Hebrews 4:15. THE LESSON IN. ITS SETTING Time. --The spring of A.D. 27. Plaice. A wilderness, probably can the west side of the Jordan, though its location is not defin- itely known. Satan's Desire 1. "To be tempted of the 'devil." Satan's deep and con- stant desire, as the enemy of God, is to thwart God'a purposes, to prevent God from saving man, and to make it impossible for the K'ngdora of God to be fulfilled. 2. "And when he had fasted goiter days and forty nights, he afterward hungered." We should always bear in mind that our Lard's temptation occurred imme- diately after His baptism, that is, inlnnediateiy after the hour He was officially anointed by the Holy Spirit to undertake his great ministry. The number `forty' frequently recurs in the scrip- tures in relation to circumstances not altogether dissimilar from this event. 3. "And the tempter came and add unto him, If thou art the .son of God, command that these stones becoine bread," The temp- ter puts the matter in this form in order to. invite Jesus to estab- lish the fact by a miracle and in order to intimate that he certain- ly has the right thus to satisfy his hunger. Jesus was tempted to work a miracle in order to re- lieve his hunger. But he never performed miracles merely for his own benefit; they were all wrought to do good to others, and to attest his divine mission. 4. "But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live y bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." In each of the three temptations, Christ answers Thy quoting a passage from the Old Testament Scriptures. What As this word of God which we are to flash through an falsehood like the thrust of a gleaming sword? It is the word of divine truth; it is the word of divine romise, laying God's strengthen - ng comfort upon the heart. Note Carefully that the moment Christ wields the Word of God, Satan aleases a particular temptation. 5. "Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6. and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, on their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone." Jesus stands on the lofty pinnacle of the Tower, or of the Temple porch. He is surveying the scene and by his side is the tempter, watching him. This was the time to act upon his trust. But so to have done would have been not trust -far less the hero- ism of faith -but presumption. Such temptation as was here pre- sented to our Lord can occur in our own lives. Unity of Scripture 7. "Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God." Once again our Lord turns to the arm- ory of the Word of God. Only as we enter into the unity of Scriture, as it balances, completes and explains itself, are we armed against error and delusion, excess or defect, 8. "Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high moun- tain, and showeth kiln all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them: 9. and he said unto him, all these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." The one thing that Satan wanted was so simple to state yet so vast in its implica- tions, namely that Jesus should fall down and worship him. Whom we worship, we serve. By bowing down we submit to the one before whom we throw ourselves pros- trate. Should Jesus have bowed his knee to this monster of in- iquity, then he would have come under Satan's power. Two Principles :10. "Then saith jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt warship the Lord tliy God, and him only shalt thou serve." This passage reveals the two fundamental prin- ciples dominant in our Lord's life, namely: an intimate knowledge of what the will of God is in any particular crisis of life, and, see - wilily, a determination to adhere to the will of God, no matter what the cast might be. When these two principles are domin- ate in elle life of any believer, that life is safe from collapsing in the hour of temptation; that '4tite -vill be one constant triumph, ,of irnt°1'easing strength and of abiding ;toy. 104 ANDY HARDY TAKES A BRIDE Yes, it's Andy Hardy -all grown up and playing the real life role of bridegroom. The 21 -year-old film star is pictured with his 19 -year-old bride, the former Ava Gardner, of Wilson, N.C., shortly after their wedding in the Presbyterian Church of Ballard, Calif. Winston Churchill Values Punctuality Premier Winston Churchill is one of the world's busiest men and to such men punctuality is a virtue. Concerning this virtue Mr. Churchill has expressed him- self as in agreement with the sentiments of a friend who could never understand the point of view of persons who make a habit of being 10 minutes late for each appointment throughout the day. Mr. Churchill expressed the belief that in the case of a late start the only straightforward course is to cut out one or two of the appointments altogether so as to catch up, the theory be- ing that it is better that one notability should be turned away expostulating than that nine de- putations should each fume for 10 minutes in • a , stuffy ante- room. Dog -No Asthma No Dog -Asthma Scientists may - and do snicker in their beards all they please, but here is J. R. Mosley's story and he's sticking to it: -- Five years ago Mosley, suffer- ing from asthma, borrowed a Mexican chihuahua from a friend and gave it the run of the house. His asthma disappeared. But the friend's asthma re- turned, so Mosley lied to return the dog. Between asthmatic gasps, he ordered a chihuahua from Mexico. The dog arrived, and Mosley's asthma departed. But the dog died, and the asthma returned. So he ordered still .another chi- huahua flown to Memphis. Pfft - away went the asthma. Then the new dog ran away. Presto, asthma! The other day the chihuahua returned. Pita, no asthma! 4401001140040 0,4•41•14.40100•••.4040144014 Sy William u ions YY ORLD Ferguson co.ARi031svIirN SERYICF.INC.

Describing the setup of the Russian army he said that immediately behind the front line army there was the eng- ineering and technical department, the railworker gangs and groups of others whose job it is to got into working order all means of communication, railway stations, bridges, and the most essential ser- vices. "They call then second llue sol- diers and they are filled with the same high spirit as their brothers in front of them," said the speak- er, "The railways are put in order with a speed that is almost unbe- lievable. in one very important spot, half a mile of destroyed rail- way lines were repaired in three hours. At an important junction work was -carried on day and night. Fires were lit to give light and warmth for the men working on the trains and other equipment. Interminable supply columns move steadily along. "Behind the technical and sup- ply departments, come the people who used to live in the villages. and towns. They came back most of them to find their homes destroyed or their property stolen. Govern- ment committees are there to give immediate assistance and within two or three weeks life begins to return to normal" a a a The latest call for salvage war service by the Boy Scouts is a. request for the collection of bottle caps by Scouts as far east as Que- bec City and Ontario as fair west as Windsor. The caps, known by the trade as "crown corks" are needed both for metal and the cork lining. A new Good Turn by the Boy Scouts of Canada for their bro- ther Boy Scouts of Britain is an- nounced in the January issue of the official Dominion Scout pub- lication, The Scout Leader. This is the supplying of Government Approved vegetable seeds, for use `in British Scout Victory Gardens. One of the outstanding forme of war service rendered by the Boy Scouts of Canada during 1941 was the "shore leave" camp maintained near Halifax, on the "Lone Cloud Scout Reserve" for the benefit of sailors of the con- voy fleet. Some 1,500 ratings from ships of all types were given several rest days ashore, for which the warmest appreciation was expressed by Hien and offi- cers. In a number of cases ap- preciation took the additional form of a substantial donation from a ship's canteen fund, voted y ':;e men themselves. The sailors were accommodated in eight Adirondack shelters, an officers' hut and a mess hall com- plete with galley. Three of the eight shelters were paid for re- spectively by the Canadian Gen- eral Council, the Scouts of Mon- treal and the Halifax Rotary Club. Contributions toward other shelters were made by a number of Scout Groups in dif- ferent parts of the Dominion, and the balance of the building cost was taken care of by Halifax. Dis- trict. The first party to visit the camp were men from an armed mer- chantman, and these were follow- ed from week to week by detach- ments from battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and a hos- pital ship. One mixed party comprised crewmen from Free French and British corvettes. The men enjoyed themselves swimming, rowing, sailing, foot- ball and softball. Rather oddly, from the layman's point of view, rowing about the lake in fisher- men's dor•:es was a favoured sport. Tramping through the woods also was popular; and several of the sailors "lost their bearings" "or some hours, but were found by search parties, none the worse for the experience. 1 RADIO DIALING WITH DAVE; It might be weld timet writer Al Morley is jumping from the frying -pan into the fire, or from the doghouse into a macllwout .
