reseneasting him out and
killing him.
What should be the fate of these
wicked husbandmen? There could
be but one answer. They would be
destroyed and the vineyard given
to others. What a perfect picture
this was of degenerate Israel, who
after having rejected and stoned
the prophets were preparing to kill
the Son himself!
There i s always an element of
sadness in death. Perhaps the sad
dest thing in history is the death
of a nation. Unlike individuals,
nations do not die of old age. A
nation may renew its youth from
century to century through the re
newal of its ideals and purposes
in the oncoming generations. But
if it loses its ideals, if its purposes
grow sordid and selfish, if it ceases
to have a ^sense of divine mision,
then a nation may degenerate, until
at length it becomes an easy prey
to its foes and is brought to death.
As we read the second half of
Luke 20, we get the picture of a
nation that is slipping toward the
grave. When Jesus held up to.them
a mirror and the Jewish religious
leaders saw themselves reflected
in the parable of the vineyard, they
made their minds up to kill him.
Is not this the surest sign that a
nation is dying, that it vents its
wrah upon the physician who di
agnoses its disease, rather than
seeking a remedy for the nation?
Pity and disgust mingle in our
minds as we read how these re
ligious leaders sought to entrap
Jesus with their about
tribute money, and o< their silly
problem of the seven brothers who
married the same woman. What a
contrast to these doddering religi
ous pettifoggers is the superb man
hood and wit of Jesus!
H er * was 8 nation - choeen
God to be a blessing to all the
nations, dying of heart failure and
softening of the brain. Jesus rec
ognized what was happening, and
even the disciples began to under
stand that something tremendous

eiples pointed with admiration to
the Temple of Jerusalem, Jesus
j sadly foretold that the day would
I come when not one stone would be
left upon another. In astonishment
they asked, “Master, but when
shall these things be? And what
sign will there be when these
things shall come to pass?”
- Plainly Jesus warned against the
false messiahs who would arise in
the years ahead. He foretold also
the wars and strife with which hu
manity would be afflicted in the
coming centuries. To all this would
be added natural disasters, accom
panied by famines and pestilences.
In the midst of all these crises, his
disciples are to be unterrified,
knowing that all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not
at once.
During this new era which he
was ushering in, his cause would
advance slowly, and in the face
of terrible persecutions. From the
destruction of Jerusalem would
date a new world era, following

ble suffering, and the scattering of
the Jews till the period of the Gen
tiles expires. Past this horror, at an
unpredictable future time, a crisis
involving nature and the nations
will occur, and then shall be seen
the Son of man coming in a cloud
and with glory.
The Old Testament age was fol
lowed by the New Testament age
which will at length be followed
by the age of Christ's second com
ing. Are we getting close to this
third age? Some say we cannot
know, others think that it is en
tirely probable. Jesus plainly' says
that “Of that day and hour know
eth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only” (Matt.
24:36). ,
Whether we are coming to the
enf j 0 f “the age” or not, it is quite
certain that we are approaching
the end of an age. The world will
never be quite the same after the
events of the past two years. Mo
mentous changes have taken place
and are taking place among all the
nations of the world. Certainly we
see it coming to pass as Jesus fore
told, “men’s hearts failing them
for fear, and for looking after those
things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken.” As the budding
of the fig tree indicates the coming
of summer, so likewise these great
events of which Jesus speaks are
not to dismay us, but to encourage
us to know that the kingdom of
God is nigh at hand.
In the midst of confusion and
change and tumult, what is the
Christian’s duty? First of all Jesus
warns us, “Take heed to yourselves
test your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and so that
day come upon you unawares.”
Christ’s coming, bringing to an end
the present age and inaugurating
the new age, will be sudden and
unexpected, and must not catch us
like a trap.
How then shall we be ready?
“Watch ye therefore, and pray al
ways, that ye may be accounted
worthy to esscape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to
stand before the Son of man.” We
are to watch and pray as if his
coming were expected tomorrow.
What a day of judgment it would
be for millions of people, and for
all the nations, if he should come
right now!
“Watch ye therefore, and pray.”
Our Lord taught everlasting pre
paredness. The individual is to be
prepared and the nation is to be
prepared. He said nothing about
preparation by means of armies
and navies, airplanes and tanks,
bullets and bombs. In a world
where savagery is repudiating
civilization, and where might is
called right, such physical prepar
edness may be necessary to save
the nation's life. But the prepared
ness for which Jesus calls goes
much deeper and is vastly more
important. It is the preparation of
mu 4 and heart to know and to
do me will of God. It is as true
today as when it was written by
the psalmist. “The wicked shall be
turned into hell, and all the na
tions that forget God” (Psalm
9:17).

They’re resentful of some of the

Take for instance, Representative
Harvey Roughton, f >f Washington,
who iast week challenged “edi

votes of legislators are for sale.
This resentful legislator referred
to an editorial page column by C.

writer stated there are 263 lobby

has to stay at the hotels to look

SERVES US ALL: “The railroad
is olir basic medium of transporta
tion,” declared ble Parkerburg
(W. Va.) News. “It is one of the
nation’s largest employers of labor,
and its wage scales and working
conditions are not surpassed in any
industry. Indirectly it employs still
another army of men and women—
the workers in the industries and
trades and businesses from which
the railroads buy. The railroad
is one of the largest local taxpay
ers, and the money it pays to school
districts alone provides education
for tens of thousands of children
each year. And the typical railroad
is always willing to help in any
worthwhile community project.
That’s the kind of industry the
railroads is~an industry that
teaches every phase of our econo
mic and social life, that in one
way or another serves us all. And
that’s the kind of industry that
deserves community cooperation.”

Manufacturers' offers to make the

the use of United States grown
