Took counsol-They were laying their plans to bring joule Under their power. They had made repeated attempts to accomplish this already, hut their hatred was inVete- rate luta it urged them on to renewed efforte to destroy him. hIntangle hita in his talk -The time is that of thoee who lay snami to teach birds, tlitrist's enemies laid their plane carefully to catch Jesus with questions, the an - swore of which would bring him into disfavor with the people or the go.v- eminent, or would bring lam under the condemnation, of the Jewish law. Their efforts to prove him wicked were strong, but they made no effort to accept him as the elbssiali. 16, They -The Pharisees. Their diselPiee-The scribes and lawyers had, atte Opted to entrap Jesus awl had failed, now the Pharisees conceived the plan of send- ing some of their pupils under the pretense of seeking instruction front Jesus, thinking they might find Jesus off his guard. With the Herodians- The Pharisees were the extreme Jew- ish party, and the Herodians were, per- haps, the inost liberal of Jewish. sects. They were not a religious party, but a political. As the name which they bore indicates, they were supporters of Herod, who represented the Roman government; hence they were favor- able to the Roman rule of Palestine. The two parties were opposed to each other, since the Pharisees strenuously objected to the sablection of the Jew- ish nation to any outside government; but the Pharisees and Herodians join- ed together in their attack upon Jesus, for both parties bated him. We know thou ate true --fn thus addressing Jesus they acknowledged las e•eracity, but their motive was to bring lam into disrepute, ratlwr than to honor hiM. Tcaehest the way of ated in truth - They confessed that Jesus spoke with divine authority, but they were simply employing flattery to aid them in their wicked design. They professed to be seeking instruction. Regardest net the person of men -They attributed to him fearlessness in the declaration of truth. He would tell, the truth whether Men, oven kings, were pleased or displease.d. They approached him as if he eould be caught by flattery, and thus, in their attempted compliments, they really insulted him. They evidently understood what was expected of hon. arable men, They well knew that it was right tie speak the truth, even if there were those who would be an- gered by it. The very fact that they knew this brought condemnation upon themselves, for they were approaching Jesus under false colors. II. The Plotters' Question (v. 17). Tell us therefore -Inasmuch as thou art able to speak with divine author- ity and hasten° respeet• of persons, give us instructions in a very weighty matter. Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar or not -The tribute was a tax levied upon each person by the Roman governinent and aMounted an- nually to about fifteen cents, or a day's wages. The questioners sup- posed Jesus would have to say that it was lawful or that it was not' lawful, If He said it was lawful to pay tri- bute to Caesar, the common people who had been His friende, would- turn against Him, for they were strongly opposed to the idea of recognizing the Rein= government and liable .to u pnishment. The combined enemies of Jesus were confluent that the an- swer to their question would involve Him in. trouble, whatever His answer might be. They failed to bear -.in, mind the fact that they were dealing with the divine One, who not only knew the principles of government, but also understood dearly their pur- pose in asking the question. This was an instance in weich it was pear eible to keep aloof from either side of a controversy without being con- sidered a coward o melting in moral stamina. Jesus stood far •aboye,petie ty wrangling over subjects that were merely tereporalanu of quence, IIT. The Answer (vs. 18-21). 18. Per- ceived their wickedness -Saes knew that the disciples of the Pharisees had come, not as _inquirers after truth, but as spies and accusers: 'Why tempt ye me -"Why make ye trial of rae?"-It. V. The first utterance that Jesus made in response to their ques- tion showed them that He knew that they were not sincere intheir ab - preach to Him. Ye Hypocrites -Jesus directly ateused them of beteg deceit- ful. They had =we use in vain of flattering expressions in addressing Hih. Their disguise had. been too thin to cover from Him the treachery that lay in their hearts. 19. Show me the tribute money -This was an unexpeeted turn of affairs. The tri- bute Money was "the coinof the on: sus," or the coin in which the poll tax was paid. Brought•unto Him a penny -This was the "deriaritts," n Roman sliver coin, in value about fif- teen cents. fn purchasing power it would be equivalent to a dollar or more now. 20.

