ANALYSIS
:I. THE QUESTION OF THE PHARISEES,
vs. 15-22.
II. THE QUESTION OF THE LAWYER,
ve. 34-40.
INTRODUCTION—With 'chap. 21 we
enter upon a new division ofthe 'gos-
peL. This continues to the end of
chap. 25, and the entire section •deals
with the doctrine of the sedond return
of Christ to be the judge' and ruler of
the world. In :hap. -21 he directs his
message to the nation as a whble,
whereas in chs ,.22 b.,, is brought into
close relations with the different reli-
ons parties. We notice haw ll the
m't
powers of the country unite to -bring
about the death of Jesus. In This pre-
set passage, 15-40, we have three dis-
tinct questions put to Jesus, all with
the aim of putting him in a false
light.
I. THE QUESTION OF "THE PHARISEES,
vs. 15-22.
V. 15. In their previous attacks the
Pharisees haJ tried to put Jesus into
a wrong relatiei. with the religious
authorities, Matt. 12: 10. But now
they change 'their tactics, and try to
snake him utter some 'sentiment which
will bring clown upon him the opposi-
tion of the civil authorities. They know
that they'canne'c get the support of
Rome unless they prove that Jesus is
a political agitator.,
V. 16. But since the Pharisees do
not wish to show their hand openly,
they employ some of their disciples
who have no official' standing, and
they obtain the -support of the Herod-
ians also, thus forming a most un-
natural union- The Pharisees were the
religious leaders ofthe people, and
were not in favor of Romar control.
But the Herodians, as their neme sug-
gests, were defenders of the house of
Herod, and therefore of the Roman
rulers. There was thus direct opp...,i-
tion between these two parties, but
now under the common desire to bring
about the ruin of Jesus they join in
an unholy alliance.
The manner of approach has all the
outward appearanc of respect. They
t address Jesus as a leading teacher,
,and they declare,t:,at he is truthful
and impartial, Sul in c it hearts they
Are all the time plotting his ruin. It
is a picture of hypocrisy indeed.
V. 17. The question was a very liv-
ing one. The Pharisees did not like
the idea of their nation paying this
tax to Rome. It was the poll tax,
'levied on all persops, and was collect-.
ed by the imperial authorities, So
much -was this proof of dependence
disliked that there was a party called.
the Zealots, who advocated the upris-
ing 'of
prising'of the people in order to cast off
the yoke of Rome. The question was
a very insidious one. If Jesus said
that it was right to pay the tax, then
be would alienate many of the Gall -
leans who were Zealots at heart; but
if he said that it was not lawful to
pay, then he would bring down upon
his shoulders the attack of the Roman
authorities.
V. 18. Jesus sees through their plot,
and determines to defeat it. le' asks
for a penny. This was the standard
Roman coin.
V. 19. The Pharisees, because of
their natural feeling, would not likely
have any such coins in their posses-
sion,.but one of these pennies is ob-
tained and given to Jesus.
V. 20. The image on it would be
that of the ruling Emperor, Tiberius.
V. 21. The rule of the Rabbis had
been that "Wherever the money of any
king is current there the inhabitants
acknowledge that king for their law."
If, therefore, the Jewish public used
the Roman coinage they should accept
certain responsibilities as the result or
that. They must render to Caesar
what is Caesar's. But Jesus puts the
religious duty'for-ward as well. Life
and its blessings are the gift' of God -
This verse lays down a most im-
portant principle, that religion is inde-
pendent of any definite form if civil
rule. The church and the state are.
not necessarily to be united. These
words of Jesus were much discussed
in the succeeding controversial over
the relation of the gospel to the em-
pire.
II. THE QUESTION OF THE LAWYER,
vs. 84-40.
V. 34. The Phariseeb, seeing that
their foes, the . Saducees, had sustain-
ed a defeat, determined to, renew their
attack, but they now take up a differ-
ent line a
iffer-entlinegf approach.
V, 35. The lawyers were interpret-
ers of the written law, and represent-
ed the more highly-educated'r:'asses,
V, 30. The schools o the Rabbis .lis
cussed frequently the comparative
merits of the different laws; and it
suggested that here an effort is made'
to entangle Jesus in the religiptls adis-
putes of these Jewish leaders,
V. 97. But he refuses to be dtrawn
into the controversy and reveals the.
magnificent sweep of his vision. He
carries up their thoughts into the
highest regions of the soul, He re-
minds them of the :fundamental fact
that love is the only principle of life,
This includes love `.for God as aur'
Maker and Protector, We must sub-
mit ourselves; and all we have to him.
V. 39. But'thie love must Aso" be
reflected in our relations with ous
companions.' Jesus asserts that these
two laws include the entire teaching
of the Old 'Testament. In Deus. ,0:
4-9 and Lev. 19: 18 we have these de-
finite statements, and now Jesus unites
them as the one universal law of con-
duct.
Greatest Plague of
Locusts in History
Sweeps Over Africa
London. — One of the'•greatest
plagues of locusts recorded in history
was •sweeping the coast of North.Afri
ca recently from Morocco on the At-
lantic Ocean to Irak on the Persian
Gulf,
i4tore than ten countries have suf-
fered damage already amounting to
tens of millions of dollars and recall-
ing the Biblical plague mentioned in
Exodus• "And the locusts went up
over all the land of Egypt.. '. , They
covered the face of the wiiole,earth,.
so that the land was darkened; and
they did eat every herb of the land
and all the fruit .... and there re-
mained not any green thing."
Great swarms of locusts have dark
e' -ed the sky in various sections of
Africa and the near East, and swarms
which sometimes are 12 miles 'long
have made a deafening noise in flight
as incalculable millions of voracious
insects moved over or alighted in
Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt,
Sudan, Palestine, Transjordania, Ar
abia and Syria.
Much damage has been clone as far
south as Kenya Colony and -Tongan-
yieka, wh re torrential rains 'halted
the insect invasion.
Swarms 'have advanced from coun-
try •to country, sometimes malting
flights of several hundred miles with-
out alighting.

