ing of Lizerus from the dead is attracting
the pointer attention to Jesus Di Nemeth
as it has never been excited loafer°. To
check. that growing enthusiasm befere it
shall bristle forth in open acolanation ie the
agitating problem to the Sanhedrim.
Doubtletat there are numerena suggestions
that divide the minds batman the fear
of an already interested people and
the unmlistalcable trend of events. There
is one string that may alwaya be
auocessfully played upon, if touched in-
oeniously, to the profound public alarm.
at is the half tittered terror thet murmurs at
every Jewish feast, and haunts a dreaded
whisper, in the slumbers of the night—the
fear taat the Roman power, already holding
Judea as a mere sworapy, shall came and
take away both their place and nation; a
threat so soon to be realized when Jerues-
lem, a few years later, shell be besieged,
&red and sacked by the victoria/la Tito,
and the remnant, escaped of the sword,
oarrieta oriptivo to grace his jubilant return
to Rome. The cunning Calaphaa knows
how skillfully to strike that string. He is
worthy to ba a demagogue wire puller of
the Nineteenth Century. If he can bat
make it appear that this increasing fame
of Jesus ehall seem to the 'watchful eye of
Rome seditiona, the popular heart will be
startled to terror and will consent to his
violent taking off. "Ye know nothing at
all." he says, as checking the conflicting
opinions, "nor consider lb expedient) for ue
bhab one man ahould die for the people"
and that the whole nation perish ult."
" This apake he," Ada the evaneelist, "not
of himself, but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should seie for that
nation.' That is, speaking not as by his own
authority, but using she superstitious
reverence that attaohed to his high
ogee, he brought the force of an as-
sumed prophetic power to pley upon the
terrors of the people. Unwittingly,
you perceive, laleiaphas is giving expres.
Dion to the great truth of vicariousness
upon which not only human redemption'
but humau life in so many of its spheres'
depends. Even more, unconsciously to
hitoseif, end. with seepirit that excuses none
of its baseness, although he becomes an
instrument in narrying out the gracious pur
pose of God, Calaphas is oontirming the
divine intent that is to give a Saviour to the
world. How frilly is he verifying that after
declaration of Peter in Aots, jastifying the
parealox which this laistory makes so plain,
"Him " thee is Christ, "being delivered by
the deiterminato counsel and foreknowledge
of God, ye have cruoified and slain." In its
application to the atonement; then, remark
the force of this truism of Calaphars : "It
i3 expedient for ue that one men should die
for the people, and that the whole nation
pariah not." A men may basely, basely
utter that which divine grata in the higher
realm of his purporse has already daoreed.
To be truthful it is nob enough that you
speak, words that may not ba refuted.

of God slain from the foundation of the
world. Your redemption and mine rota
upon no intervening aocidenb of min, an
afterthought of Deity arising in a moral
necessity. Upon ourselves ouch a belief is
as damaging as to the honor of God. For
do you. not see that it reduces the thought of
realm/410n on our part to a mere ermape from
penalty, a salvation from death, apart from
the lofty and glorious purpose to ennoble,
to raise to a moral fitness for habitation
with God? The State builds jails and it
builds publio reboots. In both instanoesi
according to one view, its purpose is the
