13. It is written -In Isa. 56, 7; Jer.
7, 11. A den of thieves -The busineses
was right enough in itself, but they had
perverted the use of the Lord's house,
and were robbing the people by charging
extortionate prices.

14. He healed them -Jesus had shown
himself Lord of the temple by cleansing
it, and now he manifested his power by
mercifully and miraculously healing the
blind and lame. 15. The chief priests
and scribes...were sore displeased-
Thei displeasure grew out of their hat-
red toward Jesus and was heightened be;
the miracles of healing, by the spon-
taneous praises of the children and by
their adoring him as the Messiah. 16.

The rebuke that Jesus administered
was the more severe because they, as
scribes, had in their blindness failed to
see in the day's events the fulfilment
of prophecy. 17. Into Bethany -The
work of Monday was completed and he
returned to his lodging -place at Bethany.
Questions. -On what day of the week
was the triumphal entry? To what vil-
lage were two disciple, sent? What
were they to bring to Christ ?low
would:. they know they had found the
right animals? What prophecy was
Jesus fulfilling? How did the multi-
tudes honor Christ? How was Jerusa-
lem affected? What question was ask-
ed? What answer was given? Where
did Jesus pass this Sunday night? Why
did. Jesus east the traders •out of the
temple? On what other occasion had
he performed this same act? Who prais-
ed the Lord and who desired to rebuke
him?
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
The King coming. "Behold•, thy King
cometh unto thee" (v. 5). Christ is, 1,
King of human hearts. Jesus began his
triumphal march from the home of
Mary of Bethany, who lovingly anointed
his as Lord. If we would. know the
breadth and length and depth and
height of the love of Christ and Its
power working in us (Eph. 3:16-20), we
must hear him say,.
S
in .
..be
glad
and
rejoice ...the king ...is in the midst of
thee" (Zeph. 3:14-17), and answer back
in loving loyalty, "Thou art my Prophet,
my Priest, any King; thou are Lord of
my love and my life." 2. "King of
Kings" (Rev. 10-10). "Son of David"
(v. 0). "King of Israel" (John 12:13).
Christ referring to his spiritual presence
with his own, said. "Lo, I ani with you
always" (Matt. 28:20) ; referring to his
return to reign on earth he said, "I will
come again" (John 14:3). Ile is eom-
inx, literally, visibly, personally, certain-
ly (Acts 1:11; Matt. 24:44). And those
who are looking for him (Ifeb. 0:28),
waiting for him (1 Cor. 1:7). watching
for him (Luke 12:37), and hastening
his appearance (2 Pet. 3:12), shall be
caught up to meet him (1 Thess. 4:
13-17).
Tice Ring condescending. "The Lord
hath need (v. 3). "Tiny King cometh...
meek" (v. 5). "Brought...the colt, and
.set hien thereon" (v. 7). The meek-
ness of Jesus even in the hour of tri-
umph was the seal of hie own words
(Matt. 11:29). Philip Doddridge dream-
ed he was borne by angels to the courts
of heaven and left there until the Christ
should come to welenr:e him. IIe wait-
ed in awesome trepidations bnt the mo-
ment Jonas appeared he felt as perfeetlY
at ease as if talking, to a little child,
so winsome and gentle and loving was
his greeting.
The King cleansing. "Cast out .all
them that sold and bought in the tens
pie" (v. 12). Is Jesus would not permit
in the outer court of his Father's house
the legitimate buying and sclltiig for the
temple sacrifices. what must he think of
God'siprofessed evorshippen:s who go into
the altar and remove the pulpit and
Bible and put up a curtain and mi:c
with the ungodly and dress in theatre
costume and sing condo songs and have
plays and amuse the' people, an the very
spot where the gospel should be preaeh-
ed? God says, "I hate robbery for burnt
offering" (Isa. 61:8). "'My house' shall
be called the house of prayer" (v. 18)'.
When we make the chureh of God "the
house of prayer." we unite God's people
instead of divide them (John 17:21),
show the' sinner we seek not his money,.
but himself (2 Cor. 12:14). •
The Ring condemning. "Ye have made
it a den of thieves" (v. 13). Fairs, fes-
tivals, concerts, anything which makes
• the Father's house "an house of mer-
ehandise" (John 2:16), makes it a. "den
of thieves" (v. 13). 11 we participate
in, or countenance, or do not rebuke
these things, we, 1, Rob God by bring-

