Jjrred to it throughout life.

The tempter proceeds upon the assumption that all man needs for hu sustenance u food for the physical life. You have a right to th ne nays, on any terms, and there ia aothi.., cine to be considered by eonipariaorww itb this. So make provision for yourael^and the body’s bread first. "You are to feed the hungry; feed first yoomelf." "If Thou art the son of God. command that these atones be made loaves—and then You may lire to execute Your Fatber'a busineas " The answer of Jesus came from a Mar gaunt and weary bv long fasting and dsyi of conflict. "The ohytical life is not msn'i only life, and I will not act aa if it were,’ He says, "by exempting Myself from privations which I have come to ahsn with My brethren. If I am hungrv. that lies within the will of God for Me. and I choose hanger in that will, rather than satisfaction outside of and against that will. I will not hurt or kill My moral or, spiritual life as the filial, .dependent and obedient Child of God by providing on

lb I He waa tempted by Hia running and wily adversary to commit the plausible am. Bweide the influence of the sacred place and associations, the voice of the tempter appealed to aomething not levs •arrvd—to the written word of God—ns the guarantee of truth and action. The devil, too. can quote Scripture to hia purpose. "If Thou be the Son of God. caat

Thyself down; for it it written. 'He shall

give His angels charge concerning Thee,'" First, we must have recourse to the principle* oi aanity and common sense; fied out if what we are tempted to do i» in sincere accord with what God has taught us generally in His word and in common tense, and. then decide. For Christ to have cast Himself from the wing of the temple into the abyss that vswued below would have been to tempt God. "We do not make experiments with thoee whom we absolutely trust." When a man be-

gins by a prayer test, or any like thing, to

m-ike experiments with God. be shows th«t he lacks the aubtle, spiritual quality called faith which is the only means bv which be caw reach God. Therefore, it ia the habit of trust to calmly abide in God —not trifle with or put Him to the test. At long at Jesus remained within the sphere ol the revealed will of His Father, lie could trust Him. If He should break or contravene that will, then He ahould no longer feel lie bad a right to God's care. In other words, Jrsun Christ, in Hu second temptation, flushed with a victory which must have given an impulse to faith in the Father's power and sufficiency, declares to us that it is necessary to have a care for ourselves aa well a* commit ourselves^ into the keeping of God. Because we are God's children we may not break the laws of the world to which we be'-oag and expect Him to, miraculously interfere to prevent the cofl^ipscTSces Contempt for nature and -fffact ieal reason is a wretched policy to begin a religious life with. , We live under physical law, under moral law, under spiritual law. To fancy that because we bare come to feel wer of the spiritual and even the —' — — liberty to fly ra

AH about us they are . aa if man did live by bread alone, and where this ia true they will bare bread on any terms, and getting it becomes the consuming passion o' ’ stead, the buster — ing in the will of God. rather than the passing gratification gotten at the price of disobedience, our Master won for us the crest initial victory over temptation, and py His spirit and example has been leading millions to victory along the same path ever since. In the second temptation—I take the order given in fit. Matthew aa the natural order—the point of attack has changed. The tempter had sought to overthrow the obedience of ,Christ by an assault upon Hia physical appetite* and faith in Hia Father’s care. He had overcome the temptation through the strength of Hit trust in God. So now the attack ia made upon Him through that very trust. An answerring loyalty and confidence in the will of God baa been discovered. That loving trust it waa which made Him choose ** suffer the pangs of hunger, rather Ui__. arbitrarily terminate them by a miracle wrought for Himself. Ah; then.

"It neither courts nor shuns death.” It is prudent, wary, will uot overstep the limits of a sober faith, and vet. when the will of God clearly demands it in the path of duty, it bravely faces

My friends, the modern sin of presumption turns up under msny forms.

When ropairing table linen It is well to use ravelling or linen thread, grading It according to the quality of the linen. To darn a thin place In table linen jeatly put the worn spot In an emoroldery hoop; It Is then stretched flrsily and can be darned evenly. Sometimes an accident destroys a •Fot la an otherwise good tablecloth, and hero a good needlewoman may thow her skill In sming a patch. The best hotels often give an object lesson la the care of table linen, which la tubmltted to great wear by constant laundering.

In the morning, remove the flannel with tbe lace from the water and rinse In several successive waters with out squeezing.
