pare a pathway by which his
ambassadors may journey
through all lands with the mes
sage of mercy for the sons Of
men,"
In Jesus time, there were
three centers of religious in
terest: /. The Law; 2. TIL e
Temple; and, 3. The Messiah
ic hope. Since the time of Ezra,
the written law of the Old testa-
ment had been the guiding rule
by which the Jewish life was re-
gulated. On the basis of this
law and its Interpretation, every
aspect of life was ruled. Since
the obligation to observe the
law, as interpreted by the trad
ition of the elders" was accepted
by all Jews as an essential part
of their religion, the Pharisees,
who devoted themselves to the
study and teaching and inter-
probation of the law, held in Ju-
daism a place Of the greast i'm
portance.
The Temple held first place in
the hearts of all Jews. AS the
crowning act of worship for the
first century Jew was the offer
ing of sacrifice to Jehovah and
the only place in all the world
where this could be done was
the temple at Jerusalem, there
fore Jews from all over the
world came on pilgrimages tol
this hiliest of places in all the
universe. Since these visitsI
could be made but infrequently
except by the inhabitants oil
Jerusalem, the synagogue be-
came the center of religious life
in the villages. The chief priests
who controlled the temple were,
by virtue of their position, in
name the heads of the nation,
and it was to them that the Ro-
mans looked when they sought
to deal with the Jews as a
people. The High Priest was the
head of the Sanhedrin, the Jew
ish council to which the Romans
entrusted whatever powers of |
local self-government they left
to the Jews of Judea. The great
priestly families were the center
of the party Of the Sadducees.
The Jews, proud and nation
alistic people, irked under the
Roman yoke and devout Israel
ties found comfort and peace in
the faith that God would in his
own good time fulfil the coven-
ant promise made to the fathers
of his chosen race. This father
ed the hope of a coming new
age, when Jehovah himself
would sweep away the existing
world system, and replace it by
his own perfect Kingdom in
which all the wrongs of his chos-
en- people would be redressed,
and Israel would be exalted to
its proper place in the world.
They had pictured the Messiah
as political savior rather than
spiritual savior.
Looking at the situation in
Palestine in which Jesus found
himself, we can agree with Paul,

when he declared that, 'in the
fulness of time, God sent forth
his Son" The intense expect
ancy which gave first to John
the Baptist and then to Jesus
ready hearing was the outcome
of long ages of slow growth and
development. His coming was
the time of Jerusalem's last visi-
tation, her final opportunity to
accept Gods way of salvation,
1t was the fulness of time but
Jerusalem and the Jews did not
accept it (Lk. 19:42).

the revival at the National for no
dialogue in the drama, from here

Deceiving no one, he wrote a re-
view that was a masterpiece of
politeness until the last paragraph
In that one, he said:
But, of course, The First Mrs.
Fraser always has been an amusing
play. no matter who wrote it,"
Those very words seemed true
again last night at the National
Theater where Jane Cowl opened a
weeks engagement in a revival of
The First Mrs Fraser Not so
true as they were 20 years ago, but
reasonably so.
There is something quite affecting
about this particular play regardless
of its authorship. Something in
addition to Miss Cowl. who is always
special. Such plays, which come in
dozens, are kind of apology for
what people of the theater do to the
institution of marriage After kick
ing 1t around from Reno to Riga,
some one thinks to write First
Mrs. Fraser" 1t always pictures
the first wife ss a paragon of nobil-
ity, charm, cleverness, intelligence
and virtue The plays point is that
It was a hideous mistake for the
husband to have left her.
Obviously, people of the theater
do not believe word OF this. They
know better. What the play
amounts to is a clever, quiet bogus,
love letter to the old girl to keep
her quiet while they live in bliss
with q fifth or sixth wife, or some
one even more statistically impress
sive.
These dishonest confessions do
nothing for the soul but they are
splendid at the box office.
With Miss Cowl, Ina Claire, Kat
arine Cornell, Peggy Wool. Ethel
Barrymore and eventually perhaps
Tallulah Bankhead, why not?
In these attacks on divorce, and
exaltations of women who probably
lost their husbands for very good
reasons which are not stated, play
wrights are a cagey lot The prac-
tice is to tag the whining, remorse-
full husband as a member of some
other profession or business. This
does not weaken the plays amusing
moral lesson and it diverts attention
from the fact that the theater is
fine one to be talking of divorce as
an evil, even a laughable one as it
always is in such drama.
Everything considered, the sur
prise is that there are not more of
such comedies.
Certainly they are perfect vehicles
for stars of Miss CoWl's glowing tai

 Questioned concerning the ap- plication of the measure to the local office, w. E. Huntley, U. $. commissioner here, said the bill would have little bearing on the Palmer office. Under provisions of the law, the salary is retained from fees collected by the com missioner. MT. Huntley said com missioner business III Palmer consistently netted less than $1,000 each year.
