JESUS ANSWERS HIS ADVER
SARIES
Lesson for May 21st. Mark 12:1-44
Golden Text: John 7:46
Our lesson deals with the events
of Tuesday of Holy Week, the day
of controversy. The sticklers for the
law, who specialized in the fine art
of theological hair-splitting, then
endeavored to en
tangle the Master
in the web of their
arguments. They
were determined
to Impale Him on
horns of their
dilemmas. Crafty
catch question*
were their stock in
trade.
First they asked
Jesus whether the
imperial taxes
should be paid or
not. The Pharisees objected to tne
tax assessments of Rome, arguing
that the payment of tribute to
Caesar was an act of disobedience
fe> God. If Jesus answered "Yes,"
e would thereby expose Himself
to their attack, eager as they were
Jo accuse Him of lack of loyalty to
His own proplenindr tradition. On
the other hand, if He answered
"No," He would at once anger the
Herodians, who truckled to the Ro
mans' favoring, In opposition to the
Pharisees, the payment of the im
posed taxes
The Master wisely avoided a
"Yes" or "No" reply. It is possible.
He Insists, in His famous answer,
to be obedient both to Caesar and to
God, to the state and the Church.
Now came the priestly SadduceeS
with their artificial query concern
ing the woman with seven husbands.
"Whose wife shall she be at the re
surrection?" they demanded. It was
a silly question, but presented a
golden opportunity to the Master.
Skillfully He lifted the problem into
a region far above the quibbling of
His questioners. In the risen life;
beyond life, He insisted, persons
dwell not as husbands and wives,
but as the angels of God, commun
ing with Him Who is not the God
of the dead, but of the living.
Then came the scribe seeking to
know what is the first command
ment. With superb insight Jesus
combined two declarations from the
Mosaic law. The first duty of man, '
He answered, is to love God with
one's whole heart, soul, mind and
strength. And the second duty is to
love our neighbors as we love our
selves. To this the scribe assented,
and was told he was not far from
God's Realm.

A Card of Thanks
We take this method of thanking
our neighbors and friends for their
kindness and help ttiey rendered
us during the illness and death of
mother, Mrs. Mollie Tuck Elliott.
May the Lord bless each and all of
you. Henry J. Elliott, husband,
Emma Elliott, daughter.

AFTER 40
bowef trouble
Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of pita and a host of
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember a doctor should know what
b best for them. ? *
"Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
it a doctor's prescription for the bowels.
Tested by 47 years' practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective In
relieving constipation and its lib for
men, women and children of all age*.
It has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.

Exciting "Song of the Eagle"
c
Splendid Cast Acta B% Roles In
Story Of America's New March
To Freedom '
AT PALACE MONDAY-TUESDAY
America parses the crisis and
takes the road back in one of the
most stirring pictures of the year,
"Song of the Eagle, ?' which opens
Monday at the Palace Theatre. It
is at majestic presentation of two
of the most seething decades in
American life, from 1913 to 1933,
and, in honest manner pictures this
mighty nation's courageous fight to
regain its pride and freedom.
Here is a vast sweeping panorama i
of national life as background for
the tale of one family's intrepid
stand against the forces of evil and
corruption. Such excellent player*
as Charles Bickford, Richard Arlen, I
Mary Brian, Jpan Hersholt. Louise,
Dressier, Andy Devine and George
E. Stone are in the featured cast.
Ralph Murphy directed.
It is the story of America's shame
? and of it# pride, of its panic, and
its rise to new heights during the
New Deal! Through the startled!
eyes of Otto Hoffman and hlg fam
iily, makers of the famous Hoffman's
Amber Brew, you see twenty tempes
tuous years pass by. Opening in 1913,
in the midst of Wilson's campaign
against Hughes, the picture literal
ly races through the years of the
war. One of the Hoffman boys
dies and, when the war is over, the
youngest son returns to enter the
business.
But Prohibition has intervened; '
the brewery has been closed; the
racketeer and the gangster have ?
come into American life. Otto Hoff- j
man will not bow to the gangsters,
the leader of which 1s Nails Ander
son, a former truck driver for his
brewery. All the Hoffman posses
sions, with the exception of the
t
brewery, are lost in the crash that
follows the years of post-war pros
perity. The picture moves swiftly
through the years that follow the'
crash; the Hoover-Roosevelt cam
paign of 1932, the inauguration, the
bank closings, the coming of beer.
Then do the Hoffman fortunes
seem to change. The brewery re
opens, but, with It, the gangsters
attempt to .maintain their hold on
beer, to terrorize the legitimate
breweries, using bombs and ma
chine guns as main arguments.
When Otto Hoffman refuses to give
in, the gangsters try to intimidate
his braumeister. Loyalty, which ends
with his death, however, keep him
with Hoffman. Then Hoffman is
killed by the gangsters, under Nails
Anderson's leadership.
The picture's climax is a daring
prophecy of what the United States
may be called upon to face in the
next few months when the lawless
element finds themselves deprived
of their lucrative beer racket.
Charles Bickford is superb as
the strong-willed, uncontrollable
Nails Anderson who bends American
business to his will with his mur
derous, strong-arm methods. Jean
Hersholt, in the role of Otto Hoff
man, gives a sympathetic perform
ance.
