Jesus In The Temple
Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers, and said to them:
“Scripture says—
“‘My House shall be called a House of Prayer’;
but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.'”
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them. But, when the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts “God save the Son of David!” they were indignant, and said to him:
“Do you hear what these boys are saying?”
“Yes,” answered Jesus; “but did you never read the words—
“‘Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast called forth perfect praise’?”
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
—Matthew.
Future generations will cherish the homes of their great characters above all other shrines of patriotism.
Lost, Two Golden Hours
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward offered, for they are gone forever.
—Horace Mann.
