Was with the Wild Beasts

By Editor

Was with the Wild Beasts.—On page 12, in our serial story, is an illustration from "Picturesque Palestine" of the very desert or wilderness where Jesus our Lord spent His forty days' fast and temptations. Mark says that He "was with the wild beasts." One man who was lost in that wilderness and was forced to spend there one night, emerged from its awful pandemonium almost a wreck. He shot a savage lion and a leopard; and the night was filled with the terrifying cries, hideous howls and snarls, and horrible screams of the beasts of prey. Here our Lord spent forty nights for us. "He was bruised for our iniquities."
