With tbe Jlquor traffic uncontroll~d onSun­days or' weekdays, a table of statistics made up from the police records for the year endEd October 1, sbows that the arrests for drunk. enness and allied misdemeanors on the Sun­days of that period averaged 10 55. As the population is 290,000, the average of arrests for drunkenn~s~ per 1,000" of .population on Sunda'ys was .0364. When asked for a po. lice view of the laws relating tQ Sunday clos· ing in thatcity,Secretary Haukohl, of the po· lice department, made this statement:

"Thel'e is no city ordinance regarding clos, ing saloons on ~unday, but there is a" state law forbidding the sale of liquor on that day. That law is a dead->letter, however, and· even the ministers have made no attempt to en· force it for the last thirteen years. Milwaukee is by no means an exception in thil'l, however, as I know of no attempt to enforce the law in t,he state in recent years, exrept onc.a. when .

INTRODUCTION. Tbere has i)eim much speculation' as to the

precise significance of tbe baptism of jeRus. However this que .. tion ~ay be settled, the baptism of Jesus marked the beginning 01 bis public . life. We canoot doubt that bis kinsmen an.d nighbors had noticed bis kindly deed8 towords his fellowmen, and his intense de· votion to duty. No one had bowever thought of !Jim as de'stined to any higber life than that of t.he village ..' -

earpenter. During all' the8e years of quiet waitin~ JeBuR had

been" growing jn consciousness of himself and of his '/!:reat misMion. Now that John has arou"ed the p"ol'le to enthusiasm for the establishment of Gild's kioll.'dom, and has begun to teach them that it i8 a Bpidtual' king­dom ,Tesut! is stirred to come forth from retirement Ilod '. . to be rtlady for any-part in the great work tbllt may be for him to perform.

As soon tl1en as J eRUS bad iQ a sense~bpen initia.tE'd iuto bi~ liIe work tbrough Baptism t.here came' to him

. the great testing time. Would be' be guided by right. moth'es and principle8 .. i'l hi8 -work of estoblishing the kingdom or would be yield to evil methods for the sake of 8peelly Sl]('ce~s? He W8S tempted afterward; but thiR WIlS his firo:lt 11011 mos~ con~picllous battle with tbe evil one.

1. Led up ot the Spirit. The Holy Spirit did not plan bi8 temptation. In, view of the wond~l'a of hill baptism Jesus relt impelled to retire into the wilderness' for med­itation upon his great work, and it was just upon thoiL occasion hecause he wos thinking of how he was to ·act tbat Satan found occasion to tempt· him to wrong metbods in his work. 7'he wilderness.'"

2. And when he had Ia.sted,· He was doubtless so Iilled with tboughts of hi" relation to Gl.d "and to the great work of the kingdom 'that be did' not note the luck ot· iood. He atterward hungered.

3. 1d the tempter came and saId, etc, We. are to realize that thl' account of the temptatfon is in bigbly figul'Utive lan~uage. Of course our Saviour would bave b~en tempted notlitull if be knew;that'lit was Satan who made the ~uggestiori to him, and on the ot.her hand he would not hn,'e listened to anything thllt /-Iatan would suy. It is pl'obable tbut a sp~ctator of J,,~u,,' tempta­tions during this pPJ'iod would bave seen no more tban' a man wrapt, in thought seated upon a stone or. wan· dering about in the wilderness. Tbe temptation ·was certainly real, eyen if we must cone.ude that it was alt;'gpthet in the tbougbt dour Silviour, If thou art the Son ot (Jod, 'I'he devil did liot intend to Ca"t doubt upon the fact that Jesus was the 80n of Gild, rather to .use .this supposid.ln os a bashl for tempta­tion. t-!ince he was the Son of God he surely ought not 1.
