Shields Against Tempta-
ton.
Sermon BY
REV. FLOYD w. TOMKINs.
Texts Ephesinns vi. 1918.

1t would be a sorry condition for us
II We had to fight temptation all alone
and without any weapons OF orense and
defense. Human strength and human
intelligence are not big enough to cope
with Satan; they must be supplemented
b, truth and righteousness. tho gospel
and faith. salvation and the Holy Spirit.
the Bible and prayer These eight
blessings are tho preparation which
God gives and happy is he who accepts
and uses them. for he has God on his
side and. therefore. he can defy all his
enemies II is the old message-eter-
nally true-a man must be a Christian
IL he would be successful in life's
battle.
We must not think that these wea-
pons will keep temptation away. Satan
knows no fear. for he even du'ed to
tempt Christ. Moreover. these trials
are 10 be looked upon as part OF our
education. ct. James says wa are to
count 1t n Joy when they come. Tor
they are proof that the devil thinks
we are Gods children and SO he seeks
10 rob God Of His heritage. / have
often pondered upon those lines OF the
old hymn:
Did l meet no trials here.
No temptations by tho way,
Might I not, with reason, fear
should be castaway?"

SUBJECT OF VACATIONS
Is AGAIN DISCUSSED
Presbyterian Publication Urges That
Facntionless Preachers Grow Mar
row Become Autonntons.

Continuing the discussion OF pastors
vacations which has evoked wide In
terest this fall. the Presbyterian Stand
ard comments as follows:
Now that vacations are over and have
become portions and parcels OF the
mighty past, 1t Is a good time to con-
slider the general subject. without rails
inS prejudice in the minds OF our
readers
In the past a vacation was regarded
as luxury, which not one preacher in
fifty had the face to ask for. Now,
however. the preacher who does not
take one is an exception. or course,
this state of affairs has come about
through much tribulation. There have
been several funerals in various fields
before such q thing could even be dis
cussed. with the result that the rising
generation is growing up with the Idea
that vacation for the preacher Is as
necessary as his salary or a manse.
Now there is a reason for this change.
else the people would not so readily
fall in with II, nor would our self
denying pastors accept 1t. We are liv-
Ing in nerve-straining age, and the
demands OF the modern pastorate are
far greater and more eXacting than
they have ever been before In the his
tory OF the church. So great are the
demands upon the nerve force OF the
average pastor that when summer
comes, he needs relaxation, unless YOU
want to see him n mental wreck. or
mere automaton.
TIMES AND PEOPLE
ARE CHANGING
Then we must remember that where
as in the past people rarely left homo.
now they do, as far as they are able
Some who can. do not; but they never
develop. but become more narrow In
their ideas every year.
Occasionally one hears a pastor boast
that he never takes vacation. All of
us have heard OF the hard shell preach
err who boasted that he had no "larn-
ing" and had never rubbed his back
against a college wall. forgetting that
if he had, he would have been a far
more efficient preacher.
So with the vacationless preacher.
however efficient he may be. he would
be far more so. II he would mingle with
others and broaden his ideas. and get
out OF ruts. ALL of which can be OBJ
tained by a vacation. 1t Is a blessed
fact that the churches are approaching
the value OF n vacation for their pastor,
and pastors are faithfully using the
vacation time for the purpose for which
Ii Is given.

the people of his state would stand by
President Wilson in whatever course

war with either Germany or Mexico.
The people stand for peace. but peace
with hohor. and they are hoping the
President and other officials of the ad-
ministration will be able to follow that
path"
Senator Martin said this expressed
his own views. He said that Secretary
Bryan did not express an opinion on
the matter during his conference with
him. but added: II take 1t for granted
