There -% nothing more str; King- in the etory of the Christ than the phraae: "He steadfastly set His face to go .'tb Jerusalem." It is a sentence that might well be set high ii the memory of every young man and woman who may read these lint 1 ? The greatest temptation that sweep: over one's life was met by Hi:n That temptation is to turn asiri fr<-m the plain path of duty; th U .-.lptation to let go and "climb v; some other way." Whatever we ma; think of the temptation in the wil derness, the sum of it was: "Tun * aside from the Divine p&jth; do no. go to your throne by the pathhwa,\ of suffering; come with me and 1 will show you an easier way.". J \vr\s the temptation to gain the victory without the cross that thre^ ite shadow over Him. But agains this temptation, as against all 01 ers of a similar kind, He set li' face, and steadfastly went toward 1 goal God had set for Him. He h;; a face of flint, and nothing- could tun him aside.. That spirit of ,st«ad fastn«H, that face of flint, is needet to-day. We need to put a bolder front toward the tempter. — Baptist Union.
