Jesus on Palm Sunday after he nad

spontaneous action on the part of Je-

the temple. In Mark however, we find
that the cleansing occured as the main
event in the sceond day, or Monday;
and is therefore an act more deliberate.

lives will be one great declaration that} Read Mark 11:27-33.
He is Lord of all, There is no day in the entire ministry
of Jesus to which the first three Gospel |
writers give so much space and material
as this third day in Passion week. So'
much happens on this day that the
reader is apt to forget that the event
took place in one day. The temple,
where Jesus purge the money-changers,
becomes the scene,
“Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes “Hosanna” cry;
iour meek, pursue Thy road,
With palms and sattered garments
strewed, ;
Ride on, ride on in majesty!

the chief priests plotted against his
life.
The completely surrendered Chris-}
tian never questions the authority of
Jesus to have the entire rule of his
heart, His authority to rule over us is
not disputed because we know that He
alone has the power to transform our
sinful lives.
Whenever we refuse to conform our
lives to his will and teaching, no matter
what we may say, we are questioning
his authority.
Prayer: Gracious Lord, we surren-
der our all to Thee. We know that
thou hast the authority to rule over us.
Grant that we may unhesitatingly fol-
low thee whithersoever thou does lead.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE
COULD
“She hath done what she could.”—
Mark 14:8,
Read Mark 14:1-11.
Matthew and Mark place the anoint-
ing in Bethany on Wednesday of Pas-
sion week. Many writers think that
it is an insertion in Mark because it in-
terrupts his narrative. Be that as it
will or may, it seems to me that it has
peculiar significance coming as it does
so shortly before the crucifixion of our
Lord.
No effort expended in honoring the
Christ is ever wasted. Because the
woman erected a monument of love her
deed has become an imperishable me-
morial. Not realizing the true signi-
ficance of what she was doing in fol-
lowing the promptings of her heart,
nevertheless what she did had the ele-
ment of a sacrament. As we go forth
doing the little nameless deeds of love,
let us never lose sight of the fact that
what may be deemed as of little conse-
quence by us may take on the propor-
tions of a mighty act in the days to
come. :
Prayer: Dear Father, help us to be
imbued with the importance of our
every acts performed in the name of
Jesus. May we, doing what we can,
pour out our best for thee at all time.
In Jesus name. Amen.

THE PREPARATION OF THE
PASSOVER
“And he will show you a large upper’
room furnished and prepared: there
make ready for us.’—Mark 14:15." *
Read Matt. 26:17-19.
The fifth day of Passion week is the
least eventful of all according to the
three Gospel writers. Closing at sun-
set, Thursday witnesses only one event,
the Preparation of the Passover. Re-
maining in Bethany, Jesus does not
enter the City of Jerusalem but sends
his disciples to make the proper ar-
rangements. The Passover was a
Jewish feast, and Jesus prepares to
celebrate it in the truly Jewish manner.
What was in the heart and mind of
Jesus we cannot know. But we are
certain that as he comes to the end of For Jesus remembers, when ot”

in Chichester cathedral. in England.

him into a mystic. Thought Jesus would

Before us is a bulletin of a sub-

| Christian gentleman and an able
preacher, Our gaze falls upon the
financial statement of the church
‘for the year: ‘ OVER 200

| LUTELY NOTHING,” for. the
| support of the church and the gos-
|pel. Chureh members ought treat
their vows and obligations sacred-

in Zion’? The dream of a
better world must possess us.
Nearly 2000 years ago He carried
His cross to a lonely hill and was
| nailed upon it between two thieves

‘in Zion.” He chose the hard way

us the vision, consecration and

THE CONNECTIONAL
COUNCIL
It appeared conclusively that
the Connectional Council is deter-
mined to stand on guard for the
interests of our Methodism. It
is prepared to preserve the sacred
trust which has come: down from
former generations. It says, “We
won't destroy the church of our
fathers, and you shan’t.” The Con-
nectional Council stands firmly
and unequivocally by the General
Conference election of E. A. Sel-
by as Secretary-Treasurer of the
Sunday School Union, and the
Department of Religious Educa-
tion. It also stands for ultimately
regaining full control of the Sun-
day School Union property in
Nashville.

; To save the white race from pass-

is impossible for the simple reason
that the blood stream has been
\interfused from the beginning of
_ human life on the'earth. It is silly
for man to try flying into the face
of nature. The Senator is correct

with the public school authorities see
that the boys and girls have at least one

All classes and other auxiliaries made

A short memorial service was held
for the deceased members of the church.
