And it came to pass, Jesus arriv- ed in Bethany, on the .eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, probably in the evening of Friday, 'March 31, and made His headquarters in the hospi- table home of Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus, who he had raised from the dead. There, in the house of Simon the Leper, on Satur- day, April 1, a feast was given Him, signalized by the beautiful act of Mary in anointing Jesus with the costly ointment - the act which aroused the cupidity of Judas and probably led him to betray his Lord. The .triumphal entry took place the following day, on our Sunday, April 2. When he drew nigh unto Beth phage and Bethany. The first was a small village near Bethany and to- ward Jerusalem. At the mount that is called Olivet. Olivet is a hill of. three peaks (some call it four), the hill of the Ascension being 2,643 feet above the sea, or 208 feet higher than the temple plateau. He sent two of the disciples. It is supposed, from Mark's minute account, that Peter was one of these; the other was pro-) bably John, who was much with Pet-* er. Saying, Go your way into 'the vil- lage over against you. The two dis- ciples would' cross the gorge by foot- path, while' the main company kept the regular road. In which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied. They were to find an ass tied, and her colt beside her, the ass being a symbol of peace as the horse was a symbol of war. Whereon no man ever yet sat. This was because the colt was to be put to .a royal, and more, a sacred, use; it marked the uniqueness of Je- sus, Loose him, and bring him. They were to lead the colt to meet Jesus as he walked the longer way to the juncture of the attain road and the Bethphage by-path. And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. So too with the man bearing a pitcher of water in Luke 22:10. • 1l is >B , a s Thursday, May 14th, 1931, 1111111111B111101111111111111111t11311111i21116111.111111111E1111111111111111111111CIA11111 HE G Winghanfs Bargain Festival This ALS Thursday to Saturday Quantities in some instances are limited so Please Shop Early.

And they that were sent went away and found even as he had said unto ) them. The exact correspondence of the facts, as they found them, with what Christ had foretold, was well adapted to confirm their faith,. and that of all who became aware of it." And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? For' "the owners," Mark has "certain of them that stood there," the owners prob- ably being among them. And they said, The Lord hath need of hint. So it is with us; infinitely great as Christ is, and insignificant as we are, He has need of us to aid Him in His vast undertakings, and sends word to us, to come to His assistance. c r And they brought him to Jesus. It is a happy day when our possessions are brought to Jesus; when they are His, they are then- for the first time truly ours. And they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Je- sus thereon. The mother ass was doubtless alongside, that the colt, hitherto not ridden, might not take fright, btu go steadily_ And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. The larger portion, --those, perhaps, who escort- ed Hint from: Bethany -unwrapped their loose cloaks from their ,shoul- ders, and stretched . them along the rough path, to form a momentary carpet as He approached.

Saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the .name of the Lord. That is, " as representing the per- son, wearing the character, and sha`r ing the authority, of Jehovah." Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. This song is so near the close of the Saviour's life echoes the angel's hymn' at His birth, Luke 2:14. And some of the .Pharisees from the multitude. The cries of the re- joicing multitude were hailing Jesus as the Messiah, which horrified the Pharisees. Said unto Him, Teacher, rebuke Thy disciples. They took it for granted that Jesus had not caught the import of these cries, and that he would hush ahem as soon as he received their tendency, which seem. - ed so impious , to the Pharisees, for the cries of His disciples were only proclaiming the truth. And he answered and said. Not willing to hasten His death, Jesus had suppressed, up to this time, the recognition of His Messiahship, be- ing content if His closest disciples had a glimpse of the stupendous fact. Now, however, with the culmination so near at hand, Jesus chose that His real nature should be made manifest to all hien. I tell you that, if these shall hold their tongues, the stones will cry out. This was a : proverbial expression, describing a truth that must be uttered. Compare Heb. 2:11. THE KING AND .HIS CITY. And when He drew nigh, he saw the city. There, through the clear atmosphere, rising out of the deep, umbrageous valleys which surround- ed it, the city of ten thousand mem- ories stood clear before . Him. Saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! The, "things which belong tanto peace are the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, the acceptance of Jesus as Saviour iti true repentance and sincere faith, , and the life of obedience to Christ's will which follows. But now they are bid from thine eyes. And he entered- into K the temple. The next day, Monday, He paid the visit to the temple which is here des- cribed, And began to cast out thein that sold, This was the second cleansing .of the temple, the first hav- ing taken place at the beginning of Christ's ministry, three years before; see John 2 13-17. Saying unto them, It is written. As in the temptation at the opening of His ministry, so throughout the closing events of His life, our Lord made clear His reverence for the Scriptures. And my house shall be a house of prayer. The quotation is from Ise. 56:7. But ye have made it a den of robbers. Such a robbers' cave as was to be found in many places along the Jericho road. And He was teaching daily in the temple. If there was any difference in the plan of these closing days of our blessed Lord's life, it was that a somewhat longer time was spent in the temple. But . the chief priests. These were former high priests and the heads of twenty-four courses of priests that took turns serving in the temple. But the chief priestsETAO temple. And the scribes.

DISPUTE A settlement was made in the case of Keith' vs. Brown, heard at the sit- tings of the supreme court in Walk- erton ' last week, James H, Brown, of Teeswater, is to pay Duncan Keith also of Teeswater, $2,500, The am- ount sued for was $4,100. The settle- ment was reached on Wednesday af- ternoon upon suggestions Mr. Justice Jeffrey made during the hearing of evidence, which took place on Tiles- day•n aftet on and Wednesday morn- ing. Theexamination and cross-ex- amination of Keith and his wife, al- so the manager of the Batik of Mont- real, had been taken when it became apparent that clients were arranging a •settlement. Keith sued Brown to reeover $4100, the issue being caused through the dissolution of partnership in the King cardine 'Motors, which existed be- tween he two. Keith claimed that when he concluded business relations with i3towti, his share its the business was fixed at -$4,100, for which he took as security stock in the Tee# water Foundry Co.
