Ill Will Mi nil By NEWMAN CAMPBELL IN OUR modern world of clash ing ideologies we can readily un derstand the religious and social turmoil in Jesus' day. The estab lished church was striving to maintain the. status quo; that is, keeping things as they were. The people were conscious of a lack in both their religious and economic life. The church elders were afraid of any new move ment because they who set them selves up as the last word in church authority, able to answer all questions, might lose their comfortable livings if too many questions were raised and changes were to take place in consequence. The people were under the do minion of Rome, and they yearned for freedom another source of restlessness and dissatisfaction. They were hoping for the prom ised Messiah who would lead them not only" out of their sub jection to the Romans, but give them new spiritual life. Therefore when Jesus came with His message of love and clean moral living, the estab lished churchmen hated and could hardly wait to put Him to death, while the "common people" loved Him dearly and followed Him gladly. After the the money Master had driven chan'gers from the So they said, "We cannot tell," and Jesus answered, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things." x Jesus then told a parable of a man who planted a vineyard and put it in charge of certain hus bandmen. When the harvest was ready he sent a servant to col lect the profits, but the husband men beat the servant; another they wounded sorely, a third they killed, and when the man sent his beloved only son, they slew him. "What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do ? He will come and destroy the husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others," Jesus said. His meaning was clear, that these unworthy ones who were in charge of the Lord's work, would be dispossessed to make room for righteous men. The next trick question these hypocritical Pharisees asked the Master was. Is it lawful to give tribute (or the tax) to the Roman ruler, Caesar? Jesus ked for a coin, and seeing the liad of Cae sar depicted thereon, He said, "Give unto Caesar the things that are his, and to God the thir.jjs that are God's." And again they marveled at His wisdom. Then the Sadducces had their query. They wero what we would call dissenters. They did not be lieve in immortality, but they ing in the social hall with a cov ered dish supper. The Jast install ment of the series of films ' "Two Thousand Years Ago" will be shown.

If a man married, then died and his brother (of whom he had six) wed his widow, and the second died and the third married her, and so on until all the seven had been her husband, each one dyinff, and lastly she died, in the resurrection, who could claim her for his wife? Jesus told them1 in the resur rection ' there would be no mar riage, but all are "as angels which are in heaven." In the book of Moses God declared Himself as the God of the living, not the God of the dead. Sitting near the entrance to the treasury where the gifts to the temp'" were deposited, Jesus watched rich people carelessly pouring in of their abundance. The money meant no sacrifice to them; it meant nothing. When a poor widow dropped two mites a farthing in, the Master declared that her gift meant more than all the rest. She gave all she had her living to the Lord, and her heart was in it. She was the one who made the Treat sacrifice for her faith. temple, the authorities of the temple were more anxious than ever to get rid of Him because the changing of money and its associate activities were sanc tioned by them and they profited by them. So it was that they were set on trapping Jesus into some .statement that would give them an excuse to have Him arrested, and once in their power, they knew (or thought they knew) it would be the end of him. How wrong they were! Now, Jesus had not taken any rnbliinieal training. He was not a priest, so they asked Him, "fJy what authority do ye these things?" Jesus answered them by ask ing, "The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?" The rulers of the temple were now in a dilemma. If they said John was a prophet of God, they reasoned, Jesus would ask why they j)a(j not believed him; if they baid "of men' they were afraid of public wrath because thou sands believed John a true proph et and had been baptized by him Based oh Education and used by perm M Training I n- 1 P. m..
