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.

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

"On October the tentb." "And yours,
