SUNDA Y SCHOOL L E S SjO iV LESSON 23 FRIDAY: THE DAY OF SUFFERING (II) (Chriit'i Word, on th. Crosi. ) Luke 23:33-46; Mark 15:33,34 (Compare John 19:25-30) GOLDEN TEXT. He wa. wounded for our transgreuiont, he wa* bruited for our iniquitie*) the chmatUement of our peace wa* upon him; and with his stripe* we are healed. Isaiah 53:5. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. Friday, April 7, A.D. 30. Place. The place called Cal- vary. The Crucifixion 33 (a.)" And when they came unto the place which is called the skull, there they crucified him. 33(10. And the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left." Some have thought that the place was so called be- cause it was a low, rounded emin- ence in the shape of a skull. Others have thought that it wa* given this name because there- dead bodies were thrown. Thw two men crucified on each side of our Lord were robbers, pcr- ons of very evil character. Prayer For Forgivenet* 34 (a). "And Jesus said, Father forgive them: for they know not what they do." We must surely tuppose that the prayer was ut- tered, not only for the Roman soldiers, who were the mere in- struments of the executioners, but for all His enemies. 34 (b). "And parting his gar- ments among them, they cast lots." Selfishness here seems concentrated out of this ter- rible event, they were determined to personally profit, in the ac- quisition of property, no matter how insignificant its value. The Gazing People 35(a). "And the people stood beholding." Jesus had spoken of thorn as being without a shep- herd, and many of them had com* to hope that perhaps He was their Shepherd. Could they but see, He was indeed the good shepherd and in the mystery of the Cross, he was laying down His life for kh em. The Scoffing Ruleri 35 (b). "And the rulers also ttoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him saVe himself, If this is the Christ of God his chosen." Th very faot that these supposedly religious men, fehe rulers of the Jews, member* of the Sanhedrin, could cait such words at one who had never don* anything but good, offers ade- quate evidence that these men were not seeking justice. Notice) that they did not insult the wicked malefactors but wer* casting these words at One who nev*r dirt anything but that which pleased the Father. IK. Mocking Soldier* 36. "And the soldiers aUo mocked him, coming to him, of- fering him vinegar. 37. and say- ing, If thou art the King of th Jew*, Have thyself." It wa* the duty of these solders to watoh him because sufferer* sometimes lingered alive on the cross for days. All tones* insults took place during th earlier part of the crucifiction, and before the awful darkness came on. The soldiers would delight in the** taunts, because like the ancient*, penenillv, they detested the Jews. Tumults of th most violent kind often aroae .rom the brutl ^sc- ience f halfi i! which *.h?y shove J to the conquered nation. The Supericription 38. "And there was also a sup- erscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews'." We hear nothing about inscriptions for the malefactors. Not, however, till Jesus was crucified did the in- scriptions appear and were the Jews aware of it and of the writ- ing it bore. The Dyeing Thief 89. "And one of the malefac- tors that were hanged railed on him, saying, 'Art not thou the Christ? Save thyself and us.' 40. Hut the other answered, and rebuking him said, 'Do.st thou not even fear Uod, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41. And we indeed justly; for we receive the due award of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42, And he said, JISUK, remember me when thou comcat in thy kingdom". Here Is one of the most remarkable passage* of all the Scriptures. This one malefactor, called the 'repentant thief believed iu God. Most criminals cry out in the day of their condemnation that they are innocent, hut this man said ha was guilty. He believed Jesus to be innocent. This thief had real faith in Christ: did not plead any merit of his own. lie flung himself utterly on the mr- cjr of Chriut. Promiie Of Salvation 43. "And he said unto him, 'Verily I say unto thee, today halt Uiou be with me in Para- FUTURISTIC FIREMAN Looking like something out of a tortured dream, asbestos-clad fireman fights blaze somewhere in Britain. Suits were gifts to English from Americans. dlse'." In our Lord's gracious response to the thief's request we have a striking illustration of how Divine grace exceeds human expectations. The thiet prayed that the Lord would re- member him in his coming king- dom, but Christ assures him that before that very day had passed he shoud be with the Saviour in Paradise. Not only does Christ'* reply signify the survival of the soul after dath of the body, but it tells u that the believer is with him during the interval that divides death from the resurrec- ton. 1 li Darknoi 44, "And it wa* now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And the veil of the temple was rent in the midst." The darkness served as a mantel for the sufferer, to cover him from the scoffing and violence of His enemies. Cry From Tba Crou 34. "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, 'Eloi, Kin,, lama sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, 'My God, My God, why.hast thou for- saken me'? 46. And Jesus, cry- ing with a loud voice, said, 'Fa- ther, into Thy hands 1 commend my spirit', and having suid this .he gave up the ghost." The loud voice with which Christ spoke in- dicates that Christ did not die of exhaustion, but that he main- tained fullness of strength and power to the very end. The word "Father" shows that Jesus' soul has recovered and the darkness gone. WELL-KNOWN STAR HORIZONTAL 1 Stage and radio star. 8 He specializes in . 12 Rowing tool. 13 Fold.

Farm Experiment Achieves Success Pool Labor and Equipment To Save Time and Money Three farmers in Biddulph Township have solved farm prob- lems so successfully they deserve more than passing mention, claims the London Free Press. They have put into practice the best laid theories of the economist and the "Co-Ops' 1 publicists, and made them work. By pooling their labor and equipment they have found success in farming. They have discovered a way to save time, money and effort. They have produced new crops and new cash revenues. What began as an experiment born of continuous hard times and years of lean earnings, has developed into profits and satis- faction. They are independent farmers, each on his own land, each growing the crops he wishes, yet by teamwork they have proved how successfully farm co- operation can be practised. This is the very kernel of democracy, the solution of problems from the ground up. This trio of farmers near Gran- ton Joe Kelly, Delbert Morley and Charlie Jones have built a mutual trust association on the lines of the old-fashioned farm "bee." If they had a business title it might be something like "Neighbors Ltd." They have made the good, solid word neigh- bor mean something in terms of better living. The story of this achievement shows that Charlie Jones cleared more than $1,000 from turnips, that Del Morley found time to go into turkeys "in a big way." Th three have been neighbors for almost a quarter of a century but it was only a year ago they de- cided to be partners as well. They seed, cultivate and harvest as one. They till larger acreage and work it better. Out of mutual confid- ence and labor, by using one an- other's horses, tractors and equip- ment, they have built a profit- able farming business. What they have done thousands of other Canadian farmers could do. BOOK SHELF BRIGHT TO THE WANDERER By Bruce Lancaster Into the turbulent Canadian Rebellion of 1837 young Gil Stensrood plunged, with the con- viction that the corrupt cliqu* (known as the Compact) then representing the Crown must be crushed. With a price on his head, Gil could only rely on the girl h loved and his Yankee cousin Josiah. But he played his part with full vigor as soldier, spy, prisoner of the Crown, and scout for William I. yon Mackenzie. But Gil was only part of the grand and colorful Stensrood family. Grandfather Barnabas and Gil's father were United Km- pire Loyalists from New York State. They and Gil, and all Stensrood men, were big and gentle, and tough when aroused. And as Barnabas said, "They al- ways did marry pretty women." The Canadian Rebellion was carried forward by the same driv- ing force which had been behind the American Revolution the same fundamental urge which cements North America today. And from it, slowly came Can- ada's Dominion status. Alive with romance, action, and scenes shifting from Toronto to Buffalo, Albany, and Quebec, this exciting novel expresses in concrete terms the jealousy with which free men eternally guard their rights.
