As King—Matthew 21: 1.11. Golden
Text—Hosanna to the son of David;
Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord; Hosanna in the
highest,—Matthew 21: 9.
in this incident, First, there is the
distinct cl,.im to Lordship on the part
of Jeans. He is coneeioks of being the
son of David, the fulfilment of the pro-
phecies of Israel. The destinies of all
lives rest with him. He does not re-
fuse the triumph, Secondly, this tri-
umph is
ri-umphis quite aniike that rf any earth-
ly ruler. There i. no gorgeous display,
no military parade. The triumph of
Jesus consists in peace, humility and
holiness, the conquering power of love.
It is as a peaceful ruler that Jesus
enters the capital of his nation.

11. THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY, vs. 0-11.
INTRODUCTION—The last journey of
Jesus is not described in any .detail,
but we have enough to recognize the
laces through which he passed. It
as the inner struggle in his mind that
is of chief interest to these writers of
Our gospels, and we are told of the
Severe strain and dark forebodings
,:which he had to face. He knew that
die was marching towards death. Ail
the more .woilerful, therefore, is the
courage with which he thinks x.others
and cares for every little detail in the
duty he has to perform.
i• M &K"tNG PREPARATION, vs. 1-5.
V. 1. During the last week, when the!
'city would be c :.,wded with such a
multitude of pilgrims, it was neces-
sary to arrange for a place in which
to stay, and Jesus chose as nis head-
quarters the home of Lazarus. It lay
over th.. Mount of Olives to the east,
and each morning Jesus came into the
city. While in that house he was
among friends whom he loved,
V. 2. It was a strange request , to
snake, and tho disciples must have been
greatly surprised. They could , not
imagine what it all mean... It gave no
hint of the pomp and circumstance
with which:, in their minds they had
associated the arrival of their Lord.
Perhaps the disciples had hesitated
in undertaking this strange enterprise,
land may have asked Jesus what they
.were to tell the owner of the ass. It
'did seem rather unusual to ] ,.y hold
of property not belonging to them.
Some have suggested that the owner
of the beast was a disciple of Jesus.
land that there was an understanding
'on the matter. However, there is an-
other way to regard :t. The kings of
the east never hesitated to take what
over they wished, and many a valu-
able possession was seized from reluc-
tant subjects. Jesus is also a king.
land his royal const ousness shines
through this incident. But Jesus did
net exercise his royal rights as others
:did. He demanded very few outward
;things. Once he destroyed herd of
swine, and here he asks for an ass, so
'different from the callous claims of
the lords of the world. Yet Jesus was
Lord of all.
V. 4. This was an application
xnade by the lata church. After the
Resurrection the disciples trial to find
a.. the Old Tes`anient prediction of the
different events in the life of Jesus.
:and it was natural that the passage in
Zechariah should be thus pointed out
as a prefiguring of this incident. Mat-
thew is especially fond of calling at-
te-.tion to these proo passages, for
Ile was writing for Jewish Christians,
who were often attacked by those Jew-
ish brethren for setting forth a new
;Heresy, and it was, therefore. import-
ant to show that Jesus was he fulfil-
ment of the Old Testament.
Nor is it cif less consequence for us
to see how the religion of the New
Testament is the natural sequel of the
•prophecies and re•r'la.ion of Israel.
In the Old Testament we find the pre-
: ration for the manifestation of the
truth of Christ.
II. THE TRIUMPPIAL ENTRY, vs. 6-11.
V. 6. The disciples bad long since
learned that there wer many things
aout their Master which they could not
understand, and they were coaling to
see that simple obedience was their.
thief duty.
V. 7. They had some presentiment
that something important wa', about
to happen. They put their :clothes
upon th ass and colt in order to deck
then out in special festive attire, and
they place Jesus on the ass, see 2
Work for A:lt
Montreal Le Monde Ouvrier (Ind.) :
The division of work will be the salva-
tion of the people; the redistribution
of tasks between a greater number of
hands will increase the markets for
our products, by increasing tate num-
ber of people who have the means to
afford them. This is why the work-
men's unions are doing all they can to
have the five-day week, and the eight-
hour day adopted. Will they suc-
ceed? It is our conviction that un-
employment will only be reduced in
direct proportion to their success.
Give work to all the members of the
working class and there will never be
any question of establishing unem-
ployment assurance; with no one out
of work, there will be no need for as-
sistance,

Tenacity For Office Puzzled
His Friends
BY AN OLD FRIEND
Lord Balfour alone, of the states-
men of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries — except Palmerston 'and
Salisbury—basked in .a splendid sun-
set at the close of his life and career.
Yet that career had seemed definite-
ly closed hi defeat and even, humilis
ation in 1911 when, chiefly through
the persistent worrying of Lord War-
grave and the tariff Reformers, he was
driven to resign the Conservatice
leadership.
Then came the war, and gave Lord
Balfour front 1915 onwards an Julien
summer of renewed. power. But, glori-
ous as the setting rays of his life
were, it must be remembered that
they were not those of his noontide,.
Old age seemed to develop rather
than lessen his eharm. And there
came with it a tenacity for olliee
which puzzled both his critics and his
iends,
the personal attraction.' The wide
range of powers and interests cover-
ed multiplies the external effective-
ness at the combination.
So it was for a time with Lord
Balfour and • Joseph Chamberlain.
And then they made mistakes, or the
luck of the political dice turned
against them. The Khaki Election
of 1900 was an error, and Balfour suc-
ceeded to this bad heritage as Premier
in 1902—a Premiership which' left us

