FAIR PREMIUM LIST
The premium list of the Walker
, county fair i 3 announced this week
in this issue, to which we call es
pecial attention.
Enlarged, well-planned and at
tractive premiums should stimu
late unusual interest in the com
ing fall event. The present good
t
crop prospects also should be an
added incentive.
Numbers of farmers have called
for the premium list and have I
shown deep interest in the fair.
The list reveals, with the excep
tion of three twenty-five dollar
scholarships, all cash prizes, and
the prizes are of considerable
amount. The prizes total larger
than any previous fair, and the
committees have given special at
tention to all departments in ef
forts to make, strong each depart
ment.
Os especial interest should be
the woman’s department, which in
previous years has not been un
usually attractive. The list as an
nounced for woman's work is ap
pealing this year and the fair of
ficials expect a much better inter
est taken on the part of the wo
men.
Read the premium list carefully,
preserve it, and plan to make ex
hibits in October at the fair.—

Make your schools and churches
better and stronger; they are j
fundamental centers of power in
an age of restlessness and change.

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT—Matt. 4:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT-'For In that ll*
Himself hath suffered being tempted.
He Is able to succour them that are
tempted."—Heb 2:18.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus FWuses to
Do Wrong.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus Conquers the
Tempter.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
lC—Jesus Shows Us How to Overcome
Temptation.
YOUNfJ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Victory Over the Tempteiv
I. It* Purpose (V. 1).
The Holy Spirit led Him Into the
wilderness with the specific purpose
that He there meet and overcome the
one whose works He came to de
stroy (Heb. 2:14). Ills temptation was
not a preparation for His work, as
usually thought, hut rather the opening
of the dreadful conflict between Clirlst
and Satan, which was to Issue In Sa
tan's defeat. It was not to lest Jesus
to tmd out ns to whether He would
stand fast —to see whether He would
sin. The eternal purpose of God as to
redemption absolutely could not fail.
It was rather to exhibit Him as an ob
ject upon which faith might rest, to
show that a union between God and
man had been effected which would
Insure man's reconciliation.
11. The Conflict (vv. 2-11).
1. The Combatants (v. 1).
(1) Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the
Divine Man, is now entering upon His
mediatorial work. He went immedi
ately from the place of anointing and
heavenly recognition as the Non of
God to meet the arch-enemy of the
race.
(2) The Devil. Ife was a real per
son and, while always filled with cun
ning and malice. In this case the init’a
five was taken by the Lord. He was
dragged into the presence of Jesus
Christ and forced Into the struggle.
2. The Battle Ground (v. v l). It was
In the wilderness of Judea. The first
man was tempted in a garden with the
most pleasant surroundings and failed
The second man was tempted in a
barren' wilderness, surrounded by wild
beasts, and gloriously triumphed.
3. The Method of Attack (vv. 2-10).
Since ns our Redeemer Christ sus
tained a threefold relationship, the Son
of Man, Son of God and as Messiah,
each one was made a ground of attack.
(1) As Son of Man (vv. 2. 3). This
was a test of the reality of Ills' human
ity. To demonstrate whether the hu
manity which He obtained through the
virgin birth was real, the appeal was
made to the Instinct of hunger. Hun
ger is not the result of sin. While the
appetite is not sinful, lo have satisfied
it in a wrong way would have been
sin.
(2) Son of God (vv. 5. 0). Tills was
a test ns to whether the personality
which had come from heaven and
taken upon Itself humanity was divine.
The Devil quoted from a Messianic
psalm to get Illm to presume upon
God’s onre. God does care for tils
own. but to neglect common precau
tion —to do the uncalled for tiling—
just to put God’s promise to a test Is
sin and dentil. Satan tempts men to
day to do the spectacular things In or
der to get publicity, to gala the ears
of the people.
(3) As Messiah (vv. 8,0). Christ’s
mission as the Messiah was to recover
this world from the Devil. The Devil
offered to surrender to Him on the
simple condition that He would adopt
his method, thus obviating the neces
sity of the cross. The kingdoms were
really Christ’s and He knew that they
would ultimately become Ills. The in
ducement was to get Immediate posses
sion without the sufferings of the
cross.
4. The Defense (vv. 4,7, 10). Christ
met the enemy each time and repulsed
his nttack with the Word of God. Each
time He said, "It is written” and
quoted from Deuteronomy, the book
which the higher critics would dis
credit. Christ had enough confidence
in it to use it in this, the most crucial,
hour of the world's history.
5. The Issue (v. 11).
(1) Satan vanquished. The enemy
was completely routed. The strong
man was so bound that the spoiling of
his li«Uße was possible.
(2) Angels came nnd ministered
unto Him. This event was so mgable
that these glorious beings were sent
from heaven to give It recognition and
to minister unto the triumphant King.
Man’s Sorrows
Man's sorrows are a mystery, but
that sinners should not have sorrows
were a sadder mystery still. And God
pleads with us all Dot to lose the good
of our experiences of the bitterness of
sin by our levity or our blindness to
their meanings.—Alexander Maelaron.
A Prayer
We pray Thee. O God. that Thou wilt
help us to be faithful, earnest nnd
true in all of our work, whatever It
may be.
Clear Conscience
Lots of people regard a cltjjr con
science as mose of a luxury than a
necessity.
Considering Others
It Is always easter to discuss the
duties of others, than to do our own.
