Text: “Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word of
God.”—Luke iv. 4.
Following the temple scone in Jerusa
lem, we have a period of eighteen or more
years of unbroken silerfce in the life of
Jesus. All that the Bible writers tell
tis is that Ho went down from Jerusalem
to Nazareth with His parents and was
subject to them, but subsequent events
prove that those were not idle years. They
■were filled with work and study. Ho
mastered the Jewish sacred writings, and
s e r beginning His ministry showed His
familiarity with thorn. He kept elose
to nature and pondered deeply on the
meaning of its phenomena. He saw a
Fpirit'.ial m< anlng in what was regarded
ps commonplace. The lilies, the birds, the
brooding hen, the growing wheat and
tares, the rising sun. the clouds at morn
1> g tnd evening, the blowing of the wind
nil served Him for illustrations of spir
itual. truth.
He* associated with men, learned their
Strength and weakness, their virtues and
tiers and came to have a genuine sym
pathy for them. Hr got a lesson from
the shepherd, the fisherman, the farmer,
the gardener, the jewoter. the merchant,
t o carpenter, the vine dresser, the tailor
and the houswife.
He knew current history. From the
plateau above Nazareth. He could see
peross the plain of Esdraelon, "where
emerged from the Samaritan hills the
yo.id from Jerusalem, thronged with pil
grims. and the road from Egypt with
J's merchants going up and down. Tim
Midianito caravans could be watched
for miles coming up from the folds of
the Jordan, and the camel train from
Damascus Would round the foot of the
hill upon which Nazareth stands. He
<'mid see the highway from Decapolis
r nig which legions marched, and princes
FWept with their retinues. The sight <>f
the Homan ranks and eagle ensign would
i ot haw- been unfamiliar to Him.
The new s of the Homan empire passed
Into Palestine along the highway close
to Naraze.th. He heard the stories about
the emperor's health, the changing in
fluences of the great statesmen, the pros
p ts at court of Herod or of the Jews.
Caesar’s last order concerning tribute,
tlie policy of the procurator and the scan
dals of the Herods.
"He knew the customs of the neigh
boring Gentiles, their business methods,
their lax morals and their sensuous wor
ship.” .
The conditions, the temper, ttie preju
dices and the hopes of His own people
were familiar to Him. He knew the
galling of the Roman yoke, the Jewish
restlessness and half-concealed hate of
existing authority, the Jewish ideas of
a national God and the political con
ception of a Messianl kingdom. But He
saw not as a partisan. While He sym
pathized with many of tho notions of
Jlis nation. He saw their faults and their
misdirected aims. His own spiritual de
velopment had produced an impatience
with ceremonialism with the belittling
i i. .is of God and His kingdom, and with
t'n materialistic conceptions ot divine
blessedness.
When He had reached the age of about
thirty years. John the Baptist came from
his retirement and with clear bugle call
began to summon the Israelites to a bap
tism preparatory to the King’s coming.
His soul was bursting with tho though?
that tho kingdom of heaven was at hand
and his people were not ready for it.
Jesus, with great thoughts stirring in
Him, went to the Jordan to be baptized,
not as a confession of sin, nor so much
u.s a consecration for service, for His
life was pure and Ho wa.s already In a
tense consecrated to God s service, but
a- a pubh ■ consecration to the work of
setting up the heavenly kingdom which
John declared was at hand.
With the baptism was born the purpose
’hat had been for years struggling in the
womb of His soul. The dove and the
voice, seen by the spiritual eye and heard
by the spiritual ear, were assurances
from His Father of His acceptance for
the Messianic work.
In justification of the view that Jesus’
Messianic consciousness was born in the
hour of ins baptism, wo find that Im
mediately upon the heels of it there came
the temptation:. Any man who has ever
purposed! and pledged hjins'-.l to an im
portant or a difficult work can appre
ciate. in some measure, the reaction that
follows. Who that has ever accomplish
ed anything great d'-i-.- not know the
prostrating sense of weakness, the r«-.-t
--., ssuess. tho almost Iretfulness because
of nervous strain, the desire io escape
from everybody, ihe i’t—ling of necssity
for deep thought and prayer that comes
on the eve of beginning the task?
Jesus had lived a life in harmony with
His lath-'r and was prepared for the
revelation of Messianic acceptance at trie
baptism and the anointing of God’s spirit
for His office, but retirement to contem
plate tin significance of His Messianic
work was a ’;>>• ntai and spiitual neces
sit ” It has .ften b< • n I id that if .the

