“And they come to Jerusalem: and
Jesus went into the temple, and be-

bought in the temple, and overthrew
the tables of the money changers, and
the seats of them that sold doves.”

of the temple is an act determined
and deliberated, of special importance.
!t Was a great prophetic act. Jesus
was “the champion of a moral aud
ethical religion over against a relig-
ion of cult and ceremony.” That the
prophetic was in. the mind of Jesus
is shown by his combination of two
passages from Isaiah 58:76; and Jere-

Deliver ws. May we think less and

church; and more and more of what

A DAY OF TRIUMPH

Writers throughout the ages have
called the first day in Passion Week,

_*A Day Of Triumph” from the fact

ef Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusa-
fem. As a matter of fact every day
was a day of triumph with the Mas-
fer; for every day came to a close
with some victory won over sin and
forces of evil. The darkest hours
ja the life of Jesus were hours of vic-
and sin. On
iim Sunday the crowd made a dem-
and acclaim that would

miah 7:11. Jesus was willing to bring}

down upon him the bitter and swift
opposition of his enemies rather than
to suffer the profaning of thexsanc-
tuary of God. Perhaps the cleansing
of the temple was the one oct more
than anything else, that brought to

a most determined and unrelenting
antagonism,

AT GRIPS WITH THE LESSON
By Albert Buckner Coe
Mary Magdalene,

Severance, had a Ki

ence at the tomb. In verses 10-11 we

weeping.”

Convinced. that
the body of Jesus was not there the
two men dejectedly walked away. But
Mary stood there at the opening of
Bic tomb. Then came the rich €x-
Peritnce. She stooped down and look-
ed in, There she saw “two angels in
white sitting, the one at the head and
the other at the feet where the]
body of Jesus had lain.” Tha
was the first reward for waiting. Then
came a second reward. She turned
and “saw Jesus standing and knew
not that it was Jesus.” So often in
| complete discouragement we depart
from life and miss the richest rewards,
Mary is an example of perseverance.

Some students will not be satisfied
to stop at this spiritual lesson. They
will want to go more criti ally into

" ait ; the subject. They may like the em-|
teive ye the Holy Spirit: 23 whose! phasis of Renan, who explained the

resurrection as due to “subjective vi-
sion.” Mary Magdalene, a woman out
of whom went seven devils (Luke 8:2)
“would be a violent demoniac, and in
his judgment a fit subject for halluci-
nations,”

Regardless of how we may estimate
Renan we still believe that the narra-
tive itself carries the evidence of his
torical reality. And futhermore, wi
believe that “the faith which springs
from spiritual insight is superior to
the faith which rests on sensible ¢vi-
dence.”

Jesus made his first appearance to
the disciples in upper

ebing absent. Jesus entered, the doors
being shut. The eleven had been talk-
ing of him constantly sinct his cruci-
fixion. Their minds prepared
for him. After showing them his
hands and his side Jesus “breathed on
them and said unto them, ‘Receive
ye the holy spirit: whose soever sins]
ye forgive, they are forgiven unto]
them; whose soeyer retain,
they are retained.”

This is Easter day. Would it were
possible to have the Christ come into
our lives as he did into the lives of
the discples long ago! As I write, the
National Preaching Mission is in full
swing across this country. The men,
and women who are leading our think-
ing are themselves “suomerged” in
Christ. They earnestly desire that
Christ become a reality to the millions
of people throughout the land. A
spiritually minded person believes that
Christ stands without the door knock-
ing and will come inte our lives if
we but open the door by giving our
earnest thought to him and our con-
secration as well. ster ought to
mean so miich to tus. The crowds go
to church on Easter Sunday, Some
of them know why they go and some
do not. If we could inspire people

seeking, they would be sure to have
Christ enter their lives on*the day of
resurrection.

A PALM SUNDAY MEDITATION

Palms will wave in my joyous heart,
Glad hosannas I will sing,

Mid the din of life’s dull roar
Bells will victory’s message ring.

From the mist of years now dead
Rides a Man with quiet grace,
As a shouting, eager throng

Hail Him King, before His face.

Hushed in awe the loud acclaim,
When they see the journey’s end,
Palms of victory, praise and song—
He must His own life blood spend.

