Thursday, March 9, 1944 The Three Temptations Os Christ In Wilderness By Chaplain Glenn S Reddick The Lenten Season began with Ash Wednesday which was Feb 23rd. The following Sunday was the First Sun day in Lent, and last Sunday icas the Second Sunday in Lent. There are four Sundays in Lent and then comes Pas sion Sunday and finally Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday The Holy Gospel for the First Sunday in Lent deals with the Temptation in the Wilder ness. The Second Sunday’s Gospel deals with Christ's vis it to the Syro Phoenician woman. From Christmas to Easter we are supposed to cover the entire life of our Lord We have only twelve weeks in which to do this Twelve sermons merely hit the most iiroortant events of a many-sided character During Lent everyone should read a good life of Christ. There are many. J prefer Cannon Farrar's Life of Christ to all others. How ever, it is rather conservative. But being a good Church man and saying the Nicene Creed every Sunday, I had better not express my views as to the di vinity of Christ I think He was the Son of God but I have my own views on the matter and I can give adequate reasons for saying the Nicene Creed JUDEAN MINISTRY Farrar had sixty-four beauti ful stories on the Life of Jesus He begins His ministry proper with the Temptation in the Wil derness. Following this he tells of his, Judean Ministry. Many writers neglect this phase of Christ’s life. After the Temp tation, He went to Jerusalem On this first visit He drove the money changers from the temple for the first time. He drove them out for the second time during Holy Week We do not know whether His ministry lasted one year or three. Any how, Christ offended the leisure class and the moneyed interests and was damned above ground and was clever enough to know it Anyone who takes to heart the interests of the common people may be crucified or mar tyred or meet a violent death but he wins immortal glory by so doing. RELIGION DEFINED Jesus withdrew in the Wil derness to think out the course of His life. All great men must have times when they are alone There is much value in isolation The student cannot associate with people and be much of a skudent. The more time he spends alone the better off he will be. Isolation and solitude make for character Religion has been defined as the attitude a man takes when he is alone. Our Lord in the Wilderness faced three temptations. Os course the average Holy Roller would think that Satan appeared on the sceine in person. The Grand Master of the Fireworks carried a pitch fork and had his tail wrapped around his shoul ders! That is all tommyrot along with the theory that Christ is coming back to earth again The Temptation took place with in Christ’s own heart and soul and mind and conscience FIRST TEMPTATION He was first tempted to turn stones into bread Now every one is tempted to do this It is merely to live a pure animal ex istence and to try to cater to the needs of the body Christ answered this by saying "Man shall not live by bread alone ” We can live in this earth and de pend upon those things which are temporal or we can live in the real world and depend upon those things which are eternal SERVICES SUNDAY Catholic Mass, 8:30 AM. Thea tre No. 2 General Service, 10 30 AM Theatre No 2 Holy Communion. 11:30 AM Chaplain Reddick's Office Many a minister and a priest has sold out to Satan for the sake of his bread and lived a lick spit tle, subservient, time-serving life and catered to the wealthy for a better job and sold his soul when he should have cared for and de fended the poor Jesus was not worried at all about changing stones to bread or his temporal earthly body as long as He could save His Soul. SECOND ATTACK The second attack was based on the idea that Jesus should ask special favors of Almighty God He was carried to the pin nacle of a temple and advised to cast himself down God was supposed to protect Him Jesus paid no attention to this for if He had He would have had to perform a miracle. Now “a mir acle is a violation of the laws of nature” and Jesus never did this unless it was for the glory of God or for the benefit of someone else There are still some people who want God to perform miracles for them They lead selfish, animal useless lives without a thought of Almighty- God and then when they get in a jam it is expected that God will perform some miracle to save them. This is the idea of "Fox hole" religion It is not worth a nickel. Others violate moral laws and expect to es cape punishment A man would be crazy to say he was going to jump off a ten story building and break the law of gravity. The law of gravity would break him! God’s moral laws are just as rigid as His physical laws LAST TEMPTATION The third temptation was for power Christ was shown all the kingdoms of the world. All He had to do was to acknowledge Satan as a power worth consid eration. Many love power They love the power of wealth or the power of military might Thru these they think they will gain the domination of the Kingdoms of this world Jesus cared for no power except the power of goodness His Kingdom was not of this world Thru His goodness and suffering and sor row and pain and agony and death He became th^ most pow ful individual in al) the world We recognize His power in the Communion service when we say "Therefore with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Thy glorious name evermore praising Thee."

Horosko became a prominent athlete in high school, playing on the soft ball team that won the city-title. Although she credits it to poor pitching and fielding in a new league, it’s a matter of record that she batted .888 in her first year on the' squad. SOFTBALL SEMI-PRO At Kansas University she not only made every sports team, but completed the four year physi cal ed course in two years flat During each summer vacation she earned enough money play ing semi-pro softball in Topeka, Kans., to pay her tuition for the following year, and incidentally made catcher on the all-Topeka team which placed second in the state wide softball tournament In addition to her duties as teacher and dean of women at Fort Scott junior high, she had charge of the Girls' Athletic As sociation and was active in the American Association of Univer sity Women Besides being able to speak and read Russian and Polish, Horosko can read, write and speak Spanish fluently. In September, 1943, she enlist ed in the Corps, took her basic training at Des Moines, lowa, and then studied administration at Alpine, Tex., where she was elected vice presidnt of Com pany B, Class 6, and was ap pointed student physical train ing instructor She is at pres ent assigned to Ist battalion headquarters of the 3rd Student Training Regiment.
