Lesson I. Jesus Enters Jerusalem in
Triumph. Golden Text:
Malt, 21. 9.
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note. -The Test of the Revised Ver-
sion is used as a basis fur these Word
Studies.
Jesus at. Bethany, -The narrative of
Matthew al this point to the story of
the closing events of the life of Jesus
does not, follow the exact chronological
order. For this we must turn to the
narrative of John. John alone records
in the correct place tale appointing of
Jesus by Mary at Bethany. We are to
think of Jesus as arriving at Bethany
from Jericho of the wining preceding
the Sutrhalh, six day's before the pass-
over, here be spent the Sabbath In the
circle of his idents continuing kis jour-
ney to Jerusolen and making his lri-
unlphol entry Into the cllpital city on the
day following the Sabbath. Luke in his
nerrotl'e Inserts the parable of the
Pounds immediately after his account
of the heeling of the blind man at Jer-
icho; end it is Luke again who alone
mentions the incident of Christ's weep -
Mg over Jerusalem.
Verse I. 'They -That is, Jrslls and his
disciples together with a larger com-
pany with w'110111 they journeyed.
Nigh unto Jerusalem -From Bethany
where the Sabbath had been ,Spent,
Unto Ilcillplage-Mark here reads
"unto Bethphoge and Bethany- at the
Mount of Olives" omitting mention 011
the stay at Bethany. fade rends "nigh
to Bcthplinge and Bethany at the Moult
called 111e Mount of Olives." Bethany
was about two miles south-east of
Jerusalem. The levalinn of Belhpbage
Is not known, but It is supposed to have
been west of Bethany and between that
place and Jerusalem.
2. The village -Thal is, Belhphage.
An ass tied, and a colt with her -
Meek and Luke mention only the colt
on which Jesus afterward rode info
Jerusalem. The ass Is a very common
beast - of burden among the rich and
poor in the Orient even to-dey. It is
also used for riding very extensively.
3. The Lord hath need of them -Tho
Inst that, this simple explanation would
be sufficient to satisfy the owner of the
animal seems to bndleale that he was
a friend, if not a secret di,selple of
Jesus, 01 such, doubtless, there were
many in Jerusalem and vicinity at this
time. Such' also who Nicndcmus.
4, That it might be fulfilled which wee
epol(en through the prophet -Matthew
who Is writing for a Jewish alrcle tel
weeders, is very careful to point out ib
each case the fulfillment of Messianic
prophecy in any net or word of Jesus
where smelt fulfillment is involved. He
Seems bent on proving to the Jews,
who looked for the coming of a Mee
slosh and were familiar with the pro.
plieoles r'elathng 10 his corning, ihat
Jesus of Nazareth was indeed that Nies•
blah, the promised Savlous and living of
Oho Jews. '
5, The prephee. 'quoted in Ode verso
le token from Zech. O. 0, which reads
"Rajelde greatly, q daughter of Zlen;
ithy king 0OmeB1 tanto thee.; he is just,
and having salvation ; 10wIy, end rid -
Ing upon en Ass, even upon a colt the
too of An ass." •
1u Their gArtneie0-the 10080, flowing
onto' garmtllls worn by men and
women.
Ile sat thereon -On the cult. The
wording of Mark is very explicit : ".And
they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast
on hint their garments: and Ile sat upon
hint." The wording of Matthew's narra-
tive at this point is slightly ambiguous.
We must remember that the colt on
which Jesus rode was one on which be-
fore no ratan had eve' ridden. In other
words, It had not yet been broken and,
though possibly full grown, was still
permitted to be with its mother. Hence
it 1(118 natural, if not ahsalulely essen-
tial that the mother of the colt be
brought also, since in commonly with its
mother doubtless the animal w110 more
gentle and more easily controlled than
would otherwise have been the case.
8. Spread theme in the way -A deuon-
stral n of popular enulusinsm and de-
votion equal to that of the triump1ha1
entry of n Roman cohquero' into the
imperial clay. Only the official recogni-
tion of the ecclesiastical authorities at
Jerusalem. which were at the sane time
the municipal authorities, was lacking.
As king Jesus enters the capital ells••
and as king he most 11e rejected by the
highest aulhorilfes of the Jewish nation.

National Deposits Said to be \forth
Hundreds of Alillions.
This 10 a pretty old world and most
of it has been travelled over by ]Hunan
beings, bill new discoveries are con-
stantly being made. Recently a discov-
ery of this kind was made in Mexico.
Under the blazing sun of the desert,
say's a correspondent, surrounded by
barren sand dunes, lie vast lakes of cry -
stets of carbonate of soda, to nil appear-
ances great masses Of s110W and Ice,
11ut in reality a substance from which
will be made millions of tons of soap
and millions of glass panes.
Al only one place in the world is na-
tural soda found under conditions which
admit of industrial development, and
at that pine5 it must be shipped several
hunched miles by rail and many loll
of water must be evaporated by coal
to obtain a ton of the product.
The 'Mexican lakes are within three
Ihousend yards of the sea and the fierce
sun and heat of the desert attend to the
evaporation. The world's consumption
1s very large, amounting to several hun-
dred thousand tons annually, and at
present nearly all of it is manufactured
from common salt with the use of ex-
pensive machinery. At Adair Bay,
w11011 the ienlperattn'e is right, iltewate'
of the lake crystallizes into pure carbon-
ate of soda, nature doing what men re-
quires expensive machinery and vast
amounts of coal to do,
The Mexican Go'e'tuel1 declines to
disl'•s0 of these ]ekes to any one, Presi-
dent Dine belfeveblg that they may be-
come sources of enormous income to the
