John 14:6. " Lesaoa Text Matthew 21:18-43 Our lesson for this week goes back to ft consideration of , a. passage from1 theGospel of Matthew 'and fol lows immediately after the triumphal ant of hrist into Jerusalem, which nrmmA on Sunday of what is called Pocainn Week. Immediately after the enthusiastic welcome given him " anl' tibe snontaneous ' acceptance of him as the long expected "King", Jean retired to the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus, at nearby lfothanv. where he spent the night j Journeying back to Jerusalem with his disciples early the nexn morning, Jesus saw a fur tree near the high way and, being hungry, went to it exnectina: fruit to eat. Finding no fmiit. and thus humanly disappointed. the tree having proved that it had failed in the purpose for which it was planted, Jesus declared that no fruit should grow upon it from henceforth forever. ' -" Of this curse, John Walter Good declared, "The significance of this curse 4$ that time is plain . . . The fig tree was not cursed because it was false, not because it was barren. The full-grown leaves promised fruit on the tree, and it had none. The tree was false. This fact suggested ab once the falseness of Israel in that day. Outwardly their forms and religious performances made a great show of spiritual fruits; but inwardly they were without the Spir it of God and without) fruits of right eousness," ' . Following the cursing of the fig tree, Jesus journeyed on into Jeru salem and, on entering the Temple, became righteously indignant at the practices being carried on in the : irae of religion. Taking a scourge i:i his hand, he drove the money changers from the Temple, declaring, ti is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye make jit a den of robbers." ;u Returning to Jerusalem the follow ing morning, Tuesday, Jesus went into the Temple and there began to preach to eager crowds which had assembled there. He was rudely in irrupted in his discourse by the Met priests and elders, who de-J manded to know 'by what1 authoritj he- presumed to do the things he did and teach the things he taught. In stead of answering their, question, Jesus presented a counter-question by asking, "The baptism of John (the Baptist) was it from heaven or ot men?. They dared not discount John, because of the people's belief, in his integrity and they feared the wrath of the people; and yet they dared not approve John, for. he had testified as to. the divinity of ChriBt,' Cowardly,' they .wUbjiww.romtb dangerous situation by declaring themselves unable to answer. t Then by parabolic teaching, Jesus turned in wrath upon these religious leaders of the people. In the t,first parable, that of the two eons, Jesus by inference declared that the scribes and Pharisees, because of their stub born unbelief, had received the Mes- siah sent to them by God and because of this rejection, they were farther from the Kingdom of God than the vilest persons, in their knowledge,! the publicans and the harlota, wno nad heard the teachings of John and of Christ and had through faith, accept ed him. .. . . .'.. ' Then Jesus told the story of the householder, who planted a vineyard, turned it over to husbandmen and departed. . When the householder sent servants to the husbandmen for an accounting, the wicked men beat one, killed another and stoned a third., Sending other servants, the husbandmen did likewise to them, Finally, the lord of the vineyard sent his own son, thinking that they would reverence him. .But the owner was mistaken, for the husbandmen rejected him, took him out of the vineyard and killed him also. This was and is exactly what the Jewish people, to whom the Lord Jesus was at this very hour talking, did with God's only son. The scribes and Pharisees thought that by get ting rid of Jesus, they would put an end to his popularity, which was es tranging many of the people from their teaching. .That they were wrong is shown in the events which followed immediately after his cruci fixion and have lasted to this very day. The gospel of Jesus Christ spread throughout the world, many thousands of Jews were won away from the synagogue and most terri ble of all, within forty years, Jeru salem was laid in ruins, the Temple was desecrated and the Jews, as a people, from that time until this, have been scattered over the face of the earth a nation without a home. Chewing The Rag With Lucius Blanchard, Jr. A long time ago a lot of reckless oung fellows carved this nation out i t a wilderness. They swindled the Indians out of the parts they couldn't --,et otherwise, and later their sons, the Original Americans, decided they were tired of being dictated to from o thmn three thousand miles away. nnr country." they said heatedly.

