Solitary Struggles Significance.

The sequence of the Spirits descending
upon Christ was the testing Of His fit
ness to be the Messiah. The temptation
is closely related to the baptism, being
part OF the same experience. The endow-
ment at the Jordan demanded a trial.
test and temptation. 1t was the Holy
Spirit that led Christ to the solitude of
the desert, where He was tempted to
misuse His power by Satan. During that
forty days the mind Of our Lord was
settling the program by which He would
re-establish the kingdom of God The
struggle Is not given to us in detail or In
completeness.
The great battles OF life are fought out
alone. Moses in the desert, Elijah I'm the
cave. John in the wilderness and Paul i'm
Arabia. like our Lord. fought out in
secret their spiritual struggles that fitted
them for their life work.
The secret of public failure is lack OF
secret preparation. Jesus, alone with the
WHO beasts, faced Satan and came forth
triumphant in the trials that We're real
struggles. He gave to His disciples tor
their encouragement the account of three
temptations that revealed that He was
without sin" The fact that He Himself
suffered under temptation enables Him
TO help those who are tempted We fail
10 receive the strength, succor and sup
port that would come to us from Christ's
temptations because We do not realize
that temptation increases with the in.
crease of power.
Our lesson tells us that the great cen.
trail crisis in the conflict with Satan came
after Christ was hungry. Adam was led
through 1.-THE lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes and vain glory of life' to fall
when tempted. Christ. the second Adam.
must conquer where the first one failed.
When Christ conquered the first great foe
Of man in temptation like Adams He
would be able to attempt the redemption
of man. In perfect holiness of life
Christ engaged in the conflict upon the
outcome Of which turned the question Of
our salvation. the restoration of the king
dom and the fulillment Of all righteous
ness. Conscious OF His power. realizing
His call to be the Messiah, the problem
hat Jesus settled was how He would use
His power to establish the kingdom of
God. Satan based his suggestions on the
fact that Jesus was the Son OF God. The
devil sought to mislead Jesus as to His
work. SO that Christ would misuse His
power. Around this question centers
Chrfst's temptations. 1t is ours, for we,
too, must determine how we shall use the
power God has intrusted to US.

tized Of him. marked not only crisis
in His life, but opened the greatest
epoch in the worlds history.
Matthew gives us an account of the
personal meeting between John and
Jesus. The Baptist did not know that
Jesus was the Messiah, who was to
baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire.
John had grown up in the hill coun-
try of Judea. and Jesus in Nazareth of
Galilee. Their opportunity to know
each other was very limited. John.
for at least ten years. had been a soli-
tary student in the desert, while Jesus
in the struggle to maintain the Naza-
reth home had been developing the
istry of John, change the current of
civilization and transform the nations
of the earth.

Significant Symbolical Service.

This was the eliminating act Of Johns
ministry and the commencement Of the
gospel of Jesus. The apostles, like
Mark. dated the Inauguration Of our
Lords public service with this significant
event. We have in a previous study
seen how Jesus. as boy, realized that
He must be engaged in His Fathers
business. When Jesus determined that
the baptism of John was not of men.
but of God. He came to submit to the
rite SO that He might conform to the
will of His Father In sense the ap-
plication Of Jesus was the Masters
answer to, the portrait painted by John
in his prediction. promise and preaching
Of the coming of the Messiah. Marx
evidently in his narrative seeks to con-
meet up the work of Jesus with that
Of John. Matthew gives us the record
Of the conference and the conclusion
that resulted in Christ's baptism.
The symbolical character Of the bap-
tism of Jesus is seen in the identifica-
ton Of Christ with sinners. John later
spoke of Christ as 1.-The Lamb Of God
which taketh away the sin Of the world"
There was no basis for repentance in
the life of Jesus, for He had not sinned
Jesus refused to follow the example of
the Pharisees and Scribes who rejected
the baptism Of John, but He by His
action not only Endorsed the work of
John, but identified Himself with sinners

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Redm ond VS.. Howe.

If everybody could hear John Red
mond's speech on Harland B. Howe,
the democratic candidate. and his pet
tax theory there would not be much
danger from his impassioned utter
ances. Mr. Redmond characterizes
Mr.. Hows's cries of fraud and swind-
ling in connection with the corpora
ton tax law as so utterly foolish as
to be hardly worthy of attention.. Mr..
Redmond knows the railroads of the
state and he pointed out very clearly
the difference between their business
and that of the farmer or merchant.
There is not a railroad in Vermont
that is not heavily in debt. If they
were put on the same basis as the in
dividual for tax purposes the first re.
suit would be the wiping out of their
tax completely as they could Offset
and do it honestly-all that the tax
would amount to. Mr.. Howe will
wish, as Mr.. Redmond says he will.
that he had chosen some other topic
before the campaign closes.-Burling-

the field imported men to boom the
ticket which Vermonters themselves
found little or no use for. The third
party chief himself sends word, Let
all my friends in Vermont vote the
progressive state ticket" Another
outsider says "a vote for the pro-
gressive state ticket is vote for
Roosevelt. Many other outsiders
have also come to Vermont and ask to
be allowed to tell us what to do.
This is the very thing true progress
sives should resent. Their great
national leader condemns bosses and
boss rule. Yet what can the mon

claim but dictatorship?
Don't the progressive voters of
Vermont trust the wisdom of their

WHAT STATE TICKET?

