not a Christian." Why are we not? The invitation has beep given to us as well as to everyone else. If we will not accept Him we will have to an- swer for it some day. We talkaboutthe dance hall and roam. wmoommaammemimmom~wasak What Does Inflation Mean to You and Me ?

How would we like to pay $1.10 a dozen for eggs? You say it can't happen? Don't forget it's already happened right here in this Domin- ion? during the last ear. And it will happen again ... unless we're on our toes to keep the cost of living down. Every. Canadian must • face this challenge! It's.our responsibility. leCe But be of good heart. Living costs have risen 'LESS in Canada than anywhere else. Canada leads' the .world in the fight against inflation. HERE'S HOW IT'S DONE— In 1941, Canada determined to control the cost of living. Price ceilings were established on wages, • rentals and, commodities; subsidies 'were paid on essential foods;.goods in short. supply were rationed... so that everyone could get their fair share at a price they could afford to pay! But control of prices is a two-way responsibility. It needs your support a• of it to continue working effectively. So make this Pledge Today PROMISE to give my support to keeping the cost of living down., I will buy only wbat 1 - need -I will observe the ceil- ing whether buying of selling% goods or services. I'll pay off' old debts, save for the future, ;tiniest in Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates -and will support taxes which help lower the cost of living.

The pleasure re- ceived from those places are nothing. in comparison to that great joy one receives from attending some place' of Bible Study and prayer. ; , A recent letter spoke of a gather. ung in .a home where Christ -iso given first place. Friends were invited in and the evening was spent; with the twelve followers!. of the meek and lonely Jesus studying God's word and in prayer. The whole tone of the letter expressed the great joy which had been theirs and of how the mem- ory of it would remain with them. Then we, have Christ teaching the Beautitudes. What a comfort they have been all down through the ages and will be to the. end of time! We can visualize °hrist talking; to His disciples. This', was one of the times He talked intimately to them,' -chapter six commences with the worning that we .be careful how we keep to ourselves what we do for others. Often we hear people talk about what they have done fqr some- one else. We do the same thing our- selves and as we tell it we take the greatest joy out -of it for ourselves and at times we make it very ean- barrassing for the one we have tried to lielp. If a friend or could we call him or her a friend helped us financially or in some other way and they 'went around telling all about it would we like it? Perhaps we ,would feel that we would rather that one had not tried to help us at all. It is nice for us to have the feeling that we want to do something to help someone else, but when we have done it let us just' forget all about it. We have benefitted by the act, maybe more than the other. Let it go at that and not make it a matter of town gossip and -thus perhaps hurt the ono we have tried to help. Make it a rule of our lives --"let not thy left' hand know what thy right hand doeth." Following that Christ gives the manner in which we should pray. The Father to whom we pray is not ours alone. He is the F'athed of all since the time of •Chris't and will be- long toall people who come after us until, the end of time. Why should we honor Him as our Father. (1) He is present everywhere with us that is if we are in places where Christ would go. There are many plates in the world where Christ is not, and if we persist in going those places then we must leave Christ out- side. Have we 'ever tried to imagine what our lifd would be like of we did not have the assurance that God was our Heavenly Father. When we look about us we see God every where—Well; perhaps not every where for at times we do not see Him in the faces and action of men and women, even boys and girls with whom we comet in contact day by day. Do you and I show Christ in our lives? We must confess that very often wedo not. There are times when perhaps we show to the world that we belong to' His'adver- sary, beet yet 'we try to make people believe that we > belong to Christ. How grieved He must be about it. (2) God is infinite purity and holiness. How. anxious He is that we should follow in His footsteps! (3) God is mighty and powerful—' There is nothing He cannot ,do and will not do for us in His own way, if we jest: ask Hiin. (4) Then He is an all loving Fas. there -Many of us know how loving He is by the wonderful things He iad done for us, things which only anyone who loved us would have the patience to try to da for us. (5) He is the Ituler of Heaven as well as ,of Earth. We may thing we can do as we like here, but the tiine will come when we will realize that God is Ruler over all. His' name should be -hely to us and we should elevate Hini above everything . else in our thoughts' and in our desires and we should .reverence Hian with all His, attributes, . power, wisdom, justice and mercy.
