They know that cannou get the support of Rome unless they prove that Jesus is a political agitator. : . 16. But since the Pharisees do not wish to show their hand openly, they employ some of their disciples 'who have no official standing, and they obtain ths support of the 8 oon fans also, thus forming a most un- natural union. The Pharisees were the religious leaders of the people, and 'were not in favor of Romar control. But the Herodiuns, as their name sug- Youle, were defenders of the house of =} erod, and therefore of the Roman rulers. There was thus direct opposi- tion between these two parties, but now under the common desire to bring about the ruin of Jesus they join in . an unholy alliance. The manner of approach His all the outward appearance of respect. They address Jesus as a leading teacher, and they declare tlat he is truthful _and impartial, bit in * ir hearts they are all the time plotting his ruin. It is a picture of hypocrisy indeed. V. 17.

They covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land and all the fruit... . and there re mained not any green thing." Great swarms of locusts have dark- 'e'ed the sky in various sections of Africa and the near East, and swarms which sometithes are 12 miles long have made a deafeninz noise in flight as incalculable millions of voracious insects moved over or alighted in Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Transjordania, Ar- abla and Syria. Much damage has been done as far south as Kenya Colony and Tangan- yieka, wh re torrential rains halted the insect invasion. Swarms have advanced from coun: try to country, sometimes making flights of several hundred miles with- out alighting. , x Monkey Hunt in Church by Clergy London.--Lul., a female African monkey, made a dash for liberty re- cently when she slipped out of her cage in "Noah's Ark," a shop in Wat- erloo road, London, and scampered into the churchyard opposite followed by her owner. Round and round she ran and the chase was keen. Just by the church door a heavy hand fell on her, but, unfortunately, the owner of the heavy hand also fell against the church door and Lulu was once more at liberty. Inside the church were four people --three clergymen. Lulu hesitatingly crept down the aisle, bit soon all these clergymien were in hot pursuit. , : The monkey rushed up and dowa the aisle and began to leap over the pews until she was cornered and se- cured by the cldfgymen, who promptly handed her back to her owner. einen ANGER Anger is the most impotent passion that accompanies the mind of man; it effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the man who is possessed by it, more than any other against whom it is directed. It exposes him to laugh- ter and contempt, without any return in satisfaction and content, as most of the other passions do; it is a bar- ren and unfruitful vice, and only tor ments him who nourishes it. It is an flected mad ded of pride monly more mischief than that it can 'bringto pass; and without doubt, of the mind of man, it is most in our power to extinguish, at least, to sup- press and correct.--Clarendon. ses CHRISTIANITY That is the true C ity which effects the whole of life--Spurgeon.

In addition to these, there are said to be thousands of tiny unlisted hamlets, all threaten- ed by the machine age. Hefore quoting further editorial comment on this dark trend in Ameri- can l'fe, let us dip Into the census statistics which reveal it. Says an | Assoctated Press dispatch from Chi- cago: "sures from eight States surround- ing the 1920 center of population on the Illinois and Indiana line show that 92, or nearly 60 per cent. of the 161 small towns counted, suffered a re- duction in population of from 5 to 100 per cent, while those showing in- creaces in most cases have added few residents, frequently less than the nor- mal birth increase." As for what is making our villages wither, the same dispatch finds the explanation not only in the 1 bile, but in the multiplying tions of life, both in the big towns and on the farms: "Motor transportation over aod roads, motion-pictures in the larger towns, and the broadened view con- veyed to farmers and villagers by radio and daily newspapers account for the indicated shift in pepulation. "More modern farmhouses and de- livery of goods by rural free delivery have caused tillers of the soil to stay | on the old home place rather than go* to the near-by village, and thus have ! cansed the closing of many general stores in the small towns." | "It seems a pity," to the Philadel "that these hamlets phia Mmquirer, have to go, because they were one of | the things characteristic of the na- | tion," but the Portland Oregonian, re- ! minding us that the era of the cross | roads store "was a difficut one of drud- gery for women and the hardest of toil | for men, "bids us * e it to liter | ture with more of gratefulness than | regret." | Negro Choir of Boys and Cirls to Sing in Westminster Abbey London.-- The reception room of No. 10 Downing street resounded recently {to the voices of 40 negro boys and girls | from the United States, members of the Hampton choir, who were guest's Independence is one of the most!of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald | and his daughter Ishbel.
