And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the
gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which
this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."

The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and
they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus

PALM SUNDAY--THE DAY OF TRIUMPH.

THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY.

On the morrow when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