LESSON 1X.-AUG.28, 1910;
Jesus Entering Jerusalem, -Matt.
21; 1-17.
Commentary. -I. The triumphal entry
(vs. 1.11.) 1. When they drew nigh -
Jesus and his disciples had left Bethany
on Sunday morning to go to Jerusalem.
Bethany was about two miles in a
southeasterly direction from Jerusa.lenn
on the eastern slope of the Mount of Ol-
ives. Bethphage-A village not far from
• Bethany toward Jerusalem. Both vil-
lages were in an ecclesiastical sense con-
sidered a part of Jerusalem. Mount of
Olives -The higle ridge east of Jerusalem
across the 'Odeon valley. Two disciples
It is conjectured that the two were
Peter and John, as they were sent on
an errand later (Luke 22: 8.) They were
sent by a shorter path across a ravine.
The regular road passed around. it. 2.
The village over against you -Supposed
to have been Bethphage. Ye shall find
-Here is a miracle of wisdom. This is
cle4:rly seen from a compiirison of the
four accounts given in the gospels. Mark
and Luke make no mention of the moth-
er of the colt. The animal that had
never borne the yoke' was held sacred,
and it was upon the colt that Jesus
rode. ..The ass was •employed as a beast
of burden in times of peace even by
kings. The horse was used by warriors.
3. The Lord hath need of them -This
was to be a sufficient explanation to the
owner of the animals. In Mark 11: 3 we
read, "And straightway he will send him
back hither:' -R. V. Elderaheim sug-
gests that permission was readily grant•
ed, because the news had spread that on
that very day the King would enter the
sacred city, and no request of his would
be denied. 4. Spoken by the prophet -
Zechariah is the prophet and the words
are quoted from his prepl.lecy (0: 9.)
The Jews, familiar with these words, ex-
pected the Messiah to appear, entering
Jerusalem riding upon an ass. 5. Daugh-
ter of Zion (R. V.) -A name applied to
Jerusalem or the Jewish people. Behold
-Attention is called to the great event
of the ages. Thy Ring cometh unto thee
-He came as Ring, first, to the Jewish
nation; but afterward, and really, as
Ring of all nations and peoples. Meek,
and riding upon an ass (R. V.) -1n Zech-
ariah the language is, "He is just, and
having salvation; lowly, and riding,'
etc. He rode upon the beast in general
use among the people. "lie had the teue
kingly spirit,pure, noble, holy; a spirit
not of pride, but of lowliness; not of ex-
ultation, but of daily service and help-
fulness; sanctifying and exalting com-
mon things; not afar off in seclusion,
but near the people; not receiving from
the people, but giving to them, full of
compassion." And upon a colt (Bs V.)
literal fulfilment of the prophecy. He
rode upon the colt. it is suggestedthat
the untrained colt would be more gentle
and tractable with its mother along.
This mode of entering Jerusalem would
represent the meekness and humility of
the Messianie Ring.

manded -Faith and obedience character-

They had no fear of failure. They found

privilege to use their outer garments
for their Master, who was soon to be
proclaimed Ring. 8. Great multitude -

