“THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER”
For thirty pieces of silver Judas betrayed Jesus. That act
and its result have ever since made his memory distasteful and
his name infamous. The New Testament never mentions Judas
without referecene to this deed. And, it is probable that no one
has thought of him in over 1900 years except in this connection.
But, while the act of Judas was unique in its results, it was
not in its motivation. Judas had a love for money which had
already caused him to steal from the common fund of Christ and
the other Apostles (John 12:6; cp. 13:29). Apparently, Judas
did not know that his act would result in Jesus’s death, though
it undoubtedly would expose him to danger and harm (Matt.
27:3-5). For thirty pieces of silver he was willing to do this to
one who never did harm to any man, but “who went about doing
good” (Acts 10:38).
The “pieces of silver” given to Judas were each worth about
four of the Roman “denarius,” or approximately eighty cents
each. The thirty pieces of silver were worth less than twenty five
dollars. However, a “denarius” was the average daily pay of a
laboring man (Matt. 20:9, 10). We have a proper conception,
then, of their value when we think of them as worth 120 days’
wages of a laborer.
How many of Christ’s other professed followers betray him
for that amount, or for much less ? When people put “mammon”
before God, practice deceit for financial gain, manifest a covetous
attitude, alllow riches to choke out the word or a desire for them
to lead away from the faith, or fail to give as they have pros
pered to accomplish the Lord’s work, do they not betray Christ
for money, and, in effect, steal from him? Judas was not the last
disciple of Christ with an inordinate desire for money, or who
employed ungodly means to obtain it. Beware lest you betray
your soul as well as your Savior for thirty pieces of silver.
We invite you to our Bible classes and other services at 9:30
a. m., 10:30 a. m., and 6:00 p. m. on Sundays, and at 7:30 p. m.
on Wednesdays.

the master’s or doctoral level.
The course concentrates on
problems of written communica

during preregistration
April 23-27
The Aggieland is now offered on an optional basis, rather
than being included in student services fees. This means
you should request that a copy be ordered for you when
you preregister. All you have to do is check the “yes” box
beside the appropriate entry on your Housing Authoriza
tion card, and payment will be included in your total state
ment for room and board, tuition and related fees.
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE-ORDER NOW

a copy of the yearbook. Do it now and be glad for years to come.)

The Housing Authorization Card also includes provisions for the standard $2 fee for
students desiring to have their individual picture published in the yearbook.
with a hurry-up schedule and a
mountain of work before its late
May adjournment deadline.
The House plodded for days
through stacks of mainly-fore
doomed amendments before pass
ing its $9.7 billion appropriations
bill.
A $9.5 billion version of the
state budget for 1974-75, mean
while, zipped through the Senate
finance committee and was ex
pected to pass quickly and
smoothly.
Since both houses were ready
to bow to Gov. Dolph Briscoe’s
demand for a no-new-taxes ap
propriations bill, little hangup is
seen for budget conferees in clos
ing days of the session.
Main differences in the House
and Senate spending bills lie in
the area of public welfare, and
that is a fast-changing field, con
sidering federal funding laws are
subject to Washington agency
interpretation.
While the budget remains the
principal job unfinished, there
are numerous other major pieces
of legislation awaiting action.
They include:
*Code of ethics and lobby con
trol strengthening.
*Election measures.
’•'A sweeping variety of envir
onmental bills.
*Penal code revision.
*The newsmen’s “shield law”
to protect information sources,
which is stalled in a conference
committee, with conferees at odds
over whether courts should be
empowered to force disclosure.
*Overhaul of the school fi
nance system to benefit poor dis
tricts — a job which almost cer
tainly will be left to a later legis
lature.