tion has for 'a quaiter of a century

tune.
The Wheat Pool
Montreal Patrit Owl.): The initial
advances on their .crop to the fanners
alone justify the existence of the
Wheat, Pool. One can imagine what
would have been the critical Midi -
tion of the Prairie fennel's at the ned
tion of the Prairie farmers at the end
of their bad harvest year .of 1929 if
they had not been able to rely on the
consolidated strengths of their associa-
tion. Thanks .to the Pool, they found
the necessary funds to pass the win-
ter and to prepare for a new season
of production. They have not been
made to suffer because their crop was
not sold, Even In spite of the reduc-
tion in market prices of commodities
since the fall, there can be no doubt
that the Pool has had a stabilizing In-
fluence on the market. It is in fact
beyond question • that the price of
grain would have descended to a much
lower level if the farmers, left to their
own individual resources, lead been
compelled to sell in an unfavorable
market.
American Imperialism
Quebec Iilvenement (Cons.): A re-
cent address by President Hoover to
the .daughters of the Revolution, de-
livered on the 14th April, makes very
clear the determination of the United
States to become the most powerful
country in the world. He celebrated
the recent victories of his country in
the international sphere. For ex-
ample, instead of talking of the naval
parity , of the British . and American
fleets, he declared that, for the first
time in history, the Republic of the
nited States possessed a fleet at least
the equal of the strongest in the
world. While' putting his. faith in the
Briand-Kellogg pact as a satisfactory
method of preventing armed conflict,
he stated with emphasis that there is
one kind of peace that ,no proud and
free people could ever subscribe to.
This Caesarism has been enthusiasti-
cally greeted in the American capital,
as not so lii'ng ago the imperialistic
vows formulated by Mussolini were at
Rome.

Canada's Waterpower
Sherbrooke Tribune (Lib.) : Canada
has altogether twenty million horse-
power at the lowest water (for the
whole year round), whilst for six
months in the year it has at least
thirty-three millions. Artificial reser-
voirs regulating the flow would raise
this capacity to forty-three millions.
Of this total, no more than five and
one-half millions, or 124; per cent.,
have been harnessed. To the extent
of one-half, the task of harnessing
this power has been undertaken in the
last ten years; although for a long
time the small watercourses of On-
tario, Quebec and the Maritime Pro-
vinces have furnished the motive
force for grain mills, and textile
plants, such as were indispensable to
the existeuce of the pioneers. In com-
parison with other countries, Canada

tions. It is also in the second rank

Mr. Chamberlain
Lord Balfour should, of course, have
taken the first opportunity for an
early dissolution. Unfortunately he
decided to hold on against the flow-
ing tide. Mr. Chamberlain determin-
ed to turn that tide back by the Tariff
Reform appeal. Hence followed woe
on woe to the Tories—a fiscal quarrel
inside the party and a crushing de-,
feat at the polis in 1906. The major
part of the blame for all this cannot
be laid on Lord Balfour's shoulders.
It is true that he had a kind of in-
curious disregard, part intellectual,
part aristocratic, for the movements
of popular opinion. On the main
point he was right. He preserved
the thiug which really mattered—the
unity of the Conservative Party` re-
garded as a great national instru-
ment. But after the internal, strug-
gle of 1908-1906 came defeat, defeat,
and defeat at the polls; until the
thrice -vanquished• leader vanished.
None could excel Lord Balfour in
personal charm—even when dealing
with chance -met individuals. Natur-
ally. he was surrounded by an ador-
Ing„ coterie of friends not •always to
his practical profit. But his political
friendships were colder.
At the end his figure grew greater
if only as the reflections of the past
threw a longer shadow. He had seen
the House of Cecil's second predomin-
ante since the time of Elizabeth ap-
pear and vanish. He had seen the
ation and fall of the German Ent -
His First Career
For instance, his administration of
the Admiralty in the first Coalition
of 1915 contributed to the discontent
which led to Lord Oxford's fall in
1916. Yet he took the bait of the
Foreign Office offered him by the • as-
tuteness of Mr, Lloyd George, and
joined the latter's Administration at
an hour's notice.
Lord Balfour's first career—not the
afterglow—consisted of three phases,
each to some extent overlapping the
other in time. In the first he is the
young man ot birth, wealth, and hi-
tellect playing with life in many
forms—politics, music, metaphysics,
society.
As he moves through a rarified at-
mosphere suggestive of the Dolly
Dialogues he is admitted to be bril-
liantly clever, but condemned as too
lazy to turn his brains to account.
Elected for the close borough of
Hertford, in 1874, he did nothing in
the House until, in 1881, he drifted
into the orbit of that fiery comet,

Loyal to Teacher
During the summer 'vacation a
Young lady was• appointed as a substi•
tote teacher in the industrial School.
She was quite young and inexpert
enced in reform work, lint hacl a na-
turally happy an dtrustful disposition.
When a class .of twenty'of the older
boys was assigned to her slie found
that school lessous did not appeal to
them, and that it was difficult to ob-
tain anything like order or attention.
She asked permission to take the boys
on a Nature Study trip through the
woods, and the Superintendent con-
scute&, ou the promise given by the
lads that they. would not attempt to
e'rin away or give any trouble. They
started off in the morning, taking a
lunch basket with them, and returned
late iii the afternoon, a thoroughly
happy party. Not one of the lads mis-
behaved in any way during the outing
and they had unbounded admiration
for the young lady who put her con-
fidence in them.—.1. J. Kelso.
Religious Persecution in
Russia •
Dr. John Dewey in Current History
(New York) : All the reports from
Russia agree that Communist author-
ities are unanimous in the opinion
that the "religious" drive against the
Soviets is but another attempt' of
capitalistic countries to overthrow the
Communist regime. Anyone with a
knowledge of Russia could have pre-
dicted that such would be the result.
Although many have protested on gen-
uinely religious grounds, nevertheless
they have entered upon a campaign
charged with dynamite. So far as- it
