Learning for poms HISTORY'S HERO 'The Internationaf Sunday School "Jesus Exercising Kingly AND HIS CREAT Lesson For May 19th Is Authority."--Mark 11:1-33 By William T. Ellis. Hundreds of thousands of persons have seen the large picture, "The Conquerors" which was exhibited at the Chicago Fair, and has since been on exhibition in Philadelphia. No one who has ever looked upon it ean ever forget it. The canvass portrays the world's great conguerors 'march- ing, with banners: and insignia, in a solid column that dwindles off into the indistinguishable distance. There we see Napoleon and Caesar and Al- | exander and Charlemange and Cyrus and Xerxes and Ptolmny and th other men who heheld thé world a their feet. . Two facts about the great pictyrg at once suggest themselves to the thoughtful observer. The first dis that these conquerors come to glory by a pathway of death, destruction and desolation. The canvass is re- pellant 10 some sensitive natures be- cause of the two long lines of stark, grim, gray corpses that flank the conquerors on either side. What a price humanity had to pay that these men might wedr the laurel! The other ohvious remark is that the greatest of the world's conquer ors is not represénted, The victor ies of Alexander and Napoleon were inconsequent and ephemeral beside the conquest of 'Jesus.

Philosophy confesses that the greatest of philosophers was Lhe whose teachings were so new that they startled the philosophers who first heard them, and whose gentle epeech expressed the highest wisdom. The religions impulses of mankind find in Him "the one altogether Jove- 1¥."" The uaontinual coronation of Christ is the sublHmest spectacle of the centuries, "Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of all." Of all this, how little conception had the multitude which eagerly carpeted His path *with their gar- ments and with branches Rastily firipped from the palm trees! And how little' the baffled Pharisees un- ment "low the world has gone after him," waa in truth a prophecy of that day, now arrived, when Jésus should be the céntre of the stage 'of the universe. Men do not understand themselves and their own actions, much less their neighbor and his deeds. 'No- body, save the lonely and sad-heart- ed Man who rode at the center of this demonstration, received {ts significance as a startling fulfilment of the inspired Scripture, Even His disciples heeded the light that came hy the Spirit's descent after the as- interpret it.

Even the men who honor him least in their conduct, and deny Him the allegiance of their lives are quick to pay tribute to His charac- ter and to His teachings. In this atmosphere of universal laudation & the Son of Mary it is not easy to realize the intense, bitter and un- reasoning hatred with which Jesus wan viewed by the Pharisees and Priests. Ha was Rated for himself because He was a non-conformer, and a newcomer : with unconventional teachings. The old is the enemy of the new; "things as they are" ire the wordt enemy of things as they sShtruld he. 'The ossified religion of the 'ruling class among the Jews could not understand or tolerate for an instant His fresh, vital spirit from the hills. The crowning act that evoked Pharisaical enmity was the raising of Lazarus from the dead, For this they hated both Lazarus and the Lord, since it increased the lat- ter's popularity. There is direct con- nection between the triumphal entry and the fact that the Bethany home had given of its hospitality and friendship to Jesus. ¥ So popular had the Master become, for the moment, at least, that all the snarling dogs of envy and bigotry had to slink back, baffled into obscur- ity. "Behold, how ye prevail noth- Ing; lo, the world has gone after Him," they said among themselves, For in front of their eyes as they ga- thered in sullen groups was this tremendous ovation which = meant that Jesus was the idol of the hour. He could even be crowned king should He so desire. The danger of popularity in which flood many a promising hero has heen engulfed he- set Jesus in full tide. But He was not disturbed. There was not an extra beat to His pulse because of it, and not the slightest flush of exaltation upon His cheek. 'He knew what was in man," and He appraised the demonstration at its true value. He accepted exaltation as He accepted humanity, merely as 2 part of the work which the Father kad given Him to do. To Him the triumphal entry must have been nn- speakably sad, for He recogpized that the fitful multitude--many of these yery same persons who were shout- ing themselves hoarse with "hosan- na<--wonld within the week be ory- ing as lustily "'Crucity: Him! Crueify Him!" . The palm branches were but preliminary to the tree upon which He would shortly suffer. Ah, beavy was the cross that the gentle Jesus hore! A Conquerors Scdurge.