But the greatest peril is that you
will only help to ally your church with
some particular political order instead
of with a timeless fellowship with all
Christiafs in every land—a fellowship
which is above and beyond any poli-
tical order. Ministers have made this
mistake in every generation. During
the war of the Revolution many 4
minister fulminated from his pulpit
against Washington and Jefferson and
their followers. In the 1860's the
churches of America were split into
north and south branches and most
of those splits are perpetuated to this
day. In southern pulpits sermons were
“damyankées”,

bloody rebels. The middle-aged mem-
hers of this audience remember all too
well the atrocity stories about Ger-
mans that were told as gospel truth
from England and American -pulpits
during the World War.

tinue to allow those who believe only

in force and violence for self-preseva-

tion to dominate our national and in-

ternational policies or shall we assert

our convictions as religious men that

spiritual values cannot be defended by

violence but must be preserved by ag-

gressive acts of good will and. mutual

aid? Shall- our social life be orga-

nized only around the hunger motives

or shall we weave into it also the love

motives? These are the great politi-

cal questions of the hour. These are

essentially religious questions, for they

concern the welfare and destiny of|
the whole people. Upon our answers
to these questions hangs the greatest
Guestion of all: Does our civilization
have survival value?

You want to exercise your prophetic

means do it! But tackle these issues,
not the petty ones, One great differ-

the true one is that the false prophet
tackles petty issues; he strains at

prophet has a long, long look. He sees
the present in the light of the cen-

live in the modern world. But as pro-
phets you must live in the eternal
world. You must help your people to
relate themselves not only to their

Now the minister’s duty, as I-see it,
is to make clear the distinction be-
tween two ways of life, to make, the
Kingdom of God way more appealing
than the world’s way. It is a task in
persuasion. That task for him begins
at home. He must practice that King-
dom of God way himself. He must
persuade other individuals to accept
it and follow it. He must persuade
social groups from the local communi-
ty organizations to the nation itself
to this Kingdom of God way of life.

If this is a fair statement of the
minister’s prophetic function it follows
that he will not preach any particular
form of immediate economic plan of
salyation, whether capitalism, fascism,
socialism, or communism. Rather, he
will bring them all to judgment be-
fore the tribunal of the Kingdom of
God. In the stirring times. ahead he

CELEBRATION-ST. PAUL
CHURCH, WICHITA, KANS”
Founders week was observed by St.
Paul A. M. E. Church, beginning Sun-
day, February 7th, celebrating the
1S0th anniversary of African Metho-
dism, and the 177th. anniversary of
the birth of Rt. Rev. Richard Allen,
Ft was a special pleasure and privil-
ege to have present on this occasion
at the opening, our esteemed Bishop,
Noah W. Williams. It was his first
visit since being assigned to this the
Fifth Episcopal District, and he was
accorded a most hearty welcome as a
distinguished “Christian leader who’ has
merited the highest office the church
can At the morning service
at Eleven o'clocK, Bishop Williams
preached to a large congregation,
every available space in spacious audi-
torium being filled long before the
hour for preaching arrived. His mes:
sage was well received and_ highly
appreciated, as. being impressive and
inspiring, stressing the great accom-

bv

| plishments of the loyal and courage-

cus founders of our great organiza-
besides paying an eloquent
tribute to the work of the Rt> Rey.
Richard Allen as a challenge t& the
youth and the church of today, “Ideal
Christian. Leadership... The coming|
of Bishop Williams was an awakening
of new life, enthusiasm and a greater
interest for the future church. The
celebration Was continued through the
week by the presentaion of a program
on Monday evening by the two chap-
ters of the Eastern Star. On Tues-
Klay evening, Rev. E.,E. Tunstall, of
St. Mark M. E. Church, his choir and
members conducted the program;
Wednesday evening, Rev. C. C. Petti-
cord with his choir and members were
in charge of the program; on Thurs-
day evening, the program was pre-
sented by the Masonic orders of the
city; Friday evening was known as
“St. Paul Night", with Rev. T. W
Greene, our pastor in charge of the
service. Closing of the weekt Febru
ary 14th, with the observance of Bish-
op Allen’s 177th birthday anniversary
At- the morning service Rev. Greene
preached an inspiring sermon to a
large congregation, which was an ap-
peal for more concerted loyalty to the
church, the greatest organization a-
mong our race in the world, an or-
ganization which has clearly proven

tion

the Negro is capable of self-govern-|}

ment. Sunday evening a special pro-
yram was rendered by a group of the
membership which was very inter-
esting, and thus did the celebration of
“Founders Week” come to a very suc-
cessful close.
