THE "LEVELIING" PROCESS

The time has come in this old
world for q great work Of '1evell-
ing" to begin. The inequalities.
Of the human world have de-.
veloped to such extremes that
they cannot go on much longer
without a change. The noun
tains of high society" and
"great wealth" tower so far:
above the valleys of poverty
that they are liable to become
top-heavy and collapse under
their own weight.
Wherever there is a high
mountain there must be foot
hills to support it, and if the
foothills are dug away too much
the mountain will fall. The val
leys of poverty have been exca-
waited and robbed Of material to
build higher the already dizzy
mountains of wealth until the
very foundations Of the noun
tains have been taken away.
The 'levelling" has already
started, and as it goes on it will
be seen that it works both ways.
Whatever tumbles from the top
will find Judgment at the bot
tom, and just as the top is low
cred the bottom will be raised.
You can't lower a mountain I'M
less you have some place to
dump the dirt as you remove it,
and the dumping ground will of
course get higher just in proper
ton as the mountain gets lower.
The tendency will be to meet at a
dead-level about half way up.
1t is not to be expected that
everything will be reduced to an
absolute dead-leveI. That would
be neither possible nor desir-
able. But under the New Order
that is coming the great ex-
trems will be eliminated, so that
there will be neither high
mountains of wealth nor deep
valleys of poverty.

Hosanna in the highest!"

All this was done that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying, Tell we the daughterl
of Zion, behold, thy King cometh un-
to thee, meek, and sitting upon an
ass, and a colt the foal of an ass
Matt. 21:4-5.
And so Jesus went on into
Jerusalem that way, riding in
the midst Of that great multi
tude of people that went along
proclaiming him as a literal
King of the Jews. Luke reports
the same incident and gives a
few more facts that Matthew
fails to mention. Let's read a
little of what Luke says about it.
After reporting the same facts
that Matthew reports-about
the donkey, and the garments
spread in the road, and the
shouts and hosannas of the peo-
pie as they ran ahead announc-
ing the arrival of their King,
Luke goes on and says:
And some of the Pharisees from
| among the multitude said unto him,
Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he
answered and said unto them, I tell
you that if these should hold their
peace, the stones would Immediately
cry out.-Luke 19:39-40.
You see he refused to rebuke
the people, as the Pharisees de-
manded. It was just as if he
had said to the Pharisees: Il
will not rebuke these people, be-
cause they are not doing any
thing to deserve rebuke. They
are only hailing me as the King
of the Jews, and that is what I
really am" Now listen to me:
You know good and we'll that if
Jesus had not felt himself to be
the very sort of literal King that
those people were proclaiming
him to be, he would have stop
ped that demonstration and ex-
planned to them that they were
mistaken about what sort of a
king he was. Not to have done
SO would have been to take part
in q fraud and receive honors
under false pretense. And we
all know Jesus wouldn't have
done a thing like that. So he
didn't rebuke the people. And
more than that, he told the cri
tics that if those people should
: hold their peace, the very stones
| would Immediately cry out
What did he mean by that
: Surely he meant to convey The
idea that his triumphal entry in
TO Jerusalem as King of thu
: Jews was a true fact and mus.
: be announced, and that Coz
! would work a miracle and max,
the stones tell it if there wa
t no other chance.
| And when he was come near, he be
held the city, and wept v it, say
ing, If thou hadst known, even thou
at least in this thy day, the thing
. which belong unto thy peace! BU
6 now they are hid from thine eye
: EFor the days shall come upon the,
that thine enemies shall cast a trenc
i about thee, and compass thee roun,
) and keep thee in on every side, ar
shall lay thee even with the groun,
and thy children within thee. An
they shall not leave in thee one stor

But he knew all the time that
she was going to be blind and re-
ject her King, and he told her
about the trouble that must
come on her as a punishment.
Jesus did not come and offer
himself to the Jewish nation
merely as a spiritual Savior and
Redeemer. He offered himself
as a literal earthly King, and it
was as a literal earthly King
that the Jews rejected him. We
can see from the demonstration
that attended his entry into
Jerusalem on the donkey that
many Of the Jews were willing to
have him for their King. No
doubt that multitude was made
up Of the common people, the
poor working people around
Jerusalem. They liked Jesus, be.
cause he was meek and humble,
and they just felt that their in
terests would be safe in the
hands of a man like that. But
| think it was the city and state
officials and the high dignitar-
les Of the Jewish religion that
raised the rucus. If you will no
tice, it is always the gang that
is in power that gets it's back up
at the idea of any new power
coming in. And so the Big Ikes
around Jerusalem had their way
about it, as the Big Ikes usually
do, and they cried, "Away with
him! We will not have this
man to rule over us!"
If you don't believe Jesus had
some friends among those peo-
pie around there, you just turn
to the Goth chapter Of Luke and
read the 9Th verse, and then go
doWn and read the 10Th verse.
Yes, Jesus had friends there
among the Jews, and they were
SO numerous that the Big Ikes
were sorter afraid Of them, too.
They had to slip around and
send out their nasty spies
(which should feign themselves
just men" (verse 2O) just like
the same class of overbearing
Big Ikes do today, and they f.
nally managed to get Jesus in
!. the lookup and railfoaded him
through to his death.
And a superscription also was writ
ten vel him in letters of Greek, anc
; Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.-Luke 1888.
: They meant that for irony anc
I mockery of course, but it was
+ the literal truth. And I thinl
! that God. caused those wicked
q men to write that superscriptio1
: just as they did SO that it would
stand as a witness against then
forever.

