THE WARRING CHRIST'S FOES International Sunday School Lesson For May 26 Is "Jesus Silences His Adversaries" Mark 12:1-44 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Some superficial readers of the Scriptures assume that conflict and war have no place in a Christian s philosophy. That assumption will not stand the test of the fact. At the end of His life Jesus fought and died as a warrior. He was hounded by foes. Sometimes He himself dealt vigorously and physically with evif conditions. His spirit was that of a militant hero. There was nothing of the pacifist about the Master. We see Him in the present Sunday Schol lesson, at bay before His foes, the politico-ecclesiastical hier archy of His day. Obviously, this story of real re ligion in sharp combat with formal, empty ecclesiasticism is a suggestion of the gravely important fact that the Son of Man came not to send peace, but a sword; and that the pro gram of war for the memorable Tuesday of Holy Week is still the everyday program of the Church. The old war still wages. The con flict betwen truth and error, right eousness and selfishness, is still a real and keen as when, all untear ing, the calm-eyed Christ faced th sinister countenances of the of His bitter enemies in the temple court of old Jerusalem. It is a mistake to assume that re ligion reigns with undisputed swa. in the life of to-day. The atmosphere of the Sunday school is not tne at mosphere of the big world; this sit uation is what first bewilders ana then overthrows many an innocent, youth. The standards of religion and of the world are diametrically opposed. Christianity must main tain an atmosphere of war wise, patient war, but war nevertheless. It will not do for good people to retire into their own exclusiveness and Ig nore great and blighting and reaching evils. Let no enthusiast de lude himself into the belief that the nsolent and active evils of intem perance, gambling, lust, evil speech and dishonesty are going to be over come by any other means than tj} e wise and courageous battling of the forces of righteousness. The Son ot God is at war; His followers must tight. That is a cardinal truth un derlying this dramatic day in His life. A <iront Career's Crowded Close The impending crisis which He clearly foresaw impelled the heroic Teacher to an increased intensity on these closing days of His public min istry. The crucifixion was only three days distant. Jerusalem was thronged with Passover visitors. His name was upon every lip; He was the outstanding personage of the least, whom all men sought. The record of the day is full, beginning with the discourse on faith, apropos of the withered fig tree, as Master and dis ciples were on the way from Bethany where they had spent the night, doubtless as guests of Lazarus, At the very outset the Pharisees and scribes began to harry Him witn questions designed to entrap Him into some admission that could be used against him in a civil trial. He spoke several parables to the people, talked of the widow's mite, and uttered His excoriating philippic against the scribes and Pharisees, I in speech that still seems to sizzle and sear as one reads it. Only a superlative warrior could have so spoken. There is a dark pathos over the picture of this day. Jesus was mak ing tremendous efforts to ha\e the Jews accept Him. it was their last chance. Back of all His strong words lay a heart of y earning for the people He loved. But in vain. "He canrte unto His own, and His own received Him not." John significantly says. "But though He had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on Him." in the soft quiet of eventide, as the Teacher and His little band of followers trudged over the valley to Bethany, He lifted for them the veil which had fo rthem the future, and foretold, in a picture which sets the reader ashudder, the destruction of the impenitent city that they were leaving. The Jews persisted in re jecting their King; therefore the dire consequences were inescapable. A Trap That Failed The powerful temple ring during the day sent certain Pharisees and llerodians, whom they hoped Jesus would not recognize, in the guise of sincere seekers after truth. They wanted to catch Him in His words, that they might extract something that could be twisted into a sem blance of treasonable utterance, in order to hale Him before the Roman courts. What a putting of heads to gether there had been in order to devise the trap that was sprung! And undoubtedly it was a clever one. With the polite palaver of poli ticians and schemers, they ap proached Jesus with lying words of flattery—which were as false and reprehensible as they are to-day when they are uttered in the con ventional guise of the "white lies" of society—saying, "Master, we know that Thou art true, and carest not for anyone; for Thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God." Para doxically, this was true though false. On the lips of the men who spoke it the statement, was false: they did not mean it. Yet, standing alone, the declaration was more profoundly true than they could realize. Then they sprang the trap. "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?" They thought