Having spent the night at Bethany. they returned on the .tnorrow'to Jeru~ saletn. l’rohzihb they returned early in the morning. and He at least seems to have had no morning meal. for He was hungry. See His real humanity in that He hungered. thirsted. was weary. wept (John iv. 6. 7; xi. 3?». See His humility in that He consented to be thus dependent upon others on this earth. which He Himself had made. Though He was rich. for our sakes He became poor that we through His pov- erty might be forever rich (John 1. 10. 11; ll Cor. viii. 9». He was no doubt literally hungry. but as there was meat of which His disciples knew not (John iv. 32». so there were a bun ger and thirst of which they knew not. He hungered for fruit from lsrael. who proved to be an empty vine. bring- ing forth fruit unto himself: a had vine. bearing only wild grapes (Hos. Xi. i l l } 1 I i l l . .. Jerusalem was the national center. and the temple was the spiritual cen- ter. as the heart is the vital center of our being. and true cleansing must be from the center outward. Man looketh on the outward appearance. but the Lord looketh on the heart. ' He says: “1. the Lord. search the heart. I try the reins even to give every man - according to his ways and according 9 l to the fruit of his doings“ (1 Sam. xvi. 7: Jer. xvii. 10). See a beautiful and appropriate prayer in PS. cxxxix. 23. 2-1. In the cleansing in 11 John He ac- cused them of making His Father’s house a house of merchandise. while here He says that instead of its being a house of prayer they had made it a den of thieves (verse 17). The refer- ence is to lsa. lri. 7. ”Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all house which is called by my name be- : come a den of robbers in your eyes?" l 3 . The question is asked in Mal. iii. 8. :“W'ill a man rob God?“ And it is -' also answered. lnstead of recognizing ‘ l l l t l l '. all things as given as by God to hold for Him and use as His stewards many are more apt to say: "Our lips This lesson is recorded in Matthew and Luke. as well as in Mark. or at least part of it. Matthew says that He saw a fig tree in the way. and Mark says that He saw it afar 03. Both phrases are suggestive of the facts that. while Israel professed to he in the way. she was really afar off. Bav- ing leaves was a profession or fruit bearing: His finding nothing but leaves was disappointing harrenness. The parable of the tie, tree in Lake xiii. 6-9. shows His patience with His fig tree. His saying in Man. vii. 16. teaches that it requires a real fig tree to hear figs. The first reference to fig leaves in the {ihle shows man‘s vain effort to substitute something instead of the beautiful garments of tight which he had lost (Gen. iii, Tl. while the refer- ence in Ilah. iii. 17. 11*. shows that. though all that is of nature should fail. yet we may find neat (-aase of rejoicing in the Lord Himself. Yout 1.: translates "forever" (verse Hi to ”the age." and we know that. while Israel as a nation has borne no fruit since she rejected Christ. the time is coming when “Israel shall blossom and bud and till the face of the world with fruit" (lsa. xxvii. 6i. He came to Jerusalem and went into the temple and began to cleanse it. as He had done at the be- ginning of His ministry (John ii. 13-17). g (and all things; are our own. Who is 3 lord over us?“ (1’s. xii. 4.) The only 3 right attitude is that of David when 1 he said. “All things come of Thee. and !of Thine own have we given Thee” {(1 .3 :on. xxix. l4». The temple was originally built for the Lord that He might dwell there in the midst of His people lsrael and that all people of the earth might know Him and fear and serve Him (1 Kings viii. 43-60». but now that the Lord had come to His own temple He was crowded out by business and self seeking. It is even so still in the churches. which are supposed to be for His worship. but from which He is ex- cluded by many things and by worldly ways and in which there is often no room for Him. He is often. as in Rev. iii. ‘20. inquiring if any person will open his heart's door to Him. hardly expecting that a church will welcome Him. The chief priests and scribes were in. creasingly determined to destroy Him because His teaching was so opposed to theirs. He taught daily in the tem- ple and at night went out to the Mount of Olives. for there seemed to be no more of a home welcome for Him any- where than there was in the temple (Luke xxl. 31’; John vii. 53; viii. 1). It was and still is the same old story, “No room for Him" (Luke ii. 7). His thoughts and ways are so far above ours that in our low and unworthy way of looking at things 'we cannot seem to welcome Him as we should. ln the morning as they returned to the city the disciples marveled to see the fig tree withered away.

The rent consists of a garland of roses every June. and need- less to say, the garland is duly for- warded. and is a thing of beauty as it ought to be. - "n'â€"' " " In September every year two fag- gnts are paid at the Law Courts by the City Remembrancer as rent for lands held by the City Corporation from His Majesty the King. This official not only has to deliver the two faggots. but has to see that they are properly received and aCeept a duly signed and witnessed receipt for them, which is filed in the City’s archives. The authorities of the Isle of Port- land make a queer sort of collection every Novemhex on behalf of His Majesty. It is called the “King’s Halfpenny”; but, as a. nrc'ttter of feet, every cottager on the island pays a farthing,‘ ever? cottage with at garden as. half-penny.

His title was the Royal Head-holder. However, as the lust monarch to call for this service was Edward 1., and, especially as his present, Majesty is a sailor. it is very unlikely that the eX~ isxiug Solomon was called upon to pvt-form his functions.
