The devil knew that men every
where were trying to feed them
selves on physical food and neglect
ing the spiritual food. Some are
working seven days in the week for
bodily food, robbing the soul and
God Of their dues. They not only

CunninEness Of Devil.
The devil took Jesus up on the
pinnacle Of the temple and tempted
Him to make an unnecessary dis
play OF his divine power. Jesus
could easily have leaped from the
temple, but He would not: Christ
had appealed to the word and the
devil followed suit
The devil said. 1T IS written He
viii give his angels charge and left
out that part that did not suit His
purpose" This method OF quoting
the Scripture has been followed ever
since. Men leave out that which does
not suit them and prove their points
Jesus says thou shalt not tempt thy
Lord thy Godi God has not promised
US protection when we rush into IN
necessary danger. Christ would not
work a miracle to please the devil
but he wrought hundreds 10 relieve
humanity We should learn from this
not to incur unnecessary danger
But when God tells Us to 90, or TO
DO We should obey and expect His
protection We pray that his VIII
pc done on earth as In Heaven. In
heaven, angels obey and leave all
the responsibility upon him who
commands. They have no fears Of
men or devils.
The devil showed Jesus all OF the
Kingdoms OF the CTorld and the glory
OF them, and said all these things
] VIII give thee II thou wilt fail down
and Wroship ne" The devil had
made two failures. but now he comes
again with most astounding offer.
The devil claimed that the Kingdoms
OF this world had been given him for
a season and Christ did not deny IT,
The history OF that period shows that
ne was In charge and he has not
given up his Job. He has turned this
earth into hell Never in the his
tory Of the world did the devil have
a more complete control Jesus
falling back on the surfare again
SAID; 1t is written thou shalt Wor-
ship the Lord thy God and Him only
shalt thou serve"
What shOuId He Do.
Let US look a little more closely
into this temptation Christ had
kingdoms Of this world. This was
his mission herei Now By bowiug
10 the devil He could get them in a
moment OF time Should He not bow
Or should he spend years OF suffer
ing the SCOTS Of Jew and gentieG
Shall He endure that awful night
u the garden. where great drops OF
blood as sweat fell from the pores
OF his skin2 Shall He endure those
mock trlalse Shall he wear that
crown oL thornsE. Shall He suffer
that infinite suffering upon the
CROSSE That made the sun veil his
lace ana refuse TO see his Maker die7
DID Jesus look down the ages and
see and sufferings Of the church
The cruel deaths OF the uartvrs7 on
yes, He saw II all But to worship
ne devil was 10 dethrone-to betrav
Bis own souship-
The devil had possessions, but II
All belonged 70 Godi Thank God this
.nconceivably great temptation was
liso resisted The greatness of
esus' soul was stirred and Ne com
handed the devil to get behind Him.
Ihanks be to God who giveth Us
ne victory through Jesus Christ our
1ord- had Jesus yielded TO any OF
.hese temptations He would 6ava
iinneds and the world would have
leen lost to all eternity Gods plan
ana the only plan that could be de-
'lsed would have been defeated. and D.
leu would have been our eternal I
lomei The devil knew the power OF 4
Forldly ambition and he still uses II.
Men bow TO the devil TO get what
properly belongs to God The
flngdoms OF this world and the zlorv
lf them have led millions to for

and emperors and presidents have
Faded through seas OF blood 10
