as represented in the words, "And the
heavens were opened unto Him."
Forthwith He could see clearly into
the Divine purposes respecting Him
self in a manner not possible to Him
prior to His conservation.
At once the Master realized the full
import of the Day of Atonement sacri-
fees, of the Passover lamb slain, of
the prophecies that spoke of Himself
as being led as lamb to the slaughter,
and of His being the antique of the
brazen serpent lifted on high for the
healing of Adams sin-bitten race.
Led of the Spirit-Into Temptation.
AS these thoughts began to rush into
the Savior's mind, He was first of all
pressed of the spirit Ills own spirib
to go apart for awhile and to study out
the full import of the Law and the
Prophets and His own obligations ac-
cording to the Covenant He had just
made. For forty days and nights His
intense earnestness made Him Oblivi-
Gus to almost everything else Appar
emily He neither ate nor slept until the
forty days were ended; and He ''after-
ward hungered."
Then it was that the Adversary APP
peared as a tempter-at the moment
of His physical weakness as the result
of fasting-when His soul was over
whelmed with the realization of the
iYoY 1nTta Of
had made and of what it would cost
Him to fulfil it's terms. 1t was the
severest test imaginable. Would the
Redeemer prove loyal to God-to the
Divine Programme His covenant of
consecra tion unto death? Or would
He feel that the Father had poured too
bitter a cup for Him-that God had
made the tests of loyalty and obedi-
ence too severe-that it was neither
just nor loving to allow Him to enter
into such contract?
How glad we are to note the loyalty
which triumphed over every tempta-
ton! With the angels we acclaim,
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!'
To Him be glory, honor, dominion and
might everlasting!
Tempted as We Are.
The Savior was not tempted with
the habits of a drunkard nor the weak
nesses of debauchee or a libertine,
neither are those the temptations
which come to us-His footstep follow
ers. We are to remember that the
Scriptures clearly differentiate between
us and the world I've are not of the
world even as l am not of the world
Tempted like as we are" therefore
signifies that the temptations or trials
which Jehovah permits to come upon
His consecrated people are of the
same kind that He permitted to come
upon our Redeemer.

GnhooIey of Auadfr.

The ruler of Agadir is Kaid Gilluli,
a chieftain only twenty-five years OF
age, who lives in a curious little forti-
fed town or saints tomb called OAR
Gilluli, which is situated about half
way between Mogador and Agadir.
Gilluli or Gilhooley claims to be
cOuntryman Of mine, descended from
an Irish lad who was carried off from
the town of Baltimore some hundreds
Of years ago by Algerian corsairs and
afterward sold as slave to the
Moors. The only proofs which he can
adduce in support of his claim to Irish
descent are green turban and pug
nacious disposition. He has been con
stantly on the rampage in the Atlas
mountains for the last five years and
may at any moment be on the warpath
against the Germans. Some people
have suggested that he turned me out
because, as I hail from the black
north, he suspected me of being an
Orangeman.-W Westminster Gazette.

Bernadotte was king was sometimes

but it always included a particular
slashed sleeve, and the master of cere-
monies fetched the minister to court
in a glass coach. In winter both the
king and the queen had a habit of
turning night into day. She went out
driving after dark and dined after
the play, and he undermined the
health of his ministers by engaging
them all through the night or sum-

heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with clang
and rattle of bolts. A match rasPed
loudly and a flicker of light leaped
from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as If that were not
enough, kissed him full and long upo@
his lips.

was as effectual In restoring O'Rourke

Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that 1t was all dream.
And yet, when he looked, it was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face of a woman as beauti-
full as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
