the steak, who stood this sort of thing for

till, finally, his bullying tormentors prob
ably having applied some opprobrous
epithct to him, he onened his mouth to re

To make them heirs of endless bliss in heaven
And e'en on earth the child of God can trace
The glorious blessings OF his savior grace.

For them he wore

Endured its pain,


That His life's loss


Might be their gain.

While il is true that no one can escape
temptation entirely, there is no doubt
that he can largely modify its influence.
The temptations which inhere in a mans
moral make up he cannot wholly run
away from, how much soever lie may
desire it, because it is evil in him, as
disease is in the tainted blood. But he
can largely modify its action and lessen
its virulence. One way to do this is to
keep himself from sights and sounds and
surroundings which infiame his passions
and sharpen the edge of his appetites.-
If his temptation is in the direction of
stimulants, then let him avoid the sight
and smell of liquor and the companion
ship of those who drink. So, whatever
his weakness, let him keep beyond the
reach of whatever can penetrate him at
that point. The Indian method of fight
ing it is an excellent one in spiritual
warfare. The soldier of Christ should
keep himself under cover as much as he
can. good deal of lodging is alIowa-
BILE in contest with Satan. '.Discre-
ton is.the better part of valor," ar times
and it is better to beat mastery retreat
than to have your soul captured bodily.
Aman who is morally weak at any point,
and who nevertheless, persistently ex-
poses that point to attack, commits the
gravest of sins. When the great adver-
sary was striving to tempt Jesus to ex-
pose himself needlessly,t to peril, he said,
''It is written thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God. ."-Golden Rule.
