Charlie Brown and Girl Wife
of Clark Figure in the l|
Police Court.
Brought to the recorder's court on
Thursday afternoon charged with seek
ing to alienate the affections-of Mrs.
Maggie Clark from her husband, Chavllo
Brown received a fine of J50.76 and a
warning from Judge Broyles to let the
woman eeverely alone In the future.
“When you see her coming, get on
the other side of the street," the Judge
told him. "Avoid temptation."
Traveling about the city In a cab late
at night, going buggy riding together
and arranging meetings at the houses
of friends were, some of the things al
leged against them.
Mrs. Clark Is a mere girl and sixteen
years younger than her husband, who
protests that ho loves her better than
his own life and Is willing and glad to
take her back If she will stay with him.
Clark became considerably excited
during the trial and at one time seemed
on the point of personally attacking
Brown.
He shook his fist In Brown's face and
began a word.poundlng of him that
promised to be Interesting, but was re
strained by the court.
The Clarks have one child, a baby In
arms, which has been cared for by Its
grandmother, the mother of Mrs. Clark
during the tatter's absence.

Our lesson today hss to do. with
Herod, whose picture la presenten
therein. It Is that of an uncontrolled

Immediately taken up In the thlrteentn
vorno of tho chapter, which declftre®
that when Joauc heard. He withdrew.
It Ip Important that wo remember that
nhat Jeoua hoard was not the account
of tho death of John the Baptlet, but
that Herod waa talking about Him. The
account of tho death of John la inserted
by Matthew at thla point In explanation
of Herod'* fear at the report of Jeauo,
hlch expreaaed ltaolf In the declara
tion that John was rleen from the
deed. We presume that It la for thla
reason that the chapter deilln* with
the parablea haa been postponed for
consideration in this course. I tninic
the method is a mistake, and It must
not be allowed to Interfere with our
apprehension of the spiritual coniece-
tlvenep* of the story as Matthew has
rltten It. . _
In the first twa verses we have a |pc-:
ture of Herod. In versea three- to
twelve we have an explanation of thf
man ap he appears In these first two
verses. I,et ua then first consider the
story In which we find the reason for
the superstitious fear which Herod
manifested when he heard the report
of the works of Jesus.

wholly given over to evil course*. He
la seen aa the victim of unbridled paa,
alona. All thla becomes the more tragic
In the light of a simple word which we
find In Mark's account. He tells us
that Herod had listened to John, and
aa a result had dona many thing* and
had heard him gladly. There can be
no doubt that at aome time or other
when the multitudes were going out to
listen to the preaching of the great
S rophet, by the banka of the Jordan,
[arod had been brought Into contact
with him, and the force of the words
which Mark uses leaves ua very little
room for doubt that he had bqon in
fluenced by John toward higher Ideals.
Over against this he had allowed the
evil Influences around him and his own
ungovemed nature to lead him Into evil
relationship* with his brother’s wife.
John sternly rebuked him. and Herod
Imprisoned the prophet. Having done
so, Herod le again revealed as a man
,of uncontrolled life. He became
the victim of conflicting emotions. On
the one hand hi* anger would have
prompted him to put an end to the life
of the prophet: on the other his fear
of the multitude* combined, as Mark
tell* ua, with his own conviction tfiat
John was a righteous man and a holy
one, held him In check, with the result
that John waa kept safe In prlaon.
Thl* fear of the multitude I* li
Itaelf an Indication both of hla weak
nesa and of hla evil nature. Kings only
fear, their people when they themselves
are evil. Once again wa have evl-.
donee, the final one, of the wakness of
hla corrupt nature. Inflamed by ca
rousal and'.under the spell of a shame,
less wanton, he made a vow, and In
• ■rd-r < n keep It for fear of the atfger of
iHorodlas, a woman herself so shame
less’ns to send her child to dance fnr
tho amusement of Herod he murdered
John.
it Is a vivid and appalling picture of
a man of natural strength lacking the
one governing principle of life which
Is equal to holding the forces of the
being In check. The lack of this prin
clpie left him the sport of every pas
sion. The craving of hi* animal na
ture mastered him, so that he violated
the'law of God and man, and stifled
whatever voices of conscience sounded
In hla soul a* the result of the preach
ing of John. He became the slave of
weak and cowardly fear, a* manifested
In hla dread of the multitude, and hie
Inability to refuse to fulfill his unholy
compact with the daughter of hla par
amour. Hla hatred drove him to the
arreat of John, who had dared to re
buke hla sin; and. notwithstanding the
revolt of his conscience, allowed him
to murder him.
A* we thus look at thla man we
learn how terrible a thing It la that
life, with all Its mighty forcea. should
be uncontrolled. Life In this condition
la capable of doing daring things. Thero
la a recklessness and an abandonment
In Its activities. It will violate the
propertlee, run counter to convictions.
Herod took Herodlas. In spite of law
and order and protest; Imprisoned
John, notwithstanding the reproof of
his own conscience and hla fear of tho
multitudes, and finally caused him to
be beheaded, In spile of all risk*. Such
daring things are always deed* of evil
when the life la uncontrolled. The dy
namic of the forcea of being, un
checked by principle, expends Itself In
explosions which are catastrophes,
flinging danger and death Into the midst
of the community, and utterly ruin
ing life Itself.
In the light of thla story wa look at
the picture of Herod presented In the
first two vorses of our lesion. Very
much may be left to the Imagination
here. The drunken carousals are over.
In all probability Herod waa wearying
of Herodlas as all aueh men do. and
ever and anon In the midst of tlio busy
life of the day. or In the lonely hours
of the night, the spectral presence of
John would haunt him, and the tones of
hla accusing voice reverberate through
out his soul. This Is the more terrible
because there had been a time when
he. had heard him gladly. And now
there came a report of another, work-
Ing even mightier deeds, who was ar
resting the attention and attracting the
multitudes throughout the whole re
gion. He heard of diseases healed, of
devils cast out, of dead ones raised to
life, and In superstitious and crave*
fear he thought of John. 8o terrible
wa* the experience that he could not
keep silent. He had to talk to hla aerv-
ants! The teaching of the story for ua
I* accurately and forcefully expressed
In the Golden Text, and especially In
Its latter portion. "He that ruleth his
spirit Is better than he that taketh a
city." To take a city may win the ap.
plause of the world. To rule the spirit
wins the approval of heaven. The one
may be done at cost of suffering to
others and may Issue In no beneficent
result to tho world at large. The other
both realizes the personal life and Is
sues In beneficent results to other*.
