THIS chaltya, the finest, largest and best preserved of its class, is sit- uated in Vehargaum, a small Indian village just north of Karle. The date of its construction is uncertain, but it was excavated at a time when the style was in its greatest beauty, for it em- + bodies all that is best in ancient Indian | architecture. A hint as to its period may be gleaned from the style and names included in the inscription: Peace! By Ushabhadata, the son of Dinika, the son-in-law of Raja Ksha harata Kashatrapa Nahapna. Arche- ologists would, therefore, place the date of construction somewhere near the year 100 B.C. The outer porch of this temple is con- | siderably wider than the body of the building, being 52 feet in width and 15 feet deep, and is closed in front by an outer screen composed of two octagonal pillats, without either base or capitals supporting what is now a plain mass of rock. Above this is a dwarf colonnade | or attic of four columns. In front of the outer screen stands the Lion Pillar (Sinhastambha), a plain slightly taper- ing shaft surmounted by a capital on | which stand four lions. The opposite | of the entrance formerly contained a similar pillar supporting the Chakra or wheel, emblem of the law. The interior is in a good state of preservation, as solemn and grand as any religious interior may be. Perfect lighting comes from one sourcz, the open screen above the door, and this arrange- | ment allows a strong ray of light to fall directly on the alfar, leaving the re- | mainder of the hall in comparative ‘obscurit,\'. Fifteen pillars on each side separate the nave from the aisles, each pillar on a tall base, and these support on very ornate capitals two elephants, each bearing a man and a woman. Seven pillars behind the altar are oc- tagonal in design minus the usual base and capital. Under the semi-dome of the apse is placed the dagoba, a plain dome on a two-storied circular drum. ST. PAUL’S WILL HEAR | VIRGINIA PROFESSOR Two Holy Communion Services to Be Held Tomorrow at Rock Creek Parish. Rev.

The Interdenominational Standard | SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1931 Sunday School Lesson Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. JESUS TEMPTED. Luke, i11.21; 1v.30. Golden text: “In that He Him- self hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted.”—Hebrews, 11.18. History's decisive battle was fought in the wilderness of Judea. Our lesson calls for us to consider that contest and to behold, sympathize with and get instruction and comfort from our Savior's temptation. Immediately fol- lowing His baptism, our Master, under the urge of the Holy Spirit, went into the neighboring wilderness, that He might determine upon the mission that had keen assigned to Him when the Father acknowledged Him to be His Son and’ He was endued with the Power of the Holy Spirit. His retirement enabled Jesus by pray- | er and meditation upon God's word to better understand His mission and mes- sage. Following the example of Moses and Elijah, He fasted for forty days and nights.” During this period He con- centrated his whole thought upon solv- ing the problems presented to Him by His experience at the Jordan. He had to settle how He was to use the power God had entrusted to Him. The subtle suggestions of Satan were each made in an endeavor to persuade Christ to use His divine power in a selfish way. Meaning of the Temptation. Our Lord's experience in the wilder- ness gave Satan all the advantage that He could possibly desire. According to Mark, the Master faced temptation throughout the whole period that He was trying to settle His course of action by prayer, fasting and meditation upon God’s word. The battle that was des- tined to determine the destinies of the world came at the conclusion of the forty days, when Satan deliberately tried to influence Jesus to do the will of the prince of the power of the air It was a titanic struggle that tempted the Lord Jesus. Two mighty personal- By ‘There was nothing evil in turning the stones into bread to satisfy His own hunger. He is doing that ves thing today. The stones are throug! erosion contributing the mineral strength that we find in the wheat, that the miller grinds up into the flour used by the baker to make our bread. But when Satan suggested that “if | thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread,” then he | was trying to make Christ doubt the | Father's word spoken at the Jordan. | ‘The Master was feeling the pangs of hunger, but Jesus realized that the deepest cravings of the soul demanded that He live a life in obedience to the Father's will. He was not called to live after the flesh, which would result in death, but to live after the spirit and mortify the needs of the ly. ;Tms he did by going imto the Bible and saying to the tempter, it is written that “men shall not live by bread | alone——" We are tempted to ignore | the spiritual, put firs' the material; |let us follow Christ's method. We are being tempted by the physical appeal when we commence to think that we | must make our living. Whenever we | put making a living ahead of making a | life, we are following Satan’s creed, for | by it he seeks to fill our hearts with the love of money, which is the root of all evil. Leaders in science today recognize, like Steinmetz, that the |greatest field for the future advance- ment is along spiritual lines. We can- not develop nobler personalities unless we refuse to allow the physical appeal to control our life. The appeal to one's appetite is strong, but we must conquer it, like the Master, by seeking first the Kingdom of God and the development | of spiritual force. The Mental Appeal. ‘The mental appeal was the founda- tion of the second temptation (as recorded by Luke, though third in Matthew). Satan, by using his own | art, made an impression upon the mind of Jesus of the kingdoms of the world. ities fought out the battle of human destiny at the very threshold of Christ's ministry. We should seek to learn from the victory of the Master how we, when we are tempted, can overcome. In that conflict Jesus fought to free man from the power of Satanic control. He sought by His ministry to re- establish human _righteousness. called for Him to win just where man had failed. He was limited with all the handicaps of humanity, so that He could be “tempted in all points, like we are” Satan had already pulied men down by temptations, so that they had sinned and were assured of reaping the wages of sin in death. Man was hope- lessly lost if the Lord failed. It was therefore at the point of His being the divine Son that Satan challenged the power and authority of Jesus. He tried to raise doubts in Christ's mind, so that He would apostatize from God and accept Satan's mastery. Whenever we doubt God and His word we are but a step away from sin. Without faith in Christ Jesus as our Lord, and confidence in His leadership we will make a wreck of our lives when we are tempted. We can not escape being tried and tested by Satan. It is no sin to be tempted Sin results from our allowing the devil to influence us s0 that we obey him rather than God Physical Appeal. Satan made his physical appeal a{ the psychological moment. The tempter saw that Jesus was commencing to hunger. Stones shaped in appearance like the bread of the land were scat- tered all around. A hungry man would naturally wish that the stones were bread. It was a subtle suggestion that Satan put to the Master. The Devil knew that Jesus was the Son of God Having pictured the riches and re- | sources of all nattons in a mental mov- |ing picture, Satan suggested that the | Lord could” obtain all these countries |by a shorter and easier way than that |of self-denial and sacrifice/ It called |for a compromise, for the Devil sug- gested that Jesus could build up a ma- terial kingdom by becomng an ally of Satin and worshiping him. Again Christ conquered the Devil by using the Scriptures. It is written that “thou shalt worship the Lord thy God | and Him only shalt thou serve” were | the words Jesus used when He refused | to be moved by the appeal to ambition. Moore well says that “Jesus saw that if | | He yielded, the world’s Savior would | be only a demon, hence in utter abhor- | rence of Satan and his vile suggestions, | Jesus gave him another thrust with | | the blade of truth, presenting God as | the one object of worship and of | service.” The Spiritual Appeal. In making his spiritual appeal Satan used the Scriptures when he urged | upon the Master that He adopt a spectacular method in the introduction of His kingdom. Again the Bible fur- | nished Christ a reply, “It is written | thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy | God.” The Lord won the battle of the wilderness. Satan was defeated. While | it was only for a season, Jesus had | settled the program that He would | adopt. He knew His mission and had | | His message. Calvary was won in the | | wilderness just as Wellington claimed | | that he won Waterloo at Eton. In every-day life we are tempted, but | | Christ has shown us how to master all |our temptations.
