Trial and Triumph
for April S, 19M '
Ir YOU HAD BEEN on the top of
the city wall on that first Palm
Sunday, watching the crowds roar
ing into Jerusalem, and some one
had told you that all the shouting
was for Jesus of Nasareth, ; you
would eertainly
have thought that
his success waa
assured.: Here,
surely, was a King
who had , arrived 1
But before -the
week waa out you
would s have seen
this same Jesus on
LMaMioaajl
trial tor his life,
and not a voice
Dr. Foreman
raised in his defense. The same
dusty-throated mob on that Sunday
shouted "Hosannal Blessed is
He!" was shrieking on Friday
morning, "Crucify him I"
Flowery Beds or
Bloody Seas?
There la a popular notion float
ing around to the effect that God
gives good people an. easy time.
It is not always put just that way.
But when a man who has been
good (or thinks he has, or has tried
to be), runs Into trouble, he asks
right away, "Why must this hap
pen to Me?" The truth of the mat
ter is better expressed in the lines
of an old hymn:
"Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease.
While others fought to win the
prize.
Or sailed through bloody
seas?"
Jem wae incomparably the
best who ever lived; yet his
momenta of popularity were
short, and he was finally tor
tured and killed by the lead
ers of church and state, amid
the Jeering approval of masses
of the .people.
He himself said that any follower
of his must be willing to take up
his own cross. "In the world you
will have tribulation," be said to
his disciples.
All Tyrants
Hate the Church
THE MORE GENUINELY Chris
tian the church is, the more it
is likely to run into opposition
There are several reasons for this.
For one thing, the church stands
for love, and the generosity and un
selfishness, the sympathy and
even the sacrifice that go with
love and are produced by it But
"what makes the world go 'round,"
the world of the politician, the
money-maker, the social climber,,
the war-maker, the world of the
power-thirsty .in every sphere
what makes that world go 'round
is pride, selfishness, shoving
ahead, Me-firstness. The selfish
and the proud do not take kindly
to love of the Christian sort, indeed
they despise it as a weakness.
But the church, when It is a
true church, stands Bp for Ha
inan! ty even when tt has to
stand against Profits; and the
man for whom Profit la the
first law of life never ander
tanda the attitude of the
church. Then the church (when
It is a real one) always stand . .
for the people against the Ty
rant, whoever and wherever he
may bev even when he la la
some church himself.
And consequently all tyrants
hate the church. The Roman em
perors hated it and persecuted it
till they found they could use it
(which, by the way, was a bad day
for the church). Mohammed, a ty
rant of sorts, hated the Christian
church and would have totally de
stroyed It If he could.
Victory WhenT
F WE SUFFER with him we
shall also reign with him,"
said St Paul But when and howT
The end of the church's struggles
could come In either of two way.
One way would be for the church
to give up struggling against the
world. Let the church become
dub for the sociable, let the church
raise no voice of protest against in
justice In society, against untruth,
violence and greed; let the. church
give in to the world. In short, and
she win have no further trouble
tram the world. .
be dead. Another way Is for the -ehareh
finally to ereroeine the -,.
world. The triumph ef the tree
" ehareh ! the name as the tri
... mniph of dlvtne teve.
That la the future to which the
Bible bids us look. WhenT We, do
not knowv But the Kingdom cornea
"one heart at time," and with
every soul the church wins from
the world-way to the Christ-way,
the vlctosfL of Love draws nearer.
