Topic—Jesus Tempted.
Passage—Luke 4:1-13.
Text—Hebrew 2:18.
"Far we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feel-
ing of our infirmities; but was in all
points tempted Iike as we are yet
without sin." (Hdb. 4:15).
The common experience of man is
temptation and in nothing did Christ
in His earthly ministry come closer
than. in His struggles against the at-
tacks of Satan. The first such re-
corded encounter is in to -day's les-
son. "In the Divine ideal of Him,
man is not only a sentient being. He
is not an intelligent and immortal
'being only. He is a moral being"
(Austin Phelps).
"The truth is that He (Christ) did
net leave a code ef morals in the ord-
inary sense of the word—that is an
enumeration of actions prescribed and
prohibited." (J. R. Seeley).
"The desire to do right as right—
that alone is morality." (W. S. Lil-
ly). Christ in His own person
wrought out for His own generation
and for all mankind the one and only
code of moral's needed for correct liv-
ing. His struggles against the evil
one were real and gigantic and He
gained the victory leaving us an ex-
ample of how to fight and how to
win.
"Yield not to temptation, for yielding
is sin;
Each victory will help you some other
to win;
Fight manfully onward; dark passions
subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you
through."
• Jesus had just passed through an
illuminating experience -He had left
His home town and travelled to the
region where John the Baptist was
having such success as a preacher of
the prophetical type. Jesus was
there recognized by John as the Mes-
siah. After submitting to baptism,
Jesus was proclaimed by a voice
from heaven to be the beloved Son
of God. "Thou art my beloved Son;
in Thee I am well pleased."
Mark tells us that "immediately
the Spirit driveth him into the wild-
erness." His whole being, body, mind
and spirit, was affected by -this illum-
inating revelation. All thought of
sustenance for his body departed from
him and far forty days his soul was
his chief concern. His body was sus-
tained by the power of God during
this season of extraordinary fasting,
and, all the while, he was wracked by
the tempter who at the close brought
up his strongest forces to hurl them
at the Saviour. These are recorded
by both Matthew and Luke. We see
how artful the adversary was. Jesus
had been proclaimed to be the Son of
God and here was an opportunity to
show that he was really such. He
seems to suggest a doubt of this when
he whispered, "If thou be the Son of
God use your power to satisfy your
hunger." Afterwards in his ministry
he used miraculous means to satisfy
hunger but not His own. Christ re-
plied in the language of Scripture
(Dent. 8:3). "Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of• God."
Barnes in commenting on this an-
swer says: "The substance of his an-
swer is: "It is not so imperiously
necessary that I should have bread as
to make a miracle proper to procure
it. He can support it in other ways,
as well as by bread. He has createl
other things to be eaten, and man
may live by everything that his Maker
has commanded." That form of
tez ptatlen as still With UP. Dar else
eaMeteaces and e r'ar is ares often
taken advantage of try ,Satan to tempt
us. Jesus had left the wiideaness
when Satan next texn'pted Hilm. .0
was on the top of 'aoane Menntaan
peobalbly in the vicinity .of Jerusalem
for once writer says of such: "This
part of the mountain overlooks the
mountains of Arabia, the oountry of
Gilead, the country of the Amorites,
the plains of 'Moab, the plains of Jer-
icho, the river Jordan and the whole
extent of the Dead Sea." There did
not, therefore need to be a miracle
performed in order to let Jesus view
"the kingdomsof the world." It is
not at all probable that mote way
here intended than the kingdoms of
Palestine, and the immediate vicinity.
The towns, cities, m'euntains, the rich-
es of the whole land Satan claimed
and not unjustly for wickedness a-
bounded. Regarding Jesus as the
Messiah 'coming to take over His
kingdom, Satan proposed to help Him
if He would trust to him rather than
to God. Jesus drove the evil one from
His presence by "Get thee hence Sat-
an; for it is written, Thou shalt wor-
ship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve." God's sovereign-
ty is supreme.
Satan's next attack was made
when Jesus was in the temple at Jer-
usalem. He was on the top of Solo-
mon's porch in all probability for
Josephus says one could scarcely look
down from there without being dizzy.