THE KING OF THE JEWS.

that Jesus at the time of his
birth was just an earthly King
the King of the Jews. Read
Matthew 2:1-2. It does not say
that he was born to BECOME
King of the Jews, but he was
BORN King Of the Jews. The
royal office was upon him at his
birth. And it was to the Jews
exclusively that he came, and
not to the whole world. We
have his own word for it, where
he says, 81 am not sent but to
the lost sheep of the House Of
Israel" When he first sent out
his disciples to preach he sent
them only to the Jews and
warned them not to go any
where else.
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, saying, Go not into
the way of the Gentiles, and into any
city of the Samaritans enter We not.
But go rather to the lost sheep of the
House of Israel.-Matt. 1856. !"
And once when a women of
another nationality came to
plead with him for some favor
he told her that it wasn't proper
to take the children's bread and
give it to the dogs. He referr-
ed to the Jews as children and to
the Gentiles as dogs. All these
things go to show that in the
outset his mission was TO THE
JEWS ONLY. And his only pur-
pose in coming to THEM was
that he might become their liter
al earthly King and rule over
them and bless them with his
righteous government. And
the only reason that he did not
establish his earthly kingdom
THEN was that his people re
jected him. "He came unto his
own, and his own received him
not"
Of course it was f%oreknown in
- the all-Wise ~counsels of God that
the Jews WOULD reject their
King when he came, and proba-
bly, Jesus himself knew it all the
time, but it wasn't any fault of
his. He had come and offered
his services, and that was all he
could do at that time. When
they blindly rejected and cruel
fed him, Of course that ended
all thought of establishing his
earthly kingdom AT THAT
TIME, but it didn't do away
with the fact that Gods plans
never finally fail, and it is GER
tain that the kingdom then post
poned WILL be established
SOME TIME. It will be a great
and powerful government and il
will dominate the whole earth
and bless all people.
You remember there was one
time that Jesus did come mighty
near being publicly acclaimed al
an earthly king, anyhow. It wa
just a few days before his cru
cifiXion. You will find the Incl
dent reported in the 21st chap
ter of Matthew. It goes on an,
tells how he sent two Of his dis
ciples to bring a donkey tina
was hitched at a certain place
and when they had brought tn
donkey they set Jesus upon it
back, and then spread their gal
ments in the road for him to rid
over, and a great multitude G
people went along, some befor
and some behind, all shoutin
and saying, "Hosanna to the so

have visited the following
schools: Lacombe, Abita Springs,
Sun, Audubon, Central, Covington,
Folsom, Maud, Oak Grove, Onward,
Ramsay, Peace Grove, Pearl River,
Progress, Pilgrim Rest, Robert, Sand
Hill, Slidell, Talisheek and VALID
helm. At some of these schools
have made two visits and most Of
them have spent an entire day. l
have given reading tests in all of
the schools mentioned above besides
helping the teachers wherever |
found it necessary. In my reports
to. you upon each school l visited, /
have given in detail the conditions
found In some you will notice, IN
der remarks, that l have found yerJ
good discipline and good methods
employed, while in others the dis
cipline has been poor, the room lack
ing in neat appearance, and the
teachers failing to be neatly dressed
l am pleased to report, however, tina:
in most cases the pupils appeared tC
be interested, and showed results OF
good teaching and rapid progress.
[ have taken time, in schools
where the primary teachers are in
experienced, to give lessons in dem
onstration in phOniC work for which
the teachers have seemed grateful.
I have noticed in many Of the pr
mary rooms the lack or absence OF
busy work, and | would recommend
that the primary rooms be supplied
with inexpensive busy work, neces-
asry to keep the little ones mind en-
Dloyed while the teacher is busy with
other grades. In same cases, small
cheap tables are needed, around
which the pupils may stand and spell
their words with cheap alphabet let
tiers, or use the mineral cards III
making their tables. You will motto:
that most of our teachers having
ONLY one grade in large schools art
provided with these devices, and
feel that the teachers in schools haV-
ing four or five grades need them
all the more.
In accordance with advice from
the State Rural School Supervisor
and with your instructions, I hays
been continuing the giving Of Mon
roe's Silent Reading Tests. ThesG
tests, as you know, will give us g