There were three thinnotie to at r act the

people: 1. The app €1
. 2.
The recent raising of Lazarus. 3. The
news of the coming Ring. Spread theit
garments in the way -An Oriental 'm tett
of honor at the reception of kings on
their entrance into cities. -Lange. It
was customary ill royal processions to
spread decorative cloth or carpet upon
the ground, that the feet of royalty
might not be defiled. or that dust might
not arise. -Morison. Cut down bran:hes
While some were spreading their gar-
ments in the way, others were .:uttipg
brandies from trees and spreading therm
before Jesus to do Him homage. They
carried palm brandies (John 12. 13),
which were tokens of victory.
9. Hosanna -An exclamation of ador-
ation which means, "Save, we pray"
(Psa. 118. 25) ; a prayer for the preser-
vation of the Ring. To the son of David
-It was an accepted title of the Mes-
siah. In the highest -The highest adora-
tion of created intelligences on earth
• and in heaven is due to Jesus. The Mee
siahship of Jesus was proclaimed in pos-
itive terms. 10. All the city was moved
-In the Greek a strong word is used
meaning "convulsed," ar "violently shak-
en." Jerusalem was crowded with peo-
ple, it being estimated that two million
strangers were •there. Some rejoiced,
while others were displeased. Who is
this -Evert those who were the most
familiar with Jesus could scarcely un-
derstand this proclamation of his King-
ship, and those who knew little of Him
would very 'naturally ask the question.
11, Multitude s lid-Prohnbly that part
of the people who had come from Gali-
lee, The prophet., Jesus, from Nazareth'
of Galilee (lt. V.) -The answer was
straightforward and definite. They were
glad to announce that he who lied been
declared the Messiah • was "the Prophet
of Galilee."
II. 'Cleansing the temple (vs. '12) 13).
12. Int() the temple -This was the neat
clay, Monday. See Mark xi., 11.15. Jesus
and his disciples went back to Bethany
ing5 (1 Cor, 16:2). 2. Rob believers of
the blessing which always comes from
obeying the command, "1Freely ye have
received, freely give" (Matt, 10:8) ; and
tempt them to self -gratification under
the delusion that they are generous.
The Ring eonimending. "The children
crying, ...Hosanna...:Jesus aaith,-..Out
of the mouth of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise" (vs. 15, 16).
Jesus blessed, little children (Matt. 19:
13), He blade childlikeness a condition
of entrance into the kingdom (Matt.
18:3). Praise is aceptable to God.
"Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me"
(Pea. 50:23).--•A, C. M.
.ACK O[ PURE BLOOD
The Cause cf Most Illness -The
Cure, Enrich the RNA Supply.
Any illness caused by lack of blood
will be benefited and cured by a course
of treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. These Pills increase the red mat-
ter in the blood'rand enable it to earry
to every organ and tissue an increased
supply of oxygen, the great supporter
of all organic life. This has been proved
by cures in thousands of cases not only
in Canada, but in all parts of the world.
More people to -day owe health and hap-
piness to Dr. Williams'• Pink Pills than
to any other medicine. One of these is
Mr. James Starr, of Galahad, Alta., who
says: "A few years ago ,1 became i11 and
very weak. Some days I would have a
hot, dry fever and on others would be
bathed in a cold sweat. I grew weaker
and weaker until I could. do no kind of
work and was finally confined to my
bed. I tried several doctors, who cost
me considerable money, but did me no
good, as I was still getting weaker and
weaker. I asked the last doctor who at-
tended me to tell me frankly if he could
cure me, and he told me my case was
so complicated that he did not think he
could help me. I told him I had heard
a great deal about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and asked if he thought they
would help me. His reply was; `Well,
they won't do you any harm, and they
may help you.' I sent fora half dozen
boxes at once and began taking them.
After taking threeboxes there was no
doubt they were helping me, and I con-
tinued using them for some time longer.
With the result that I am now as strong
and hearty and can do as good a day's
work as any man in my neighborhood."
These Pills are sold by all medicine
elealers or may be had by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.

Has anyone heard of Kendersley? 1
know I had not until a breath of the
western land fever eauglit nie about a
month ago, and I looked it up on a.
homestead map from Ottawa. Renders -
ley is at the far western, .end of. the steel
on the new Canadian Northern line from
Sasketoon to Calgary, and. since the fall
of 1009 one of the centres of the home-
stead rush,
How do you get there? From Sas-
katoon as far west as'Rosetown, the
Cenadiar; Northern runs a train once
a. week. This spring every train, was
paekecl--the usual motley crowd -four
or five small youngsters packed in one
seat; handbags, wraps, lunch and so on
in another; a few tired -looking settlers'
wives -and a large majority of bache-
lors after land,
At Rosetown, where the train stops for
the night, the hotel accommodation is
always short. All the restaurants have
tiers of bunks where you can try to get
to sleep (with emphasis ots the try), and
sometimes you may even get a shake-
down on the floor. The night I came
through, and it waa no exception, prac-
tically all this space wag gone before the
train came inand we were fortunate to
be allowed 'Co sit up all night in the
passenger coaches, which were left -stand-
ing on the track. One could not help
pitying the children who had to go
through this, even though they did keep
the car awake all night.
Next morning a construction train -
all freight except two passenger coaches
-was scheduled to leave for Kendersley.
iThe Ca: adian Northern has not yet
taken over this part of the line). "The
Kendersley Express" runs when and how
it feels like it -taking, as a rule, any-
where from ten to fifteen hours to melee
the trip of 55 miles. It rocks along over
the sleepers like a prairie schooner, and
when it stops -or starts -the jolt al-
most breaks the windows. When I came
out, it was supposed to leave Rosetown
at 7 a. m. -it left at 10. But once it dict
get started it kept going fairly steadily,
only taking a siding once for an hour to
let a gravel train go past, and stopping
again for a similar length of time at the
gravel pit for lunch, besides long stops
at water -tanks and stations in between.