1 for a period given as forts days, with no
companions save the wild boasts. He
, contended with and settled the great
, problem of His life, namely, "Conscious
Power and How to l.’se It."
His long meditation, r.o doubt, showed
Him the difficulties of His task. He be
came so absorbed in contemplation that
He forgot to eat. Tho scripture account
lolls us that at the end of ... long fast
1 He became conscious of hunger.
We may imagine that during this period
of great thoughts about His work, tho
i i good He could do in relieving His broth
. I ren from the burdens of the professional
| religionists, the bringing simple natur-
I alncss’the communion with the Father,
j tile spreading of brotherliness and love,
; on the one hand, and the bigotry of tho
’ Scribes and Pharisees, the suspicion of
j the Roman rulers, 'the slowness of men
I to break away from traditions, the dan
’ ger of starving or being stoned while
‘ trying to set up tho invisible kingdom,
on the other hand that all these and tho
thousand other thoughts that ran through
His mind made it almost ■ haos. and that
it was only at tl.e end of the forty days
tiiat the conceptions took definite enough
shape for Him to picture them to I'is
disciples.
1 treat this temptation under the sub
ject, ‘Christianity as Taught bv ''iirlst.”
for the reason that all we know about
it must have been told by Jesus, and Ho
told this experience, not to grainy the
curiosity of Mis disciples, but to teach
them a great moral lession.
The account of the temptation must be
regarded as a parabolic, poetic or sym
bolic story of a great fact. No one to
day disputes tile laet, but fw could
bring themselves Io think of the narra
tive as tile historic description of spoken
i words and literal situations on temple
and mountain top. Taken literally, it
fails to harmonize with the character of
Jesus and it lose:; its significance when
applied to our own lives.
lie was "tempted in all points as we
are,” and we have never had a bodily
satan carry us to temple or mountain
I top. A bodily satan appearing to Jesus
would have been recognized, certainly af
ter the first temptation, and it is not to he
supposed that Jesus would have remained
to bandy words with him. The idea that
Jesus could be tempted to fall in an atti
tude of worship before •<. literal satan
is shocking. That is to place Him below
an ordinarily good man.
It it were necessary to argue in or
der to convince any one that the account
of the temptation is symbolic, it w'li'l
'bo sufficient to call attention to the
I Impossibility of Satan's carrying Jesus
' through the air to the pinnacle of the
: temple, or to the impossibility ot iim.Ui;;;
I a mountain so high that from its summit
“all the nations of the world and the
glory of them” could ba seen Jesus
spoke in a figure here as Ho did so of
ten. In point of spiritual development,
His disciples were children and Ho toid
them stories as one who speaks tv eh:
dren.
But to contend for tho parabolic Intel -
pretatlon of the story of the temptation
does not mean to deny the reality of the
' temptation or to weaken Its fore on H".
other hand it tends to intensify its pow
er The temptation of Jesus was a real
temptation It was not a moc'm ry. -
is inconceivable ih.it Jesus should have
indulged In a stage play. Sonic have
contended that because Jesus was the
Son of God that, therefore, He could not
' sin and could not be tempt
ed to sin. But Jesus he', m
telling His own experience, describes the
intense reality of Bis own temptation,
and the writer of the letter to the He
brews calls attention to the fact that ' tie
was tempted in all points like as we
are yet without sin." Jesus tr, qaently
refers, in the after years, to Hi: temp
tations, for tills psychological experience
through which Ho passed in the wilder
ness-. while the severest ordeal through
which lie ever came till the hour in Geth
semane, was by no means the only temp
tation He encountered.
Jesus is call. I tiie Captain of our Sal
vation. We are private soldiers. If it
is true, as some tell us, that by reasoiT
of His divine nature it was Impossible tor
Him to sin, then tho Captain went into
tiie conflict of life wea'ing .-in impene
trable coal of mail which 1, as a private
soldier, do not wear, and you. as a pri
vati soldier, do not. wear. It would not
make f- r discipline or courage if, hi u
modern army, the private soldi, r should
discover that his captain was encased
in. irmor, while he him if wore only his
soldier's uniform. It .irinijs Jesus, tTIe
Captain of Gur Salvation, very close to
us. we stand upon I lie same platform
with Him; we strike hands and feel His
strong grasp of sympathy when we know
that He has been where we are and
knows the difficulties and the dangers
through which wo are passing.
At the end of the forty days' fast, the
thmights which bad been struggling in
the soul of Jesus took definite form, and
the suggestion Hint came to choose some
thing loss than the l>e l assumed the
threefold aspect described as the first,
second and third t .tn pl a t ions. At this
tint- we shall deal only witli the first,
namely, the evil suggestion. "If thou be

