PURPOSE Of PALM
SUNDAY SHOWN
Rev. 7. J. Parsons Says 1t
Commentaries ChriSt'S En-
try Into Jerusalem.

Palm Sunday was observed at
Quincy Street Baptist church sun
day morning, when 7. J. Parsons
preached on the theme King BY
Divine Right" and the church choir
rendered a number Of songs and
anthems appropriate TO the occasion.
Rev. Parsons explained Palm sun
day as commemorative OF the enter
ing Of Christ into Jerusalem the Mon
day before His crucifMon. In speak
ing on this purpose Rev. Parsons
in part said:
Very few people really know the
true meaning of Palm Sunday. If
the questions were asked the thou
sands who throng the churches Of
all denominations today, we would
undoubtedly receive a variety Of
answers and most Of them would
entirely miss the thought that was
In the minds Of the original paTtici-
pants.
Not TriumphaI Entry.
I'VE are apt TO call the incident
we celebrate today Christ's tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem. but
If we carefully read the accounts
given in the four gospels, we shall
see that it was anything but a tri-
umphal entry which our Lord made
into the Holy City While the peo-
pie shouted their hosannas Jesus
wept and pronounced a judgment
upon the city which has been literal
ly and terribly fulfilled: while He
offered Himself 10 them officially as
their king. they just as officially re-
jected Him; and few days later
their hallelujahs were changed into
Cruelty Him All this was wonder
fully significant and far-reaching.
This was the day when Jesus.
King by divine right. ascended to
the royal city OF Israel. in tradi-
tional kingly fashion. Why did
Jesus offer Himself TO the Jewish
nation as their King? Because Je-
hovah had made a kingdom cove
nant with David. king OF Israel. II

Of the second book of Samuel. and is
referred to in many Psalms and in

spoke Of Him as the son Of David
and king of Israel; and PLATE wrote
over the cross, This is the king of
the Jews All four gospels refer TO
the striking prophecy in Zechariah
9:9-11. Rejection OF the king did
not annul the kingdom, but post
poned it. The last question asked by
the apostles before the Lords as
cension was. Wilt Thou at this time
restore the kingdom to Israeli To-
day the WOrl dis waiting for the
King. whose coming is described in
Matthew %: and that kingdom will
not be a democracy. nor a monarchy.

SAYS COD 8 LOVE
ALL INCLUSIVE

The Gift Of Gods Love" was the
subject OF the sermon delivered by
Rev. II. b. Hostetter. pastor Of West
minister Presbyterian church sun
day morning. in which he spoke Of
the passage in the Epistle Paul when
Paul prayed that his converts might
be able 10 comprehend the breadth
and length and heighth and depth
Of the love of Christ. the love that
passeth knowledge. and thereby be
filled with the fulness of God
There is in this passage a chal-
lenge and contradiction. He calls
upon us TO measure the immeasur-
able and comprehend the incompre-
hensible. but in the very effort to
do this comes blessedness and Christ
like character.
Love All-InclusiVe.
How broad is the love OF God2
II is all-inclusive. The ignorant. de-
based savage in the heart of the
blotched human wreck i'm yonder red
light district has a warm place in
our Heavenly Fathers heart. He
so loved the world that He gaze His
Son He commands US 10 carry the
good news 10 every creature And
once His grace has taken fun pos
session OF YOU and me it makes us
love everybody.
How different might be the CONT
nent Of Europe AT this hour had the
principals OF the gospel been heed
ed. But for years they have been
taught 20 despise other nationalities
and make every possible preparation
TO shoot them down and destroy
them May our own country be
safeguarded against such pagan
ideals. Bloody. armor-clad Mars is
not the god OF America. but white
robed immortal love ,the Prince of
Peace.
What is the length Of Gods love?
Length has 10 do with beginning and
end. The lamb OF God was slain
from the foundation of the world.
and neither death nor life can ever
separate us from His tender regard.
Saves All Who Call
There is no depth 10 which 1t
will not go. this great love OF God.
He saves 10 the uttermost all who
call upon Him. Greater love hath
no mere man than this. that a man
lay down his life for mis- friends.
But God commendeth His love 10 US
in that while we were enemies Of
Christ lie died for Us.

