tiles for evil that he finds in himself.
The saintliest Christian knows best
his own sinful potentialities.
Every readers honest soul re-
spends af1irmatively when I say that
temptation comes to all of us. Jesus
Himself was not immune. One Of
the great spiritual experiences Of
that perfect Life came when, step
ping down from the exaltation and
ecstacy of His baptism and the Di-
vine appreciation that accompanied
it, He went apart into the wilder
ness for 40 days to test His soul
1t was real wilderness, bare,
brown. desolate, with beasts of prey
lurking about, into which jesus de-
parted alone. An American clergy
man was recently captured by BAN
dts and kept hidden in the caves Of
this region of waste. From Jeru-
salems walls one may look to the
south and behold this mountainous
desolation of the Wilderness Of
Judea.
AS real as the wilderness was the
temptation of Jesus. 1t was no
staged performance. no make be-
lieve,
"As idle as painted ship upon a
painted ocean,"
This lonely. hunger-emaciated
Man could have succumbed to temp
tation, even as you and I. He was
sustained by no powers that are not
at the command of any one of us.
He was tempted in all points like
as we are, yet without sin"
Is There a Devil?
Satan has gone out of fashion in
our day, but not out of business.
For the word "sin' We have substi-
teted "self-expression." Instead of
resist the devil we say ''obey that
impulse" And out of this new
philosophy of the liberty of human
nature to be its worst as we'll as it's
best self has developed such an era
of vulgarity, shallowness, sensuality
and crime as this Western World
has never before known. The new
world war is natural sequence of
the SHINING by nations and by indi-
viduals.
There are two horns of this di-
lemma Of the devil. Either we must
accept the Bibles explicit teaching
of malign and powerful personal
lty. the perpetual foe of God and of
good, the Prince of the air" who
ircites us humans to do wrong; or
else We must admit that human ma
ture, in its innermost essence. has
diabolical tendencies. I, for one,
am not willing to admit that my
fellow men are so devilish that they
can accomplish the evil that is in
the world today without the incite-
ment and support of Satan.
AS Billy Sunday used to say. IT
know there is devil, because I've
done business with him. Everybody