lawyer. "Don’t bo squeamish in your

close, you knew. Men may run you out
wilh shad'.- methods an 1 shoddy goods.
Remember tin 'bread question.’ A man
must live, you know."
"Make broad of stones." says the
tempter. "Don't feel yourself shut up

serve support. Tho world oWes you a

That is what Jesus meant when He said,

there was no Bible. Jesus refers to tlm

Patterson Dyke Being- Witched.
Paterson, N. J, October 11. -With the
waters of the Passale river falling nt
•he rate of an inch an hour above the
falls, and double that rate below them,
apprehension of further disaster to the !
city from the flood lias almost disap
peared. the sole question being whether
Spruce street hill, the narrow embank
ment which bolds Hie waters above the
• all:- - , can continue to withstand the strain
until tiie river recedes to Its normal pro
portions. At tile height of the. flood this
hill, standing between tiie river basin
above the falls and tho lower valley,
wa:-; rapidly caving away into the gorge
below tiie falls, Lineman Horace Riley
losing his life In one such cave-in, and
it was feared today that the flood would
wash away the. dyke and precipitate It
self upon the city lying below. A dyke
but little wider than the Spruce street
roadway stood between the city and this
di.ast'-r. but tonight It was holding firm.
Below the falls a largo part of the
city, situated m the valley on < ither side
of the river, was still inundated tonight,
PUt tiie waters were receding rapidly.
Tina sands of persons are temporarily
homeless, most of them being received at
tiie houses of friends in ’he unflooded
districts, while 1.500 were sheltered to
night at tiie arnKiry, fed ami cared for
by organiz' d charily of tile city.
Today many persons who had remained
in their honu - in the flooded districts
were removed and food was conwyed to

purpose. i
H will be impossible to < Ins. ly estimate ;
tiie loss until tin 1 flood subsides, but

But (Ini'" bridges and part of a four'll
of tiie seven below tile falls remain, ami ;
th.- cost tn tiie comity to i".-pia■ •■ these

covered by water. . ]
Only three fatalities have been re- I
potted. :
.Many buildings have collapsed and the I |
foundations of many have been weaken- :
efi by the flood, an I some of these may ■ ,
fall. The total will also be largely aug- '
mented by the loss throughout Passaic i

How to Be
Cured of Piles.
WITHOUT PAIN.
Don't wait until yon are a helpless in
valid. for a seemingly simple ease of
hemorrhoids, or piles, may. if neglected,
rapidly lead to worse. The unnatural
formations become tumorous and perma
nent. and the inflammation grows until
abcesse? form; tin- disease burrows into
the tissues, forming tubular growths
which discharge pus; ca.m-erotts condi
tions ami general gangrenous degenera
tion appear.
What is needed at tile start, or at any
stage, is something to soothe this inflam
mation, reduce the swelling ami disten
sion. and at the same time r stare the
diseased parts to normal condition. These
three things are accomplished perfectly
by the Pyramid Pile Cure. It cheeks
ail progress of the disease, and rapidly i
returns the Affected parts to health, be- '
sides reliving at oner the pain and fear- ,
ful irritation.
“1 began using Pyramid Pile Cure, and
ir- order to make stir, of a cure bought ;
live packages; for tiie past six weeks 1
have not been troubled in the least, and '
I had been bothered - for thirty-tive years, i
and bad spent more than fifty dollars '
for different, remedies; this is the first '
permanent help I have had, and no one ;
could feel more grateful than I do." L. ,
M. Williams, Conneaut, Ohio.
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists
generally for fifty cents a package, and
we urge all sufferers to write I‘yra.mtd
Drug Co.. Marshall, Mich., for their val
uable little book describing the cause and I
cure of piles.
