that struck back the weapons of temp /
tation from the head of Christ we may !
now all wear; for Jesus comes and |
says: 81 have been tempted, and l know
what It is to be tempted Take this robe
that defended me, and wear 1t for your
selves, / shall see through all trials and
| shall see you through all temptations"
"But." says satan still further to Jesus,
"Come and / will show you something
worth looking at; and after half days
tourney they came TO Jerusalem, and to
the top of the temple. Just as one might
90 up in the tower of Antwerp and look
| off upon Belgium, so satan brought Christ
To the top Of the temple. Some people at
a great height feel dizzy, and strange
disposition to jump; SO satan comes to
Christ In that very crisis. Standing there
Mt the top of the temple they looked off.
A MAGNIFICENT reach Of country. Grain
fields, vineyards, olive groves, forests and
streams cattle in the valley, flocks on the
hills, and villages and cities and realms.
Now" says satan, "pll make bar
gain. Just jump off. know it is great
way from the topof the Temple to the val
ley, but if you are divine you can fly.
Jump off. 1t won't hurt you. Angels
will catch you. Your Father will hold
you. Besides, I'll make you large
present II you will. I'll give you Asia
Minor, I'll give you China, I'll give you
Ethiopia, I'll give you Italy, I'll give you
Spain, I'll give you Germany, I'll give you
Britain, I'll give you all the world"
What q temptation it must have becnl
Go tomorrow morning and get In an

myself by getting Into such a contest
Then think of what the king Of heaven
and earth endured when he came down and
fought the great wretch of hell, and fought
him in the Wilderness and on top of the
temple. But | bless God that In the
triumph over temptation Christ gives us
the assurance that we also shall triumph.
Having himself been tempted, he Is able
to succor all those who are tempted.
In q violent storm at sea the mate told a
boy-for the rigging had become entangled
at the mast-to go up and right 1t. A gen.
tleman standing on the deck said, Don't
send that boy up; he will be dashed to
death" The mate said, II know what
! am about" The boy raised his hat in
recognition Of the order, and then rose
hand over hand and went to work; and us
D he swung in the storm the passengers

III The third installment paid for our r.
re demption was the Saviour's sham trial.
al call it sham trial-there has never bee
U, ANYTHING so indecent or unfair In an
criminal court as was witnessed at I'll
le trial of Christ Why, they hustled hil
VI into the courtroom at O'Clock in tn
morning. They gave him no time IL
X counsel. They gave him no opportunit
III for subpoenning witnesses. The rufiiaI
rs who were wandering around through I'll
hV midnight Of course they saw the arre'
p and went into the courtroom. But Jesu
CT friends were sober men, were respectful
- men. and ut that hour, o'clock In tt
* morning, of course they were at hon
nc asleep. Consequently Christ entered ii
Ell courtroom with the ruflians.
w Oh, look at him No one to speak wol
for him. | lift the lantern until can loo
We into his face, and as my heart beats
sympathy for this, the best friend q
en- world ever had, himself now utterly frien

" u was farce Of trial, lasting only perha
VOL an hour, and then the judge rises for sc
'h tence. Stopl 1t Is against the law to 81
sentence unless there has been an ad1oul

10; and sentence; but what cares the Jun
mo for the lawP 1.-THE man has no friends
40 let him die" says the judge; and the n
nes 0ans outside the rail cry; "Ahal ahal tina
our what we want Pass him out here to
vas Away with himl Away with him"

'h"V Further, remark: The last great
now stallment paid for our redemption was
al demise of Christ. The world has
