Golden text: “Hosanna to the son of David; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Matthew, xxi.5 No inaugural committee ever planned with greater care than our Lord did His _triumphal entry into Jerusalem. He had been aware for some time that the l«pfmlchlnl passover would mark the of His earthly career. He read the signs of His danger in the cries of the blind man for assistance, when the sightless one tried to arrest the Master’s attention by calling Him to help, ad- dressing Him with a Messianic title. He saw in the attitude of His en- emies, who arrived in Bethany soon after His arrival, the evidence of their determination. Jesus made one more heroic effort to win the nation by en- tering Jerusalem, in a manner that fulfilled at least two of the prophets’ predictions concerning their Messiah's entering Jerusalem riding upon the colt, whereon never man had ridden. He commandeered the animal and took the man’s property because, as a King, He possessed that privilege. The dem- onstration by the people indicated that they recognized His claims, but the leaders would not accept Jesus as a spiritual king; they wanted a ma- terjalistic and temporal king. While the songs and shouts of the great multitude, who had taken up the refrain proclaimed by the blind man at Jericho, demonstrated the enthusiastic attitude of the multitude, the same crowd before the week passed cried that they crucify Him.

Stevenson. Christ in songs, they objected. Jesus defended the children by reminding the leaders of the saying of the Scripture that had predicted the very scene that they sought to stop, by asking them, “Did ye never read, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, thou hast per- fected praise?” In this Jesus indicat- ed how much He appreciates the love and worship of children. Jesus never changes. He still longs to hear their voices praising Him. Parables of Judgment, Jesus defended His acts of cleansing the Temple, when the Scribes and Pharisces came to Him demanding that by that authority doest Thou these things?”+ He answered by asking them a question, that they did not dare to answer, “Whence was the authority of John the Baptist, from God or man?” They did not dare deny that John'’s authority was from God. If they acknowledged that the Baptist had au- thority from God, then they saw that they would be forced to acknowledge that Jesus had much more authority from Jehovah than His forerunner pos- sessed. He spoke the parable of the two sons to the Scribes and Pharisees teaching the difference between actual and verbal obedience. In this parable the son, who promised “I go, sir,” rep- resented the hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees. The one, who bluntly says, T will not,” yet later repents and obeys represents the sinners, who openly ac- knowledged and confessed their sins when John issued the call for all to repent. The leaders were blind and asked Jesus which one of the two obeyed. Jesus tluh:kly answered, “He that did the will of his father.” Our Lord warned them that “the publican and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” He also spoke the parable of the wicked husbandmen the nation’s ruler: It contains a vivid picture of Israel's great privileges, great sins and approaching doom. It needs no inter- pretation, for the people were familiar with the use of the vineyard as an tmage and fillustration of themselves. of Jerusalem. He wept over the city | The prophets had used it. This parable when He knew that they would change their attitude toward Him. He wept not at what He would suffer, but be- cause Jerusalem was about to cast aside forever the peace of God. In their longing for a place in the political sun they forgot for the moment that the Lord alone was the only one who could give them political rank. His heart was deeplyy moved, for He loved His fellow countrymen and longed to make Jerusalem the capital of His dominion if they had been moved deep enough to accept Him as their Lord when He was entering the city that He loved as the Son of David and their King. After He entered the city through the Golden Gate and appeared once more in the Temple Courts, where He had taught the people the principles of the King- dom of God, they were given another opportunity to accept Jesus as their K&q[. He had come unto His own and they failed to recognize Him as their King. Cleansing the Temple. ‘The Temple was the center of their religious life. It was a sacred place to the Lord. When