TBE CANADIAN 8TATMAN, BOWMANVILL, T'i mR.rnA. TWVRh c. JESUS ON THE CROSS Sunday, June llth Golden Text: "But God commend- etr bis love towerd us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-Romans 5:8. Lesson Passage: Mark 15: 22-39. Thou who art so prone to meesure Perfect life by ceaseless pleasure, Thînk upon the Haly Cross. Be the cross thy contemplation Througb unwearled meditetion, Counting all tbings eIse as bast. -Bonaventura. Courage on the Cross, 22, 23 Over two months have passed since Good Friday when we com- memorated Christ's death upon the cross during Passion Week. This lsson, bowever .is not inappropri- ate amid the splendor o! June for tpe cross is at the heart o! life. Gamaliel Bradford spoke of I"this beautiful bideous world"; evil end good go bend in hand. The czoss cambined cruelty and courage. Jes- us was brought to Golgotha, the place o! a skull. the place o! execu- tions. and he transfigured ifs hor- ror by an act o! subline courage. It was the custom o! a guild of kind Jewisb women to provide a drink cont.aining a stupefying drug to deaden the pain o! criminals in the deatb throes by crucifixion. This was affered to Jesus and lie refused to take ItL He would face deatb with consciousness undimmed. Sensitive above others, be would bear the wbole pain. Tliougb Christ died o! a broken beart, be would not lessen1 the "pains be bad te bear." Contrasts of the Cross, 24-28 While Christ was suffering upon -the cross, the Roman soldiers gam-j bled for bis garments. To them iti wes aIl in the day's work and tbey1 were bardened ta tregedy. Over thei cross was written the inscriptioni 'The King o! the Jews,' while the1 King o! kings was dying a deetb o! shame. Jesus wes crucified betweenj two thieves, the sinless anc with a1 criminel on eitber side. The RomanJ soldiers cared more for Cbrlst's gar-1 ments than bis gospel. Pilate chose 1 I OBITUARY I an inscription that would taunt the nationalistic Jews; he cared flot that Jesus was the victini of bis Jest. Death by crucifixion was regarded as the lowest shame, yet Jesus bad to endure the added refinement of the torture of dying between two chiminals. The writer of the story did flot try to soften the details; lie lets these cruel contrasts stand out in bold relief. Christ was nuniber- ed with the transgressors, or as Dr. Moffatt translates: "He was classed among crimninals." Chailenged on the Cross, 29-32 Having endured insuits durmng bis hurried trials, Jesus could not es- cape the taunts of bis enemies even in bis dying hours. The passers-by wagged their heads at him and cast up to hini bis word about rebuilding the temple in tbree days. The chief priests also joined the scribes in mocking him. saying, "He saved others, himself be cannot save." What they uttered as an insult bas become higb eulogy. Christ could save others, but he would not save hiniseif f rom pain. The two thieves also reviled hini. Their action may be forgiven because o! their pain, but let us not f orget that the others who taunted him were religious men, the religiou~s leaders o! their day. They would not have Jesus crucified within the city walls lest the city be ceremonially deflled. Yet outside the gates they could enjoy the spec- tacle o! the death o! the Son of Man. To such lengths o! bard heartedness and moral unbalance can religlous preJudice lead. The Cry from the Cross, 33-38 Words are clumsy tools wlth whicb to describe the pathos o! the cross. The sun was darkened, even Nature seeming to sense the gloom. Jesus cried out in words taken from the twenty-second Psalni, "My God, my Oo>d. why hast tbou forsaken me?" Those standing by misunder- stood bis wards. Then wtb another loud cry, the end came, and tbe veil o! the temple was rent f rom top to bottom. Into Christ's imner feeling in that last hour of angulsb we can- not enter because we are neither good enougb nor sympatbetic en- ough to understand all that it meant to Jesus. Dld lie actually feel that even God had forsaken bum or were the words of the Psalm an expression of !aith in that the Psahin wins througb to triumphant faith? Whicbever interpretation is taken, Cbrist's cry !rom the cross la filled witb a spiritual distresa great- Mrs. Ormisten, wife o! J. H-.

Jesus. One Roman soidier, hoWever, was able te appreciate in some degiree, et least, the signifIficance o! wbat lied happened. Doubtless tbis centurion lied seen many prisoners die, but Jesus met deatb dlfferently and tbe centurion said, "Truly tbis man was a Son o! Qod." The centurion's confession o! faitb was the pre- cursor o! many in the Roman Em- pire. Several centuries later e Ro- man emperor accepted Cliristlanity. On Calvary's mound the Roman eagle seemed supreme. but time was on the aide o! the cross. liow odd that on a common ilîl Beyond a rebble town, That there a felon cross should spill The Roman Empire down.
