' v — Our lesson deals with the events of Tuesday of Holy Week, the day of controversy. The sticklers ( for the law, • who specialized in the fine art of theological hair-splitting, *, then endeavored to entaflgle the Master within the web of : their subtle arguments. They were determined to impale • Him on the horns of their dilemmas. Crafty catch ques tions were their stock in trade. First they asked Jesus whether the imperial taxes should he paid or not. The Pharisees objected to the tax assessments of Rome, arguing that the payment of tribute to Caesar was an act of disobedience- to God. If Jesus answer- , ed “Yes,” He would thereby expose Himself to their attack, eager as they were to accuse Him of lack of loyalty to His own people and tradition. On the other hand, if He an swered “No,” He would at once anger the Herodians, who truckled to the Romans, favoring, in opposition to the Pharisees, the payment of the imposed taxes. The Master wisely avoided a “Yes ’ or “No” reply. It is possible, He insists, in His famous answer, to be obedient both to Caesar and to God, to the state and the Church. Now came the priestly Sadducees with their artificial ; query concerning the woman with seven husbands. “Whose ■ wife shall she be at the resurrection?” they demanded. It was a silly question, but presented a golden opportunity to . the Master. Skillfully He lifted the problem into a region far above the quibbling of His questioners. In the risen *. life beyond life. He insisted, persons dwell not as husbands j and wives, but as the angels of God, communing with Him Who is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Then came the scribe seeking to know what is the first commandment. With superb insight Jesus combined two declarations from the M’osaic law. The first duty of man. He answered, is to love God with one’s whale heart, soul, 1 mind and strength. And the second duty is to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. To this the scribe assented, ^ and was told he was not far from God’s Realm. Oregon Beauty Parlor GREENWOOD, S. C. Can Give You Any Method Permanent You wish.

Well, I’ll tell you, and watch and see if I ain’t right. Something big is go ing to happen around here soon. A double rainbow at night don’t Just happen. Do you remember the rainbow one night in the summer of 1908? It was in the cast. Less than a week after it came one of the biggest freshets this section has ever knqwn. “And the freshet of 1852, and cold spring of 1817, and the bitter cold May 3, 1885, and the freshet of August, 1928, were all preceded by night rainbows, so I’m told. Tornados are foretold by them, too, and cloudbursts and dry spells. All sorts cf things, in fact, but I don’t know what’s coming this time ” Yes, that’s what “Prophet” Coth ran said, and skeptics can just take a peep at the Independent for Wednesday morning, April 26, if they are inclined to duobt, for that issue carried an interview with the “prophet.” j And did his prophecy come true? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But the fact stands that a tornado swept through this section less than two weeks after the “prophet” was here interpreting the double rain bow. ance on ordinary property, build ings, etc. The South Carolina compaztfes, for example, received premiums in payment on this type of insurance amounting to $249,- 334.82, and $11,813.82 related to •au tomobile insurance.
