It Is perhaps Indifferent whether one believes this a literal approach of a personal devil,, or a.figurative description of n moral utrupgle entirely subjective. The first temptation was to usa the miracle working power (of which he had Just come to consciousness) purely for per- j (tonal ends?. and untrustfully of his I Kather'e care. The second temptation | was to create an emergency which would tost his Father's care. The third solicitation was to the double service God and mammon. It has been weh said: "After ull, what the devli^Ooes In the desert Is to sum up In expressive symbols the. whole programme of the false Messianic dreams of the* Jews, who only disguised under holy words a carnal and earthly ambition." . . . Where the first Adam so lgnomlnlously j failed in the transit from natural Inno cence to the holiness of choice, the second Adam triumphed gloriously. He did this, too, as man, not as God. It was the victory of our humanity, as Jesus perfectly Identified himself with u.?: Just such a victory as each of us may win. The weapons he used, also, are the Very ones we ore to handle: Faith, prayer. Scripture. As Jesus, In his human nature, was made perfect by his successful resistance of tempta tion. so shall we be. There is both ex emplary and Inspirational force In the temptation of Jesusi He was tempted es we are. He was tempted in his hu- | man nature. He resisted and conquer ed as a man. We may, we must tread the same way. MOSAIC FROM COMMENTARIES. Was led up: Purely voluntary on his part. J. F. B. By an Inward Impulse.

T^heywer. re-enforced by a, marked addition of outside Interests In the market was shown by the large number of orders In speculative stock, placed with the commission houses. There was alto a continual abnorptlon of bonds or Pi* scrlptlons, very heavy order, being placed In the high grauo shares as well as In the speculative Issue, and mod. erato grade bond., lne pressure for fund, for reinvestment, whlchhas been relcaseu by the January dividend and Interest payment, was very obvious. There was also a marked weakening" of the rates for money, notwithstanding the lively a-wakentnic of speculation. Efforts were made by ine banks anu money lenders to keep the rate for money a? high as 3 per cent. Loan, were In fact placed at 3^4 per cent, but the rate sagged off to 2 per cent, ar.d the last loan of the day only command ed 2V4 per cent. Owners of money were also lively bidder, for commercial pa per. This served to stimulate the spec ulative furore which seems . to have broken out. London was quite a large buyer In this market of several of the International stocks, notably- Union Pa cute and Louisville & Nashville. The Vanderbllts continued to r.oki the lead ing place on the rcportec determination of the controlling Interest In these prop erties to see traffic rates maintained. There was also a renewal of old1 re ports of a combination Involving these lines and looking to through irans-con tlnental trafllc. The most conspicuous movement in the market was that Iire Susquehanna & Western securities, due to the reporter passage of the control of the property to Erie Interests. The fears of minority stockhoxlera led to an unloading of their holdings and.a slump of 8 points In the common- stock without a recovery, and of 6 points in the preferred stock with a rally of over a point in the latter. The bonds of the company were very strong on the be lief that they would be guaranteed b> the new controlling company. This break caused a sympathetic weakness In all the coalers, and mild weather worked to the same end. The bitumin ous coal roads were, on the other hano. notably strong. There was evidence or realizing In parts of the list on the strength Imparted to the market by the general buying. Some of the leading railroad stocks show small net losses, but this tendency was most pronounced in the recently active stocks of local corporations. Manhattan1 became strong later on reports of a proposed change to electric motive power, and General Electric enjoyed a correspond ing benefit. Consolidated Gas advanced at one time 4 points, and Third Avenue nearly 5. The realizing of the last hour Invited by the day's notable rise af fected the specialties most, but its ef fect was quite marked throughout the list, reducing the day's net gains quite sharply in some cases. Net gains out side the coalers and a few specialties extend all the way from, a fraction to over a point. The abundant replenish ment of the local money market lias led to talk of the surrender by New lork banks of the rovernment deposits now in their vaults on account of the Union Pacific payment. The bond market continued very no tably active to-day, and a large num ber "of issues show gains of over 1 per cent. Total sales $4,550,000. U.

CHICAGO?Good milling demand and heavy exports again made a strong wheat market to-day out of a rather weak one, the May option closing at Hie advance over yesterday's figures. July was also strong, advancing ?*c. Corn and oats were firm, especially the latter, which closed %6%c higher.while corn advanced %c. Provisions closed 5? 12Vic higher. Wheat opened a shade under yester day's closing price, but soon recovered. For an hour the direction of prices was steadily but cautiously upward. From UOVtc at the start May had risen by 10:30 o'clock to Ul?4c bid. The early slight decline was due in part to reports of rain in California, where yesterday It was said wheat prospects were being Injured by drought. An advance at Liverpool of %d was not quite satis factory after a decline there yesterday 3f l"sd. Paris likewise quoted prices of wheat 35 centimes lower for near and 20 centimes lower for more remote de liveries. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 833 cars, against 507 the corresponding day of the week before, and 178 the similar day of last year. Chicago got thlrty-slx carloads, com pared with twenty-five a year ago. Of to-day's receipts only three cars were jontrnot, but seven cars and 16.000 bushels No. 1 northern spring was transferred from unlicensed to licensed house?. Trade was not heavy or othcr ivlne remarkable during the first hour jxeept for the gradual acquirement of Urength. That strength came fropi various sources.

The slgnaf service predicted rain to be followed by a cold wave for a largo part of the winter wheat country. The market received additional stim ulus from the Atlantic and Gulf port clearances which aggregated MO,000 bushels and by 11:30 o'clock May had advanced to Dlttc.

May Fold at 91!4c at tho close, the high point of the day. The market for corn broadened out some to-day and trading was fairly active nnd general. Price* were helped by the strength shown by oats and by the small country offerings. The rally In wheat was also quite Influential, as was the rattled condition of east-bound rail rates. May ranged from 29ftf?2914c to 29%c and closed He higher at 29H@ 29fcc. Oats led the course grains both In strength and In activity. Shippers were free bidders of futures and shorts were active buyers throughout. There was said to be a revival of the export de mand nnd claims of heavy business yesterday was made. The market was also helped by the break In rail rates. May ranged from 2-ft? to 23?ic and clos ed VS0%c higher at 23"*c. Provisions, though not especially ac tlvo were strong. The market at first showed some Inclination toward easi ness, but the strength developed In all the grain markets encouraged buyers and caused some covering by shorts. The selling was scattered.