The story Of Jesus when he en-
tered the city OF Jerusalem and the
manner i'm which lie was treated by
the muluudes of people who were

He told the story az found iu the

Jesus had spent much of His
time in Bethany 10 was the home

home lie had on earth was located
there. and in that lie was but a

THREE ENTRIES
INTO JERUSALEM
Rev. F. K. DOUgherty De.
SCribeS Those Recorded
in History.

The three trlumphal eatries into
the city OF Jerusalem that are re-
corded in history were commented
on Sunday morning by Rev. Frank
K DOugherty, pastor OF Grace NJ.
K. church. in his sermon on the
subject, The Universal King"
History records three triumphal
entries into the city OF Jerusalem by
the people OF God. The first time
that the name Zion appears in his
tory Is when Jacob. the mighty war
rfor OF the hosts Of David, scales
the heights Of Jebus and wins the
prize David had offered 10 any man
who would perform such a feat. The
reward David offered for such an
achievement was the chief captaincy
OF the army. and Jacob, through
mere muscular ability, climbed and
conquered. This first entry has been
referred to as The triumphal entry
OF physical supremacy.
Religious Triumph
The second tr4umphaI entry OF
the city was called religious tri-
umpR. David proposes to bring the
Philestlnes, who were anxious To
get rid OF 1t. up TO Jerusalem. Upon
"a second attempt, attended by large
crowds OF singers, accompanied on
rssHeries. syn1bals. tinsbrel and
trumpeta. David ascended the
heights Of Zion with the ark Of God.
1t has been thought by some
that the singers in the procession
as they approached the gates chant
ed the oath psalm, Light up your
heads. OF ye gates. and the King Of
Glory shall come in, and from with
in came the response. Who is this
King Of Glory?' Then the approach
ing chorus replied. Lift up your
heads. oh ye gates even lift them up
We everlasting doors, and the King
OF Glory shall come in. Then again
the question came, Who is this King
OF Glory?' and the answer comes,
The Lord OF Hosts, He IS the King
OF Glory. The gates opened wide
and the Eternal King by way OF
n symbol enters the city.
but the third entrance into JerI-
salem is more significant than the
the spiritual entry. There was in
deed great excitement and confu-
sion when Jesus appeared in sight
OF the city. There was huTTying to
and fro. there were wild cries and
passionate questions. The people
nod upon one another in the crowd.
Some waved palms OF victory in the
air. Some cut down olive branches
Of peace and strewed them in the
way. Multitudes threw of their
garments and carpeted the path Tor
the beast that Jesus rode 10 treao
upon.
The entrance of Jesus into Jeru-
salem has only the appearance OF
triumph-for the people we're soon
crying. Away with Him cruelty
Him. But this appearance of tri-
umph is prophetic. Jews were there
from far and near for the pass
over"

SAYS NOT ENOUGH
MEN IN CHURCH

There are approximately 100 mil
lion people in the United States. Of
whom but 80 million are members
OF churches. and but AZ per cent OF
this number are men and boys, which
is far too small a percent" said Rev.
George William Allison. pastor Of
Hope Presbyterian church, Sunday
morning ia his sermon on The
Note Of Virility in Christianity"
Continuing Rev. Allison said:
when this is computed we have
left about 13.S6O,OOO men and boys
whose names are carried upon the
rolls Of some church, Catholic or
Protestant. But many Of even this
mum Der are merely nominal Chris
tians. Thus we have our number Of
active virile agents for the spread
and transmission Of Christianity re-
duced to a very modest figure. And
the virile note is below par when
compared with the feminine.
Methods at Fault.
This cannot be without reason.
IS it not possible that IL is caused
both by the actual program of the
lndTch and her methods, as well as
by the allurement Of the so-called
world The church should he
shamed out of her former method Of
appeal 20 able bodied, vigorous, vir-
lie men. About all she formerly Of
fered was a safe hope in death in
compensation for the meek and
'sissified' endurance Of all sorts of
evils during life. Her method was
an effeminate appeal 10 emotion oor
sentiment, and attracted only the
weak and inane And meanwhile
the manly men with strong purposes
and vigorous manhood were repealed
and spent their strength in other
directions than under the direction
of Christianity.
The challenge then Of Christian
ity today is 10 every ordinary man
who believes in goodness. honesty.
truthfulness. justice, fraternity I'm
short. who believes in clean, strong
manhood. to unite with the sole in
stitUtion whose purpose it is to
transform the world into the king
dom Of God by changing the lives
Of individuals and by changing the
relationships Of society ny emphasis
upon the inner life"

HOLDS CHRIST A
KING AMONG MEN
Rev. J. L. Gardiner Shows
Jesus Leader in Word
and Conduct.

