take every thing in His own hands.
They pour out of the city gates until the
procession reaches to the village. They
come all around about the house where
the stranger is stopping, and peer into
the doors and windows, that they may
get one glimpse Of Him, or hear the
him OF His voice. The police dare not
make the arrest, because he has some-
how won the affections OF all the peo-
Pile. Oh, it is a lively night in yonder
Bethany! The heretofore .quseS village
is filled with uproar and outpry, and
loud discussion about the stranqe-acting

any sleep in that house that night
where the stranger was stopping. AL
though He came in weary He finds no
rest, though for once in His life time He
had pillow. But the morning dawns,
the olive gardens wave in the light, and
all along yonder road, reaching over the
top Of Olivet toward the city, there Is a
vast, swaying crowd Of wondering peo-
pie. The excitement around the door
of the cottage is wild as the stranger
steps out beside an unbroken colt that
had never been mounted, and after
His friends had strewn their gar

die the Saviour mounts 1t, and

feverish, push on back toward this city
OF Jerusalem. Let none jeer now nor
scoff at this rider, or the populace will
trample him under foot in an instant.

try to pull the rider of into their arms
and carry on their shoulders the illus
trious stranger. The populace are SO
excited that they hardly know what to
do with themselves, and some rush up
to the roadside trees and wrench of
branches and throw them In His way;
and others dof their garments, what
though they be new and costly, and
spread them for q carpet for the con-
queror to ride over, nHosanna!" cry
the people at the foot Of the hill.
