This rising popular faith must be "nipped in the bud." Love of power overrode love of truth. The hierarchy must be pre- served at all hazards. And so a first-century Jesuitical commission comes down fram Jerusalem to stem the tide of popular favor, and. if pos- sible; convert it into An angry torrent that shal} destroy "this obnoxiois teacher. .. + hx this instance, as always; the wrath of man is made to praise God. The sorry plight in whigh Phariseeism was put was manifest from the extreme expedient it used. It admits the miracle. But it denies its heavenly squrce. On the contrary, it affirms a nexus with the under- world. It plays upon the superstitious fears of untutored minds. It goes to the utmost hound of aflirming Jesus to the devil incarnate, . 3 ' . The rupture bétween Jesus and Judaism is now complete. Oblivious (0 the wisdom, purity, and love manifested in his career, Judaism gnashes upon him malignantly. dt disdainfully calls him "this fellow," and affirms that he is possessed by the "God of Filth." . : . Jesus, on his part, in this trying ordeal, is calm, dignified. gentle; while with 'His logic He shivers the Pharisaical hypothesis. With merciful courtesy He ealls His traducers to Him, and with lucid parables shows them and the people as well, how utterly untenable their position is, i : y Union Is the source of strength and perpetuity, either in the narrow limits of domestic, or in the wider boundaries of national life. Division is destruction. In the king- dom of darkness this principle is all too well understood. Hell moves only in serried ranks. Kingdom or house or Satan, divided, can not stand, but hath an end. : ; . Jesus points with confidence to His whole career His miradles of word and deed--the gum of His influence and character, to show its deadly antagonism to Satan. How, then, can He be Satan's self? The blasphemous theory dies up on the very lips that utter it. Ae vit This poor, blind, and dumb possessed one. whose healing had produced such a sensation, and had led them to frame their profane 'argument, was just like @ castle in which a robber knight had ensconced himself, That must be a superhuman and an anti-Satanie force which storms the castle, binds the devilish intruder, and casts him out beyond hope of return. And that is what Jesus had undertaken to prove, TEACHER'S LANTERN Y Tarn the tide--it was inevitable! augmenting influence and unconceale close of the second year of the public that speed or retrogression which mac month. : Immense multitudes; an ever- d admiration--it was flood-tide at the ministry; but then the ebb set in with le the crucifixion possible in a twelve- Loaves and fishes, curiosity, and instability--the latter - were the characteristics, the former were the ends soughc by the multitudes that followed and pressed upon the Master.