"The Kingship Of Christ was the
theme of the sermon preached yes
terday morning at the st. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal church by the
pastor. Rev James i. Gardiner, d.
d. The sermon was based on the
words of Paul written TO the church
at Corinth. we preach not our
selves but Jesus Christ as Lord.
Or. Gardiner said in part:
Paul of Tarsus was the greatest
preacher of the gospel of Jesus
Christ the world has ever known.
From the moment of his conversion
on the way TO Damascus. until he
suffered martyrdom in the city Of
Rome, Paul was ever true 10 the
gospel. He went everywhere telling
the glad news of the Christ
Christ
Now what was the theme OF this
great preacher? our text answers
the question. We preach Jesus
Christ as Lord Paul preached
Jesus the human one. the Man Of
Galilee lie preached a Jesus who
was born as a man. who suffered
and was put TO death. He preached
the story Of the Son OF God who
came in the flesh. He preached the
humanity OF Jesus.

ter the CITY and find a welcome in

Event stir, City.
Naturally such am event as this
stirred the city. Pilgrims to Jeru-
salem saw more than they had an
ticipated The multitude thronged
through the gates. while the people
i'm the city began TO inquire. Who
il this 80 Jesus was received into
Jerusalem with q question Jeru-
salem. the city of His father. David;
Jerusalem. the. city Of His Heavenly
Father temple. Jerusalem. the city
that should have been on tip toe
OF expectation for the Messiah, Well.
this Is characteristic OF the kind OF
welcome Jesus has been receiving
ever since. Nation after nation has
extended a welcome TO Jesus. but at
first IL was always the interrogatory
kind Rome did the same as Jeru-
salem. China in the latter days has
been saying who is this Japan
first opposed then questioned So
Jesus has entered the nations Of the
world welcomed with a question
mark. And this is the barrier the
human heart sets up against the
entrance OF Jesus 10 is frequently
harder 10 beat down a question mark
thau successfully assault the stone
wallis OF entrenChed opposition.
Question Answered.
Sull % was natural that tbs
strauEers should ask Who is this o.
And an answer is at hand. True il
IS less than might have been expect
ed only one answer could have
sufficiently met the question raised
To is. This is the Messiah. But their
answer did httngly describe Him.
IL told His name Jesus. which in
clcates that is 10 save His people
from their sins Ii told His origin.
Nazareth. -'re prophesy had fore
told that He was 10 be a Nazarene.
And IL indicated His business. "A

dictions OF the scriptures"

Preached Christ.

"But Paul did not stop there. He
preached Christ. He preached
Christ. the anointed one. He preach
ed a Christ who was equal with the
Father. This was the secret Of his
missionary zeal Why is it that so
many today are losing interest in the
cause of missions Ii is because
they are losing faith in Christ. the
divine one. The secret of mission
airy enthusiasm is 10 be found in
faith in a Christ who was more than
human. 1t is TO be found in Christ
who is divine.
Put that is not all Paul preach
Ell Jesus Christ as LORD To him
Jesus Christ was the exalted one
He was King. And Paul was right
Jesus Christ is Lord and King
Read the gospels and YOU Will
find that though He was born in a
manger vet He was born 10 be King
Wise men came and worshipped Him
as such. Then He lived a Kingly
life. In word md in conduct Jesus
christ was a King among men.
Prophecy Fuifncd.
This is Palm Sunday and we are
reminded today of the fac. that up
on the sunday before He was put 10
death. Jesus fulhued Old Testament
prophecy by riding into Jerusalem.
When the people saw Him coming
they spread the branches of palm
trees i'm His way and greeted HIM
as King. saying. Blessed is He who
cOmeth in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ a few days after
ward stood before Pila.e as a King.
When he was crucihed. the inscrip-
ton upon the cross read. Jesus Of
Nazareth King OF the Jews. He was
put 10 death on the third day He
rose as King.
You viii remember. too. that be-
fore He assembled into heaven He
called His disciples together and
spoke 10 them as King. saying. Go
ye into all the world and make dis
ciples OF all nations.
