ROMAN ROMAN, LAWYER m JERUSALEM FIRST
BtacE'eood. Paper. Boatou: Lor1ng.
This little poem by the scuptor-poet attracts
attention from the ingenuity Of Its argument
aud from tho beauty Of It's dlction. Marcus. a
Roman lawyer abiding in Jerusalem, writes
home to friend the goasip Of the city. It is
Just after tho Crucinxion and all conversation
is busy with tia facts Of tho life and the death
Of Jesus. Tho mind Of A1arcus is stirred with
the rest, aud irresiatibly moved by tho mystery
and significance Of the circumstances. His
frionl Lycias rolatas to him the case Of Judas.
'and, with subtle and plausible raasonings,
makes out That he WAS tho most faithful and 10y
ing OF tho Disciples; that lie 30 believed in
Christ a. the Son Of God that he went through
the act Of delivering tho accused to the jews
in order tint tho glory Of the GodLead might bo
manifest ~ to al the world in tho victory which
Christ should win through the defeat OF His
bloodthirstY enemies. Tic shock Of the Hur-
prise, tho disappointment, and the agony on
seeing jesus patiently subnit to capture, broke
the heart Of Judas, md, throwing down tla
pa}try pieces Of ayor which in no event would
hnve paid him for betraying his Master, lie wont
out and hanged himself.
Almost tho cunning story tompts US to pity
Judas and reyerse the Judgment OF Christondonl
This is our tribute to tho skill OF tho poet. Bnt
1t cannot 60 quite go fnr a. to restore Judas to
tue estate OF tho angels. There remains one
