The text is John xii, 13, "Took
branches of palm. trees and went.
forth to meet him and cried Hosan-
na."
This is palm Sunday, In the ec-
eleslastical year *It is the day on
which we commemorate the strange
strobe on the Judtieen road which
constituted the one sole pageant of
our Lord's life. • It is the day that
ushers holy week, the beginning of
which saw hi'm riding into Jerteet-:
Ion, in triumph and the end lying in
Joseph of Arimatheaas tomb, This is
the time when - the same surging
crowds which, a few days later, will
cry: "Crucify him! • Crucify him!"
now make the Judaean hills echo
and re-echo with their exultant
nhouts• of "Hosanna to the Soo of
• Da.vid! Hosanna, to the Xing!'"
Appropriate, also, is my subject in.
reference to the audience to which I
speak. I know not of any class of
people to whom the significant les-
sons of Palm Sunday can be better
'elated than to ourselves, Chrigt
among the waving palms ought to
have for us gospel teachings, as well '
as 'Cheat in Pilate's. Judgment hall.
Christ among the vociferating
multi-
tudes should appeal to us suggestive-
ly, as well as Jettus carrying his
cross, Jesus resurrected freta the.
grave, Jesus appearing unto his dis-
elides after the crucifixion Or Jetsus

Palm:Sunday emphasises the truth
that a false and a selfish adoration
of Jesus Christ never results in a
triumphent and a lasting worship.
Why did 'that great concourse of peo-
ple • which came forth to welcome
:Jesus into the DaVidic capital, sOon •

Dut Palm Sunday also throwe in-
to our raptured eyes the sunrise or
Easter dawn, as well as it over-
shadows our heavens, with the dark
clouds of the blackest of all "/31ack
Fridays." Palm Sunday practically
eays to us: "You may .have to car-
ry your cross and bear yeur bur-
dens and suffer your death as Jesus
•Christ had to suffer and die, but you
may also, like Christ, have your
enumelpetion and resurrection and
ultinutte triumph. This was the reels
son why the ancient Christia.ns ohls
eled the Palm leaf upon their tomb-
stones. This was the reason Why
they also bad the palra as the sym-
bol of martyrdom. Xt Meant victory
-victory in the name of the Lord
Jesus, victory ever this world, vie -
tory oyer sin. It meant the kind of
victory that St. John described in
BeVelation when he oried out, "Ai -
ter this X beheld, and lo, a great
multitude which no man could num-
ber, stood before the throne and be-
fore this Lamb, clothed with white
robes and palms in their hands." Ci -
coy° described an athlete who had
won a great number of prizes as "a
man a many palms." So te-day as
we 803 the plain branches thrown .
under the feet of Christ we know
that they may be future symbols.
They may remind us of the palms of
many heavenly rewaads.
What o happy day. that will be
When Christ greets his loved ones in
heavenly lands and gives to • them
their victorious palms -the palms Of
reward for all their past enfferings
and trials anti sacrifices which. were
undergone for him! When Agrippa,
the grandson of Herod the Great, ex-
pressed a wish that Caligula might
some -day sit upon. the Roman
throne, Emperor Tiberius ' was an-
gered, He threw Agrippa,. into a.
loathsome dungeon. There he lan-
guished week alter week and month
.after month; but, when ' the passing
time did Place Caligula upon the
throne then the new Eraperor went
In person and opened the prisoner's
• gates. He robed Agrippa in royal
purPle; he gave him a •palce in which.
to live; he took the heavy citable
which .had once monocled the prisons
ar's feet and weighed them, and for
every heavy link Of iron he gave to
him a heavy link of gold. Our Di-
vine Maater on that happy day of
the rewordings in heaven will give
to each One of his suffering ohildren
greater compensation than ever Em-
peror Caligula gave to the. ragged
prisoner. Agrippa. Jesus will clothe
us in white; not only the symbol of
victory, but of purity. He will make
the •Jewels..of our crown out of the
• crystallized'tears we. have shed in
his service, and in each one • of: Our
hands Christ will place a palm -the
palin of victory, the •Palnal ,of never
