Golden Text—This is my beloved Son, in whom 1 am wel pleased. -Matthew 3: 17., ANALYSIS. I: THE BAPTISM, 3: 13-17. 13. THE •TEMP3ATION, 4: 1-11. INeecumeTION -.The Gospels . are practically silent on the events of the Rife • of Jesus between his • birth and public. ministry. The only incident given is that which describes his jour- ney to JerusMem, and his conversation with the doctors of the law when he was about twelve. 1: THE BA'Ttsive 3: 13-17. • V. 13. The pi -aching of John the. Baptist had created a rrofound nnpres- sion'on the people of the land. It was felt that a new religious' leader bad appeared, and that the promise of God was now to be fulfilled. Jest's would naturally hear of this great revival,. ' and he. decided that he must take some part in it, either to show his sympathy With it, or else to carry it farther on. Accordingly he goes to the Jordan where. John 'was baptizing crowds of people, and he presents himself as a candidate. V. 14. However, John teems to feel that there was something about this man that made him differeut from all others, and. he therefore hesitated. Baptism to him was :the symbol of repentance, and John did not .think that Jesus belonged to this class of sinners. He, therefore, opposes the Bequest of Jesus. V. 15, Jesus urges John to baptize him; but from this we must not infer' that Jesus was conscious of sinfulness,. or that he wished to confess his need of repentance. Jesus knew no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. The reason which he gives is that this is a past of the righteous plan laid 'down for him. Jesus is one with his brethren, he has conte to seek and save them, and -to do so he must take part in all that is common to man. This is an instance of the complete self -dedi- cation and self sacrifice of Jesus. This is also an illustratio:, of the law that he who would have others must be one with them. It was "a sacrament of messianic love." V. 16. At this moment of self -sur- render, Jesus receives the recognition of divine favor. The heavens open and the spirit descends like a dove, in outward form. We are not to say that the spirit had never visited Jesus be- Ore, but now comes in fulness and equips him for the great mission of the Messiah for which he has been' anointed. V. 17. The voice from heaven ex- presses the entire satisfaction which God has with his Son. Jesus is now conscious of his great work. Hence- forth the way is clear before him, and Le will not turn to the right or left. • However, he must pass through the testing, which comes to all those who dedicate their lives to noble service. This is what we have to study in the Temptation. In the Gospel of John we `find further and important teaching ion the subject of the baptism. See Ch. 1. - Il. THE TEMPTATION, 4: 1-11. V. 1. This is one of the very signifi- cant events in the life of Jesus, and - hes at all times greatly interested thoughtful students of the Bible. Jesus had' learned at the'Baptism that he was to fulfill the office of the Messiah, and the question inevitably arose as to the way in which he was to accom- plish this. He goes out into the soli- eude of the desert to think over the *natter, and then temptations gather /round the subject of his mission. These three temptations that come rep- resent the different ways by which he might carry on his task.' But -they are all finally rejected, because they are not according to the will of God. Jesus bas, as his guiding -star, to do the will ed his Father. Vs. 3, 4. He is tempted to turn the `stones into bread, and this may mean that it was suggested to hint that he 'should be'a social reformer, bringing bread to the hungry, and healing to the sick, reforming society. It would be a noble enough work for some, but not for him, since he could not be satisfied with giving material help. Man cannot live by' bread alone. He knows that the soul of man is of in- finite value, and Jesus must try to bring men back to Gus', in whom alone we find eternal rest. Vs. 4, 5. The second 'temptation is usually understood as a suggestion ''that he should usehis,miraculous gifts Ito impress the people, that hehould go forth as a wonder -worker, and thus bompel the admiration of the world. It is perhaps possible that the pinnacle Of the temple here stands for the en - !tire system of the old priesthood, and that Jesus was wondering whether he Jewish officials, and work along with them. But this he rejects. Vs. 6, 7. In the last temptation Jesus is carried in vision to the top of a high mountain, and sees theglory of the world, chiefly the marvels of the Roman Empire, which has its soldiers in every land, which is able to dictate laws to mankind, and whose force none can withstand. Jesus wonders whe- ther he might not work in peace with Rome. Instead of antogonizing the Emperor, could' he not come to terms with this mighty ruler, and use their help to spread his own teaching of the kingdom? Bht this would be treason against God. He cannot use the forces of the world. He must` rely on spirit- ual influence. He 'must trust the Father.

Formalities are to be dispensed with as far as possib'ie,'and the royal tr•av- slier will live as a huntbr' anion; the hunters, sitting at the same camp fires and sharing the same 'food. The democracy of the jungle will claim 'for him six glorious weeks, and in shorts and open -neck shirt he will Seek to -bag• those animals—the ele- phant, the, rhinoceros, the buffalo, and the lion—which eluded his gun during the last year's visit, dramatically cur- tailed by the news of the King's ill- ness. "The Prince's program will be a very elastic one," said a member of the Prince's household recently, "and it is impossible now to say precisely what his movements will be. "Captain Denys Finch -Hatton, brother of the Earl of Winchilsea, who is a big -game hunter, and who conducted the Prince's big -game hunt- ing last year,will again be in charge." Provisional arrangements have been made 'for the Prince to sail from Southampton for South Africa on the Union -Castle liner, Kenilworth, on January 8. At Capetown he will stay at Gov- ernment House es the guest of the Earl of Athlone and Priuoess AIice, Countess of Athlone. This is a long overdue visit, as the Prince would have spent last Christmas- with them had it not been for the King's illness: He will remail) about a fortnight in South .Africa before proceeding to the lion country in East Africa. Already. Nairobi is anticipating the Prince's tour and the people of Kenya. are speculating on how much of his journey from the Cape to Cairo he will do by air and how much by road. They believe he will travel as far northward as possible by motor -car: "What was Mr. Wise ust saying— that he loves his wife?' "No, he said that she was very dear to him."

Enclose 20e in Great .r,ritain and The Slave Trade "It was not until 1833 that the Bri- tish Parliament reached the point of prohibiting slavery in British 'Pos- sessions. Slavery continued, however, for many years in other countries; in the United States it was not finally abolished until 1868," writes Mr. Har- old Cox in the "Sunday Times" in a review of "Great Britain and the Slave Trade, 1839-1865," by William Law Mathieson. "The most curious fact brought out by Mn Mathieson is that after Great Britain had for several decades been carrying on her war against the slave trade a reaction developed and several prominent English politicians demand- ed that we should abandon the task. How far this reaction was due to com- mercia]influences is not quite clear, "Here is Mr. Mathieson's descrip- tioon of the condition of the slaves on board the ships that carried them across the Atlantic; "'he slaves were always packed, often so closely that they sat between each other's legs; they were chained by the ankle in pairs, their fetters being not locked but riveted; and the The grand current of events runs not downward or backwards.

Said the rather pomp- ous proprietor to them: "And what do you want, my dears?" „Two six- penny, packets of chocolate, please." As he was serving them he asked them what were their names and how old they were. They told him that they were Jean and Mary, and that they were six years old. "And when is your birthday, Jean?" he inquired, "On October the tentb." "And yours, Mary?" "On October the tenth, too." "Then you must, of course, be twins." "011, no, eve aren't," they replied in unison. 'Then if you are not twins, what are you?" he cried. "We're Could make a compromise with the what's left of triplets.
