Here it is the high priest‘s official, rather than his personal, distress. ‘"‘The high priest was not allowed to rend his clothes for his own sorrows, but he was expected to do so when a gross offense against God took place in words, that Jesus had spoken blasâ€" phemy, is full of sugsgestiveness. 64, Thou hast saidâ€"To have kept silent at this critical moment would have been a practical setting agide of all bhis claims for all time. â€" The form of our Lord‘s reply is given differently in Mark ("‘I aam‘‘), but the meaning is the «ame: | _ I adjure thee by the living Godâ€" This was the most solemn possible way of putting Jesus under oath, and the solemnity of it is increased when it is remembered that Caiaâ€" phas occupied the highest position "in the church and nation.

Perhaps he united the two with a subtle purpose ; for, if he could get Jesus to claim the latter, he would have a sufficient ground for condemâ€" nation. No doubt he was prompted to put the question by his intimate knowledge of the events connected with the triumphal entry. After all men do not recite their creeds in the churches; they write them on their own lives and on the minds of their fellows through the every day living of home and shop and store. deeds, to patient endeavor, to true love and helpfur living. _ Build up within the faith that looks forward, the creed that augâ€" ments your confidence in the harâ€" mony of the universe, the goodness and justice of the infinite, the worth of life and the joy of love, the creed that compels me to lose my old self, to leave my old ways and to step out into a wider world and breaths purer air, the creed that outgrows itself in higher, clearer vision.