Satan was present and proposed to
Jesus that he should east himself
down thence; and if he was the Son
of God it could do Him no harm. There
was a promise that he should be pro-
tected (Ps. 91:11, 12). To this pas-
sage of Scripture Jesus replied with
another which forbids such an act
(Deet. 6:16). "Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God." Thus Satan was
foiled in his attempt to destroy Christ
and he departed from Him for a sea-
son.

Facts About Africa.
Nearly one-fourth of the earth's
land surface is comprised within the
Continent of Africa.
It is as far around the coast of
Africa as it is around the world.
Every eighth person of the world's
population lives in the Dark Contin-
ent. The blacks double their num-
bers every forty years and the whites
every eighty years.
There are 843 languages and dia-
lects in use among the blacks of 'Afri-
ca. Only a few of the languages
have been reduced to writing.
The coal fields of Africa aggregate
300,000 square miles; its capper fields
equal those of North America and
Europe combined, and it has undevel-
oped iron ore amounting to five times
that of North America.
Africa has forty thousand miles of
river and lake navigation and water
powers aggregating ninety times
those of Niagara Falls.
One area in Africa unoccupied by
missionaries is three times the size
of New England, a second would
make four states like New York, a
third would cover eight 'owes, and a
fourth is eighteen times the size of
Ohio. Throughout Africa there is one
missionary for every 133,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent is now
under European flags. France has a
colony in Africa twenty times the size
of France itself. The British flag
flies over a territory as large as the
United States.—(World Outlook.

ANGI EP'S
ANGIER'S EMULSION is a very
effective remedy to overcome and
resist the respiratory digestive and
intestinal effects of Colds, Grippe or
Influenza. It lessens the soreness of
the throat and chest, loosens the
phlegm and thus, without the ne-
cessity of depressing narcotics, eases
and quiets the cough.
ANGIER'S EMULSION is sooth-
ing to the stomach and intestinal
areas. It improves the appetite and
digestion and exerts a pronounced
tonic and invigorating influence
upon the whole system. It also main-
tains a normal healthy condition in
the bowels so essential for a prompt
recovery.
ANGIER'S EMULSION,is equally
effective for adults and children.

pore or Shanghai. If so you were
wrong. In southern and central Asia,
Peshawar is known as the City of a
Thousand and One Sins—of wild gam-
bling, strange intoxications, sudden
death, and all manner of evil. Just
now it is also one of the critical dan-
ger points in the world.
Britain has had difficulties over the
great spaces of the Asian sub -contin-
ent since the beginning of the revolu-
tion in India. The warlike tribes of
the untamed Northwest Frontier have
taken advantage of this during the
past few months. Mlost.of the raids
have been directed against Peshawar
and the villages of the surrounding
plain. In a large movement, begun
by the powerful and fierce Afridis,
the mountaineers have swarmed down
from the rugged fastnesses of their
hills, killing and looting as they cane.
The wickedness and importance of
Peshawar and its eminence in the cur-
rent scheme of things is quickly sum-
med up. Khyber Pass, which travers-
es the vast mountain barrier that
guards India, is the great and dan-
gerous gateway to Britain's fabulous
possessions in Southern Asia. Pesha-
war stands right in front of the In-
dian entrance to the Khyber. The
great hordes of wild, battle -loving
tribesmen who live in the craggy
mountains adjacent to the Pass have
never been subjugated, and the
wealthy city on the plain is their
chief goal. As well as being of out-
standing political and military im-
portance, Peshawar is, perhaps the
world's greatest caravansary, because
the principal caravan route• from cen-
tral Asia leads through the Khyber.
Half the races of Asia gather there
for trade and diversion. As well, the
city is the metropolis and amusement
ground for the Pathans, mighty war-
riors of the hills.
Peshawar is the. Paris of the Path-
ans, and the thousand and first sin
of its inhabitants is the sin of faith-
lessness and treachery. Just to il-
lustrate this: seeeral years ago when
the British were building their mili-
tary roads, telegraph lines and wire-
less towers in Khyber Pass, they had
great difficulty with snipers. One
lone sniper kept monotonously pick-
ing off British officers, until, one day,
a young tribesman volunteered to go
out alone to see if he could get the
sniper. An hour later they heard the
crack of a rifle and saw a body come
hurtling over the cliff. Later the
colonel called the youngster in to con-
gratulate him. He shrugged and
laughed. Said he:
"Oh, I don't deserve any credit.
