ToPIc.-our temptations. and how to avoid
them. Math. iv, Ill.
The Scriptural lesson illustrating our
topic tells the story of the temptation
of Jesus by satan. Then was Jesus
led up of tho Spirit into the wilder
ness to be tempted Of the devil" (Math.
iv, u. This story is very familiar to
rs all, and, from it we may draw many
useful lessons concerning our tempta-
tions and how we may avoid them. We
may learn from this temptation Of
Christ:

ed. The temptation of Jesus took.place
Immediately after His baptism. Before
the multitude He had been proclaimed
and baptized as the coming Messiah,
and even God had claimed Him as His
Son, and the Spirit had descended upon
Him. 1t was a moment of triumph
and success. Heaven and earth Joined
in honoring Him, and jnst then He was
tempted Satan often attacks us at the
same moment. 1t is in the flush of vic
tory as often as in the encouragement
of defeat that the tempter whispers
words to us to which we should turn a
deaf ear. Then we ar in fair way
to he easily overcome many who
can bear up under d and failure
cannot stand success an. prosperity,
but in such times fall easy victims to

The Christmas Stocking.

A jolly device to take the place of the
tree is big stocking with its top held
open by circle of wire. The stocking
is made of striped calico or any available
stuff and must be big enough to hold all
the gifts, which are to be done up stout
ly in pasteboard and paper. Each is tied
with twine, and long end is left. A tag
is fastened to each string bearing the
name of the one for whom the package
is destined. Then all the packages are
put into the stocking. When it is time
for the distribution, each must find a
string with his or her name on it and
take hold. AT given signal all pull at
once.
The fun will be increased if it be the
rule that no one can get gift except by
pulling at the string, and that no one
must use the hands to disentangle
strings. 1t would perhaps be better to
put in only one gift for each person at
one time. Then, when all have got their
packages, second batch is arranged;
then third and SO on
A big horn of plenty, suspended SO the
gifts can be easily drawn out by strings,
is slight variation of this suggestion.
If preferred, in either case the strings
may be pulled one by one by single
person who has been chosen giftmaster.

While travelling at Christmas time in
the old English county of Devon few
years ago, found it peculiarly affluent
in these odd Christmas superstitions and
customs. Every family | visited pro-
vided, if able to afford them, ''Iule
cheese and a "Yule cake for the
Christmas season, and it is considered
very unlucky to cut them before Christ
mas day.
The same superstition prevails with
regard to the "Yule Candida very tall
one specially provided-and the "Yule
dog" or log-a large stick for the Christ
mas fire. Misfortune is regarded as
certain to follow if either candle or log
is lighted until just as the family are
sitting down to supper on Christmas
eve, and it is also considered a sure pre-
cursor of evil for any one to stir the log
or snuff the candle during the progress
of the meal.
On Christmas morning no member Of
the family must stir out of the house
until its threshold has been crossed by
the footsteps of some male outsider. II
a woman or girl is the first to enter on
Christmas morning, i'll luck is sure to
follow. Another Devonshire supersti-
ton is that if the sun shines brightly at
noon on Christmas day there will be
plentiful crop Of apples in the succeed
ing summer.-Buffalo Express.
