Jesus scorned the act of the demagogue and no man of history ever had a better chance or stronger temptation In this regard. Once in His career the people offered I Him the crown and throne of His lather, David. They Deiievea tne time at hand. With palm branches in their hands and loud hosannahs on their Hps they sought to bring Him to the throne. Had He been winino- tn ntnnn t the method of the demagogue He could have feigned that spark of patriotic fer vor lnt0 a ,world revolt and out of ,t won tne temporary honor of men. But for a sceptre, He chose a reed and for a crown a crown of thorns and for a throne an uplifted cross.
