The Sects

THEN as now, not all the religion
L Of the people was confined to
the official priesthood and Officers
of the church" There were other
religious groups, unofficial sects,
and not all good. There were the
Sadducees, aristocratic and
wealthy, protesting a strictly this
world religion, not believing in any
life after death and rejecting most
of the Scriptures.
The Pharisees were the I'M
official religious leaders of
Israel, as the priests were the
official leaders. They were the
travelling preachers, the Bible
teachers, the D. DIS of that
time. Closely associated with
these were the Scribes, experts
in the study Of the laws OF
Moses.
They should have been good, but
what Jesus thought of them can
be seen in the bistering words OF
Matthew %.

Watching for the Dawn

1T WAS a discouraging world in
which to be born. Under the Ro-
man heel, with government in the
hands of foreigners, with religion
under the leadership of political
bosses, hypocrites, church lawyers
and fanatics, it was not a hopeful
time.
And yet there were some
really G0dIike souls. The
stories in Luke l and 2 bring
before us GOd-fearing people
old and young: priest who
had real faith in his heart,
old, old people who prayed for
nothing else so much as for
Gods kingdom, and simple
shepherds who welcomed the
message of God. And above
all, Mary the blessed among
women.

Military Government
IF WE 90 back in imagination and
L think what the world was like
before there was bit of the
Christian religion in it, we can bet
ter understand the story of Jesus
and of the nineteen Christian CEN
turtles. For the next six months we
shall be thinking, week by week, of
the life Of Jesus Christ. But first
let us think of the world in which
he lived.
Jesus homeland of Palestine
was run by military govern
ment. Roman soldiers were
everywhere, taking the best of
everything. Jews could scarce
ly forget, even for a day, that
they were 4 beaten people, any
more than a Japanese or Aus
trian can forget il these days.
Jesus grew up in the sort OF
atmosphere which military occu-
patton always tends to produce: TN
certainty, fear, hatred and desire
for revenge, tense with under
ground plots, rumors and con-
spiracies. The Romans found Pal
estine hardest Of all their pos
sessions to rule. When Jesus was a
boy there was a terrific uprising
near his home, and the Romans
cruicifed 1900 people in reprisals.
Established Church
WE MUST not think there was
W no religion before Jesus was
born. There was too much Of it
that is, Of the wrong sort. The
established church. OF Jesus land
was the Temple at Jerusalem, with
its complicated ritual, its countless
beasts roasting on the great altar,
its White-robed choirs chanting by
day and night.
The High Priest himself was
appointed by the Roman over
lords; chosen for his skill in
rabble-so01iling he held o:l;ce
or condition that ne could hold
the masses in check. However,
the Jerusalem temple was
very small part Of the actual
religious life OF the ordinary
citizen.
Even the most religious would
see the place only a few times
year. Jesus seldom referred to it,
and it was finally the leaders Of
the established church who hound
ed him to his death.

Britain Presses Arabs
| And Jews 10 Accept
Truce, Bevin Says
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. May 25.-Foreign Sec
retary Bevin said today that Britain
has been using her utmost influence
to insure that the United Nations
cease-fire order is accepted by Jews
and Arabs in Palestine. @
Mr.. Bevin spoke in the House Of
Commons.
His statement was offered only .
few hours after he and American
Ambassador Lewis Douglas met for
the third time in four days in an
effort to reach an Anglo-American
agreement on a method for produc.
ing peace in Palestine.
Avoids Full Statement.
Mr.. Bevin, responding to request
by Conservative Leader Winston
Churchill for q statement on Pales.
tine, said he would be glad to make
a full statement but that there were
good reasons for not doing so today.
Mr.. Bevin told the house such
statement would necessarily DO
pre- judicial to the important dis
cussions which are still taking
place"
The foreign secretary said British
efforts have been aimed at adop-
ton of a United Nations Security
Council cease-fire resolution which
would be sufficiently objective and
impartial to have a good chance OF
acceptance by both sides" and at
getting the Jews and the Arabs to
accept such a resolution.
He said Britain is waiting to see
whether the Arab states will agree.
He said inquiries are being made
to make sure all the Jewish forces
will accept the cease-fire order lin
view of the previous occasion on
which the cease fire in Jerusalem
was broken by Jewish forces, thus
leading to the present fighting
Seek Common Approach.
A Foreign once spokesman told
a news conference earlier that the
United States and Britain are seek
ing "a common approach to the
solution of the Palestine problem"
The Bevin-Douglas meeting was
the third in four days.
The Foreign Once spokesmen told
reporters that. in the British view,
"a common glo-American policy
on Palestine would be the most
likely way of settling the problem"
The spokesman confirmed that
the position of approximately 40
British officers serving with King
Abdullah's Trans-Jordan Arab Le-
gion in Palestine Is under consid-
Grafton"
A government source said yester-
day that If the Arab states, includ-
ing Trans-Jordan, rejected the
United Nations cease-fire order,
Britain may withdraw the officers
on loan to the Arab Legion.
The Foreign ONCE spokesman said
that if and when decision is taken
on the withdrawal of these Britons.
lit will concern only the govern
mentS of Britain and Trans-Jordan."
