THE TRIUM;,PHANT :ENTRY In His triumphant entry into Jeri Salem, Jesus made perfectly plain His claim to be the Messiah and Xing of the Jews. Can there be any question as to how such a Icing will be receiv- ed?- There is no doubt about the re- ception by the multitude, While the disciples might have been deceived by this, Jesus Himself was .Slily aware Trow little could , be built cm it. Through all the eenthiesiasni, IIe saw the scowling .hate of the priests, and scribes, and heard the reutterings of;i the Sanhedrin. He knew only too well that the throne to which IIe was. now hailed was the •Cross. He uhdem-- stood that His warfare' was not with the legions of Rome, hut with princip- alities and powers a thousand fold stronger, with the demons of hatred and jealousy, worldliness, carnality, and sell shuess. To -day, we should hail' Sesus as our Icing. While "angels prostrate fall",: we should "hying forth the royal diadem and, crown Him Lord of all." Let us all open the gates to our souls to receive Him and en throne .Him there to reign forayer. If Clod could turn the cross to victory, there is no disaster He could not turn, to spiritual gain if we believed in Htm,' "Ride on! ride on in majesty! in lowly pomp ride on to die, Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, 0 God, Thy power, and reign."
