Beyond the city's walls and crowning a lonely hill stood three crosses. On two were hung the bodies of common thieves. On the middle cross, cruelly pinned by nails in hands and feet, was the, One who had brought a new meaning into the lives of many. He had touched their hearts and opened their minds. To be in His presence was to feel that life could be beautiful and worth while. He had spoken of God as His. father, our father. He had healed the sick and com- torted the sorrowing, Himself he could not save. Even Nature seemed to cry out agdinst the deed which had been done that day. The sun's face was obscured and in that eerie light men could no longer bear to look upon the centre cross. They who had mocked and jeered were now smitten with fcar and re- turning to the city, they beat upon their breasts. Surely the forces of religious bigotry and intolerance had tri- umphed, The Nazarene who had talked about the Fatherhood *of of God and the brotherhood of man had been done#to death by legal means and with him would perish his disturbing teachings. What right had ideas about sympathy, love, purity and peace to exist in a world which bad, since the dawn.of time, been ruled by the right of might, the doctrine of the strong arm, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, It was a saddenéd, weary and dismayed little band of followers, who, fearful possibly of further persecution, gathered for mutual comfort and sympathy in Jerusalem. They fad lost their beloved Master and with his crucifixion had perished their fond ambition for the re-establishment of the ancient Kingdom of the Jews, In a few days they would return to their native villages, to their wives and families and again resume the common tasks of life that they might wear off the sharpness of their sorrow. If the cross had written the last chapter in the life of Jesus, there would have been no Christ as far as the rest of the world was concerned. His disciples would never forget Him but His name would sogn have become nothing lmt a tradition, part of the folk- lore of Galilee. And Galilee is only a small parg of a small country. jut they saw their risen Lord! For the first time came the full amazing realization that Jesus was the Son of God. Overwhelming joy replaced despair, Christ had triumphed over the grave, victory had been won over those rces which would prevent man from climbing ever onward and ad to better and finer things. In their hearts and minds was kindled faith and hope which have since illumined the whole world. For us too, fairth and hope may spring up again at Easter time. In the renewal of our determination to be true followers of the Master, we may experience that peace of mind and joy which comes fo fhase who are at least trying to help in the building up of God's Kingdom.

Dr. Wm. Axling, one of the mission- aries in Tokyo, recently quoted from an outstanding Buddhist daily paper in Kyoto which stated that this cam- paign was "one of the best movements that have ever been launched in the country." The same missionary ex- plains the character of the work, now making great headway, as an effort to "humanize and Christianize the social and industrial order and make Jesus' way of life the form of every relationship." The statistics of the country are given as 30,000,000 farm- ers; 5,279,000 industrial and factory workers; 597,000 fisher folk; 459,000 miners; 1,033,000 transport workers, and 1,158,000 toilers in the public ser- vice. Hence, with the million Christians which the Movement aims to win, the Japanese church prays that it may become a creative force which shall fix the ideals and set the pace in every phase of the nation's life. With such a church Japan will be setting an example to the rest of Christendom. a The Wesleyans in Great Britain are threatened with a deficit in their mission funds . In an appeal for in- creased offerings the following chal- lenging words are printed--""God's blessing on our work abroad creates this need of money at home."

C. B, Ellis, a young Methodist minis- ter in Ireland, fell from his bicycle and lay for some time on the frosty road unconscious, but is recovering. In First Presbyterian Church, Ed- monton, an All-Day Peace Conference was held. Dr. Roxburgh held that some wags were justifiable but Prin- cver seen in Belfast, Two years ago cigal Tuttle of St, Stephen's United College thought that now was the day when some strong nation should say in the face of attack that it had laid down all its weapons, and would not lift them were it to be martyred on the spot. He hoped that Great Britain would take that stand. Rev. Dr. J. B. Silcox, of Montreal, has been visiting a former charge, Beecher Church, in the London Con- ference, Although 84, he preached with remarkable vigor and acceptance. The Missionary and Maintenance Fund of the United Church of Can- ada is $42,000 in advance of last year, Five out of the 11 Conferences show slight increases, the three western bodies, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, being below their record. Newfoundland made an in- crease of $57,000, while in Ontario the only one to come short is Bay of Quinte. Montreal and Ottawa Cone ference made the greatest gain, namely, about $48,000. Toronta Cop~ ference is at the head of the list, with nearly $492,000 contributed, or almost one-fourth of the total,
