thick with the soot of many fires,
was placed over him. The guests
mildly puzzled at the request foi

Lorenzo Dow promptly took over
“My friends,” he began, “some
one stole a purse last night from
one of the guests of this hotel. It
may be that the thief is here pres
ent. If so, we will soon find him
out. If he wants to confess and
be forgiven, this is his opportuni
ty.” He paused for a minute or
two. Then, when one one re
sponded, he continued.
“You will now please form a
line, and, when I give the sig
jnal, file past this table. The pot
has, underneath it, a rooster. As
you go past, you will please each
touch the pot with the fingers of
your right hand. If the thief is
among us, his presence will be re
vealed. For when he touches the

A hush fell over the little com
pany, as the manager quietly low
ered the blinds, shutting out much
of the light. Then Lorenzo Dow
gave the signal and the guests be
gan walking solemnly by the pot,
each lifting his hand to touch it.
Nothing, however, was heard
■ from the rooster. When the last
man had passed by, and there was
still silence, the guests looked at
one another. “The wonder-work
ing Dow has failed this time,”
they seemed to be saying to them

But Lorenzo Dow was serene. -
“Raise the blinds,” he ordered;
and then “will you now please
hold up, each of you, his right

Memory Selection. “Because he
himself has suffered and been

Lesson Tsiftt Matthew 4*l-11.
This lesson discusses -Jesus’
temptations and attempts to re

today. This lesson also reveals
an important experience in Jesus’

Immediately after the bhptism

away from toe presence of men to

(Mark IM2). Here toe devil canie

-Jesus answered: “Man shall not

mouth of God.” (Matthew ’4:l-4).
, Jesus likewise made short shrift

casting doubt on that which is be
lieved.
As with the other temptations,
Jesus was adamant He was ada
mant on the question of allegi
ance. He recognized that ther«
was no question of divided allegi
ance. On the nature of the King
dom and plans for its establish
ment there could be no compro
mise. There exist some eternal
principles that are constant. One
principle Jesus affirmed was su
preme loyalty to God. Here he
took his stand against any divided
allegiance, even though toe temp
ter pointed out that it might has
ten his reaching of his goal. Even
the most casual student of the
world’s history will be convinced
that the soundness of Jesus’ po
sition is unquestionable.
History has repeatedly confirm
ed the soundness of devotion to
principles. The Allies discovered
the hard way that there can be no
compromise of principles and loy
alty to those principles in deal
ing with Adolf Hitler just prior
to World War 11. Appeasement
did not work then, and it will not
work in the future. Russia, to
day, is playing a game of politics
with the Western world, and
when she expresses her desire for
a summit conference, we are con
fronted by memories of broken
agreements and flaunted promis
es. This is not to say that we,
ourselves, as a nation, are with
out blame. By compromising
with dictators in countries which
have valuable natural resources
