Jesus staged the occasion that the
multitude might have opportunity
to recognize him as the Messiah.
Let us not deny the Man about to
die His hour of victory. He saw
what lay ahead of him and real
lied that in few days these throaty
"Hosannas" would be changed into
slavering shouts of Cruelty Him!
"Crucify Him!" Nevertheless, the
spontaneous tributes of recognition
and homage were sweet to His cars.
This moment of popular victory
was foregleam of the ovations that
the ages would accord him, until His
Kingdom comes In full reality.
Harry Kamp once set forth this
truth in a poem:
II saw the conquerors riding by,
With cruel lips and faces wan;
Musing on Kingdoms sacked and
burned,
There rode the Mongol, Genghis
Khan;
"And Alexander like a god,
Who sought to weld the world in
one;
And Ceasar with his laurel wreath;
And, leaping full of hell, the Hun;
"And leading like a star the van,
Needless of upstretched arm and
groan;
1nscrutable Napoleon went,
Dreaming of empire, and alone.
"Then they all perished from the
earth,
AS f1eeting shadows from a glass,
And, conquering down the CEN
turies,
Came Christ, the swordless, on
an asst"
What Went Into It.
Many elements created the tri-
umphal entry. First, was the Hero's
own willingness to accept and CO.
operate in it. The presence of
Passover crowds from all the worlds
Jewry was factor. Then there
were the mixed sentiments-cIri-
osity, devotion, expectation-of the
crowd on Olivet, which had gone
out to seek Jesus, and the greater
crowd that poured out of the city's
eastern gates to join with them.
Doubtless there were many in the
multitude who had themselves been
healed by Jesus. Others had eaten
of the miraculously multiplied bread.
Many had witnessed the miracles
and heard the words of wisdom of
this itinerant Teacher. All knew
the thrilling and sensational story
of the raising of Lazarus from the
dead. Some were patriots who had
long been looking for a deliverer
from Rome's yoke. Strangely mir
gled were the emotions of this as
sorted company; all intensified by
mass consciousness.
From the little village of Beth
phage, beyond Bethany, around the
curve of Olivet, and so out of sight
of Jerusalem, the procession began
That old road still exists, and I

have Travelled it many times. The
weary feet Of Christ knew it well,
for 1t was the way He often took
from Jerusalem to the shelter of
the home Of Mary and Martha and
Lazarus in Bethany, His haven Of
rest.
Now He was headed the other
way, toward Jerusalem. What emo
tions must have filled His breast as
He looked with royal eyes upon the
capital of His nation, the city He
passionately loved and over which
He wept!
Amidst the huzzas of the multi
tude, which proclaimed His King
ship, and which sounded sweet in
His ears, the foreseeing Messiah
must have heard those other cries of
exccration so soon to follow. The
mob thought He was on His way to
a throne. but He knew that throne
would be a cross. We are glad that
His burdened heart was upnfted for
a few hours by this demonstration;
the sweetest note in which, to His
ears, was that sounded by the
voices Of little children.
After Triumph, Strife.
Not like an Oriental potentate,
surrounded perpetually by pomp
and adulation, Jesus turned from
His triumph to the work He had
come to do. We find Him next
in the temple-His prestige might
lily enhanced-stirred with indigna-
ton over the commercial graft that
had crept into the holy precincts.
We know from contemporary rec
ordS that the son of Annas farmed
out these concessions, which had
become big business. Thus the &C
clesiasticai organization was linked
up with the vested interests, insur-
ing the Great Reformer a twofold
and allied opposition. These were
the forces, primarily, which nailed
Christ to the cross.
To this day, the courts of MOSQUES
and temples in the Orient are marts
OF trade. Milady has bought dozens
of necklaces and other trinkets
within the confines of Constanti-
nople mosques. In old Jerusalem's s
temple, there was a big business
done In the exchange of foreign
moneys, and in the sale of animals
for sacrifice; and, doubtless, also in
the merchandising of souvenirs. The
babble and shouting and business
rivalry were shocking affront to
the religious character of the place
When Jesus came, upsetting the
tables and driving the merchants
out, He was definitely disturbing the
accepted order.
Art often pictures the gentle-eyed
Jesus with hands outstretched in
entreaty. We have few portraits of
the blazing-eyed Reformer, welding
Justify the whip of cords, as He
sought to drive out commercialism
from religion, and to chastise profa-
nation of holy things. We want the
wooing Saviour today; but we also
need the cleansing Christ, daring all
opposition, for the sake of purity
and justice and reverence. The
church must get back the whip of
cords If it would be fully obedient
to the will Of the Master.
After He had driven out the
merchants from the temple, we find
Jesus healing, as Of yore, the lame
and the blind. His example reminds
us to adhere to the main purpose
Of our lives, and not to be side
tracked by even desirable tasks. The
Messiah had come to help, to heal
to teach, to proclaim the kingdom
Therein resided a royalty even
greater than the tumultuous Tri-
umphant Entry.

Views Of The Press

one-tenth of one per cent per year for the period mentioned indicates that births and deaths in Massa- chusetts during the period were al- most equal. Tn other words the population of Massachusetts is prac- tically static. This is an unusual and in some respects an alarming situation for Massachusetts at one time had a high birth rate.
 Birth control advocates may say that this means a higher quality population but We beg leave to put question mark beside that. What it does mean, considered statisti- cally, is that Massachusetts will gradually experience a rise in the average age of all its inhabitants The old people will be growing old CT, the children will be fewer to balance them.
 If the people of the Old Common wealth are beginning to find it "toc much trouble" or "to expensive" tc bring children into the world, or to rear and educate them then there is something wrong in Massa- chusetts, something seriously and basically wrong. Boasted advances in medical science, assuring longer life for some individuals will mol compensate for lack of children.
 For the children are not merely the future race. they are the joy of the present race. A world with
