ly protect the wearer. Did the divinity of Jesus form such an impenetrable arr nor? Was 1t impossible for sugges- tions of evil to enter His soul? Then, how was he tempted as we are? Such a theory reduces Jesus's encounter to sham fight The human soul of Jesus was not overslaughed by the divine. The temptation was addressed to Jesus's true humanity As second Adam, he overcame where the first Adam failed As every man, he learned by what he suffered, and Is able to suc- cor the tempted, being a true and in- spiriting Exemplar. The devil showed Jesus short cut to His King dom. He is doing the same for men to- day. He whispers to the bank cashier; why plot? Why let funds lie idle? Manipulate and double themi You can replace them. If your conscience troubles you. endow a college" Num- bers fail to say, Get thee hence" The devil has a subtle power to spread a mirage of all the Kingdoms of earth. and all their glory and bar barrie gems of gold before ethe eyes of the ambitious, and proffer them Ill if only one will install him as master. Pity is so many fail to thrust the tempter through with the sword of the Spirit, and says: Tt stands written: Worship the Lord. and Him only shalt thou serve" Just as Jesus emerged from His long period of ab- sorbed meditation, and hls physical nature asserted It's claims, the tempter injected the thought, If you really are, as you imagine. the Son of God, com mand these loaf-shaped stones to be changed into bread, and by that means assure yourself of your divinity and appease your hunger" But Jesus re- sponded: The Israelites were forty years learning the dependence upon the simple word and promise of God. With their example I ought to learn the lesson in forty days" Again Jesus felt himself to be standing on dizzy height. The devil wanted him to en- certain in His mind the purpose of casting Himself down; but Jesus con sidered that to :-ake an emergency for the sake of display would be despieable. Finally, Jesus knew he was to set up a kingdom on earth-slowly, and by His own suffering. Now, the kingdoms displayed to Him as in panorama are offered to him instantaneously by the god of this world, If he will serve him as well as His Father, and make His Mission temporary one, such as the
 Jews were expecting. The moral na- | ture of Jesus rises to its full height. as with holy wrath He scorns the very suggestion, and cries, "Begone" to the
 tempter.

 LESSON
me TemptatIon of Jesus.
First Quarter. Lesson V. Matthew iv:1-1I. February 4. 1906.


 The temptation of ' Jesus has been affirmed most difficult of all events to interpret. The difficulty is reduced to a minimum if one keeps in mind that Je- sus had true human soul. This was the citadel the devil sought to storm. Tn his human nature. Jesus must needs make the transit from the innocence, which may be called instinctive, to that which is the outcome of choice. This transit was not made entirely in this ordeal of the temptation. though this may have been it's crucial epoch. The traditional scene of this dread en- counter--'+the Forty-day Mountain is singular in harmony. It is still "a pathless desert, dusk with horrid shades" Thither Jesus had gone. i'm pelIed by the consciousness of Ills Messfanic mission. which may have full ly dawned upon Him in His baptism. He sought to adjust Himself to His calling--to test His resources and de- termine plan of procedure. It Is perhaps indifferent whether one be- Iieves this literal approach of per- sonai devil or a figurative description of a moral struggle entirely subject i've. The first temptation was to use the miracle-working power tof which he had just come to consciousness) purely for personal ends, and untrust- fully of His Fathers care. The second temptation was to create an emergen- cy which would test His Fathers care. The third solicitation was to the dou- hie service, God and mammop. It has been we'll said: After all, what the devil does in the desert is to sum up in expressive symbols the whole pro- gram of the false Messianic dreams of the Jews. who only disguised under holy words a carnal and earthly ambi- ton" e% Jesus triumphed as man. . not as God. It was the victory of our humanity, as Jesus perfectly identi- fled himself with us; just such a victory as each of us may win. The weapons he used. also. are the very ones we are to handle: Faith. prayer, Scripture. Jesus in His human nature. was made perfect by His successful resistance of femptation, so shall we be. There Is both exemplary and inspirational force in the temptation of Jesus. He was tempted as we are. He was tempted in His human nature He resisted and conquered as a man. We may, we must tread the same way.

Prominent Citizen Dead

Tuesday evening at 1920, AL bert White, proprietor of the Gold Dust Exchange, died suddenly in his office of heart trouble. He had been around the house all the evening. and although he had com- plained of feeling indisposed did not consider that anything serious was the matter. Just before his death he sat down in his private office, and there passed quietly away, apparently without pain.
 Albert White was born in Lon- don, England, where his mother is still living. He was for many years engaged in business in San Francisco. but in 1898 he visited Valdez, and in December, 1900, came here to reside, lutting up what is known as the White block, on Mckinley street. His wife is now living in San Francisco, and the only child, Albert, has been here with his father for some time.
 Mir. White was one of the most enterprlsing citizens of Valdez, and had a host of friends among those who knew him personally, and ex- pressions of regret were heard on every hand at his sudden death.
 The A. B's will hold services over the remains at Mckinley Hall this afternoon, and the body will be sent to California on the Santa Ana.

On account of the narrowmind- edness and selfishness of residents, and through lack of moral support and sympathy by the local commu. nifty, the organization known as the Brotherhood of Alaska Pioneers in Afognak, Alaska, after eight years of success, was unable to continue its existence any longer. At their regular meeting on Feb. 3, 1906, it was unanimously agreed to dis solve.
