SEN. WALTER GEORGE
It is heartening to the many
admirers of Senator Walter F.
George to observe the many ex
pressions in the newspapers of
the State about his record of ser
vice to Georgia. It shows that
his elforls have been understood
and appreciated.
No member of the Senate
stands higher in the estimation
of leaders in Washington than
does Senator George; and no
Georgia political ligure stands
higher in the esteem and affec
tion of the people back home.
WELCOME TO VISITORS!
Welcome, Robins on the wing,
Welcome, harbingers of spring!
We love your grays, and sun
lit reds,
And tripping feet, and bobbing
heads.
Hundeds of you here today—
Tomorrow on your migrant way!
I see your frantic rush to feed
On those last berries in you
greed—
And then in follow-the-leador
glee
You decorate a leafless tree
Until it glows with life and light,
And warms the heart —a cheer
ing sight!
So welcome mu >t you i i y
Then
We’ll miss you —please corn
again.

JESUS PRESENTS HIMSELF AS
THE MESSIAH
LESSON TEXT: Mark 11:1-10, 1518.
GOLDEN TEXT: Again the high priest
(asked him, nnd said unto him, Art thou the |
Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus
said. I am.—Mark 14:Cl. 62.
| As our Lord entered upon the last i
I week of His earthly ministry, the I
j time had come for Him to present |
Himself officially to His people as
! their Messiah. As He did so, we
| observe that He then had and now
j has a right to claim all that we have
j and are, as well as to exercise judg-
I ment over us.
I. His Right to Property (vv. 1-7). I
Wo are so prone to call our pos-
I sessions our own, and to hold them
j for our selfish purposes. Just a mo
ment’s reflection makes us aware
that we are but stewards holding
our things, as we hold ourselves,
for the use of God.
That means that the Lord need
only send for what we have, and we
should gladly yield it to Him. “The
Lord hath need’’ is the only requisi
tion we need. He has absolute pri-)
orily. And yet the very fact that
He has need of us and what we
have, dignifies our service or sacri
fice on His behalf.
How surprising it was that the
One who made and upholds all
things (Col. 1:10, 17) should have to
say, “The Lord hath need of him,”
in sending for a humble beast of
burden. Yet therein lies a marvelous
truth. He has graciously so ordered
the universe that He has need of us
and of our possessions.
Let us also learn the important
lesson of unquestioning obedience
taught in verse 4. “They went their
way” to do what the Lord told them
i to do. How greatly simplified and
glorified would be the lives of Chris
tian people if they would thus obey
Christ.
As He came riding into the city,
we observe
11. His Right to Praise (vv. 7-10).
God says, “Him that oflereth
praise glorifieth me” (Ps. 50:23),
and the believer recognizes that
“praise is comely for the upright”
(Ps. 33:1). Jesus is entirely worthy
of the praise of every heart and
voice.
Presenting Himself as their Mes
siah, Jesps received the enthusiastic
acclaim of His disciples and friends,
who were probably joined by other*
who were drawn by the excitement.
The Pharisees did not join in (see
) Luke 19:39, 40) nor did the city, not
j even knowing who He was (Matt.
! 21:10, 11). So it is today; some love
j and praise Him, some hate Him,
others just ignore Him. Of which
class are you?
He gave Jerusalem nnd the nation
a final opportunity to receive Him.
It was not yet too late, but it was
their lust chance. Such a time comes
in the life of everyone of us. They
rejected Him. Do we?
But even though some did reject,
let us not forget that there were
those who shouted, “Hosanna,” who
cast their garments down before
Him and waved palms of victory
and joy. Thank God for their holy
enthusiasm. Pray God that we may
have a little more of it.
111. ills Right to Punish (vv. 15-
18).
People like to hear about a God
of love, one who know's their weak
ness, and is kind toward their in
firmities. But we must not forget
that God shows His love by a great
and holy hatred of sin, and a desire
to deliver us from that sin. This
means that He must and will deal
in drastic fashion with those who
persist in their sin.
A second time He drove out from
His Father’s house those who had
made it a place of merchandise, of
commercialized thievery.
This is a majestic picture. The
Son of God and Son of Man steps
j into the center of this unholy traffic
j and with mighty, holy indignation
(not anger) drives it out. The peo
j pie who had suffered long because of
I this religious racket, which paid a
i nice “cut” to the priests themselvei
(probably as a “gift” even as such
things are managed now), were jubi
lant.
We read in the same story in
Matthew 21:12-22 that the boys who
were in the temple (for such i«
doubtless the meaning of “children”
in verse 15) were so delighted at
this magnificent exercise of His di
vine authority that they broke out
into “Hosannas,” which really
amounted to a holy “Hurrah.”
Well, why not? Hurrah for our
Lord! He will not tolerate iniquity
j even thou£h it hides under the cloak
j of religion. He is not afraid to speak j
| out and to act against sin and cor- !
I ruption.
Possibly the church would reach !
| a good many more men and boys
j in our day if it would step out in |
faith to fight the wrong and support
the right. Then maybe the young
men would shout, "Hurrah for the
church.”
The chief priests and scribes were
afrasd and displeased and began to [
dot against Him. The passage in I
alt hew indicates that their anger |
■ s aroused both by the acts of 1
us and the praise ef the bovs. j
