The history of Herod, revealed in the
gospels, shows him to have been a man
of some religious conviction and feeling
He was evidently what the Jews called
orthodox in his belief. Thus he believed
In the resurrection rerse -. IT is said
that he heard John gladly; and from
Mark account 6:20I il is supposed that
he heard him frequently. But Herod was
a man. He might overlook the rebuke of
John. but there was a woman involved in
this condemnation. Herodias was a gen
uine woman. albeit an evil one. She was
ambitious, unscrupulouS intOlerant: I'M
questionably she was the evil genius of
Herod Antipas.
So outraged was she at the rebuke of
John that she would have taken his life
duke, SID. Herod's weakness was shown
in his conduct. He feared John. and he
feared the Jewish mob. He went as far
as possible. He put him in prison. Jose
cuse for this act his dread lest the multi
tudes gathered to hear John should be-
come discretionary and jeopardiZe the
peace of the state. The real reason is I'M
questionably given In the, gospels The
woman's hate triumphed., John was

In these times it is generally conceded
that woman who is so vile a 5 to trif1e

almost beyond recovery. This Herodias
did. The birthday feast was supper.
There are some deeds that may best be

feast would have been incomplete with

were inflamed with wine, Salome, the
daughter of Herodias, appeared.
1t Is an unfortunate fact that the word
dance in the Scripture is applied to cere-
monies that differ as widely as the poles.
In one instance il is a religious service.
in the other it is a bacchanalian revelry.

Herod especially would be pleased with
the dance. He had no moral scruples,
and the dancer was the daughter of the
woman whose beauty had driven him to
the performance of an unmanly and das
tardiy act. He was i'm a fit condition TO
indulge in the enthusiasm of fools. He
swore that he would give her anything
that she would ask, even to the half of
his kingdom. 1t was this for which Hero

OF the kingdom was impossible. And for
Herodias why should she ask for the
half when she already controlled the
whole? No, there was one thing that
she desired more than kingdoms, and
that was the head Of John the Baptist.
She would give lesson to all preachers
TO the end of time of the danger of in
terferins with the pleasure of kings and
queens.
Salome was instructed beforehand by
her mother. This was To be the reward of
her indecency. With this she would wipe
off the reproach cast upon her mother.
Without hesitation she said: Give me

Notice the demand. Herodias was unwiil-

was over. She knew his superstitious ma
ture and to what extent he was ruled by
fear. Give me here, was the demand.
Matthew tells that The king was

Henry VIII felt when he demanded of
Hugh Latimer an apology for language

Latimer in his apology tod the king that,
as the servant of God he must obey Him
who could cast both soul and body into
hell. Henry embraced the preacher at
the close and thanked God that he had

speak the truth. So may Herod have
felt that he owed it to himself he owed
it to his guests and he owed it to Herod-
las and Salome, that the promise should
be kept. The prison was beneath the
