mergau makes clear the connection
between this scene and the cruci-
fixion. One of the episodes of the
Passion Play is the cleansing of the
Temple Shortly afterward we find
the same merchants, who have been
driven from their stands in the Tenn
pie enclosure by the stern and regal
Christ, foremost in the clamor of
those why cry, Cruelty Him! Cru
city Him"
The cleansing Of the Temple area
reacted directly upon the condemna-
tion and crucifxion of Jesus and had
'interfered with business; over
against that crime of crimes, the fact
that Jesus was obeying God, purify
ing the church and exercising the
highest office of a prophet, counted
as nothing.
This is a good time to declare once
more that Judgment must begin at
the House of God" The church
must be clean. Whenever she has any
completely with oppression of crime,
she Is denying her Lord. If any To-
cal congregation, or any denor ina
ton, puts the favor of the rich and
the mighty over against her loyalty
to clear truth and righteousness. she
is betraying once again the former
who died on Calvary.

did the great things, was not above
doing the small things also. If a
Christian cannot be a missionary to
China, at least he can help to a
higher level the shiftless, ignorant
and irreligious folk around the cor
ner. The work is one work, whether
in America or in Africa.
Great evils do not spring full-pro-
portioned into being. They are of
slow growth, and, at the base of all
OF them, there Is usually SO .ething
eommendable. The abuse of the
privilege of trading in the Temple at
Jerusalem had quite naturally devel-
oped. The need for sacrifices made
should be carried on for the benefit
of the pilgrims near the Temple
courts; even as to-day, in the very
courtyard of the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher in Jerusalem. pilgrims may
buy trfnkets. In heather temples
this 81 not at all uncommon. I have
bought Mecca beads in the court
yard at the Mosque of st. Sophia in
Constantinople, and Chinese antiqui-
ties in a Peking temple. The closest
parallel to the Jerusalem scene,
known to me is the merchandising in
the great Tenoji temple in Osaka,
Japan, where scores of merchants
display variety of wares.
on tie basis of the pilgrims needs
for foreign money changed into Jeru-
salem currency, and for doves and
sheep for sacrifice, there had grown
up the reign of graft which domi-
mated the Temple area.
When Jesus. the reformer, came,
with His clear-seeing eye, and His
fearless advocacy of purity and altru-
ism, He overturned this order of
greed. BY the sheer weight of His
personality, and by His own con-
sciousness of His divine mission,
Jesus scattered the merchandisers in
every direction. Right and religion

the Bibles own picture of all such.
The Lives That Produce


The central idea of both parts of
to-day's lesson passage accords well
with the temperance theme; for the
International Sunday School Lesson
Committee has marked this as a tenn
perance lesson. The first incident
carries the moral, that lives should
bear fruit; each in it's own kind, and
all the fruit of which 1t is capable.
Few of us have to go outside of our
own neighborhoods to find an illus
tration for this proposition. Many a
promising fig tree has been shorn of
its expected fruit by the blasting
power of strong drink.
The editor of the most widely cir
culated periodical in the world, told
me, few weeks ago, that he was
convinced that in his business a man
could not so much as drink a single
cocktail with his luncheon, without
impairing his efficiency. With real
fervor he went on to argue for tenn
perance on the basis of economic ef-
ficiency. He is making the temper
ance fight his own; for the arch
enemy of the fruit of civilization is
the traffic in alcohol.
The whitening judgment of an en-
lightened social conscience has been
turned against strong drink within
our own time. The forms of activity
against it are many and varied. Here
Is " WoThllS temperance pleuBe,
which the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon
League has put out: "As a matter
of conscience, l purpose to stand by
all men, movements and newspapers
that stand against the liquor traffic"
When the Church Is Corrupted
The contrast seems sharp between
the blasting of a single fig tree and
the cleansing of the great temple of
Herod: yet both were in the days
work of Jesus and both were of a
piece with his one ministry. He who
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-07

were on His side, and when a brave
man identifies himself with these two
causes, nothing can withstand him.
OF course, the discounted Scribes
and priests did not tarry to say,
rs this man right? Have we really
become polluters of the Temple, the
sanctity of which should be our chief
concern?" Not so. Their first
thought was how they might "get
even" with this man, who was inter-
fering with their revenues. In lesser
degree, the same condition obtains in
every age, and 1t is to be confessed
the way in which the church has
dealt with her reformers and critics,
quite after this ancient Jerusalem
fashion. The man who shows the
church wherein she is wrong is her
best friend, and to be heard and
needed.
1t is altogether likely that abuses
have crept up in parts and phases of
the Christian church. With the prop
erty interests and salary solicitude
involved this is almost inevitable.
Most men begin to see red as soon as
their pocketbooks are touched. Presi-
dent Wilson has candidly pointed out
how this factor has entered into the
Mexican situation. Concern for the
welfare of the millions of oppressed,
ignorant and destitute people has been
overshadowed by the clamor of thou
sands whose dividends have been ef-
fected.
In like fashion, the recent sudden
outcry over hurting business" at
tanned a volume which the temper
ance crusade moral question-is
not able to match after decades of
education. In the light of our own
times, 1t is quite understandable that
these shrewd Jerusalem ecclesiastics
should howl and plot when Jesus
began to hurt business"

pears to deal with those who seem
to be more than they are: who are
not fulfilling their promises. On the
road to Jerusalem He saw fig tree
abundant with leaves, but with no
fruit. Now a characteristic of the
fig tree Is that ii commonly puts out
It's fruit before its leaves. Jesus was
deceived by the appearance of this
unseasonably forward tree, as He saw
1t by the roadside, but when He found
that it bore nothing but leaves, He
condemned 1t to fruitlessness forever.
The Sheep Dog That Pointed
If one is an ornamental tree and
nothing more, then, of course, leaves
are satisfactory output. If, how
ever, the world has a right to expect
fruit, then no amount of foliage can
be accepted as a substitute. In the
matter of human lives, ii is not how
you appear, but what you produce
that really tests your worthwhile
ness.
All the tailors and masseurs and
BARRIERS and manicurists and haber-
dashers and jewellers cannot offer any
acceptable substitute for doing a
man sized task in the service of the
world. The gilded youth of both
sexes who adorn our city highways,
anu WHO nave never uOne uSeIul
stroke of work in their lives, are
the objects of all mems scorn. Bar
rem fig trees and barren lives merit
nothing but condemnation.
Down in Virginia, on a plantation
where l have gone hunting, there is
an old sheep dog who will follow to
the field the man with a gun. He
will go through all the motions OF
fine bird dog; he points perfectly
but there are never any birds where
he points. He is a hypocrite dog, for
he consciously tries to appear to be
what he really is not. That is what
makes the hypocrite. This lesson is
