THE UNSPOTTABLE BANQUET.

Joy invariably Sparkled in every at
tempt of Christ to illustrate the life of
the Kingdom. Tears have their place.
but not as mark of piety. Twice the
record is given of Jesus weeping so
great was the impression made by the
events but His smile was so much a
part of Himself that it never got in
at all. The word is silent, not because
He never smiled, but because it was
habitual. Again the story turns about
the most joyous occasion that comes
to life, the wedding of the Kings son.
All the empire was aware of it and all
the prominent people were invited.
And such was the courtesy of their
Ruler that second notice was sent
on the day appointed, and fearing that
there might be some mistake, refusing
to believe ought but good of his sub
Jects, other servants were hurried
forth to escort them to the festal
board. Yet in the face of such good
will that desired enforced sharing in
the festivities Of their Lord there was
the tragedy of traitorous refusal.
What would be the effect if all the
people stayed away from Harding's
inaugural? The sense of something
sinister would pervade the entire
country. And this is a republic of
freemen. 1t is not strange that this
King of the Orient took it as open re-
bellion and swept them out of the
land. The feasting was delayed, but
it was unstopped. Again the servants
hurried out into the places where the
ways crossed and hailed all passers to
come and be the guests of the King
There was swift response and the
wedding went on. There is no power
able to stop Gods plan for His world.
The last picture of the Book is that of
the wedding supper of the Lamb. When
the boys crossed in that bridge of
boats across the danger-infested At
lantic, it was the slowest transport
that fixed the rate of travel not the
fastest. In Gods progress He cannot
outstrip mans pace for He refuses a
Kingdom built upon force. He could
drag man forward, but that would be
defeat and make the Kingdom a pris-
on. But while its coming may be de-
layed it can not be stopped. Hate
and all else may oppose but the rule Of
Love will yet cover the earth.

THE UNEsCAPABLE STORY.

Throngs were drifting into the
Temple area on that fateful Tuesday
morning and pressing about the OPP
posing groups of Christ and the richly
robed rulers. Many of them heard the
swift thrust and parry of words be-
tween the two in which the rulers were
driven into snarling silence. The res
onant voice vibrant with vigor cut
across the sound of shutting feet The
rulers paused and a sudden stiffness
settled over the crowd at the words,
LET me tell you a story" How Of
ten that had been the magician's wand
to open great caverns of thought filled
with lustre of verbal gems in the
memory of these very folk. Listen to
His story? OF course they would
Swiftly they were transported into
the homely atmosphere of the farm
and heard the converse of father and
sons, and voiced the truth that was in
escapable. Using that answer as a
lash He smote the rulers mercilessly.
Let Me tell you another story" halt
ed the feet. eager to go, yet reluctant
to miss what might be said. Again
they were in the country and the vine
yard Haunted its rich clusters waiting
the gathering. They saw the cruelty
and greed in the faces of the occupiers
as they drove off the requesters of
rent and saw the Son Himself smitten
unto death by the same lawless crew.
Anger flushed the faces of many, but
there was such evident partizanship
on the part of the enjoying crowd that
the rulers were perplexed as to what
to do. Before they could decide or es
cape another story was sitting every
movement of the throng, and again
they were smitten with the story
sword among the people with whom
they were for from popular because
their supercilious attitude toward
this people accursed" was too well
known not to have killed all love for
them among those who yet obeyed
their commands and suffered their ex-
actions. Derisive smiles and elbows
that emphatically nudged the bystan-
der marked the recognition of their
overthrow while the whisper went
about, Didn't He give it to them that
time" This open feeling easily reached
Jesus and the story ran it's way to its
unexpected end that left the throng
sheepishly grinning over their own
discontinue in the person of the
common comrade of theirs who gained
no rights by being common and more
than the rulers had by their position.
Out he went as swiftly as they. Fit
ness for the feast was required of all.
Jesus built His kingdom upon the ba-
sis of character alone so that His door
stood wide for every rank and condi-
ton and race

But our hearts are ever singing.

When we reach the journeys emo,
There our feet shall he unshack,eA
And cur souls erect and free.
Sight unto the dim eyes given,
That have striven so to see.
There upon tho hilltop standing.

Heaven and earth shall ring in an

With the gladness OF the soul.
On, the goal Is worth the strurrl,.