Jesus was bound to be transfixed on one horn or other of the dilemma: if He said "yes," the common people, in whose favor He was intrenched, would re pudiate Him, for they loathed the 7{oman rule; If He said "no," then lie sharp talons of the eagles would ■•viftly clutch Him. Jesus parried 'tie question. He was more adroit £*n they. Since they were not Sour Stomach Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach in Fine Shape in Five Minutes If your stomach is continually kick ing up a disturbance; you feel bloated and distressed; if you belch gas and sour food into the mouth, then you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets. Ml-o-na stomach tablets give i n . Ktant relief, of course, but they do more; they drive out the poisonous nases that cause fermentation of food and thoroughly clean, renovate and strengthen the stomach so that it can rr-adily digest food without artificial I aid. Ml-o-na stomach tablets are guar-1 anteed to end indigestion, acute or chronic, or money back. This means I that nervousness, dizziness and bil- , lousnesa will disappear. Druggists everywhere and H. C. Kennedy sell Mi-o-na. —Advertisement. FRIDAY EVENING, honest, and not open minded to con viction, He treated them withou seriousness or respect, and as hypo crites deserve. They were simpl I foiled by His request for a penny I and the terse comment, "Rende | unto Caesar the things that are Cae ; Bar's." Notwithstanding the scant am ] skillful treatment of the guilefu | questioners, whereby they were ut terly routed, the words of Jestw con tained a deep truth, applicable ti all times. In these days of world war and sacrifice we are being re called to the big truth that there ari obligations in life. The diviine law so tersely summarized is that ever; honest person must do his duty b; the state—that is. be true to his obli gations as a member of society, ii all human relationships—as he mus do his duty to God. * Observance o one does not relieve him of fidelit: to the other. Duty reaches ou toward one's fellow man, and up ward toward his Creator. In thii spirit of patriotic loyalty, myriads o Christian men have gone to the front Quibblers Confuted The scene bristles with foes. Aftei the emissaries of the Pharisees hac | retired in confusion, the rich am I aristocratic Sadducees, who deniec | the possibility of a resurrection came to the fore. This is a livinf | question. The problem, which, per I haps more than any other, is engag ing thinkers on the most vital sub j ject, is the problem of a future life I War has brought that home. 1: man's spirit immortal, or does it, as I one distinguished divine has said j merely possess "immortality," or th( capacity for immortality? The per son who does not leave all his think ing for other men to do, accepting their conclusions in carefullj wrapped and labeled parcels, cannoi ignore this vital subject; and he wil do well to ponder the positive words of Jesus as contained in this passage Linked to this is the other issui laised by the Sadducees as to the na ture of heaven. If man is to live forever, how is he to live, anc where? Is heaven a sexless, imper sonal, colorless, ghostly state, or is i a realm where the best of mortal be conies immortal, and personalis persists in all its loftiest powers' These are questions more important than the latest mode, race, game 01 profit. The contemplation of then is in itself an education of man': higher nature. And it leads one t( sit at the feet of Him who taught th< race all that it knows concerning th< greatest subjects than can engage the human mind. First Tilings First Having divorced religion fron practical life, the lawyers and th< scribes and the Pharisees dearlj loved ingenious debates as to whicl was the greatest commandment Many and protracted were the petty arguments they would have upo'r this point. So one scribe, apparentl> in sincerity, was made a stool pigeoi by the Pharisees in an endeavor tc catch Jesus in this old trap. The answer of the latter was so clear and so true that even the ques tioner was forced to say, "Of a truth Master, thou hast well said."

Any one truth held too close to the eyes will obscure broader truth in its re lationships. Thus, it is right and noble and necessary and divine to champion the principles of brother hood. Kvery friend of Jesus Christ is obliged, by loyalty to his Master, to stand for this vital teaching. The law of the times is. "Thou .shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Nevertheless, this is the Second Commandment and not the First. It is the duty of man to get right with God. His relation With his human fellow beings will be determined by his relationship with the infinite. The fatherhood of God is a true ante cedent to the brotherhood of man; and it makes possible the latter. The popular evangelistic watchword "Get 1 right with God" is not merely a 1 pious phrase savoring of cant; it has far-reaching sociological significance.- All the vexing questions that harass our nation would speedily be answered were the people in office and out to gain normal relations with the Supreme Law Giver. | DandYLine 1 \\ Extra Wear [j Shores | White Canvas or Kid j !
