Before the First
Easter Day

~N Palm Sunday each year the
"a minds Of millions of Chris
tians the world over are occu-
pied with thoughts of scene
in Jerusalem.
On the eastern spur of the Mount OF
Olives lies the little town of Bethany,
a few furlongs away from Jerusalem.
On the memorable morning OF his en-
trance into the city Jesus secured near
Bethany the donkey upon which he
made his memorable journey to Jeru-
salem. The occasion was the feast of
the Passover, and pilgrims from Call
lee and eastern Judea, the localities in
which his ministry had been perform
ed. accompanied him upon the journey.
AS they beheld him riding on an ass
(the royal beast in the days Of David
the hopes of the multitude were sud
denly revived. Quickly the news of
his coming spread through the long
lines of pilgrims. Those ahead tore
palm branches from the trees by the
wayside, while others spread their gar
ments and cloaks along the way on
which he was to pass, while they all
joined in triumphant song:
Hosanna to the son of David!
Blessed is he who cometh in the name of
the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
Slowly the procession came around
the southern end of the Mount of
Olives, with the gorge Of the Kedron
to the south, until the wonderful city
of Jerusalem burst into view. Then,
descending into the valley, Jesus en-
tered the city through this gate in the
midst of a cheering multitude of peo-
pie, who waved their palm branches
before him. Just as the sun was set
ting behind the hills he found his way
to the temple. He sought not wait
ing throne, but quiet place for Wor-
ship. Then in the hush of the even
ing, refusing to give any encourage
ment to the selfish material hopes Of
the populace, he quietly returned to
his humble home in Bethany.
The gate, as we see it today, is en-
tirely sealed Many hundred years
after Christ nad passed through it the
city fell into the hands of the Turks,
and it was their belief and fear that
our Lord Jesus was about to return
and re-enter the city through this
gate 1t was not their will that he do
this, and they believed that by sealing
it up in this manner his coming would
be prevented, and so it remains to this
day. the Sealed Golden gate, the most
remarkable and interesting Biblical
| landmark in the world.

CASTERS MESSAGE.
1t Teaches Us to Rise Anew From Our
SeIfishness and Sin.

II Teaches Us to Rise Anew From Our
SeIfishness and Sin.
This, to my mind, is the message of
the Eastertide:
We may interpret the resurrection in
dozen different ways; we may be-
lieve or not believe that this miracle
took place as reported in the gospels.
But that Jesus was never slain by the
soldiers of Pontius PLATE, but lived
to rally his disciples after the agony
and terror of GOlgotha, to capture Paul
and lead him over stormy seas and
desert wastes for the preaching of his
word, to call 1.-The glorious company of
the apostles, the goodly fellowship of
the prophets, the noble army of the
martyrs" in all ages and places into
the service of his kingdom; to speak
to us today as he has spoken of old
time unto the fathers" and to "chal-
lenge us to live and die for him and
his great cause Of righteousness" all
this is as certain as that his body was
nailed to the cross of Calvary. After
the crucifiXion, as before, Jesus was
alive He has been alive in every age,
even the darkest, that has succeeded
upon the hour of this mortal agony,
and he is alive today more truly and
wonderfully than he has ever been be-
fore in human history. OF this we can
be sure!
But what about ourselves? Are we
also alive-alive as the eleven were
alive when they reassembled in Jeru-
salem and gave themselves anew to
the kingdom Of God on earth? Have
we arisen from our selfishness, cow
ardice and sin to meet the risen Christ
and pledge our hearts to his, or are we
dead, as dead as Judas when the first
Easter dawned upon the world? This
is the question which this latest Easter
puts to us. 1t is not so much the res
direction of Jesus as Of ourselves
which need concern us.-Rev. John
Haynes Holmes, New York City.
