Following hi* triumphal entry into Jeruialem and previous to the time of his crucifixion, Jesus spent the days arguing with those who came to dispute with him in the temple and resting at night with his friends outside the city gates.

ON THE STAGE OF THE EMBOYD ! THEATRE, FORT WAYNE, iND"BLACKBIRDS OF 1934” I Acclaimed by critics everywhere as the Toest and most brilliant in 1 j the series”, Lew Leslie’s “Blackbirds of 1934“ begins a special five day stage engagement at the Emboyd Theatre, Fort Wayne. Indiana, Saturday, May Sth. The revue comes there from a triumphant stay on Broadway with the original cast of more than seventy of Harlem’s foremost singers, dancers and comedians intact. Heading the cast are Chilton and Thomas. Kathryn Perry, Eddie Hunter, Edith Wilson, Speedy Smith, j Blue McAllister, Worthy and Thompson, Louise Madison, Brady Jackson, Toni Ellis and Martha I Thomas. Featured are Cecil Mack's Choir, Pike Davis’ Continental Orchestra and the Blackbirds Dancing Chorus. “Blackbirds of 1934” is in eighteen colorful scenes staged and conceived by Lew Leslie, who annually produces a revue. His “Dixie to Broadway" and “The Plantation Revue”, with tlje late Florence Mills set new high standards for this type of entertainment that has veritably revolutionized Ethiopian extravangaza in the count! y. The first “Blackbirds” ran on Broad- ; way alone for almost two years and the second edition ran nearly as long “Rhapsody in Black” another I Leslie concoction, also set long run I records. The new "Blackbirds”, i however, Is in Mr. Leslie’s own ■opinion, his finest effort in the I theatre to date.

Crafty and shrewd were the Pharisees, Jewish legalists in the fullest sense of the word. “Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?" they asked of him. "Show me the tribute money,” Jesus replied. They handed him a denarius. ’’Whose image and superscription is this?” he asked. "That of Caesar," was the reply. "Render to Caesar those things that are his," Jesus announced.

i in Jerusalem, he found himself in the midst of a crowd of questioners who sought to entrap him. The Philistines and the Sadducees had i > combined In an effort to draw him i into some statement that could be . held against him either as blae- , phemy or as plotting to overthrow Caesar. For many believed that Christ contemplated setting up a , temporal kingdom and reclaiming . Jerusalem for the Jews. Knowing this as he did, Jesus, i escaped these efforts to entrap him. No pitfail, however cleverly devised, could he used to his disadvantage. In each instance, he , turned the tables on his questioners and left them baffled. ( i As we go through life, we are , i beset by pitfalls in everyday as- ■ | fairs. It is not that some are ‘ ’ plotting, as they did against | Christ, to cause our downfall. We I have the advantage in knowing j that the pitfalls are those of , sloth, dissipation, greediness and ] the many other faults that man kind is heir to. We know that if ; we are to succeed in making our j '[ existence worth while and In | establishing a reason for our being ‘ i here that we must escape these i' traps that stretch about us. 1 It is our duty as Christians to make the most of our lives, for, ' Christianity is something far wider and broader than the mere con- ‘ formation to a church and the ac- ' septance of a faith. We must ; practice that faith if we are to 1 really believe tn it and prove ourselves worthy of him who died on Calvary for our sakes. Christianity followed will help us all to avoid the pitfalls of life.

Epstein is being careful these days about how far he opens his win dows when he has patients in his dental chair. Recently, Dr. Epstein was fitting a gold crown for Paul Porter, 22. As he yanked out the tight-fitting crown, the small piece of gold flew out an open window. Dr. Epstein, the patient and newsboys, after a four-hour search, finally found the crown in a crevice in the sidewalk below. o Comparatively Cloee The moon la only 240,000 aUee •way from ua.

"But,” he continued, "Render unto God those things that are God’s." The tricksters knew that they were thwarted and went their way. Sadducees and Pharisees, who had participated in this questioning, now took council among themselves as to what question they might propound to place him in a position where they might charge him with blasphemy or treason.

His days were spent in (Jerusalem, for the ddeater part 1 disputing and teaching in the * I temple. 3. The Pharisees were the ’(Jewish legalists.

This is the greatest and first commandment, and a second like unto it is this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” 10.

"What is the great commandment in the law?” they asked. "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," Jesus replied. “This is the first great commandment and the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Then the plotters planned further evil against Jesus.