He entered and ob- served how they had desecrated its sacred precincts by turning the house of worship into one of commerce, The Master struck a telling blow at His enemies. The ecclesiastical powers that had oversight over the Temple were financially interested in the profits that were derived by allowing the folks from a distance to secure from one of their personal representatives the of- ferings required with which to worship Jehovah. Every one of the various sacrifices were all types of the Lord is a condensed history, prophecy and condemnation. He looked His enemies, who had planned to murder Him, in the face ‘The reception that had been given the prophets, who tried to secure from them a recognition of their obliga- tion to God, was followed by Jehovah sending His Son. When He arrived, they said, “Let us kill Him.” They did not realize that they were pronouncing their own doom when they answered the Master’s question. “He will destroy those miserable men and give the vine- yard to others.” But some, who recog- nized the parable’s | terrible meaning, cried, “God_forbid!” Jesus fearless| pronounced His judgment upon His en mies, looking them square in the eye. It made them so mad that they sought 1o lay hands upon Him in that very our. as a King over property, visited the cen- ter of the nation’s political and religious life, cleansed the Temple and instructed the Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus finall sought rest in the only place that wi home to Him_ after He left Nazareth to enter upon His public ministry. It is appropriate upon Mother's day, when we recall the great souls who have made the home the factor that it is and should be in the life of the world, that we have the glimpse of our Lord put- ing His hand of approval upon the first institution to be organized by the Heavenly Father to help mold the ris- ing generations alorig religious lines. The choicest product of Christianity is the home, where God's word is studied and all learn that they have a part in helping to prepare the way for the coming of the King of Glory.

It was in 1152 that Roald, the con- stable of Richmond Castle in York- shire, founded upon his manor of Easby a monastery of Premonstratensian can- ons, under the patronage of the Sicilian martyr, St. Agatha. Its wealth and privileges were greatly increased in sub- sequent centuries, especially through the benefactions and influence of the Scrope family, the lords of Bolton, to whom the manor’ belonged after the time of Ed- ward IIL. Easby, with the other houses of St. Norbert's rule in England, remained under the jurisdiction of the abbot of Premontre and the general chapter of the order until 1512, when the English houses were made independent by a buil Easby Abbey—Yorkshire, England. of Pope Julius IT and placed under the ontrol of the abbey of Walbeck in North Nottinghamshire. But hardly had this change been ac- complished When the sword fell upon the religious houses of Great Britain, and the White Canons disappeared with the other orders, and did not return until the last quarter of the present century. The abbey and village of Easby are picturesquely situated on the banks of the River Swale, 2 miles from the town of Richmond. One of the most beautiful features still remaining is the great window of the refectory, a building which dates from the relgn of Edward IIL On the abhey side of the cloistef is a rematkable circular Norman doorway, enriched with fantastic decorations, It rests upon a cluster of round columns with sculptured capitals, and is curi- ously adorned with cats’ heads, the tongues of which are hanging out and curled at the extremities. Above all is. an elegant molding of foliage. Near the portal is a great tree which is still called “the abbot's elm.” ‘The gateway, which is still in perfect repair, has been a subject of much dis- pute among antiquarians on account of the circular arches which appear be- neath the pointed ones, Some suppose that the circular arches were intro- duced at a late period on account of some actual or imagined weakness in the original structure, while others as- sert that it was simply an architectural experiment on the part of the original builder. 3 “JOSEPH AND SON" TO BE SERMON THEME Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church Program for Tomorrow Is Announced. “Joseph and Son—Partners” is the theme tomorrow of the 11 o'clock serv- jce at the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Churth by Dr. J.