Monkey Hunt in
Church by Clergy
London.—Lul., a female African
monkey, made a dash for liberty re-
cently when she slipped .out of her
cage in "Noah's Ark," a shop' in Wat-
erloo roads London, and scampered
into the churchyard opposite followed
by her owner.
Round andround.she ran and the
chase was keen.
Just • by the church door a heavy
handfell on her, but, unfortunately,
the owner of the heavy hand also Yell
against the church door and'Lulu was
once more at liberty.
Inside the church were four people
—three clergymen.
Lulu hesitatingly crept down the
aisle, bet soon all these ,clergymen
were inhot pursuit.
The monkey rushed up and down
the aisle and began to leap over the
pews until she was cornered and se-
cured by the clergymen, who promptly
handed her back to her owner.
ANGER
Anger 3s the most impotent passion
that accompaniesthe mind of man;
it effects nothing it goes about, and
hurts the man who is possessed by it,
more than any other against whom it
is directed. It exposes him to laugh-
ter and contempt, withoutany return
in satisfaction and content, as most
of the other passions do; it is a bar-
ren and unfruitful vice, and only tor-
ments him who nourishes it. It is an
affected madness compounded of pride
and folly, and an intention to do com-
monly more mischief than that it can.
bringto pass; and without doubt, of
all passions which naturally disturb
the mind of man, it is most in our
power to extinguish, at least, to sup-
press and •correct—Clar'endon,

tual lire fighting. In this respect it
is the highest figure on: record for
any one season in the Dominion.
The greater part of this expenditure
was incurred in Western Canada. The
lack of precipitation previously men-
tioned caused a recession of water
levels in lakes rivers, streams and
muskegs, and this effect combined
with the high winds which 'prevailed
for long periods, made control meas-

in many cases months to finally ex-

During the year 1929, 6,685 fires
were reported in Canada. With the
exception of 1922, this is the largest
number of fires for any year on rec-
ord. The area burned over was 6,029,-
749 acres, of which approximately two-
thirds was non -forested. The total
gross damage and loss is estimated at
$6,202,495. Considering the extreme

for the indicated shift in population.
"More modern farmhouses and de-
livery of goods by rural free delivery
have caused tillers of the soil to stay
on the old home place rather than go
to the near -by village, and thus have
caused the closing of many general
stores in the small towns."
"It seems a pity," to the Philadel-
pilo Inquirer, "that these hamlets
have to go, because they were one of
the things characteristic of the na-
tion," but the Portland Oregonian, re-

Liquor Air Fleet
Soon Ceases Trips
Over Detroit River
Detroit, Mich:—The rum -running
bueiness across the Detroit River
grew spectacular and dating by tak-
ing to the air recently. A half-dozen
airplanes were pat into service be-
tween Canadian export depots and
undetermined destinations this side
of the border at about the time word
reahed ,bene that the Ontario liquor
control board was warning exporters
to move 'limier stocks that were accu-
mulating illegally do Canadian docks.
But just as the traffic gained consid-
erable proportions the aerial offensive
is believed to have collapsed.
Duncan B. McColl, president of the
Border Aero Club, sal 1 the planes in
the traffic were all of American regis-
try. Whither they had flown after
leaving Canada, officials oil neither
side of the river were able to state.
"They may have flownf a consider-
able distance into the interior," de
dared Col. Henry Plckert, United
States Collector of Customs, "but
whatever their destination "I do not
take this newest development serious-
ly.
"In the first place the border run-
ning by river craft has already proven
so expensive that "bootleggers on the
Detroit side are gradually being forced
out of business. To transport booze
by airplane runs the cost still higher,
in fact so high that the ordinary
thirsty individual cannot afford to buy
it" •
Colonel Pickert declared the great-
est .interest at .this time centers on
the first of June, "when it is expected
that the Canadian law will go into
effect, prohibiting entirely the exporta-
tion of liquor to the United States.
The bill designed to stop this traffic
has passed the 'second reading at Ot-
tawa, and comes _up'for the final read-
ing the latter part of May.

The Slump' in Silver
Hong Kong Press: Only once dur-
ing the last slaty years has there been
a boom in silver, and that•was during
and just after the Great War. The
belligerent Powers were Pored to re-
sort to silver coinage for the time be-
ing, but since then the slump has been
steady and continuous, nor is there
any indication of a revival. Bullion
experts, in fact, are of opinion that
before long silver will cease to be re-
garded as a precious metal. Persia
is the latest convert to a gold "cur-
rency, and the import of silver into
that country is now prohibited. Econ-
omists have noted long ago that the
tendency of silver is to flow from
West to East—In the opposite direc-
tion to the march of civilization. The
disturbing fact now being revealed is
that Eastern nations are a)so losing
faith in the white metal, Of the great