There are five state tickets in the
field in Vermont. Two of them
may be eliminated at the start so far
as questionings on the part of con.
siderable number of our readers are
concerned. The two we eliminate
are the socialist and the prohibition
state tickets.
The other three parties are kick.
ing up any amount of dust in agita-
tion of their tickets and many voters
are at a quandary to know what slate
to vote. AS for the Monitor it has
arrived at a definite conclusion in
something like the following manner
of reasoning after hearing and con-
sidering the various calls and counter
calls of the party leaders.
First considering the renewed dem
ocratic agitation IN Vermont let us
look for moment at their platform
and their ticket. The platform con-
tains the liberal use Of 1--WE condemn"
this, that and the other. 1t has been
termed ga platform of condemna-
ton" No doubt there are things to
be condemned in this state but it
does not take constructive genius to
build such a platform. The general
ly out of joint" chorus in any t)wn
furnish good examples of this kind of
work, but such things do not build UP
a town or a state. The one best
plank in their platform relates to
taxation and the republican party
platform proposes practically every
remedy suggested by the democrats.
The democrats fail in their platform
to pledge or even mention or suggest
their aid to the agricultural interests
of the state, while the republican
state platform comes out squarely
for the farmer and for more and bet
ter agricultural education. This
omission is a serious one on the part
of the democrats.
Aside from the head Of the demo
cratic ticket, Mr.. Howe of ST. Johns
bury, their ticket presents little
strength. They are men with little
or no legislative experience and with
out experience III an executive capac
ity which acquaints them with tn
work of our state government. Vot
ing for the best interests of Vermont
the Monitor eliminates the democrats
Coming next to the progresslv
little or no call for it, emanatin
from the state itself. Graft, corruE
ton, dictatorship and all these thing
have not been charged in Vermont
At least none of the parties now try
ing to overthrow the faithful republ
can party in Vermont have charge
or are now charging in their cam
paigns such things. The call for tn
progressive party in Vermont cam
from without the state. 1t fails
command the support Of Vermont
prominent men almost without exceE
ton. Very few of Vermont's arder
supporters of the national progre
sive slate see any good in the sta'
ticket and find no use whatever for
This alone ought to be argumel
enough to satisfy anyone of the fol
of this party in Vermont.
But further. When it was tour
that the third party ticket in tn
state was not commanding the atte
ton of Vernon tiers, the interests GU
side the state which demanded that

T. r. Steals Socialist Planks.

The editor of the Appeal to Reason,
the national organ of the Socialist
party, is really alarmed for fear Col
onel Roosevelt will put him and his
party out of business. Hear what he
says in a heart to heart talk with his
readers:
"In these columns I have told you
of my belief that Roosevelt is to be
the central figure in this campaign.
Shrewd. INSCRIPTIONS and without the
slightest sense of political honor. he
has seized upon and made his own
many of the planks incorporated in
the Socialist platform. which has
been popularized by hard work and
self sacrifice on the part of the
Socialists of the United States. I'm
less vigorous measures are taken by
the Appeal Army and the Socialist
party we will see, in this campaign,
the fruits of our endeavor Temperate
ly swept aside. Roosevelt is am
bilious to be the Bismarck of the
United States. He proposes to kill
the Socialist movement by pretending
conversion to some of its radical
measures and to sweep into power
on the crest of the wave of unrest
that now threatens to engulf the
capitalist system. Louis XVI vainly
tried the same tactics.

Advice to Boys and Girls

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have
little bank account of Their own, even
though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible SUM.
Children who commence an &C
count on a penny, nickel, or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become a capitalist is
to co mmence now to save the
pennies.

Wem mitt-Weinle.

On Tuesday morning at the Catholic
chapel in Fowler occurred very pretty
wedding, the contracting parties being
Miss Elizabeth Mary Weinle, only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. Weinle of
Pittsford and Moses w. Wemmitt of
this village. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Father u. A. Lynch of
Pittsford. Lohengrin' wedding march
was artfuly rendered by Miss M.
Roach, accompanied by Miss Agnes
Connolly on the violin, as the wedding
party entered the church.
Miss Cecle Tennien sang "Veni Jesu
Amor Mi,' and during the ceremony
Miss Agnes Carrigan sang 30 Promise
Me-" The bride was gowned in white
satin with trimmings of Irish point lace.
She wore large white picture hat and
carried bridal roses. She was attended
by Miss O'Brien of Brandon who wore
white embroidered batiste and a black
hat. John Weinle of Pittsford was
best man.
A reception was given at the home of
, the bride to the immediate friends and
relatives. The bridal pair were the
recipients of many beautiful and useful
presents. They left on the 2:05 train
for a two weeks wedding trip, after
which they will reside in this village,
where Mr.. Wemmit is employed in the
plumbing establishment of A. Calhoun
& Son. Among those from out of town
attending were Mrs. Della Wemmitt
and Miss Lottie Dillon of Middlebury.
