"And if any one say unto you, Why,,
do ye this?" Not ,the owner of the.
Colt, but -some watchful bystander.
"Say ye, The Lord hath need of him."
The man knew who "the Lord" was,
and owed hhn allegiance. !"And st-
raightway he will send him back 1-J-
41er." Here is a text for all borrowers!
Who can doubt that our Lord saw
that. his promise was carried out? Not
to return *hat is borrowed, sending it
back promp'tly and in good condition,
is to give evil for good and seriously
lessen the willd's supply of good will
for the future.
"And they went away, and found
a colt tied at the door 'Without in the'
open street; and they loose him." The
colt was without, that is, outside the
courtyard. .
'And certain of them that stood
there said. unto them, What do ye,
loosing the colt?" A reasonable and
proper question. Most of us are too
ktcking in public spirit to protest
when our neighbor's rights are assail-
ed or seem to be, •
"And they said unto them even as
Jesus had said: and they let them go."
Christ's authority was communicated
to His disciples. Every one in that
neighborhod knew who " the Lord"
was, and probably the Twelve also
were well known,
"And they bring the colt unto Jes-
us." Leading an ass along the public
highway! There are' but very, few in
this community who would do that.
But these two disciples did it, and
they did it willingly. In doing that
they helped to fulfill one of the pro-
phecies which established the Mess-
ianship of their Master, Had they re-
fused to do that, they would have
missed one of the grand opportunit-
ies of their life. Are you willing to
humble yourtelf for Jesus Christ, arid
to do humble things'in His service?
If not, you are retarding the pro-
gress of His kingdom, and are beat-
ing back the hosannas which are ris-
ing to the lips of men. "And. cast on
him their garments." Matthew tells
aas that the ass was brought to Jesus
as well as the colt, and He selected
the colt. That ass had long been used profits from his dovecots on Mount
in burden -bearing. It had often carr-
ied its master to the market.
"And‘inany spread their garments
upon the way." We want to make
J esus king. We live to spread our
garments in the way. That is, we have
to give of our possessions and our
time as also of our lives in order to
get the misery and wickedness out of
the world and int order to get Jesus'
into it. "And other branches, which
they had cut from the fields." The
road from Bethany to Jerusalem pass-
ed through plantations of palms, 01-

ives, figs, and other fruit trees.
"And, they that went before, and
they that followed, cried, Hosanna,"
ra the meantime the news df what
was happening spread 'to Jerusalem,
for the people had glimpsed the pro-
cession winding down the slope of 01
ivet, and, as John 12; 12; Is informs
us, a secon4 crowd was quickly form-
ed in the Holy City, poured out of
the gates in the great wail, tumbled
down into the valley of the Xidron,
rushed up to rneet the descending
host, turned, nad preceded it to fer-
usa.lent, waving paltry branches and
shouting. 'Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord."
At the four great national festivals,
the Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles,
and Dedication, the multitude sang
the six Psalms of rejoicing, 11E3-518.
This is from Ps. 118. a& Luke r9: 38
gives it, "131essed is the King that,
cometh."
Plessed is the kingdom that come-
th." The crowd,, with a wild exulta-
tion, saw themselves soon to `be freed
from the hateful bondage imposed by
the Romans, The Jews longed for
their own rulers, and for freedom
from the alien rule of distant; tyran-
nical, and dissicrated monarchs, "The
kingdom of our father David." Dav-
id's reign was the greatest the nation
had known. David's kingdom rightly
stood to the -Jews as the climax of
their history. Not as these shouters
anticipated but in a far nobler and
grander fashion, the kingdom which
Jesus inaugurated and over which He
now rules takes up the glory of Dav-
id's kingdom and is carrying it to the
ends of the earth. "Hosanna in the
highest." In the highest degree, in
the highest heaven where God ,dwells.
THE KING IN THE TEMPLE
"And they come to Jerusalem." Jes-
us and His disciples had. come from
Bethany, where they4r had spent the
night at the hospitable horne, of Laz-
arus and Martha and Mary. "And he
entered into the temple." In the tem-
ple He would meet the largest num-
ber of people whom He might teach.
"And he began to cast out them that
"told and thern that bought in the
temple." At the great feasts worship-
pers came to 'Jerusalem from many
distant lands, to offer the required
sacrifices. "And Joverthrew the tables
of the „money -changers." The pre-
text for this business was the require -
Ment that temple offering' of money

Olovet,
And he would not suffer that any
man should carry a vessel through
the temple" The temple was a short
cut between Jerusalem and the farms
and villages on the Mount of Olives,
and irrevelant people had got into
the habit of using its sacred courts
as a public street, carrying goods
through it, farm implements, baskets,
pails, and the like.
• "And he taught, and said unto
them." Addresing the; crowd which
these bold proceedings had drawn a-
round Him. "Is it not written, My
house shall be called a house of pray-
er for. all the nations?" The great
outer court of the temple which Jesus
had purged of the triders, was called
the Court of the Gentiles, Men of all
natioris were welcome to it. "But ye
have made it a den of robbers." Lit-
erally, a cave of robbers, such as
Christ had often seen on the way
from Jerusalem to Jericho, where
bandits lurked and from which they
rushed out upon lonely travellers to
despoil them.
'And the chief priests and the scribes
heard it." The scribes were the law-
yers, who recorded, transcribed, and
interpreted the laws of Moses. The
chief priests included the high priest,
all who had been high priests, and the
heads of the twenty-four courses of
priests who ministered in. turn in the.
temple. "And sought how they might
destroy hime." They were touched in
'their purse, for they gained nuich
from the temple traffic. They were
touched also in their pride, for they
should have kept the temple free from
ails sacrilege. "For they feared him."
They feared His influence with the
people; the reforms He was inaug-
gurating would in time drive them
from power, and the many whom
they had wronged would seize the
opportunity for revenge and punish-
ment. "For all the multitude was as-
tonished at his teathing," They were
amazed and delighted at the bold-
ness and freshness of Christ's teach-
ings, His fierce opposition to all in-
iquity, His sympathy with the people,
His clear insight into divine teachings
and he manifest authority with which
He spoke.
