Moral Struggles Os Men Transcend Political Issues Things That Count Most In Life Are Those As fecting Individual Character — Sharing Man’* Common Lot, Jesus (> rappled With t* unaament al Tempetations.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Newspapers muke much of politics and of world affairs; but readers are far more interested in their own personal problems, most of which have to do with character and conduct. Indeed, it we reason the matter through, we see that these individual questions are really basic, too, and determinative of the supposedly larger political issues. That was shown dramatically when the recent Franco-British peace proposals ran counter to the moral sens of the British people, and the government was obliged to reverse itself. Push the theme to its limit, and we find that what goes on in th< minds of men or women is the ultimate force in life. That is whoy moral questions must always be supreme. It is folly to suppose that whatever happens to the character of a single person is without significance to the general welfare. Nobody has a right to do as he pleases, when the fate of society is at stake. What If Jesus Had Fallen? Forever dramatized for the race in the case of Jesus is this fundamental question of the temptations of the individual. Suppose Jesus had yielded to temptation- He could have yielded; for the temptation was a real and soul-torturing experience, and He was completely man. What a different story the history of the past 2000 years would have been had Mary's Son succumbed to powerful and insidious wiles of Satan! One reason we have not more great men to lead us in this era cf dire need is that so many have surrendered to one or more of the three major temptations of the evil one. it is moral character we need today more than intellectual subtlety. Jesus conquered the devil by no power that is not at the command Os every Christian. And His example is a thundering indictment of the weak-willed modern mood which discards the old meaning of temptation, and regards every beguilement and impulse as an opportunity for new experiences. Temptation is t“mptation, devil-incited: and it comes to every human being as an occasion for the victory of the spiritual over the carnal. As For The Devil There were two actors in this awesome drama in the wilderness —which was perhaps the gorge of the Jordan River, the shores of the Dead Sea or the desolate moun- «•*««•»• • »»**«»• The Sunday School Lesson for January 19 is How Jesus Was Tempted.—Luke 3:21-22; 4:1-13. *♦»»»»»» ♦ »»*»»♦»

i tains south of Jerusalem. The first lof course, was Jesus, fresh from . Ills ecstatic experience of baptism . by John in the Jordan, and of heav- . enly recognition of His mission. [ The awesomeness of that hour . drove Him into the wilderness to ( ‘‘find Miself.” All of His exquisite , sensitiveness was i u. A modern . psychologist co"' xplafn the pert - il of reaction such a tense and . exalted mood, s was His wont. , Jesus turn ' to the silence and j lonelincr nature for poise and , prayer 1 rty days He continued arniar' e desolation which He [ sha- only with packals and oth|er ,ld creatures. ut Satan was there also. Nowadays it is wnolly unfashionable to believe in the devil. Highbrows . laughed at Billy Sunday's constant , personification of the devil. Yet Billy, like Jesus, had Scripture and . experience io support his belief. He said: "I know mere Is a devil, because the Bible tells me so, and because I've done business with him.” In the light of what has always been going on in the world, and of what every day's newspaper reveals, we are forced to accept the ' alternative of a diabolical human 1 nature, or of some agency, outside , of man, who incites to evil. I prefer to believe the latter. Old Satan is still doing business with men • and women. And it is always possible, as the temptation of Jesus makes clear, to resist and over--1 come the devil. The weapons employed by the Master are ready at every Christian's hand. One writer has epigrammatically summed up , our present situation; "Today men belive in God without serving Him. and serve Satan without believing I in him." I The Bread And Butter Question As a clever fighter, Satan always attacks at the weakest point. 1 He found Jesus physically hungry and nervously exhausted. So he prove His adroitly suggested that He prove I His character by turning stones into bread. What could be wrong in that? Os late years government's have had to face the food issue. Confucius said, more than twenty-five hundred years ago that the first business of government is to feed the people. Failure here is a collapse of civilization. Jesus never denied this. His reply to the tmpter was the Scripture's "Man shall not live by bread ALONE.” There we have the big blunder of the twentieth century—the assumption that material gratification comes first and is all-suffi-cient. Dire events are demonstrating that a purely material civilization will not work. Our deepest need today is for an awakening ot spiritual consciousness.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1936,

The Great Compromise Every business man, every public leader, every ambitious youth, cun well understand the significance of the second temptation of Jesus, when Satan offered Him a shortcut to the fulfillment of His mission byway of compromise. He showed the Master all the kingdoms of the world and said. "These are yours at once, if you will but come to terms with me.” This was the easy way to power, with no cross on it. For the sake of the main end sought, and "for the good of the cause,” many a man has struck the bargain. Not a day passes that this temptation to compromise does not assail individuals and institutions. Few are brave enough to say, with Jesus, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve.” Good success, and a life of peace and victory, are possible only to those who will be true to God in every crisis. Faith, For Display Or Use? Last of the three temptations was Satan’s challenge to Cnrist to presume upon God's care. Let Him least Himself down from the pin I nacle of the temple, and prove that ' the Father would protect Him. But faith is not for needless display, but for real use. Another thrust of the sword of the Spirit, “It is written,” drove the adversary from the field — and there followed a period of peace and angelic ministry. The Lesson? First, that in every staint is a potential sinner; and >n every sinner a potential saint. And, second , “For in that He Himself hath suffered, being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted.” SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Be truthful, be accurate; we always weaken what we exaggerate. —La Harte. * « * There are two ways iu which people pass through life: They pass through remembering God. or they pass through forgetting Him. | —Anon.
