March, 1956
, Now comes March on the scene
of 195G, and after it has spent it
self, one-fourth of the year will
have passed. It seems that 1956
bean- only a few days ago, but
now that, March is upon us, Spring
is not far behind.
Spring this year comes on March j Caldwell, New Jersey. John Tyler,
Kan on March 4th, and that was
the custom in this country until
1933.
March is the month in which
three of our Presidents were born.
James Madison, the fourth Presi
dent of the United States, was born
at Port Connelly, Va., on March 16,
I75i. Grover Cleveland, 22nd and
24th Presidents of the United
States, was born March 18, 1837, in
An interesting item was recently
published in IV Chsitln'noniKi
Times, and it explained how the
average person spends hi life.
'" To begin with, he spends one
third of his life asleep. It spends
another four years talking -with
people, but 'women spend' l'i'.
years in conversation -with others.
A man, it is estimated, u.-ses
about five months oT his lifetime
trying to tie his shoe hires, lie
spends another five years, washina
and shaving, and up to four years
in smoking up a quarler of a Ion
of tobacco.
Telephone call? require one yoni
of the average life span, and some
six months are spent playing eards.
For .some of the fair readers, wo
would raise this to about six years.
Six years are spen; ,.atii:g and
drinking, and throe years are spent
b ''ng sick. For the average per
son, about five years are spent in
going to anil from work, and this
figure is likely to go up as more
move to the cities and as the cities
grow larger and larger.
' The main point in all oT this tub
ulating is that, after we spend all
these years doing these things, very
little is left for working. The time
consumed, in all the above pursuits
approaches fifty years, and, .there
fore, probably less than twenty
years are left for working, when it
is consiilered-xthere are many other
time-consumers not included in the
above.
. In all of the items list
be seen that the groat
tunity tor time-saving
found in the field of smo
eling to and from work
one's shoe laces. Also a great deal
of time can be saved if one washed
and shaved less.
... We suggest that those who do
not want to stop smoking should
ease up on telephone conversations,
shoe-lace tying and washing and
shaving. If, however, you wish to
smoke, and want to wear shoes with
laces, then we suggest you work at
20th, at ten-twenty-one in the
morning, when the sun enters
Aries, which marks the. Vernal
Equinox. Thus Spring comes early
this-year, .some two days earlier
than has been the case in many re
cent years. .
March is named for the ancient
Roman deity, Mars, known as the
God of War, although some author
ities claim he was originally the
find of Vegetation. The Anglo-
Saxons used to call March Leneten
monath, which meant lengthening
month, for the days grew notice
ably longer in M'.irch.
The Dutch called March -Lent-Ma;lnd,
which also refers to the
longer days. The expression, ''Mad
as a March hare," also takes note
of the fact that lengthening days
affect the temperaments of ani
mals and the growth of plants.
Many Americans are unaware
that, in early days, the year began
in March. In colonial times, for
example, a contract that extended
over a period between February 27,
1720 to .April 2nd, 1721, actually
covered only a little more than a
month, although it would 'seem to
cover thirteen months, in our motl-

March 29, 1790.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
JESUS FACES THE CITY
International Sunday School
Lesson fur March 4, 1956.
Memory Selection: "If th'ou
hadst known in this day, even thou,
the things which belong unto
peace!" Luke 19:42. .':
Lesson Text: Luke 19:37-48.
Following the great confession of
Peter at Caesarea Philippi, Jesus
made bis way .slowly toward Jeru
salem. During the period from the
great confession to the very end,
Jesus spent the major portion of
his time awl effort instructing his
disciples regarding his death and
resurrection.
In order to fully understand the
full story of our lesson for this
week, one should read the account
as given by the other Gospel writ
ers. After his visit with Zacchae-
us, Jesus went to Bethany, just six
miles from Jerusalem. This was
the home of Mary and Martha and
their brother, Lazarus, whom Jesus
had raised from the dead not too
long before. There Jesus spent the
Sabbath.
The next day our Suriday Je
sus made preparations to go to Je
rusalem. He sent two of His dis
ciples ahead to borrow a colt, and
it was on this animal the symbol
of peace, that Jesus rode into the
city of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem at that time was astir
with great crowds of people, for it
was the time of the Feast of the
Passover, one of the Jews great
feasts. Crowds of people thronged
the roads, enroute to the city to
observe this great feast When
they saw Jesus, riding along the
road toward Jerusalem, seated on a
donkey, they were quick to attach
significance to the manner of his
appearance. They were familiar
with such a symbol, for, when a
Roman emperor overcame a people,
fie rode into the conquered country
in a "triumphal entry", While-Jesus
was not on a white charger,
the people, nevertheless, expected
him to enter Jerusalem as a con
queror. But Jesus, was not enter
ing the city as a conqueror, .but. as
one who was willing to lay down
his life for his people.
At a certain turn in the curv
ing, mountainous road, the whole
city of Jerusalem became clearly
visible. Here it must have been
that Jesus stopped with his dis
ciples, and looked upon that belov
ed city, and wept. Was it strange
ihat he, knowing full well that
shortly an enthusiastic and adoring
throng would welcome him into
that same city, anxious to proclaim
him King, should weep?
R. C. Trench declared: "He
knew that all this joy, this jubi
lant burst, as it seemed, of a peo
ple's gladness- was but as fire
among straw, which blazes up for
an instant, and then as quickly ex
pires, leaving nothing but a hand-
ful of black ashes behind it. He,
knew that, of this giddy thought
less multitude, many who now
cried, 'Hosanna, blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord,'
would, ere a little week was end
ed, join their voices with the voices
of them who exclaimed, "Crucify
Him, crucify Him! We have j Be
king but Caesar,' and he wept, not
for himself, but for them, for the
doom which they were preparing
for their city, for their children, for
themselves." '
The detailed prophecy of Jesus
concerning Jerusalem was literally
fulfilled forty years afterwards, in
70 A. D., at the seige of Jerusalem,
under Titus., F. W. Farrar des
cribes it thus: "The city was first
surrounded with a palisaded mound,
and then with a wall of masonry.
The blockade established was so
terribly rigid that myriads of the
Jews perished to starvation. As
regands the phrase, 'shall lay thee
even with the ground,' Titus accom
plished this prophecy wholly
against his, will, being driven to the
utter subversion and destruction of
the city by the desperate obstinacy
of the Jews. Josephua says that
it was so frightly desolated hy the
seige, that any , Jew coming sud
denly, upon it would have asked
what place it was.? ' ": ! ; ' O'il
The second cleansing of the Tem
ple followed the next day after Je
sus' triumphal entry into Jerusa
lem. Angered because the religious
leaders had devoted a part of the
temple to the business of buying
and selling, Jesus drove out "them
that sold, saying unto them, it is
written, and my house shall be a
house of prayer, but ye have made
it a den of robbers."; ; j -V-?

Mount Lassen in northern California
towers majestically heavenward, its im
mense size a tremendous sight to man. It
has long been considered an inactive vol
cano, yet it maintains an active warmth
in its depth that is shared with lakes and
springs at its base.
Somehow it reminds you of the tower
ing strength of Christianity. Christianity,
like Mount Lassen, is visible to all in its
vicinity. It is a mountain of strength, with
endless opportunities for exploring its
mysteries."
Christianity imparts warmth to all who '
approach it. From its depths there spring
rivers of living water to quench the thirst
of your soul. And though each person
touching this mountain should take away
with him all he could carry to scatter
through the world, yet its bulk will not
diminish.
Gaze upon that Christianity that is like
d huge mountain. Be warmed, refreshed,
and strengthened through fellowship and
worship each Sunday at Church. N