You see, I knew all his Tittle ways.
He was my father."
Were you to scour the globe you
could find no fiercer fighters, no more
treacherous neighbors than the Path-
ans of India's Northwest Frontier.
Every British aviator who flies over
this corner of Asia carries a ransom
letter sewn into the lining of his coat,
stating that if the bearer is returned
safely to the British lines his res-
cuers will receive a reward of ten
thousand rupees (about three thous-
and dollars). This was absolutely
necessary, because the tribesmen in
the past simply turned over any avi-
ator who had been forced to land to
their women, who tortured him to
death by cutting him into little piec-
es.
The region where the most warlike
tribes live is called Independent Ter-
ritory, because the inhabitants pay
allegiance to neither the king of the
Afghans nor the Viceroy of India. No-
where is there a more fascinating and
romantic region—lawless, wholly or-
iental in character, and untouched by
civilization save from troublesome
proficiency in the use of western leth-
al weapons.
The tribesmen, for the most part,
are magnificent, stalwart fellows
with bulging turbans, gold -embroider-
ed vests, baggy pantaloons and loop -
the -loop shoes. Their bold defiant
look does not encourage the white
sahib to swagger and strut as he is
inclined to do in some parts of the
Orient. Old and young have an all -
consuming passion for loot. They look
like hungry, human wolves --and that
is exactly what they are. But they
are handsome, and hospitable when
they want to be. And we cannot help
but admire and like thein.
The British hate been trying, to
force or cajole them: into Carving
homes for them'seltes for generations
but they merely earv'e the in i'.ards out

Great as a city, Peshawar is still
no more than a place where people
camp and then move •on. It has a
pervasive air„ of impermanence. What
beauty there is bears the stamp of
gaudy transience. Everything has
the savor of buying and selling and
first among the things bought and
sold are pleasure, amusement, vice.
The Paris of the Pathans has the sins
of the Pathan—falseness, drugs, mur-
der, love.
The favored drugs are hashish, a
murderous drink of central Asia .call-
ed bhang, and churrus, which they
smoke for the dreams it gives them.
There is plenty of evidence of drugs.
You hear a sound of coughing on a
balcony above. There seems to be a
chorus of galloping consumptives up
there, and the coughs sound even above
the din of the coppersmith's bazaar.
The coughers are smoking churrus.
One of the vilest and most seductive
drugs of Central Asia, its subtle ef-
fects and queer 'mental sensation's
grip the addict until, he becomes its
slave. In body and mind the smoker
goes to pieces. He coughs incessant-
ly. He has delicious dreams of para-
dise for a little while, but when the
temporary effects pass off his flimsy
paradise is turned into a hell on earth.
Bhang is the drug of murder, and
murder lies deep in the heart of Pesh-
awar. 'Made of churrus, milk, sugar
and water, the drink brings out all
the murder that lies in the ferocious
nature of the Pathan. Under` its in-
fluence he goes wild, and may murder
anyone.
Murder also goes hand in hand with
religion in this evil city. The Pathan
is a fanatical Mohammedan, and to
go ghazi is a familiar term among
Britishers of the Northwest Frontier.
A Moslem goes ghazi when he is in-
spired with a wild and overwhelming
desire to assure himself of the houris
of paradise by killing an infidel, such
as a Hindoo or preferably a dog ef a
Christian. He may go ghazi at any
moment and become a crazy murderer.
This Peshawar of the thousand and
one sins is the old, walled native city.
There is another quarter which, While
perhaps with its proportion of sins,
does not have them in such gaudy
variety. The British town lies out-
side the old walls and consists of var-
ious sorts of military headquarters,
clubs, barracks and 'bungalows, an ex-
ceedingly western -looking conglomer-
ation. It is heavily guarded, and sur-
rounded by electrified barbed wire. In
the ordinary Pathan raids, which are
always occurring, a gang of desper-
adoes will invade the old city and loot
and kill and get away before the sol-
diers arrive. In the recent ambitious
advance of the Afridis against Pesha-
war, the manoeuvres have been some-
what more military in style. The
tribesmen pay attention to the Brit-
ish quarter. They come up as close
as they dare and snipe at the build-
ings and bungalows.
If perhaps a British woman is kill-
ed or too many soldiers, something
drastic has to be done. Heavy rein-
forcements of troops are brought up.
