PLATE Tried to Save Christ.

II. Jesus and Barabbas, w.. 2o-25.
Matthew adds to that awful cry, when
plate has washed his hands in token
of i~nnocency, His blood be upon u.s.
Matt. 27:25). The other writer's
give us some suggestions as to who
Barabbas was, and makes this choice
more appalling by way of contrast.
Looking back it seems like a strange
choice, yet the same fatal mistake is
being made today. Young and old,
cultured and ignorant, are refusing the
Prince Of Life" (Acts 3:15), and
choosing him who twas a murderer
from the beginning" John S:44.
Thus these men were deceived, and
the natural man showed its enmity
against God, Jer. 1873; Rom. ST.. Pr
late is not yet convinced but that he
can placate the mob and save Jesus,
and puts a pertinent question to
them, What evil hath he done?" In
stead of calmly answering his query
they clamor the more loudly. Noise is
never argument. Still in this case
their voices prevailed" for PLATE de-
sired to content the multitude"
"vox populi, vox Der is by no means
a truism. 1t is easy to drum up a
mob who n day cry "Hosanna" and
the next cruelty him"
III. The Teaching. This lesson is
intended to center itself about PLATE.
In it we see the struggle between con-
science and personal ambition. Pr
late was impressed by the words of
Christ. He told the priests and the
multitude that he found no fault in
him. 1t appears that up to a certain
point he tried to save Christ, and GER
tain1y to the end he strove to avoid
the responsibility for his death. Sore
ly pressed he temporized and the
conversation recorded in John 1S:3373S
shows how profoundly interested he
was in this prisoner before him.
PLATE knew whom he was dealing
with as a politician, but did not know
this IMAM of Galilee." He chose rath-
er to be Caesars friend" than to per
form a righteous act according to the
dictates of his conscience. Pressed
by the clamor of those whom he de-
spised, he sacrificed his conscience
rather than incur their anger.
Tradition tells US that soon after
this he did lose his position and pow
er, was banished and ultimately died
a suicide.
The golden text focuses the personal
application of this entire lesson,
What shall / do unto Jesus, which is
| called Christi" AS this question fell
from the lips of PLATE it was an
appeal to those who had asked for
Barabbas. What then shall l do?' was
an acknowledgment of defeat, an
acquiescence to the will of the people,
and a desire to shift the responsible
fly for the shedding of innocent blood.
| This is the question of all questions
which men have to face. Men are still
| following the course of PLATE, either
they consent to his crucifixion or to
his browning.

IGNORED Partv,s PLEDGES

President Wilson entirely ignores
the fact that he and congress were
elected under a pledge to retrench on
the large expenditures of previous adj
ministrations, and that this pledge was
wholly ignored by his party in the
present congress. The one case in
which this rule OF lavish expenditure
was saliently broken was under the
leadership of a Republican senator
supported by votes OF Republicans and
Democrats. In ignoring that fact the
president indicated that his party feel
ing led him to ignore a prominent fact

pemocracx,s Dual Role.

The special session with its record
of tariff reform, including an income
tax measure, showed the Democrats
in the dual role Of reducing the rev.
enue receipts with one hand and
grasping at sources of new income
with another. They erred in their
estimates and were wrong in their
predictions AS a result they have
had to enact a special tax law to make
good the losses to the treasury of
ninety millions of dollars, with the
prospect of enacting fresh measures
of the kind ad infinitum.

Trial a Mockery.

The trial before Annas and Caiaphas
was a hollow mockery. The Sanhedrin
was fierce in its denunciation and to
add disgrace and to impress plate
that Jesus was dangerous, they led
him into his presence. Plate soon
saw the emptiness of their charges,
and as we have suggested, dismissed
all save that Of ~"perverting the ma
ton" The Roman government keenly
watched for incipient rebellions. After
examination he declares, Il find no
fault in this man." He did not. how
ever, dare incur the hatred and vio-
lence of a Jerusalem mob, and so he
temporizes. The fiercest light of crit
icism declares Jesus to be impeccable,
yet men temporize. After the dis
graceful and degrading treatment
Jesus received before Herod, he again
stands before plate, and this time he
is again declared to be innocent of the
charges preferred against him. This
is the turning point of this worlds
greatest tragedy. PLATE should have

Coxey since that time has become
a man of wealth. He stops at the
best hotels in New York and Wash

he lectures occasionally and only a
few years ago he ran for governor
of Ohio. He still voices protests
against certain economic and indus
trial conditions and proposes soon to
lead another army to Washington in
support of legislation which he pro-
poses. He wants the government to
loan money to communities to hire
the unemployed for public improve

government buy all the public utlll-

the benefit of the people.

ARE ATTACKING THE LAW.
Auto Manufacturers Claim Income
Tax Is Unconstitutional.

Suits attacking the constitutional
ity of the income tax were filed in
the district supreme court at Wash
ington Wednesday by John F. and
Horace E. Dodge of Detroit, automo-
bile manufacturers. They contend
that the law unduly discriminates
against individuals and partnerships
in favor of corporations in the laying
Of surtaxes and in permitting cor
porations to withhold from taxation
such portions of income as may be
necessary for the needs and purposes
of their business. The latter privi-
lege is not allowed to individuals,
their bill says.
While the Dodge brothers appear
as the only plaintiffs in the suit filed
it was generally understood that
their case is a test suit in which all
the immense automobile industry at
Detroit is concerned.