Methodism has directed humanity’s emotional cur- rents into their proper channels and turned the baser passions of men to their true objective, refining them in the process. In addition, it has pré- served fine traditions of scholarship and churchmanship from its beginning to the present hour. John Wesley was not only a states- man evangelist, he was also a_classi- cal scholar and physician, a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford, and is now considered one of the glories of that university. He insisted upon the ad- vantages of a trained ministry, and from the first Methodism has had dis- tinguished clergymen who were fully competent for the tasks assigned them. Dr. Adam Clarke was retained in Lon- don, despite the itinerary system of his church, in order that he might assist in translating certain Oriental manu- scripts for the British Museum. Jo- seph Benson produced, as did Dr. Clarke, a very respectavle commentary cover- ing the entire Bible. Richard Watso: although not technically a scholar, was one of the most profound and moving preachers of his Yiay. Willlam Burt Pope was not only a scholar but a theo- logian. Following in his wake came the Moultons, father and sons, whose names are well known in the world of biblical scholarship. In more recent days the late President Willlam_ Fairfield Warren, founder of Boston Univerity; Dr. John McClintock of Drew Seminary, Madison; Dr. James Strong, the author of the well known encyclopedia of the Bible; Dr. Willlam Theophilis Davison, of whom it can be said that he is one of the most brilliant and devout scholars of the English- speaking world; Dr. Joseph Agar Beet, who wrote some of the best commen- taries on the Pauline Epistles, are one and all divines familiar to every Eng- lish-speaking student of Holy Scriptures. In addition, Dr. Herbert B. Work- man has gained distinction as an au- thority upon medieval church history, and Dr. Robert B. Rogers is known in the United States, Great Britain and continental Europe as a great Assyri- ologist and Hebraist. This is no mere catalogue of names, but an authentic statement setting forth what has been done in every branch of both Old and New Testament study, as well as textual research, historical backgrounds, exel sis, bilieal theology and church his- fory by men who were ministers or members of world Methodism. Moreover, Arthur Samuel Peake, whose monument is found in the min- jstry of the church to which he be- longed, literally revolutionized its intel- lectual attitude within a lifetime. His memory is kept fragrant in the close interest which thousands of eager stu- dents have taken in the Bible he helped ! to rediscover. . Do you not find it difficult to be- 1le$e nmt3 every man is as important as the Christian religion teaches, in-view of the findings of modern science re- garding the chemical nature of man's reactions and the size of the universe? s so to me. ‘t:.“;{“our difeulty will largely disap- pear when you realize that the more scientists discover about the universe the more wonderful becomes its crea- tive and controlling mind. One of the striking features of cotemporary think- ing is its insistence that what we caill our world depends upon our personal conception of it. Ceursllnly the impairment of self by ignorance or narrowness impairs that self’s world, and the destruction of self involves for all practical purposes the destruction of that world.

No theory of man or of the universe can change the fact that the theorizer is greater than his theory. Nothing but mind can discount mind. In a word, as Prof. Whitehead observes, “Mind always remains outside the cate- gories it employs.” Think about this observation and think about it long enough to be convinced that man can never be “unimportant.” Nor can he blow up religion without first blowing up his own soul—a truth too many so- ’called philosophers and psychologists gnore. Q. What is mysticism and how did it rise? arise? A. Mysticism is the cry of the human heart for its Maker. It has generally arisen when doctrinal theology was nar- row and barren. It rebelled against the fear instilled by rabid presentations of God’s anger against man. It endeavored to conceive Him more justly and to ex- perience the blessedness of conscious fellowship with Him. These aims found expression in re- ligious brotherhoods and communities. Men and women resorted to the cloister or associated themselves with new teachers who had deeply meditated on the inward realities of the Christian Faith. Their longing for communion with a personal Deity breathes in the words and deeds of these seekers and thinkers. Catholic and Protestant devotions have pronounced elements of mysticism in them and the various sectarie? gave it fervid forms. The Albigenses, in France, the cult of the Holy Spirit, the Petrobrusians, the Apostolic Brethren and the Waldenses have been recognized as sharing in the methods and aims of mysticism. Dr. Allen remarks in his volume en the “Continuity of Christian Thought” (page 207) that “these. movements, however diverse in aspect, were yet alike in their realization of a closer relation- ship between God and man’ They found the Father of all in the souls of His children. The dangers of subjec- tive mysticism are apparent, and John Wesley complained that he had been jeopardized by its extremes. But it has shed a celestial light on the pathway of millions of pilgrims who were heaven- ward bound.
