Crittenden Memorial Service


1t is expected that the service will be
largely attended by representatives OF the

Crttenden was not in any sense de-
nominational and was devoted to the

What Jesus Knows of Temptation,

After this heavenly recognition came
one of the crucial experiences of Jesus
life. He had come into the world TO tell
the love of God. to show how to resist
the sin that destroys usefulness and hap
niness and puts gulf between men and
God. and to point the law to a life of
struggle and conquest with himself as the
helper and companion for every day. But
He knew that 1t would he impossible to
help tempted men unless He first went
through the experience of being tempted,
and He must be tempted as a man, re-
sisting the temptation only by the power
of will and the help of the Father that
is given to every man who will seek it.
OtheFwtse-He very well knew-when men
and women should be pointed to Him as
the helper of the tempted they would be
apt to say. That's all very well, but
what does He know about being tempted
What does He understand about the hard
conditions of my life? 1t is all right
to talk of Christ as companion for
the church and the monastery, but when
man is in the midst of the complica-
lions of modern business or the trying
conditions surrounding the laborer i'm the
factory or on the street, or when
woman has the thousand and one tempta-
tons of home life to contend with, some
one else is needed

who had come to proclaim a king, and
that they must repent of their sins and be
baptized if they would prepare the way
for His coming. the people f1ocked to the
waste places by the Jordan where the
herald was at work.
One day, among the crowds which
thronged to hear him. came One whose
purity of life was great that when He
asked to be baptized John was unwilling
At once Jesus made it clear to John
that the baptism should be administered
to Him as to others. i'm order that He
might fulfill all Righteousness there was
no sin in His life, therefore, no need of
repentance. but He had become a man,
and He would do as men were asked to
do.
Then came a wonder which Jesus and
John alone saw and heard-the opened

and resting upon Him. the voice out of
heaven. This is my beloved Son in whom
am we'll pleased" John would no longer

Tho whole difficulty is that criticism Is
not taken seriously in America. Many rea-
sons might be cited for this condition, per-
hsps the most flagrant being the critics
themselves. As a rule, the men and women
who write for the public press, dealing
with matters pertaining to literature and
art, do not accept the task in a sufficiently
sober mood. or they are prone to lean the
other way and defeat their efforts by set
ting up a standard that Is out Of reach
and code that Is so narrow that it ex-
cludes much that is really good Between
these two moods, criticism suffers; laxlty
on the one hand and intolerance on the
other equally breed indifference as to what
is written, and the good that might be
done Is swallowed up In the failure to at
tract deliberate attention No form OF crit
ical writing has shown this more plainly
than that which deals with the drama in
the United states. OF all the reviewers
who write for publication today, concern
ing plays and players, those whose utter
ances are generally accepted as authorita-
tive may be numbered on the fingers Of
one hand To fix the blame for this con-
dition would involve too long an argument,
and in the end It might not convince, so
the statement will be allowed TO stand. 1t
is not intended to suggest the thought
that all efforts at dramatic criticism in
America are altogether fruitless or un-
worthy; that would be to unjustly assail a
! large number of clever men and women
who write each day Of plays that are pro-
duced and of actors who produce them.
.
Failure to appreciate the Importance OF
| the work they are about often leads tho
critics into dealing too lightly with the
drama, and an equal inability to co-ordi-
nate values leads to such heavy treatment
OF the trivialties as also defeats the real
end of criticism. The critic should have
above all other things an adjustable scale
OF excellence realizing that even truth Is
not immutable, but relative, and that a
play or its players should be dealt with