IV, lenemies silenced (v. 22). 22, They niarvelled-No such reply to their question was thought of, . and when it came to them with the cella seriousness of the Savlour'S Manner., they were utterly silenced. "It was ea answer not enly most truthful, but of marvelousi beauty anci depth.

In tvhat respects did they differ from the Pharisees? What led the ope posers of Jesus to show Hini great res- pect? How did jesus regard their fine speeches? What question did they ask him?

ENTOMBMENT OF ORD POPE Solemn Ceremony at Basilica On Saturday Evening. Witnessed by a Thousand, Spec- ially Invited. Rome, Aug. 23, -The entombment of the late Pope Plus X. took place last evening at sunset. The great Basilica of St. 'Peter's was in semi -darkness, A flickering light came from the per- petually burning tapers about the shrine of the apostles mid the candles In the chapel where the catafalque stood. . Those wile witnessed the ceremony; numbering about one thouciand, came by special invitation, and included the dilpomatic representatives Accredited to the Holy See, the prelates and members of the Roman aristocracy. The procession formed in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, where for hours the body of Pitts X. lay in state. The catafalque was surmount- ed by the triple crown, and the body of the Pope was clad in the Pontifical eobes and surrounded by the emblems of his sacred office. During the course of the day many thousands of persons passed by the bier. This evening the bier was renloV- od and placed on a low platform on, wheels. At the gates of the chapel the archpriest of the Basilica, in violet robes, and surrounaed by the Chap- ter, joined the peocession. First came 'a jewelled cross held aloft, then the cardinals and the high prelates, each carrying a 'candle. In the centre of the procession was tne bier, the cor- tege passing amid the kneeling crowd, while through the vast and silent church was heard the Miserere, sung by the Sistine: Choir. The solemn .cortege marched into the crypt where the oody of Pius X. will have its final resting place. Here the roof is very low, aad the Misesege had a peculiarly' wierd and, melan- choly effect. The tomb of. the- late Pontiff is on the right at the entrance to the subterranean chapel, close to that of several other Popes. At this place several ancient marble tablets were removed to make room for the tomb of Pius, which, while partly within the wall, also projects into the passage. The body 01 1110 Pope lies In a, cy- press wood coffin, on which rests a gold cross, This is encased in zinc, and finally in an oak casket. On the casket is the inscription: "Hera liethe body of Pius X. Born June 2, 1835; died August 20, 1914."

This season, which started out so brilliantly in' the spring, failect to maintain us prodigal promise, with the single exception of winter wheat. Weather conditions aver a large part of the country were distinctly unfav- orable to the development of the corn crop and also to oats and cotton. The losses, like last yeares, were not gen- eral, but confined partly to the same area as the, previous season 'with an enlargement southward, The aggro - gate production of the country is still maintained over a ten-year mean, but, in those ten years some very good an.d several very poor crops were gathered. The wheat crop, missing all prevtous records, and furnishing a surplus far la excess Of any previous season, has kept. the public attention focused on large crops, and the expectancy that trade revival would be hastened by big production. The corn crop falls into less than the average of recent years and PrOlUISOS somewhere around last year's production on an area a million acres less, ana with no violent losses melt as afflicted Kansas last year. The eats crop is generally good northward, but poor in the southern portion* ot the period, belt, where' heat rather than dry wea- ther did great injury. at the filling The hay crop suffered some, and the yield is the second in succes- sion below a generous production, though above the -previous ,season.

It is singular that in. the plenty of our winter wheat, in the excessive amount available for feeding other na- tions, the world's production of wheat has fallen oft In Rus- sia, where a billion bushel crop was gathered last year, the yield has fallen of 150,000,000. In the present ,war region of Eastern Remise, the fertile Danube plains were burned by hot winds, and the yield there is smeller.
