A LAWFUL ROBBERY

Notice that it was beautiful and
lawful robbery of the palm tree that
helped make up Christ's triumph on tie
road to Jerusalem that Palm Sunday.
The long, broad, green leaves that were
strewn under the feet Of the colt, and in
the way of Christ were torn off from the
trees. What u pity, some one might
say, that those stately and graceful trees
should be despoiled. The sap oozcd ont
at the places where the branches broke.
The glory of the palm tree was appro-
priately sacrificed for the Saviour's tli-
umphal procession. SO it always was,
SO it always will be in this world--no
worthy triumph Of any sort without the
tearing down of something else. Brook
Ign bridge, the glory of our continent,
must have two architects Frustrated,
the Cne slam by his tolls ana Une oUner
for lifetime invalided. The greatest
pictures Of the world had, in their rich
est coloring, the blood of the artists who
made them. The mightiest oratorios
that ever rolled through the churches
had, i'll their pathos, the signs and groans
of the composers, who wore their lives
out in writing the harmony. American
independence was triumphant, but it
moved on over the lifeless forms of tens
of thousands of men who fell at Bunker
Hill and Yorktown and the battles be-
tween, which were the hemorrhages of
the nation. The kingdom of God ad-
vances in all the earth, but it must be
over the lives of missionaries who die of
malaria in the jungles or Christian
worlsrs who preach and pray and toll
and die in the service. The Saviour tri-
umphs in all directions-but beauty and
strength must be torn down from the
palm trees of Christian heroism andron-
To what better use could those palm
trees on the southern shoulder Of Mount
Olivet and clear down into the Valley of
Gethsemane put their branches than to
surrender them for the making of
Christ's journey toward Jerusalem the
more picturesque, the more memorable
and the more triumphant?. And to. what
DeTuer use could we put our lives than
into the sacrifice for Christ and his cause
