CHRIST'S TRIAL BEFORE PILATE.
As procurator of Judea, Pilate was a
palpable misfit. There is something in a
pame sometimes. This ‘‘Jave-lin man’’
from the beginning of his official life in
this most undesirable of provinces, had not
ceased to hurl his darts at the hierarchy
and people, for whom he had a superlative
hatred. Utterly indifferent to the fact
that they esteemed it an extreme profana-
tion, he allowed his soldiers to bring their
silver eagles into the holy city, he hung up
gilt shields dedicated to Tiberius, and took
money out of the temple treasury to build
an aqueduct.
lace stood before his palace protesting and
refusing to disperse, his soldiers, disguised
and scattered in the throng, at a signal, be-
gan a wholesale assassination. On anoth-
er oocasion he mingled the blood of some
Galileans with that of theirsacrifices. Once
the Jewe had appealed to Caesar, and not
unsuccessfully, against the tyranny. The
relation between ruler and ruled was now
strained to the last degree. Another suc-
cessfnl appeal to Rome would probably ef-
fect the deposition of Pilate, his exile or ex-
ecution.
Ic was under circumstances like these
that the procurator had come up fiom his
; official residence in Caesarea to keep the
| peace in the great concourse of Passover
| week. What to him did all the Oriental
i splendor of the great Idumean’s costliest
palace, which he occupied on this occasion,
amount to, when, at any moment, under
ite vermilion ceilings and over its tessel-

When the outraged popu-:
COME !
lated floors, the lava-streams of popular in-
surrection were apt to sweep? Imagine,
then, his feelings when, the feast being ast
its height and she city crammed to its ut-
most capacity with a heterogeneous throng
from every quarter, there appeared at the
portal of his palace a mob headed by the
high priest, and all worked to the highest
pitch of religious frenzy. It was aggravat-
ing to the lass degree. Yet fear of another
appeal to Rome, whose fixed policy was the
conciliation of the provinces, required at
this juncture that these imperious petition-
e1s should not be driven unheard from the
judgment - seas, . . . Pilate makes,
with ill-grace, his first concession. The
Jews will not eater the judgmens hall for
fear of ceremonial defilement. So the pro-
curator places his curnle outside. Before
him, with bands bound, stands the object
of this religious fury. The accusation is
demanded. Pilate’s answer is, ‘‘Take him
and punish bim according to your law.”
This brings the confession that power to
inflict capital punishment was no longer
theirs. The charge is that Jesus is a de-
ceiver, encourages the withholding of trib-
ute, and calls himself king. . . . Pi-
late beckons Jesus, and both retire into
the comparative quiet of the judgment ball
He asks him: ‘‘Art thou. poor lone peas-
ant, king of the Jews?’ Jesus puts the
counter question: ‘‘Do you ask me wheth-
er I am king in the Roman or Jewish sense
of that woid?’’ Pilate retorts: ‘“‘Am I a
Jew?’ Jesus replies: ‘‘In the Roman
sense I am no king. In the mistaken He-
brew sense, too, I am no king. My king-
dom is unlike any earthly or political sov-
ereignty. If it were, I would bave trained
my followers to arms.” ‘‘Are you a king
in any sense?’’asks the judge. The answer
is: “Iam. My realm is truth, my subjects
the lovers of truth.” ‘“‘Truth! What
transcendentalism is this I”’ Pilate an-
nounces the innocence of Jesus. Accuosa-
tions fill the air like flying arrows. The
ruse of transferring the jurisdiction to Her-
od Antipas fails. ‘‘What shall I do with
Jesus?’’ asks the jaded governor. ‘‘Cracify
bhim!”’ is the avewer. One more protest.
“Why crucify an innocent man ? Let me
scourge him only. Like a wild sea the vo-
ciferation hroke .ahout the Gabbatha. Pi-
late washes his hands. The Jews accept
the onuma. . . Direct from the scourg-
ing, decked with mock insignia, His life-
blood, giving new tint to the mottled pave-
ment, Pilate, as a last appeal, cries: ‘‘Be-
hold the man! Is not this suffering and hu-
miliation enough?’’ *‘Crucifyl’’ is the only
answer, ‘‘Then crucify Him if you will;
tut He is innocent of offence against any
law of which Iam cognizant.’’ The priests
answer: ‘‘He has violated a Jewish law,
the penalty of which is death. He affirms
Himself the Son of God.” Pilate takes
Jesus acide to ask Him the meaning of the
term. The meaning is heyond his com-
prehension. Jesus is silent. Pilate mar-
vels, exclaiming: “I have power to crucify
or acquit you.’”’ Jesusanswers: ‘‘You have
power only because God permits you to
use it. You are guilty, becanse you con-
demn Me, knowing Me to be innocent: bus
those are more guilty who delivered Me to
you, as they sin against greater light.
