A warrnn air mawwas expected to surge eastward from the Grbat Plains States today bringing a rapid rise in temperatures, bat forecasters said it would be replaced Saturday with another package of cpld air out of Canada. Clear »kies spread from the west coast almost to the Atlantic seaboard, but showers were in ste re for the East Coast from New England to South Carolina. Forest fires plagued the tinderdry northwest with no. rain in sight. Three major fires raged hi Idaho’s panhandle around Bandpoint. Forest officials said the fires were “just about under control’’ but “anything can happen unless we get rain soon.” .1 An urgent call for fire fighters was sent out at Missoula. Morjt., after a 20-acre -blaze “blew up” and spread to 200 acres about 80 miles northedst of Missoula. A violent rainstorm accompanied by winds of gale force struck New York City late Thursday, injuring 11 persons. Winds, clocked up Ito 76 miles-an-hour at LaGuardia A|rport, ripped a 50-foot section of roof from\ the' Staten Island forty terminal, and nine persons were hoepitaliaed. i Store window# were blown out and commuters huddled at otttlyip-g railroad stations for the torrential rains to subside. Hail pounded impstate New York for 15 minutes anti the temperature dropped ill degrees to 63 within five mtnutps. The south-west remained ‘‘dry as a bone/’ and authorities in Texjis and Oklahoma said good rains were desperately .needed.

■ . - . .jl • I P . '""’R" ■ HLS&llnte-MtOMl IH.U o I, • ‘ | Dedicating Life Lessen for October I. 1931 I INHERE ARE two ritSsea of perI * tons in tola world: the drifters I and the dedicated. Drifters'become I driftwood, cumbering a barren t shoro, or they float, waterlogged

and heipien, • e menace to more t important traffiO. j The dedicated, on . the other hand, have purpose ih their minds, they have a s course and a compass. They have somewhere to go. some reason for go--1 Ing there. But not t all the dedicated

L are alike. The vital question It: Ta . what is a man dedicated! 1 Stalin ts a dedicated mad; so are c Christian missionaries; so are politicians good and bad. The big <uestion remains: Dedicated to what? • to whom? • • • ‘ Dedicated to God I Object of all dedication is God; this always Includes de- ■ votion to his cause. To be dedicated . to God mbtons to be devoted, in ptir-y [ pbae and in action, in every way . that is possible, \to making this ! world—beginning With one‘s Own, . self—come fnto line with the ptay- ( er. “Thy will be done?’ The young man Jeitu, wheto story the Sunday school lesftons win be following through the Gospel by Matthew for the next six months, was of all persons the topmoat example of a life dedicated to God, Jeans did not drift into this. Dedication was . not automatic, inevitable. Jesus, not less than those he - calls his brothers and sisters, had to make up his mind to the ancient : demand:' Choose this day whom you ■ will serve.

The Power JESUfe WAS not • late comer to decision. Once Or more R has happened that a young man who cides to enter the ministry will surprise and even startle family and friends by this decision. But when Jesus “entered the ministry” (as we may rightly say hi did, after his baptism), it could have surprised none who had known him. He had always been await of being “about his Father’s business.” He did not pass from drifting to dedication, as most men must; he pasted from one stage of dedication to another. t Whatever questions the story of Jesus' baptism raises, one ( thing is certain: from and after that even Jesus knew htanself to be God’s special Representative* endowed with the Holy Spirit for the work he was to ib. Over and over in the Rew ftttamei)t we hear of the “power of the Spirit.” for the divine Spirit both brings power and is Power. Only the life dedicated to God,haw the power of God. ' The Problem IT IS a mistake to think that the dedicated li,fe is tree from problerhs. God will not weaken us by tnakmg our nhoices for us. Every temptation is an opportunity to choose, between God's way and Forne way that Is not God’S. Temptation may also present a choice not sb much between black and White, wrong and right;' as between good and better, right and more-right. Ong meaning of Jesus’ temptations was just th»t in them he had to think through the how of ? his dedicated life. He' was in-' deeJ God's beloved gon; tils work was indeed to save the World for God. But the question was. How? By turning stones into bread? By astonishing people with miracles sqoh as jumping unharmed off the Temple top? No; these were God’s way The last temptation was hqt as absurd aS it sounds. Whenever men have said, “Let us do evil that good may come,” whenever they have said that a noble purpose glorifies any method used to attain it. they have done what Jesus was tempted to do,—worship Satan. The Practice ' \ flfO, DEDICATIQN does not tree the dedicated from problems. But when life te put h> God’s disposal, with eatfh problem comes the pojwer to avoid wrong choice, to make the right one. Yet again there Is a condition: God will not retist ’ our temptations in our place. There is something we have to do for our selves. There lira practice required la It likely that Jeaws had never i« Ms lifetime been tempted before that day to the wilderness? 5«, he resists w ith the skill of long practice. The weapon he uses Is still ours to use i the WOrd of God. bdes that Weapon lie rusting un ‘ ! der ths dust at your house? Keep It bright by using iV as' Jesus did. , i.; l ' H . •
