NJ by John?
Copyright. 1912, by Rev. T. S. Linscott, DID.

W ERsD e-why was Jesus baptized
W by John?
Repentance was a condition OF
Johns baptism. Did Jesus need to re-
pent? Give your reason.
Verses 10-1l-What were the supernat-
ural attending circumstances in connec-
tion with the baptism of Jesus?
Give your reasons for your opinion as
to whether others than Jesus saw. heard
or understood the opening heavens, the
spirit or the voice.
Verses 12-13-What spirit was 1t that

What or who We're the angels that
ministered unto Jesus. and what form
did their ministry probably take?
Matt, 4:1-Why was Jesus led into the
wilderness to be tempted?
Why was 1t necessary or not for Jesus
to be tempted?
Why is 1t that temptation is a neces-
sary part OF Gods educational process
for all of us?
How much virtue is there in doing
right IL there is neither temptation nor
opportunity to do wrong?
Verse 2-Why did Jesus fast at all.
and especially SO long time as forty
days?
II Christians in these days were to fast
what would be the probable spiritual
results?
Verse 3-How did the gospel writer
learn OF the temptation Of Jesus and the
details in connection Herewith?
To what part of the nature OF Jesus
did the devil make his first appeal?
Why would this first temptation natur-
ally appeal to Jesus with force at this
particular time?
Verse 4-What would have been the
moral quality of the act II Jesus had
made bread out Of stones?
Wnat did Jesus mean by saying. MAN
shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth Of God?"
Verses 5-7-Did Jesus go bodily into
the city or in imagination only?
To what part of the nature of Jesus
did the devil urge this second tempta-
ton?
Can you think OF any circumstance in

II Jesus had done as the devil request
ed. how would that have tempted the
Lord God?
Verses s-11-What is this third tempta-

wisdom and goodness, they publish

Heaven and earth are full of glory
Gladness is wholesome. Sadness and
gloom depress the spirit and work in

But gladness brings life and health and
peace.
Gladness is tremendous force, holy
energy. Sadness is an element of weak

III broider the waist front for
j the summer dress. All
that is necessary is to cut
from the material the length of
the waist front and work it care
fully and neatly for future use.
This pattern combines three
splendid stitches, each good for
summer accessories. Yet there is
something else to be added, if de-
sired, which will impart a touch
of lace as we'll as delicacy. Use
blond net or Irish crochet in the
large ovals. To create the best
results embroider all flowers and
leaves in French eyelet. The
miniature knots must be carefully
covered with satin stitch. The cx-
treme edge of the large or central
figure can be worked solid with
some padding, especially if lace
is used inside. The pinhead dots
indicate myriad of small French
knots. The pattern can be beau
tifully finished in any of the pastel
shades, providing color is used.
This would be dainty in pale Law
ender, blue. pink, cerise, green or
corn color. Corn color with cream
lace will prove very fetching. Part
Of the pattern could be used on