The tribesmen are driven away from
Peshawar, and a series of punitive
expeditions follows. Airplane- scout
and drop their bombs. Columns ad-
vance into the savage mountain coun-
try, over rocky passes, through nar-
row defiles. Behind every rock and
from every available place of cover
marksmen blaze away at the soldiers.
Now and then a little hand-to-hand
fighting takes place. The soldiers ad-
vance, beat the enemy in skirmishes,
capture villages. But it all means
little—the tribesmen scatter among
the hills, where they would have to
be run down one by one.
It was only a few years ago that
one of the biggest battles in the war
between the British and the mountain
tribes was fought. It occurred in a
Acids In Stomach
Cause Indigestion
Create Sourness, Gas and Pain.
How to Treat.
Medical authorities state the r-
Iy nine -tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning,
gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to
an excess •of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach. The delicate stomach lin-
ing is irritated, digestion is delayed
and food sours, causing the disagree-
able symptoms which every stomach
sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestants are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
and instead get from any druggist
some Bisurated !Magnesia and take a
teaspoonful of powder or four tablets
in water right after eating. This
sweetens the stomach, prevents the
formation of excess acid' and there is
no sourness, gas ;or pain. Bisurated
Magnesia (in powder or tablet form
---never liquid or milk) is harmless
to the stomach, inexpensive to take
and is the most efficient form of mag-
nesia for stomach purposes. It is
used by thousands of people who en-
joy then' meals with no more fear of
itdigestion. '

desolate gorge called the Anhai Tan-
gai, and is a very good example of
its kind. A British ammunition con-
voy comes winding through the val-
ley. It is a sparkling morning. Sun-
light glitters on the bayonets. The
heliograph of the advance guard is
at work.
But a moment later the scene
changes with the crack of a Mahsud
rifle. The officer falls. The camels
crowd together burbling, while the
native cameleers take to their heels.
But the Tomsiies, the escort of the
conMoy, open fire. ,A runner is sent
balk for reinforcements. He takes
five steps and falls. Another Tomrny
tries. Then a third—without success.
The rattle of the Mahsud rifle fire
increases in intensity. Behind the
crouching mountaineers are their wo-
men and their children with ammuni-
tion and water. Nea the riflemen
crouch men with a•ggers, whetting
their knives on their boots. The joy
of Paradise is in the eyes of the fan-
atical knifesmen. Suddenly their
leader stands erect. With the name
of Allah on their lips they dash forth
and disembowel every British soldier
who is still alive.
News o£ this raid got back to the
headquarters of the British Army, at
Dere Ismail Khan. The best of John
Bull's fighting men, sent to subdue
the tribesmen, advanced towards the
heights of Kot Kie. Five thousand
Mahsud sharpshooters awaited them
behind rocks.
Just over the hill were fourteen
thousand more, with ten thousand wo-
men and boys acting as carriers,
Great Britain's casualties that day
were nearly a thousand, but the
tribesmen lost four times that num-
ber, and the power of that tribe was
broken. Such is the way of the em-
pire.
'cent. of the armed men, and an armed
man, according to a New York district
attorney, is a killer or potential kilo
ler, making exception of course, for
those whose legal occupation makes
it necessary that they should .be arm-
ed. It is legal to buy revolvers in
New Jersey. It is legal to buy ma-
chine guns anywhere and carry them,
through the streets, and of late years
the machine gun has become the fav-
orite of the murderers who are in.
business in a big way.
An article in Liberty says that
most of the murders committed in the
United States by thugs are done with
the so-called Spanish guns. These
fare made not in Spain, but perhapm
in Japan or China after .Amerieair
patents. They are of inferior work-
manship and therefore can be bought
cheap. Their other advantage is that
it is impossible to trace them through
their numbers. Such weapons are
smuggled into the country, perhaps,
in separate pieces, which makes it dif-
ficult to detect them. They find their
way to wholesalers, who resemble-
them,
esemblethem, and thence through the retail-
ers they come eventually into the un-
derworld. But it is the machine gun
which is used for slaughter, and as
remarked it is as easy to buy a ma-
chine gun in the United States as it
is to buy a bird cage. These weapons
have been improoed year after year
until they are hardly bulkier than are
oId-fashioned Colt revolver. T h e
IThompson gun weighs nine pounds
and is 18 inches long. It fires 50-
! shots, and these can be discharged
in a second, while another clip con -
I taining 50 more can be inserted in the
weapon in half a second.