‘‘'Will they not prefer Jesus to Barab
has as the object of clemency to grace their
festival according to custom? With the
collapse of this last shift comes the omi-
nous warning of Pilate’s wife. He is on the
point, even so late, of acquitting the accus
ed, when the prosecutor lets fly the last ar-
row in his quiver. ‘‘Let this man go, and
you are not Caesar’s friend!” ‘‘Behold
your Kking!”’ says Pilate. ‘We have no
king hut Caesar!’’ they retort, ‘'Crucify!”’
What is Meant
‘Shall I crucify your king?’’ ‘‘We have no
king but Caesar!’ sounds once more. So
ends the long-drawn battle in which the
life of Jesus was at stake. Pilate orders
Him to the cross.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN
Pilate is a conspicuous type of the time-
server.. He bad no moral earnestness. He
thought truth an indifferent matter. His
ruling motive was to keep his place. To do
this, if necessary, he was willing to con-
demn the innocent.
* * * * *
Yet to some degree he showed a Romans
proverbial regard for law and justice. He de-
manded the accusation and evidence. He
contented with the Jews, making use of
various expedients, until they were on the
point of tumult; then, however, he igno-
miniously conceded to their demand.
* * * * *
Pilate’s time-serving brought him small
reward. He eked ous his official life a few
years; but on the complaint of these very
Jews whom he sought to placate by such a
sacrifice of honor, he was finally deposed
and exiled. His name will go down to the
end of time in deepest infamy, as it is re-
peated in every land and language in the
imperishable creed, ‘Crucified under Pon-
tius Pilate.”
* * * * ¥
That cloud-hooded mountain, up whose
somber heights one can look from the bal-
cony of the inn at Lucerne, may not have
been the actual scene of Pilate’s suicide, as
tradition say it was; but it seems a fitting
memorial of one of the most odious charac-
ters of history.
* * * * *
Take from the galleries of the Old World
the pictures, the themes of which were sug
gested by the life of Jesus, and art would
be irretrievably impoverished; and gospel
narrative still yields inspiration for the
pencil of genius, as Munkacsy’s ‘Christ
Before Pilate’’ shows.
* * * * *
‘‘Art thou King?! How unlikely! So
it seemed to the procurator, proud of his
power, and inclined to patronize the de-
spised claimant to royalty. Yet Jesus was
the real Ruler, though in disguise. Pilate’s
power, then on the wane, lasted a scant six
years lounger. Jesus’ dominior, ever aug-
menting, has lasted for twenty centuries,
extends from sea to sea, and is owned by
three hundred million of the race. David’s
cradle hymn over the infant Solomon ap- |
plies better to David’s greater Son.
* * * * *
In the ultimate testing of character, the
tinsel and trappings of office play no part.
The moral qualities of justice, humanity,
courage, and the like, outweigh crowns,
soepters, and thrones. Nothing fortuitous
counts. In the final analysis is is what the
man is that makes or unmakes him, not
what he appears.
* * * * *
One morally earnest soul is the touchb-
stone of all others. They rise or fall by
such test. As Jesus is the supreme ethical
and spiritual character, the destiny of men
is fixed by their attitude toward Him.
This is not arbitrary, but adheres in the
very nature of the case. A choice must
needs he pressed. The ory which was
heard at Pilate’s judgment still rings in
the conscience, ‘‘Which will ye?’’ Will the
loftiest character the world has ever known
be taken as the model, or one less worthy
—or wholly unworthy. The circumstances
do not admit of neutrality. It is still ‘‘for”’
or ‘‘against’’ ‘‘gathering with or scattering
FAUBLES.
abroad.” The same choice made two thou-
sand years ago is making still in current
life. There are tragic personal rejections
of the Christ-ideal, as there was then a na-
tional rejection.

which should be gotten rid of without
delay,
The best way to purify the blood, as
thousands know, is to take Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla and Pills.
World-wide experience confirms the
statement that these great medicines
make the blood pure and rich, clear the