There's no doubt about it. George ashington was the nation's most roular man at that time . . . and v, ''l is, judging from the number of "r.pnrorea" livine today. And because these tough, reckless fellows wanted to make this .n,,ntrv different from any other rountry on the face of the earth, thev elected him president . . . and decided to elect the Head Man from 'en Ml. Geonre was so popular he could have been elected President for as long as he lived. He could have been r"ected for Fourth and even Fifth Terms. But George hadn't been fighting rr nothinsr. and now he didn't want J,' country to go back to the thing lie had fought against. In short, G. W. didn't want the residency of the U. S. A. to become a hand-me-down ... "Nothinir' doing, boys," George pro- Tahlv said - after his second term i Hen thev wanted him to run again. jf this keeps up, I'll begin to feel " like the Presidency belongs to be. I nay even want to turn it over to my ,' children." ' -V George didn't want this country to 5 become a monarchy. That's exactly what he fought against in the first t1are , , - ''Nothing doing," George repeat- el . . .Jl VX'1 '" v . .J net a precedent A precedent, i according .to Noah ;;w.hf: la "something done or said that mpy serve as an , example ' or Tula to f-'horize or justify subse- . ,V ft the same kind.", ' " ' Arl f) l.Ue nearly everybody ft 1 remanding that he,' run Pcrily r.:tnls Parity payments " on cotton and wheat will definitely be made In 1940 in North Carolina,'! says E..Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State College, in' clearing up con fusion resulting f from consideration of farm payments in Congress. m "There was -appropriated at a pre: viouS session of Congress $225,000, 000 for AAA parity .'payments in 1940, and Congress is' now consider ing appropriations for parity pay ments in 1941,'FIoy4 said. The AAA officer ' explained that there can be no parity payment in 1940 on tobacco because the average price of tobacco in 1939 was more than 75 percent of parity. 'However," Floyd said, "a farm er who grows cotton" or wheat, or both, as well as tobacco, will lose his parity payment it hel over-plants the sunt total of his special allot ments. For instance, . if a farmer has a 10-acre cotton allotment and a five-acre' tobacco' allotment, he could plant five acres of cotton and 10 of tobacco and still receive his cotton parity payment, but he would lose his performance payment on tobacco. And if he planted 10 acres of tobacco and 5.1 acres of cotton, he would los eboth his parity anj performance payment." , . i Rates of parity payments will be announced later, Floyd stated. The irate of any crop cannot exceed the amount by which the 1939 average farm price of the-commodity is less than 73 percent of the parity price Producers of winter wheat may apply for and receive 1940 parity payments before their 1940 perform ance is checked on cotton and to bacco, upon agreeing to make re funds if subsequent creck-ups show that they have overplanted their al lotments of any of the special allot ment crops. Who Knows? of the Dies again, George stepped down. Every body thought he was the only man capable of steering his Country through the critical years ahead. But they found somebody else and somehow or other The Country man aged to scrape alone for the next 135 years while all the succeeding Head Men repected the precedent set up by the First Head Man. Many years after George died and right after George's Country had en joyed the most prosperous decade in its history, The Country got in another hole. Everything went blooey at once . . The stock market toppled with a crash that jarred a lot of Big Peo ple out of their chairs at every point on the earth, because deorge's coun try now was one of the most impor tant centers in the world. A lot of Big People went into bankruptcy, a lot of factories closed and Millions of Little People were thrown out of work. Georees Country was still in a daze from the shock when the United States elected another President. (He did a creditable job as the 33rd Head Man. He kept a Lot of Little People from s'arving when they couldn't find work. He was very popular. Almost as popular as George Washington was with the boys at Valley Forge. He was so popular in fact, that the Third Term talk came up again. A lot of Big People were beginning to get on their feet and the Little Peo ple were eatinir resrularly for a change. And Nearly Everybody was afraid. Things were just getting back to near normal, and they were thinking of the saying about changing horses in mid-stream. It had been a critical time. Along in 1939 Some People asked the 33rd Head Man about running again in 1940 for a Third Term. - The Head Man kept them guessing until they began to talk about draft ing him, just like they . did, when George was rounding out his second term.'
