The Devil Is Smart

NATAN Is persistent devil. He

he will be back again with the
same temptation in another pack
age. It was so with Jesus. We must
not think that Jesus was tempted
to low and ugly sins. People are
tempted on the level where they
live
After the Baptism, II rot be-
fore, he was fully awake to the
fact that he was Gods beloved
Son, that IL was his HespOn-
sibility TO begin the Kingdom
Of GOd;" he knew he had .
position and . power that no
one else on earth had ever had.
The problem was: How should
he use this position and this
power?
Each Of the three temptations in
the wilderness had something to
do with that problem. Two Of the
temptations, at least, were not to
do anything wrong in itself. Each
time Jesus was tempted to choose
something less than the best. And
choosing less than the best, when
the best can be had, is sin.

instrument of torture Hermeticaly sealed except

interior about the size of small closet Volunteers
spend from three days to two weeks inside it,
approximating the routine of daily living and

BY measuring the food they ate and the amount
of heat they gave off through the outlet, Atwater
was able to calculate for the first time the body's
use of food energy and the calorie consumption
necessary in various types of jobs.
He got into hot water over one calorimeter prof.

scores low.
Another early Atwater study sought to find out
how much energy was consumed in mental work.
College students took exams in the machine, and
others did abstruse mathematical calculations.
The results were astonishing. Apparently, little
or no energy was consumed. More recent re-
search has proved that an enormous amount
of brain-work could be done on the energy
contained in a single peanut.
