Lesson 11, Baptism and Temptation of Jesus—Matthew 3 13 to 4; 11, Golden Text -This,; is my beloved Son, in whom 1 am wel pleased,—Matthew 3: 17. ANALYSIS, I: Ti1E BAPTISM, 3; 1347. TI. 'rsn TEnxrTAvioN, 4: 1-11. INTRODUCTION-- The Gospels aye practically silent on the events of the life of Jesus between his birth and Public ministry. The only incident. given is that which describes his jour- ney. to Jerusalem, and his conversation with the doctors of the law when he was about twelve, ' I; THE BAPTISM, 3: 1347. V. 13. The pi.aching of John the Baptist had created a ;refound impres- sion on the people of the land, It was felt .that a new religious leader had appeared, end that the promise of God was now to be fulfilled. Jesus 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 seems to feel that there was something about this man that made him different 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 request of Jesus. V. 1a. Jesus urges Join 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 n'o sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. The reason which he gives is that this is a part of the righteous plan laid down for him. Jesus is one with his brethren, he has come to seek and save them, and to do so he must take part in all that is common to Pian. This is an instance of the contplet.; self -dedi- cation and -self-sacrifice of Jesus. This is also an illustration of the law that lie who would have others must be one with them. It was "a sacrament of messianic love." V. 16. At this moment o£ 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 heel 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. 17. 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 hint, and he will not turn to the right or left. However, he must pass through the testing, •wI/ich conies 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 en the subject of the baptism. See ch. 1. II- THE TEMPTAT.IoN, 4: 1-11. Jewish officials, and work along with then, But this he ;rejects. VA:. G, 7. In the last temptation Jesus is carried in vision to the top of a. high mountain, and sees the glory of the word, chiefly the marvels of the Roman Empire, which has its soldiers hi 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 Route. 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? But 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. Prince of Wales Plans Lion Hunt Jungle Adventure and Hun- ter's Life For Six Weeks London.—Plans are now, maturing for the Prince c.f Wale's' African tour, -which begins cerly in the Neve Year. Formalities are to be dispensed with as far as possi'b a, and the royal trav- eller will live as a hunter among the hunters, sitting at the sante camp fires and sharing the same food. 'rico democracy of the jungle will claim for hiin 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 3. At Capetown he will stay at Gov- ernment House as the guest of the Earl of Athlone and Princess Alice, 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 remain about a fortnight in South Africa before proceeding to the lion country in East Africa.

"The most curious fact brought out by Mr. Mathieson is that aefteetcgeat 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.

Patterns sent by an early mai;.. Great Britain and The Slave Trade "It was not until 183 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 filially abolished until 1863," writes Mr. Har- old Cox in the "Sunday Times" in a journey from the Cape to Cairo he will do by air aitd how much by road. They believe he will travel as far northward as possible by motor -car. V. I, This is one of the very signifi- cant events in the life of Jesus, and has 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- tude of the desert to think over the matter, 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 has, as lits guiding -star, to do the will. of 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 far some, but not for hint, since he could not be satisfied with giving material help. Man cannot live by bread alone. He knows that the soul of swan is of in- finite value, and Jesus must try to bring, men back to God, in whom alone we find eternal rest. Vs. 4, 5. The second temptation is usually understood as a suggestion that he should deehismiraculous gifts to impress the people, that he hould go forth as a wonder -worker, and thus -compel 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 could make a compromise with the "'he slaves were always packed, often so closely that they sat between each other's legs; they were chained by the ankle ii1 pairs, their fetters "What was Mr. Wise lust saying— • being not locked, but riveted; and the that he loves his wife?" boarding above then was in many "N o, he said that she, was very Clear cases so low that they could' not even. sit upright.... , to him," "'In the smaller vessels, :Host of the negroes were kept below' during the whole voyage of a month or six weeks.
