It is this selfishâ€" ness of spirit that Jesus now rebukes. The words of this verse are, as it wore, an ejaculation, a thinking aloud of Jesus.

He could have reached the throne by other means beâ€" fore the present crisis had such been his ambition. _ It is a matter of almost common knowledge that the Czar, more than once, wes desirous of abdiâ€" cating before the present crisis and before the birth of an heir. â€" It is well known also that his younger brother did not desire to succeed him, and the unpopular Vladimir comes next. The truth is that Grand Duke Vladimir, Grand Duge Serge and other members of the “igmpenfi' family have kept Nichalos at his post almost by force. If current rg,ort in St. Petersburg may be believed they are doing so toâ€" day. _ Vladimir‘s appetites are sensual,. and it is his amusement to be the power behind the throne. He ‘has no desire to curb his debaucheries by the restrictions of imperial â€" prominence. European students of the situation are devoting their attention to the disâ€" covery of the reai object of the Grand Ducal coterie in creating Sunday‘s crisis. It is the general belief that Grand Duke Vladimir and his associâ€" ates deliberately sought a collision with the people instead of seeking to avoid it. _ Few credit the monstrous stupidity of the assumption that any group of men would seeck to terrorize 140,000 others by the shooting of a few thousand in the belief that the reâ€" mainder would then become loyal subâ€" jects.
