sunday school lesson january 12 lesson ii baptism and temptation of jesus matthew 3 13 to 4 11 golden text this is ry beloved son in whom i am well pleased matthew 3 17 analysis i the baptism 3 1317 ii the temptation 4 111 introduction the gospels practically silent on the events of the life of jesus between his birth and public ministry the only incident given is that which describes his jour ney to jerusalem and his conversation with the doctors f the law when he vrns about twelve i the baptism 3 1317 v 13 the pi aching of john the baptist had created a profound impres sion on the people of the land it was felt that a new religious leader had appeared and that the promise of god was now to be fulfilled jesus would naturally hear of this great revival and he decided that he must take some part in it either to show his sympathy with it or else to carry it farther on accordingly ho goes to the jordan where john was baptizing crowds of people and he presents himself as a candidate v xi however john seems to feel jewish officials and work along with them but this he rejects vs 6 7 in the last temptation jesus is carried in son to the top of a high mountain and sees the glory of the world chiefly the marvels of the roman empire which has its soldiers in every land which is able to dictate laws to mankind and whose force none can withstand jesus wonders whe ther he might not work in peace with rome instead of antagonizing the emperor could he not come to terms with this mighty rultr and use their help to spread his own teaching of the kingdom but this would je treason against god he cannot use the forces of the world he must rely on spirit ual influence he must trust the father s wearing illustrated dressmaking lesson furnished j with every pattern by annebelle worthington the holiday leftovers prince of wales plans lion hunt his man that made him different from all others and he therefore hesitated baptism to him was the symbol of repentance and john did not think that jesus belonged to this class of signers he therefore opposes the reqtltst of jesus v 15 jesms urges jom to baptize him but from this we must not infer that jesus was conscious of sinfulness or that he wished to confess his need of repentance jesus knew no sin neither was guile found in his mouth i the reason which he gives is that this is a part of the righteous plan laid down for him jesus is one with his brother of the earl of winchilsea jungle adventure and hun ters life for six weeks london plans are now maturing forthe prince ti wales african tour which begins erly in the new year formalities ire to be dispensed with as far as possibj and the royal trav eller will live as a hunter anion the hunters sitting at the same camp fires and sharing the same food tho democracy of the jungle will claim for him six glorious weeks and in shorts and openneck shirt he will seek to bag those animals the ele phant the rhinoceros the buffalo and the lion which eluded his gun during the last years visit dramatically cur tailed by the news of the kings ill- ftess the princes program will be a very elastic one said a member of the princes household recently and it is impossible now to say precisely what his movements will be captain denys finchhatton brethren he has come to seek and save them and to do so he must take part in all that is common to man this is an instance of the complete- selfdedi cation and selfsacrifice of jesus this i also an illustration of the law that he who would have others must be one with them it was a sacrament of messianic love v 1c at this moment of selfsur render jesus receives tho recognition of divine favor the heavens open and the spirit descends like a dove in outward form we arc not to say that the spirit had never visited jesus be- ore but now t comes in fulness and equips him for the great mission of the messiah for which he has been anointed v 17 the voice from heaven ex- presscsllieenuve satisfaction which god has with his son jesus is now conscious of his great work hence forth the way is clear before him and he will not turn to the right or left however ho must pass through the testing which comes to all those who dedicate their lives to noble service this is what we have to study in the temptation in the gospel of john we find further and important teaching on the subject of the baptism see ch 1 ii the temptation 4 111 v 1 this is one of the very signifi cant events in the life of jesus and has at all times greatly interested thoughtful students of tho bible jesus had learned at tho baptism that he was to fulfill the office of the messiah and the question inevitably arose as to the way in which he was to accom plish this ho goes out into the soli tude of the desert to think over the matter and then temptations gather round the subject of his mission these three temptations that come rep resent tho different ways by which he might carry on his task but they are nil finally rejected because they arc not according to the will of god jesus has as his guidingstar to do the will of his father vs 3 1 ho is tempted to turn the stones into bread and this may mean that it was suggested to him that he should be a social reformer bringing bread to the hungry and healing to the sick reforming society it would be a noble enough work for some but not for him since he could not be satisfied with giving material help man cannot live by bread alone he knows that the soul of man is of in finite value and jesus must try to bring men back to god in whom alone we find eternal rest vs 4 5 the second temptation is usually understood as a suggestion that he should use his miraculous gifts to impress the people that he hould go forth as a wonderworker and thus compel the admiration of tho world it is perhaps possible that the pinnacle of the temple hero stands for tho en tire svstcm of the old priesthood and that jesus was wondering whether he could make a compromise with the who is a biggame hunter and who conducted the princes biggame hunt ing last year will again be in charge provisional arrangements have been made for the prince to sail from southampton for south africa on the unioncastle liner kenilworth on january 3 at capetown he will stay at gov ernment house as the guest of the earl of athlone and princess alice countess of athlone this is a long overdue visit as the prince would have spent last christmas with them had it not been for the kings illness he will remain about a fortnight in south africa before proceeding to the lion country in east africa already nairobi is anticipating the princes tour and the people of kenya are speculating on how much of his journey from the cape to cairo he will do by air and how much by road they believe he

unison then if you arc not twins what are you he cried were whats left of triplets it was not until 1833 that the bri tish parliament reached the point of prohibiting slavery in british pos sessions slavery continued however for many years in other countries in tho united states it was not finally abolished until 1803 writes mr har old cox in the sunday times in a review of great britain and the slavo trade 18391805 by william law mathieson the most curious fact brought out by mr mathieson is that after great britain had for several decades been carrying on her war against tho slave trade a reaction developed and several prominent english politicians demand ed that we should abandon the task how far this reaction was due to com mercial influences is not quite clear here is mr mathiesons descrip tion of the condition of tho slaves on board the ships that carried them across the atlantic he slaves were always packed often so closely that they sat between each others legs they were chained by tho ankle in pnirs their fetters being not locked but riveted and the boarding above them was in many cases so low that thoy could not even sit upright in the smaller vessels most of the negroes were kept below during the whole voyage of a month or six weeks the stench arising from bad air and the accumulation of filth was over powering the bruising of naked and manacled bodies with the rolling and pitching of the ship in a rough sea was an added torment often there was an insufficient supply of water and the slaves were driven almost mad by thirst nor was it only on board ship that the wretch ed slave had to suffer in order to secure a supply of slaves on the west african coast it was necessary to stir up trouble in the interior tribe fought againt tribe and the captive victims were driven by the lash down to the coast there to bo sold into slavery those who survived tho voyage across the atlantic were condemned to a life ot misery one writer records that in provinces in brazil a flogging for nine successive days is an ordi nary punishment ho adds that thumbscrews and other instruments of torture were used on the plantations nd that slaves were sometimes tied up for a whole night over an ants i nest as mr mathieson well says it is an inspiring thought for the people of this country that all that stood be tween the natives of africa and such a fate as has just been described was a british cruise doubts there are as in philosophy so in divinity sturdy doubts and boister ous objections wherewith the unhap- piness ot our knowledge too nearly
