two previous occasions had made
attempts to end her own life

treatment for the drug habit in
Westbrook's Sanitarium at Rich
mond, being a patient at that
institution from October to Dec
ember, 1921.
Mr.. Sutton could recall nothing
unusual in her actions or conver-
sation on the night preceding
her death. He was awakened
by the discharge of the revolver,
and after bathing some Of the
blood from her face and neck,
dressed and went to the next
door residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. M. Thompson and requested
them to come his assistance. he

finement. She taught for sever

PICKED UP CHAIN
CAUSED EXPLOSION

Washington-A big tank truck
transporting gasoline was blown up
by terrific explosion on the street,
recently because nasserby who
didn't know what he was doing
picked up piece of chain. He saw
the chain dangling by one end from
the truck and thought he would pos
sibly save the truck from being
wrecked through fouling the chain
in one of the wheels.
The man didn't know the chain
was hanging there for purpose.
He didn't know that gasoline, un-
like water, is a non-eonductor of
electricity. Possibly he didn't even
know that flowing gasoline, espec-
tally when strained through such
materials as chamois skin filters
sets up considerable charges Of fric
tion or static electricity. But tina
was what caused the trucks des
| truction.

Complaint is sometimes made that
the automobile is interfering with
church attendance. 1t may lengthen
the journey of those who do not
want to go to church, but the buggy
could carry one far enough-and
those who had no buggy could walk
to be beyond the voice of the
preacher. The automobile can carry
people as long distance to church
as from church if the one at the
wheel has the right spirit within.
Sunday deseeration may be sup
pressed if the majority is against
it, but reformation is, in the long
run, more effective than repression.
Christ's answer is as pertinent to
day as it was 10 centuries ago.
Those who live by every word of
God will be proof against the devils
Establishments.
1t will be noticed that Christ did
not, at this time, make any reply
to the DEVILS taunt, IF thou be
the Son of God" 1t is weakness
to exercise ones strength just to
make show of strength. 81 dare
you" has been fatal to many boy
who took risk just to prove what
he could do. Strength is given uA
for use, when it can be employed
in service; it is wrong to use it just
to prove that we have it.
Taken Up Into a Mountain"
The second temptation appealed to
spirit not 80 universal as hunger,
but common enough to deserve re-
buke and harmful enough to justify
the powerful warning which Christ
put into His answer.
The devil took Him up into a
high mountain, showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world and offered
them to Him in return for worship.
fTaken up into a mountain" is
one of the most expressive phrases
borrowed from the Bible; those in
public life as well as those in busi-
ness have frequent occasion to use
it.

of lies, what hope have those of
lesser faith and devotion of travel
ing beyond the devils power to
annoy and to harassf
Luke tells us that this brazen and
impudent enemy of all good dared to
approach the sinless Saviour and to
test Him with the greatest of temp
tations that can be placed before
man. 1t is consolation for US to
know that Christ was in all points
tempted like as we are" and that
He has promised that His strength
shall be sufficient for us in the
hours of trial.
The First Temptation
There are many weak points in
mans armor; he has many easily
besetting sins. The devil selected
three points of attack on Christ and
each time the Saviour answered in
the language of the Bible.
The first temptation was address
sed to His physical needs after 40
days of fasting and it was strength
ened by an appeal to Christ's con-
scious. power: ''If thou be the Son
Of God, command this stone that it
be made bread"
Christ needed only to manifest His
power to rebuke Satan and satisfy
His own hunger; the power that
could make the water gush forth
from the smitten rock could con-
vert stones into bread. But Christ
answered.:
"It is written, That man shall
not live by bread alone, but by
every word of God"
The answer silenced the tempter
Christ lifted the discussion to higl
er plane, a plane to which the devi
could not ascend.
This is strategy of which tht
Christian may well avail himself
When we are tempted to allow our
selves to be absorbed in though
