In a tone announcement late yesterday, the Atomic Energy Com mission said the second in the cur rent aeries of hyrodgen teste was successfully carried owl” tort Fri day. It was the third thermonuclear explosion to U. S. history. It came just at days after a tltanttc H borob blast sent radioactive dust down on 379 persons to the Pacific and touched off demands to gome countries that Che tests be stopped.

ROBERT INSKO THE STORY OF THE TEMPTATION • ’fl After our Lord's baptism by St. John the BaptMg, 41 Jordan, we are told that he was led by the Spirit into tn ] wilderness. After the high experience of Holy Baptisi which was for Him not an experience of repentance mi remission, but of dedication to His life’s work, Jesus hi to pass through a time of testing. Mokes and Elijah had fasted forty days. The grei Flood lasted forty days and forty nights. The Israelite when shut out from the land of promise, wandered for days in the wilderness. Ezekiel, the prophet, was coi manded to bear the iniquity of the house of Judah for days. Evil doqrs, says the Book of Deuteronomy, we given forty stripes as a maximum. Hence, the forty da; of temptation and prayer and fasting in the *toildeme by our Lord Jesus Christ and hence, also, the forty da. of Lent which the Church now keeps. The temptations our Lord faced during these fqp , days were very real. They came to Him through doug being raised concerning Himself and His mission in ill He answered each of them, in the words of the writer Ephesians, with the “sword of the spirit which is the Woi of God.’’ In the story of the Temptation we are told of the thfl temptations faced by our Lord. First, idler becoming ve hungry, a voice said, “If thou art the Son of God, coi maim this stone that it be made bread. If God has sai •Thou art My beloved Son,’ surely He has given Thee poi er to make stones into bread.” Here is the temptation work a miracle to prove whether God’s word is true or nc true, that is, in saying that He, Jesus, be tile very Son God. During these forty days Jesus was using, as an al in His devotions the Book of Deuteronomy. HiS reply this first temptation comes from it. He said, “Map sW not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. The second temptation cathe as He seemed to be u on a high mountain. Before Him were all the kingdom of the world, the beauty of the rich valley of the Euphnll tes, mighty Rome, Egypt and the Nile, and thfe temptjl tion was to use the ways oi the world to win the work I but this meant bowing down to the “spirit of evil* aijl He knew this was not His mission, so again he replies il the words of the Rook of Deuteronomy, “No! Get thee btl hind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt WOrshfp tnl Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” ■ Then came the third temptation, to use some spel tacul&r method that would force men to believe in Hiifl On a great feast day He would simply jump from the vefl top of the Temple, and being the Son of God, God’s flfl gels would take care that no harm came to Him whsfl ever, and so alighting upon the ground below He woufl suffer no harm, which was absolutely impossible, uniefl He be the Son oi God, and, therefore, He would “mow His Sonship But our Lord knew that reall prove nothing, that there can never be a short-cut tfi anß thing really worthwhile, and again He utters the worfl of the Book of Deuteronomy, “It is said, Thou shalt nfl tempt the Lord thy God.” i Are not Christ's temptations our temptations, to sell only bread for the body and not “the bread of Life,” ■ worship that which we know deep down is not “God fl God, Light of Light,” to take the short-cut which is til one impossible path to the Christian way of life.
