"Jesus entered ami was passing
through Jericho'" (v. 1), one of the
most noted cities of Bible history* ^
had been the stronghold of the Canaan-
Ites, standing squarely across the Jor-
dan, taken by the marching pitcher-
bearers of Joshna (Josh. <5), the city
where Hahab experienced salvation
through her faith (Heb. It
was fitting that Jesus shonld pass
through the Jericho of his own day,
for a new xtoory was to be experi-
enced through faith—the conversion of
JCscchaens.
1. Z*cch*eus Seeking Jesus (vv. 2-4).
This man, a tax-collector for the Ro-
man power, had heard that Jesus
was kind to publicans ; for had he
not had mercy on Matthew? Curiosity
seized htm ; he must see what manner
of man Jesus was. Who can know
how many have been led to find Ohrist
through the exercise of curiosity. The
citizens of a city are drawn to a chnrch
or a tabernacle throngh the growing
interest of a revival campaign. Curi-
osity widens, becoming the ini8al mo-
tive in many who later "have taith in
Christ to the saving of their souls.
1. His difficulties (w. 2, S>. His in-
famous business was a handicap, at
least in the eyes of the populace. The
very fact that a Jew shonld "hold office
under the hated Soman power worilS
make him extremely unpopular. His
riches condemned "him. The tact that
he had acquired much wealth in this
calling pointed to extortion in the col-
lection of taxes. He was unpopular :
"he was ^pushed aside.
The shortness -of "his stature (v. S)
•was a handicap, but not so great a one
as his spiritual state. He doubtless bad
been pushed about much of his life
and had built up an attitude of mind
that now manifested itself.
2. His persistence (v. 4) stood Mm in
good stead, if too short to see, lie was
not too timid to climb. He had been
obliged to climb all his life. Always
obstacles traced before him lie "bad
brushed aside, Or had climbed over
them, If * desired goal lay beyond.
"Sow, the goal was a sight of Jesus,
and "he climbed. Though the rich man
of -town, he would not let sprifle "keep
him from the nndigniSed act of getting
up among the branches of yonder tree,
for Jesus was to pass hy.
!!. Jesus Finttlno Zaeehaeut (rv. 5,
«).
"While Zaecbaeus was trying to «ee
Jesus, Jesus wss looking for him, «s
always he Is looking for the seeking
soul. With no word that would em-
barrass or humiliate him, Jesns bade
liim come down from the tree, and de-
-clared his intention to go with him to
his home. How wonderful Is grace,
that regardless of one's past life Jesus
will receive the seeker as a friend and
enter into fellowship with him. Zac-
chaeus did not hesitate, "bnt made haste
to -come down, and with joy opened
his door to the new-found Friend.
III. Zsechaeus'Conversion (tt. 7-10).
His conversion was sadden and thor-
ough. He was converted before lie
reached the ground.
1. What the crowd -said (v. 7) was
characteristic: they murmured and
■siiic that Jesus had -gone to be gust
of a man who is a -sinner. They could
not think of his sin in the past tense,
but said is instead of was. Jesus for-
gives and forgets. He ''came to seel;
and save that which was lost," and be
"remembers our -sins against us no
more forever."
-2. The proof of conversion (v. S)
was immediate and Satisfying. His new
life was begun with 'resolution and
restitution. He dedicated half his
goods to the poor. ® "he before had
been a grafter, "he WSS now a generous
giver. He was ready to -untangle the
skein of tax irregularities. While God
forgets the past, he nevertheless ex-
pects the forgiven -sinner to make res-
titution wbere .possible.
IV. Honesty In God's House (tt
•45-43).
If honesty must be-exacted from pub-
licans and sinners, much more should
it bo reqnired of those who have to do
with the worship of God. It is easy
to condemn those who made capital
out of the requirements of temple wor-
ship in .Jesus' day; it is not so easy to
condemn these Who use the Chnrch of
Cteris: as a stepping stone to personal
profit and political preferment "Judg-
ment must begin at the house of God"
(I Pet. 4:17).

While embers gloweij
the reconstruction
started
Before the flames had reached the telephone switch,
board in the little Arkansas town—before the
swirling wall of smoke had driven operators from
their posts — plans for rebuilding the fire-doomed
office were under way.
At a great warehouse in a distant city, men were
loading a new switchboard, new telephone cable,
new office equipment, into express cars. Nearer to
the spot, cable splicers and workmen skilled in tele-
phone construction were being taken from their jobs
and rushed toward the office about to be destroyed
by fire.
While embers still glowed in the fire-twisted j
skeleton of the old office, the work of reconstruction |
was under way.
One-advantage of the Bell System's far-fit
organization is this: When disaster flattensthc 1
telephone system, men and money and matenalsare f
instantly available for the prompt repair of the
damage.
