life of compromise made no appeal
/ to him.
Long before this you have seen
that the young man of whom we
are speaking is Jesus Christ, and
the problem he was facing is what
we call His tempa tion in the wild
erness. There are two ways of look
ing at the temptation of Jesus. W e
can think of it as unique, some
thing apart from the common ma
ture of manf Or, and | believe
more properly we can see him as
the great type of humanity, en-
bracing in his experience all that
is most vital in the life Of mankind.
To treat the story of the temp
tation other than as d drama of the
soul is to rob it of its deepest sig
nificance. Treated as bald literal
ism, it becoems unreal, theatrical,
unconVlnclng; treated as a drama
of the soul, it becomes what it was
in reality, part of the experience
of mankind, convincing, convicting.
The truest way of looking upon the
temptation is to consider the eX-
perience typical to man. Clearly we
are told this story, not alone to
enhance our lord or to exemplify
His strength, but to make US feel
that which is common to US all,
that VEN ay be stirred by his eX-
ample and strengthened by the as
surance of His knowledge and
understanding of our own hearts.
If this is 50, we can see in any
one who looks out on life seriously,
thoughtfully, and profoundly in the
light OF the knowledge of the love
OF God, questions arising like unto
the problems Christ faced. Some
of YOU are also standing with the
period of your preparation com
pleted, or at any rate at the turn
ing point in the chapter of life.
What is to be your guiding prin-
ciple?
If you have strong wills. domi-
nant personalities, clear concept
ions of what this world needs and
waht service you can render, temp
tltjons will come to you to turn
stones into bread, to sulmount OBJ
stacleS which are in your path, to
dominate over life. There is moth
ing that is necessarily wrong in
this. Personalities and Wills are not
given to Us from below, but from
above. They have a use. Why
should we not assert ourselves? We
have seen of late some ver,- out
and-out apostles of this doctrine.
1t is the gospel of strength, of
might, of the forcing of our will
and way upon reluctant nature or
human nature. To turn stones into
bread may be thought of as equiv
alent for making waste places into
fields of waving grain, and we have
long commended the man who
makes two blades grow where ma
ture had designed but one to grow.
We cannot turn our backs upon
the sacred rights of personality,
but should life be lived in this
spirit? Guarding against this, shall
we go to the other extreme, allow
ing ourselves to be fashioned by
life, passive, acquiesqcent, non-re-
sistant, being content with life as
we find it, preaching to ourselves
and all we meet submission? We
recognize this frame of mind in
what is the comparativel-- new cult
of pGclfiSm, or passive resistance.
But it is a fatal attitude of mind.
1t Is not right for Us who are

The combine. in addition to extens-
i've East Indies possessions, owns

U. s. Steel Corp'n
Untitled Tonnage
Up 1894 Tons
Brings Total Bookings tor
the Highest Point Since
March, 1921; Increase
Is Larger Than Expected

Orders on the books of the United
States Steel Cooperation at the end OF
August called for the delivery ds
5.e50.t05 tons of steel, according 20
the monthly statement on untitled ton
mage issued yesterday This total rep
resents an increase Of 1884 tons, as
compared with tho aggregate reported
on hand as of July 81, and brings
bookings to the highest point stree
March, 1921. The gain compared with
lao. $50 tors in July.
The increase in untitled tonnage Pc
ported by the leading factor In the
industry was substantially in excess
of what had been anticipated in Hnan-
cial circles, where the maxim9m gain
forecast was only slightly above 10o,-
600 tons. This expectation was based
on the known retarding effect upon new
business of the 20 per cent wage sd-
vance, which went intc force or Sep
tenlber I snd subsequent price unset-
tlement. There is another factor bear
ing upon untitled tonnage which ap~
parently had greater influence than
was calculated in advance, /. e. the
slowing down in operations and de-
liveries owing to the railroad snd coal
strikes during August The low peint
Of operations was reached during the
first part Of the month with subsequent
recovery.
The following tabis gives q eoruvars-
sen OF the untitled tonnage on the
Steel Corporations books al the end
of each month, frum January 20
August, inclusive, during the last three
years.

A Contrast In Yields

The recent decline In Liberty bond
prices, which the current recovery has
by no means Offset, has left these Sc
curities on yield basis where they
appear decidedly cheap in contrast to
the returns available on other tax
exempt securities. Within the week,
the price Of New York City AZ per
cent corporate stock remaining in the
syndicate's hands has been marked up
to 1oAh, the Porto Rico and Oregon
sales have established new top marks
on the movement, and at least one Of
fering, involving City of Schenectady
bonds, has been made at price to
yield the investor less than per cens.
In contrast, Fourth Liberty per cent
bonds closed yesterday at a price TO
yield 424 per cent, tho First 4As TO
yield 4.21 per cent, and the Second Is
Ala per cent. Bonus legislation, the
switching of banks and other Investors
to corporate securities and the expect
ations of popular government loan
have been among the factors operating
to unsettle Liberty bonds, where's
progress of other divisions Of the tax
exempt market has ben more steadily
upward.

NOW IN ITS THIRD HOME
Steeplo on Massachusetts Church Prob
ably Holds the Record for
Change of Abode.

On a church in Arlington, Massa-
chusetts. there was recently put in
place a steeple that has made three
journeys since first it was erected,
some 40 years ago on the Boylston
market in Boston. After remaining a
long while in its original position, the
Steeple, along with the market, was
moved back a considerable distance in
connection with a street widening
When the property finally became too
valuable for the continuance of a
wooden building in the center of the
city, the market was demolished and
the steeple became part of a brewery
building in the Charleston district of
Boston, making a trip of about five
miles. With the coming Of prohibition
the brewery ceased operations and the
buildings were remOdeled. The own
ers. learning that a small church in
Arlington would be glad to have the
Steeple. passed the structure along as
Il gift, and it made another five-mile
trip 10 its present useful position, with
the original clock and weather vane
all complete.
