I Introduced into themasque, which I forma one wing of the Taj. and on the fountains and the surrounding buildings. The Tai was designed by Ustad Isa. He is described by some as a Byzantine Turk and by other authorities as a native of Shiraz in Persia. He undertook the com 1 mission at the command of the emperor, who mourned his beloved Mumtaz Mahal and wished to commemorat ■ her many virtues by a structure as delicate an-1 perfect as had been her body and I devotion. The pietra dura work! - belongs to the Persian school; and | I the sometimes advanced theory j that it was the work of a French- . man. Austin de Boudeaux. in the employ of Shah Jahan probably is . Incorrect. The ancient city of Agra, where I this monument stands, is famed itself in the tales of the mysterious east. It was a famous frontier fortress in the ancient days, and there the Afgan rulers from the mountains held their sway. When J the city was captured 'by the Emperor Baber in 1526. the famous Koh-i-noor diamond was part of the loot. Augusta Jane Evans introduced j a replica of the Taj Mahal in her novel of years ago, ’St. Elmo,", while the late Sir Conan Doyle' • laid a part of "The Sign of the' • Four" In the fortress of Agra dur-j i ing an Indian uprising.

In the time of Christ, the temple in Jerusalem war invested by traders who sold their wares to those who came to worship. Some dealt in sheep, doves and oxen for sacrificial purposes. Others were money changers, trading half-shekels, to pay the temple dues, for foreign coins of travelers The temple entrances were crowded with them and the place was a veritable market.

In the first year of his ministry, 27 A.D., Christ journeyed to Jerusalem to celebrate the Pentecost. He found the temple porches obstructed by greedy trafficers, who halted the worshippers to bargain with them. Jesus made a scourge of cc.'ds arid charged upon the violators of the sanctity, flogging them with his whip, overturning their tables, nad driving them from the place.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? Jesus and Nicodemus QUESTIONS | 1. Who was Nicodemus? 2. What were the Pharisees? 3. What was their attitude towards Christ? 4. What had Christ done at I this time? 5. How did Christ reply to his i critics? 6. Why did Nicodemus visit I Christ? 7. What was the gist of Nico- ' demos's question? i 8. What was the gist of Christ’s i reply? 9. How did Nicodemus accept this instruction? 10. What part did he play in I the later life of Christ? ANSWERS 1. Nicodemus was one of the leading Pharisees of Jerusalem, a member of the Sanhedrin, and an authority on the Mosaic laws. 2. The Pharisees were a sect among the Jews of Christ's time, noted for their close adherence to i the laws of Moses. They were of j a class apart, splitting hairs in the interpretation of religious observances, and inclined to conduct themselves in a haughty and overbearing manner. 3. The Pharisees hated the Roman domination. They awaited the prophesied Messiah. 1 tit they I believed that he would come as an earthly ruler to deliver them from I their foreign emperor. Because Christ taught love, peace, and spiritual religion, they refused to accept him and opposed him bitterly. 4. Christ at this time had ent- | ered the first year of his ministry. \He had come to Jerusalem to ; attend the Pentecost and had driven the money-changers from the temple for the first time. 5. When Christ was criticised for his action, he replied: “Destroy the temple and I will rebuild it iii three days.”

S — —-—— — ■ II 7’-* Following this disturbance in the temple, the Prarisees of the Sanhedrin were impressed by the manner in which Jesus conducted himself. Desiring to learn more of his pretensions, they delegated one of their members, a man named Nicodemus, to call upon Jesus and question him. Nicodemus went to Jesus in the night, meeting hire outside the city, perhaps on the Mount of Olives.

I 6. As one of the leaders of the Pharisees, Nicodemus was chosen by his associates to wait upon this young fanatic and question him. They did this in order to ascertain just what he pretended that they might plan this future conduct in regard to him. 7. Nicodemus told Christ tint he understood the teaching of Jesus to be that a man must be ~ born a second time. If this was in the spirit, he asked how it t might be accomplished? 8. Christ replied that pomn. s i rituals and formulas of religious | ceremonies were immaterial. The t hair-splitting religious controverI sies of the Pharisees were of no >.; significant e. A man must be | born again, he said, in the unders standing of the spiritual significance of religion, truly seeking to 1 1 serve God on earth that he fulfill | his life to the utmost. n 9. Nicodemus was greatly imI pressed with Christ's teachings. I Being a good and just man. he p reported it truthfully to his colB ! leagues and became an under- „ standing friend of Jesus. 10. When Ch"ist was plotted > , agqinst by the Sanhedrin, Nico-1 , | denius was one of his protectors, o Following the crucifixion, it was ,f. Nicodemus who assisted in the e ' burial of Jesus. r- j o ■t I Firr.t Christian Church C. R.

Nicodemus questioned Christ as to what he meant wi er he said a man must be born a second time to .nherit the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus answered that by this he meant tha at spiritual rebirth must be undergone—that a man must forget pomp and ceremony and seek to live a truly godly life. Nicodemus, a wise and just man, was greaHy impressed and became a convert to Jesus’ teachings.
