"My Beloved Son" John, who was the forerunner of the Master, was preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and there were coming unto him people from all over that portion of the country, for he was giving some straight truths. He was proclaiming the "coming of the kingdom," and said unto his listen ers, "Repent, for the kingdom of of Heaven is at hand.." There were coming to him and list ening to his preaching1 Pharisees and Sadusees, and John the Baptist had said unto them: "Ye generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" for they had been sticklers for the law and had denied the very truth thereof. They had not come in the spirit of ,the law and were indeed hypocrites, which John called them. Many were attending the service and were bap tised in the liver Jordan. Ther cometh Jesus from Gallilee to Joruan to be baptised of John. When Jesus asked to have the bap tism given him, John did not feel competent, as he knew this was in deed the son of God, and Baid, "I have need to be baptised of you; how comest thou to me?" God Calls Him His Son Jesus said unto John, "Suffer it to ze so, for thus it becometh us to ful fill all righteousness." And so John consented and baptised Jesus. Fol lowing the baptism, as Jesus was coming out of the water, a voice the voice of God said, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleas ed."

BRIGGS of the living God and the Savior of the world. We need no further testimony that this is true.

The Devil Tries His Wiles Then was JeBUs led up by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil, and there he was for forty days and had nothing to eat or drink, and when the forty days was ac complished, ho was truly very hun gry, and the devil taking advantage of his knowledge of the fact said, in a torturing manner: "If you be in deed the Son or God, command these stones to bo made bread, and do not suffer from hunger. While the pangs of hunger were acute, Jesus said: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." The devil then taketh him to the city and placing him on the pinacle of the temple, said: "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for He has declared he will give his angels charge over thee to protect thee, lest thou cast thy feet against a stone, and they will bear thee up on their wings." Jesus said, "Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord, thy God." Then said the devil, when he had taken Jesus to an exceedingly high mountain, showing Jesus the entire world and the glory of It, "If you will fall down and worship me. I will give you the entire world. Then said Jesus to the devil, "Qet thee hence, Satan: for it is written, 'Thou Bhalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.' " Then the devil left him and the angels ministered . into him. Well, shall we pray? "Lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from all evil."
