The Triumph of the Palms.

The Triumph of the Palms.
What happy day that will be when
Christ grects his loved ones in heaven
ly lands and gives to them their victo-
rious palms-the palms of reward for
all their past suffcrings and trials and
sacrifices which were undergone for
him! When Agrippa, the grandson Of
Herod the Great, expressed a wish
that Caligula might some day sit upon
the Roman throne, Emperor Tibcrius
was angered. He threw Agrippa into
a loathsome dungeon. There he Ian
guished week after week and month
after month, but when the passing
time did place Caligula upon the throne
then the new emperor went in person
and opened the prisoners gates. He
robed Agrippa in royal purple; he gave
him q palace ip which to live; he took
the heavy chains which had once man.
acled the prisoners feet and weighed
them, and for every heavy link of iron
he gave to him a heavy link of gold.
Our Divine Master on that happy day
of the rewardings in heaven will give
to each one of his suffering children
greater compensation than ever En-
peror Caligula gave to the ragged pris-
oner Agrippa Jesus will clothe us in
white, not only the symbol OF victory,
but Of purity. He will make the jew
els Of our crown out of the crystallzed
tears we have shed in his service, and
in each one of our hands Christ will
place palm--the palm Of victory, the
cr lnr ri
tian brother. do not worry because you
have to suffer for Jesus. 1t means a
palma waving. triumphant palm.
The palm is such suggestive symbol
Of victory that today | would that we
might have had this pulpit decora tea
with palm branches as an object lesson.
Then. after tho service is over, | would
have you. members of this congrega-
ton, each take a palm leaf home, as
the priests allow the worshipers to do
this day in Catholic churches. Then,
after you had gone to the Quietude of
your own homes, | would have had you
look long and earnestly at that palm
leaf and decide what you are to do.
Would you accept the palm leaf as the
Grecan athlete received it. merely as
a symbol of worldly victory. or would
you accept it as a symbol of a heaven
ly triumph? Accept it in the same
spirit that the Christian martyr who
was about to be torn to pieces in the
Roman Coliseum accepted it. But, as
we have not palm leaf here for you
to take home as an object lesson, ! ask
you here and now TO decide the Ques-
ton of your life. How will you deal
with your worldly conquests? Have
your efforts won for you the palm of
wealth? Have they won for you the
palm Of political power or popularity :?
Then. can you cast them down at
Christ's feet and pledge yourselves and
all you are and have to his service?
II you can do this. you shall become q

on earth and which will some day be