The permitted retail sale of machine
guns is an absurdity. Machine guns
are used only for one purpose, whe-
ther in peace or war, and that is the
killing of human beings, They are
not used for target practice, They
are not used for game hunting. They
are the weapons of a murderer as
certainly as the jemmy or the mask
or the skeleton key is used by the
burglar. It would be a simple matter
for the United States Government to
pass a law making the private manu-
facture• or sale of these weapons of
war illegal, and it is a law which it
would be possible to enforce for ma-
chine guns could not be turned out as
stealthily as bootleg whiskey. It can
be said with confidence that machine
guns are 'bought only by criminals, or
by concerns like 'batiks which find it:
necessary to increase their armam-
ents to keep pace with that of their
enemies. At the other extreme from
machine guns are the pistols which
are made in the form of fountain pens
and which will discharge a bullet that
wil 'penetrate a board, or a human
skull, which is more to the purpose.
There is also to be considered the
fact that Americans have been from
the earliest times carriers of weapons.
It was once necessary in pioneering
days when 'Indians were supposed toy
lurk behind every bush. Then as .the
frontier was pushed further south and
west there were the daily collisions
with Mexicans and the bad mien who
flourished in advance of the reign of
law. There were vigilantes commit-
tees. It !became customary for every-
one to carry a revlolver, some for self
protection, others for more sinister
purposes. In the south the gentle-
men always went heeled. One would'
no sooner appear in public without a
revolver than without a shirt. Immi-
gration from southern Europe
brought its hordes .of men accustom-
ed to carrying ,knives and dirks, men
accustomed to settle quarrels with
their fists. So the habit of carrying
revolvers spread in answer to this
threat, but before the war it was svp-
pesed to have fallen •somewhat into
desuetude. Then the gangsters came
on the scene in response to the lure
of huge profits to be made out of i1 -
licit liquor selling, and as their bus-
ness grew they advanced from re-
volvers to machine guns, thus creat-
ing one of the most serious problems
the American police have ever been
required to face.
ALWAYS ON• HAND
To be always kept on hand is a
sure sign of appreciation of a medi-
cine. Baby's Own Tablets hold this
enviable distinction in thousands of
homes from one end' of Canada to
the other. Mrs. Ernest Gallant,
Shediac, N.B., is one of the young
mothers who appreciates the Tablets.
She says:—"Baby's Own Taiblets are
wonderful. I have used them for my
little one for the past two years and
would not be without them. They
quickly banish, constipation and colic
and keep baby happy."
Baby's Own Tablets are a mild bur
thorough laxative. They regulate the
stomach and bowels; relieve indiges-
tion; break up colds and promote
healthful sleep. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Wiliams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
UNITED STATES FLOODED WITH
MURDER TOOLS
Some students of American crime,
many of them veteran police officers,
believe that a tremendous help in the
effort to put down gansters and gun-
men would be a federal law prohibit-
ing .the sale of firearms except to
designated persons who can give a
good reason why they should carry a
weapon. Se'v'eral states have such
laws now. New York has the Sulli-
van Iaw, which on occasion has teeth
in it, and which has led New York
gunmen to adopt novel means of mur-

law declares that a man who carries
a weapon, unless licensed to do so,
commits a misdemeanor. If the man
has been previously convicted of a
felony the carrying of the weapon is
deemed a felony, too. Far a while this
law was a powerful weapon in the
hands of the police. They could ar-
rest a known gangster whom they
found it difficult to prove guilty of
any crime, and if he had a weapon in
his pocket they could get a convic-

waft the streets with his pockets turn-
ed inside out and sewn together. This
not only proved that he had no weap-
on, but it made it difficult for the po-
lice to arrest him and report that up-
on being searched a revolver had been
found.
So this apparently unarmed killer
would walk the streets in search of
his prey. When he sighted him an
accomplice would morose swiftly to his
side, the accomplice in some eases be-
ing a smartly attired woman, a re-
volver would be pasted over and the
murder would take place. The weapon
would then be returned, and the as-
sassin if arrested would be found un-
armed. But there are so many arm-

New York that the task of .the police
is almost impossible. They are riot
