The Cleansing OF the Temple

jealous Of Jesus popularity on Palm
Sunday they were given added rea-
son to be incensed the next day
when he came into the temple and
saw how they had turned the court
Of the gentiles into a place of mer-
chandise, and showed his royal au-
tority by making a scourge of cords
and east out them that sold and
bought in the temple, and overthrow

Our Palms and Hozannas
No greater mistake can be made
in the teaching of this lesson than
to spend our time giving il 70 the
Jews which a been the favorite
indoor sport Of many Christians for
many centuries. Ne must apply the
lesson 20 ourselves individually and
TO the church of today. How many
churches have become houses Of

much more value are our "Hosannas''
and our professions Of loyalty 70
Christ our King? Our broken vows
and lapsed church memberships are
the withered palms that strew the
Kings highway in 1928. On day we
sing "Crown him with many crowns"
and another day our lives disclose
that some of our crowns are made
Of thorns.

LEVEES GUARD
LOWER RIVER
Cameron County River
System Nearing
Completion

Danger Of overflow from the Rio
Grande in the Ell Jardin section be-
low Brownsville has been practically
eliminated by the completion Of the
flood control levees which have been
"tied in" with the Fort Brown levees,
according to the report Of Archie
Ruff, county engineer in charge Of
the levee work.
The levees now extend from above
Brownsville to the site Of the old
Indiana pump where they connect
with the canal systems Of the lower
river plantations which are we'll above
highwater mark. In the eastern part
of FL Jardin the levees have been ex-
tended beyond the FL Jardin district
line to a point about 1900 feet within
the Esperson lands.
Work Is underway south and west
Of the city, a high levee having been
constructed across the mouth of the
estero formed when the river cut off
a banco near the Matamoros light
plant in 1925. Arrangements have
been made with the city of Browns
vile to drain the estero surrounding
the Canales-Trevino banco, dirt to be
secured from the estero to raise the
levee which u mi along the north
bank near the NJ. p. tracks. This
levee will be raised approximately
three feet, and will connect with the
high grade of the Missouri Pacific
Lines above the international bridge.
This plan will leave a large part of

city within the flood area, but the
major part Of this area is well pro-

BY DR.. L V E. BELL

Repeatedly through his public min
istry Jesus had put a damper on the
publicity that might have been his:
now, in this pageant of palms with
which he began the last week OF his
life, he seems deliberately TO set the
stage for a demonstration which
would give the widest possible pub
LEFTY to his claims to kingship. Pre-
vious to this when the people tried
TO take him by force and make him
their king, he hid himself from them,
but now re welcomes this demonstra-
tion which points TO his royalty.
The Pageant Prophesied
This entire pageant of palms which
we call Palm Sunday was foretold
five hundred years before by the
prophet Zechariah: Rejoice greatly,
o daughter of Zion: shout, o daugh-
ter Of Jerusalem: behold, they king
cometh unto thee: he is just and
having salvation: lowly, and riding
upon an ass, and upon & colt the
foal of an ass" Palm Sunday full
filled this ancient prophesy in every
detail; the humble colt instead of a
charging war-horse or chariot, the
hosannas Of. simple peasants who
bore neither sword nor spear, but
only palm branches, symbols Of
peace. Truly, this is a peculiar king
is the Prince of Peace.
Withered Palms
IL is interesting to try To imagine
how the King. who knew what was
in men, regarded these acclamations
Of the crowd. He must have known
that many Of that throng who were
singing "Hosannas" that day would
be shouting cruelty him" just five
days later with the mob that would
rush him away to Calvary's cross
Their loyalty withered as quickly as
the whitening palm branches with
which they strewed the road from
Jericho to Jerusalem. But the pa
geant Of palms, empty as IL was Of
abiding loyalty on the part Of many
who participated, nevertheless serv-
ed its purpose in the Kings program.
The Results Of the Pageant
It called the attention of the ma
tion to his claims to messiahship as
Israel's long expected successor 70
King David and gave a clear chal-
lenge to accept him as king or reject

PRESENT SEASON

Brownsville lawns are particularly
bright this time of year, some in the
interests Of the Identification con
test which is being held, others be-
cause their caretakers admire restful
surroundings, and some for both
reasons.
One lawn noticeably restful. not
listed in the contest, however, is that
of Mrs. Norman +. Kendall. Sr., at
1913 Adams street. Mrs. Kendall is
well informed on plants and shrubs
and their care so that she has been
successful in growing a noticeably
large variety Of garden flowers.
The yard extends from the section
in front Of the house along the side
to the back where scarlet popies
grow in profusion. Looking from the
street under the gnarled old figs
an array of roses can be seen in
GLIDING the loretta. n pink Spanish
rose which quite often grows to tree
like proportions.
Caracol, a vine with blue blossoms,
growing with corona covers the front
porch and grows up cut of a hedge
of poinsettia. Hibiscus, varieties OF
ferns, coral plants, zinnias, and
Shasta daisies all nave their places.
A snow white nine rose graces the
front yard while radiance. La France,
Star of France, American beauty
roses all add to the color scheme.
Zinnias, by the way which are
held in such little esteem as decor
alton in northern states, bloom all
summer long in the Valley and boast
richer colors than their northern
brothers. In large clumps they are
most effective and demand very little
care. As cut flowers they out last
most others.

When Misdirected

An instance of what great delays
may result from the giving of wrong
information was amply illustrated yes

who told the firemen that there was

turned out to be \ trash pile behind
the Lyric theatre some three blocks
from the Grand theatre.
The firemen turned out with all
equipment and stormed down @ avenue
to the Grand theatre. They searched
the district radiating out from the
corner of Twelfth and G avenue for a
fire and found none Presently an
other call came in that the fire was
at the Lyric and the entire depart
ment with three big heavy trucks had
to make the run to that place. The
fire was quickly put out with no dam
age but the firemen pointed out that
such an error when fire was burn
ing in some building might cost heav-
lily as it is in the first few minutes
that firemen can get in their most
effective work against property dam
