NORWICH TOWN

Rev. Charles H. Ricketts,, pastor of
Greeneville Congregational church,
was in charge of a very helpful ser
vice at the Sheltering Arms, Sunday
afternoon. The Temptation of Our
Lord was the subject chosen by the
speaker, with reading from the fourth
chapter of the Gospel Of Matthew, in
which the eighth and ninth verses
were specially referred to- Rev. Mr.
Ricketts, said one great episode in the
life of our Lord was his temptations.
He spoke Of many different ways in
which Satan tempted Jesus, and the
many inducements laid before Jesus,
such as offering Him the Kingdom S
Of the World. if He would yield to sa-
tan's commands and worship him.
Jesus replied by saying, Get thee
hence, Satan. for it is. written. Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
Him only shalt thou serve.
The speaker further said: The fact
is the devil never was possessed of the
kingdoms of the world, though he
may have thought he was" therefore
he had none to give away
Man chooses his own pathway: what
appeals to one will not appeal to an
other. We all have temptations. The
temptations of Jesus were just as
SLfOuS DIS uudll s. temptations NOT u

us that are so powerful Internal Wis
ion of the worlds strongest tempta-
lions are what come to the heart
Some of the greatest men of the
world were tempted by the devil, and
so their lives ended in the pathway
they had chosen.
The great Christ had the power to
resist and was so strong as to say No
