- For TBeveral years Jesus had keen

multitude wanted to make him king,

inln had cautioned those who
bad wttnessed some miraculous feat
to keep it a secret. He was post-
pohing the final clash in pa. effort to

I kingdom.
" 'Now; his hour had come. He de
" liberately discards all denial and
' carefully plans for a royal entrance
into the City of David. He entered
as became a king, with the enthusi
astic Acclaim and greeting of the vast
crowd." Garments were spread be

; and the shouting of crowds pro

Into his city with every indication

, fSvffi lylth all thisV however, Jesus
w3 knew ihftt those who greeted
him, nice the jeering mob which later
crucified him knew not what they

Before coming to Jerusalem, Jesus
had spent a very ;quiet and enjoyable
period at the home of Lazarus and
his sisters, flere he observed the
last Sabbath- and on its, evening
Mary had anoittted him with pre

day Jesus had departed on the last
stage of hir journey . to Jerusalem,
making plans in advance for his en

was favorable. Only Jesus, of the

joyful approbation. V
; Early Tuesday morning as Jesusf-
came back to Jerusalem, occurred the
incident of the barren fig tree, from
which . a valuable lesson ' can be
drawn. The enemies of Jesus ex
pected that he would : continue his
usual process of teaching, and with
that, in view, they laid their plan to
entrap him. They wanted to create
some justification to arrest him and
before they dared to - atten pt this
they hoped to be able to alienate the
Sffections of theujace. OnTue
ay'ihey asked Jesus' by wliaT'au
thority he taught, but the great
preacher countered by inquiring of
them as to John the Baptist. The
Scribes and Pharisees could not ans
wer because if they denied John's
divine authority they. .would anger
the mob upon which they depended,
and if they admitted his divine au
thority, Jesus, had but to call their
attention to John's testimony in his
own behalf. In the parable of the
vineyard tenders Jesus unmistake
ably condemned these religious lead
ers and in words not open to mis
construction foretold the approaching
climax, as well as the ultimate pun
ishment of those who participated
therein.
As we read the stirring events of
this far-off week, we should not de
tach it from our present everyday
living. . As the Jerusalem multitude
abandoned Jesus because it did not'
fully grasp his truth, so we may be
in dangerof losing our acceptance of
him in a maze of surrounding dog
mas and doctrines which obscure his
divine purpose' and his' revealed truth
May we not in our loyalty to him be
as insincere and superficial as-were
these, people who enthusiastically, ac
claimed him as their king, only to
reject. him within the. week. Do we
carry our loyalty into every activity
f our lives? Ae far jsl .the indivi
dttal is concerned, the fate of Jesus
in Jerusalem nineteen centuries ago
is not so yital as his acceptance or
rejection by each heart in this mod
ern day.

after only
when the sunshine seemed to promise
a let-up in the extreme weather which
has prevailed in recenti weeks.
A blizzard swooped down upon the
Albemarle early Wednesday morn
ing, following high- winds accompa
nied by driving rain throughout most
of the night. There was a sudden
drop in! the temperature of approxi
mately 12 degrees during the night
and daylight found everything cov
ered wHfli snciw.
Fine snow continues to fall at this
writing and there is a biting wind,
with the mercury standing at 24.
Severe as the weather is, how
ever, i H is nothing like so cold as
the weather of last week-end, when
for the first time in the recollection
of many the mercury dropped to 8.
Frozen water pipes in many of the
houses of Hertford kept) plumbers
busy, and there was a noticeable
diminishing of erstwhile big wood
piles here and there.
However, it remained for the icy
blasts of Wednesday morning to pre
vent the opening" of schools in Per
quimans, when in line with most of
he rest of the State, as well as
throughout Tidewater, Virginia, it
was found necessary to announce no
more school until Monday.
News reports this morning indi
cate that snow covers a large area
of the South, said to be in many
places the worst snow storm in a
generation, with 2 to 10 inches of
snow in Atlanta, Georgia, and sub
freezing temperatures far into th
citrus belt of Florida.
Colder weather is the forecast.
