SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Priests Sqld Temple Concessions STUDY FOR MARCH 11, 1S51 By Wm. Southern, Jr. A political concession ii nothing new. Sometime! we protest at po litical concessions, where someone in authority authorizes a friend to aet up a shop in a public place, never intended to be used (or prof it, but we simply smile and call it honest graft. In all history of republics as well as dynasties of rulers we will find scattered thru the story these political grafts and we might think they are something new. Nearly two thousand years ago when Jesus was living on earth and teaching us by His own life and living, how to live, the center of all religion in Palestine was the great temple. The High Priest was the chief officer and some where 1 have read that the con cession in one of the outer courts was given to the sons of this high priest. This concession was very valu able especially during passover time. Jews from everywhere cen tered at Jerusalem. They came from every country and of course the money they carricd was strange money. There was a rule that only the money of Palestine could be used to buy sacrifices, which every visitor came to Jeru salem to make at such a time. First the strange money had to be converted and the concession mer chants made a business of this and we are justified in believing that they sometimes short changed the tourist. I have experienced this in other countries. I would not know what the strange money was worth and would hold out a hand ful and take whatever change was given. In the account given in Mark, Jesus arrived at Jerusalem several days before the Friday of the cru cified and every day visited the temple. According to Mark the first day He simply looked around and He saw the busy concessionar ies selling animals and birds for the sacrifices and changing the money of the strangers for money which was good in Jerusalem. Then returning the next day He led the charge against these mer chants, overturned their tables and drove them from the temple saying, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations but ye have made it a den of robbers." One who read this story asked me how could a single man do this. There were many merchants and money changers who would have ganged up against him. Jesus was not alone, there were twelve husky, bearded fighting men with Him. I can sec Peter, a great big man with flashing eyes and prob t ? ? ably a club in hii hand, raging up and down by the side of Jesus and followed by eleven other rugged individuals. The merchants were not fighters and this array of strength was amply sufficient. For the days before the betrayal Jesus '.vent to the temple every day and gathering about Him great crowds of people He taught them, and many of the parables with which we are familiar, were given on those days. He had made His "Triumphal Entry" into Jerusalem and had received such a joyful welcome from the great passover crowds that the authorities in charge of the temple were afraid they would start a revolution and tear up things. So they tried Him out in many ways. They tried to make Him say it was unlawful to pay taxes to Caesar and thus leave Him at the mercy of the Roman officers. It was then that He held up a coin and asked whose image and superscription was on the coin and said those immortal words which answer this question ' for us today; ? "Render unto Caesar the thing! that are Caesar's, and unto God I the things that arc God's." We are I talking about taxes today and in this sentence wc have our answer. The home of Jesus in Capernaum was that of Andrew and Peter, but He had another place which might be called a home. Bethany was a small suburb of Jerusalem and here lived three of His closest ' friends. Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus. During the last week of His work He retired to J this home each night. It was there also that "Simon the Leper" lived and a most interesting event of this week was at a dinner at his home. Frortl here Jesus went into 1 the temple each day and taught. About the first thing the author ities asked of Jesus when He drove the money changers from the tem ple was "Where is your authority?" "Who gave you the right to preach and teach and to say what shall go on in this temple?" That touches the very center of (Continued on page 7) To Conduct Meeting mraw'f j Antolne T.

The only way we were able to judge its size was by its generosity, and its gen erosity has been so large that the church had cathedral proportions in our minds." When is a church "big"?
