Why? Because if he had been nOmi-

The Triumpb Of the Palms


What happy day that will be when
! Christ greets his loved ones in heaven
" lands and gives to them their victo-
| riOus palms-the palms of reward for
all their past suiferings 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 Tiberius
was angered. He threw Agrippa into
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 Il palace in 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 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 crystallized I
tears we have shed in his service, and /
in each one of our hands Christ will .
place palm-the palm of victory. the
palm of never ending joy. Oh, Chris
tian brother, do not worry because YOU
have to suffer for Jesus. 1t means Il
palma waving. triumphant palm.
The palm is such a suggestive symbol
Of victory that today l would that we
might have had this pulpit decorated
with palm branches as an object lesson.
Then. after the service is over | would
have you, members of this cOngrega-
ton. each take Il palm leaf home. as
The priests allow the worshipers to do
his day in Catholic churches. Then,
lfter you had gone to the quietude of
'Our own homes. | would have had you
OOk long and earnestly at that palm
eaf and decide what you are to do.
Would you accept the palm leaf as the
irecian athlete received il. merely as
symbol of Il worldly victory. or would
Ou accept it as symbol of heaven

pirit that the Christian martyr who

on of your life. How will you deal

aim Of political power or popularity?

is to-day, and the thing to settle is what to do
and how to do it to-day.-WOman's Home Com
