Reckless ‘n her grief, Jesus‘ mother had pressed close to the cross. In his dying agony, his care for his widowed mother was his one earthly .hought. "Woman, behold thy son," said he, looking at the disciple whom he loved. In the word transiatâ€" ed "woman" there is no harshness such as the English suggests. Symâ€" bolically the incident is taken hat Jesus commends his mother, the Jewâ€" ish church, the ancient faith which gave birth to Christianity, into the keeping of the Christian believers. What was valuable and permanent in Judaism row passes over into Chr‘sâ€" tianity: The "mother" of Jesus dwe!ls in the house of his disciple. IIl. TH®E FINISHED TASK, 19;: 28â€"30. Then comes the triumphant "It is finished." What did he accomplish in his finished work? He bore our sins. (a) he was the victim of sin‘s deadly hostilit. (b) he bore our sins on his conscience. He identified himself with men in their suffeâ€"ing, their need, their corporate guilt. He was underâ€" going the Cross long before he found himself on Calvary. (c) He bears our sin away, not in the sense that another shoulders a legal debt for another, but by demonstrating to us a love that swallows up sin and destroys it.

Science cares nothing for manâ€"made laws, timeâ€"honored cusâ€" toms, ‘or cherished beliefs. Science has laid hold of us, conscripted us {nto regiments, set us to work upon its highways and in its arsenals; rewardâ€" ed us for our services, healed us when we were young, pensioned us when. we were worn out. f as much anxiety and probably as much reason as he avoided the fieree fleshâ€" eating beasts that shared his forests. Gradually, however, the advantages of coâ€"operation <became evident. _ For hundreds of years man worked toâ€" gether to utilize his own muscular efâ€" forts. But another era dawned when he learned how to harness the forces of Nature. Methods of production and communication were speeded up. The great mass of human beings abâ€" sorbed in the toils, cares and activiâ€" ties of life, are only dimly congcious of the pace at which mankind is travelâ€" ing. Enormous changes have taken place in the last hundred. years. < The pace is ever quickening. <Our century has witnessed an enormous revéelation in material things, in scientific appliâ€" ances, in political institutons, in manâ€" ners and . customs. The greatest change of all is the least.perceptible by individualsâ€"it is the~ far greater numbers which in every civilized counâ€" try participate in the fuller life of man. A i4 By Winston Churchill; inâ€"the Strand Magazine (December, 1931) The most wonderful of all modern prophecies is found in Tennyson‘s "Locksley Hall." For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw a vision of the world, and.all the wonder that would be; ' Saw the heavens filled with commerce, argosies ~ magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down withâ€"costly bales; Man in his" earlifest stages lived ilone and avoided his neighbors with heard the heavens filled with shoutâ€" ing, and there rained a ghastly dew y From the nations‘ airy armies grapâ€" pling in the central blue; Far along the worldâ€"wideâ€" whisper of the south wind rushing warm, With the standardsâ€"of: the peoples plunging _ thro‘ the thunderâ€" storm ; + Till the warâ€"drum throbb‘s no. longer, and the battleâ€"flags were furl‘d, In the Parliament of man, the Federaâ€" tion of the world. There are two processes which we adopt consciously or unconsciously when we try to prophesy. We can seek a period in the past whose conâ€" ditions resemble as closely as possible those of our day, and presume that the sequel to that period, save for some minor alterations, will be similar. Secondly, we can survey the general course of development in our immediâ€" ate past, and endeavor to prolong it into the near future. The first is the method of the historian; the second, that of the scientist. Only the second is open to us now, and that only is a partial sphere. But, obviously all that Science has achieved in modern times, and the knowledge and power now in her possession, we can predict with some assurance the inventions and discoveries which will govern our fuâ€" ture. We can but guess what reactions these discoveries and their applicaâ€" tions will produce upon the habits, outâ€" look and spirit of men. Slowly comes a hungry people, as a lion, creeping nigher, (ilares at one that nods and winks beâ€" hind a slowly dying fire, These six stanzas of prediction, writâ€" ten eighty years ago, have already been fulfilled. Fifty Years Hience Toâ€"day man can control great forces Hitherto the production of food has been the prime struggle of man. That war is won. . There is no doubt that civilized races can produce or procure all the food they require. . Our problem toâ€"day is that the white man produces more wheat tha., he needs, but the yelâ€" low men, brown men and black men haye not yet learned to demand and become able to purchase .a, diet superiâ€" or to rice, â€" Synthetic food will, ‘of courge, be used in the future. But we shall not have to face an existence of tabloid food. "â€"Instead, ‘Jour present food will be prepared, but in a.synâ€" thetic manner, _ We shall hardly be able to detect any difference between the synthetic foods of the future aqd the natural foods of toâ€"day. f It is possible to control accurately from the bridge of aâ€"battleâ€"cruiser all the power of hundreds of thousands of men. Or to set off with one finger a mine capable in an instant of destroyâ€", ing the work of thousands of manâ€" years: These immense new sources of power, and the fact that they can be wielded by a single individual, have made possible novel methods of minâ€" ing and metallurgy, new methods of transport, and undreamed of machinâ€" ery. _ Undoubtedly the.evolution of which they are the present outcome will continue at an increasing rate. Greater speed is assured. We are promised, too, new and greater sources of power. It may well be possible .to change the face of the world to exâ€" tents of which we have not yet dreamâ€" Equally startling developments lie already just beyond our fingerâ€"tips in the breeding of human beings, and in the shaping of human nature. There seems little doubt that it will be posâ€" sible to carry out .the entire . cycle which leads to the.birth of a child in artificial surroundings. _ Interference withâ€"the mental development of such beings, expert suggestion and treatâ€" ment in earlier years, would produce beings specialized to thought or. toil, Our minds recoil from the creation of beings who are capable of tending a machine, but without other ambiâ€" tions, and the laws of Christian civiliâ€" zationâ€" will prevent them. _ But lopâ€" sided creatures of this type might fit in well with the Communist doctrines of Russia,. Future races may see new powers in the hands of altogether new and diffierent men to those to which we of toâ€"day are accustomed. But while men have been gathering knowledge and power with everâ€"inâ€" creasing and measureless speed, their virtues and their wisdoms have not shown any notable development as the centuries have passed. The brain of modern man does not differ in essenâ€" tials from that of the human beings who lived and loved here millions of years ago. The nature of man has reâ€" mained hitherto practically unchanged. Under sufficient stress â€" starvation, terror, warlike passion, or even cold intellectual frenzyâ€"the modern man we know so well will do the most terâ€" rible deeds, and modern woman will back him up. â€" At the present the civilizations of many different agesâ€"coexist together in the world, and their representatives meet and converse. Englishmen, French and Americans; with ideas abreast of the twentieth century, do business with Chinese and Indians whose civilizations were crystallized several thousand years ago. We have the spectacle of powers and weapons of man far outstripping his intelliâ€" gence; we have the march of his inâ€" telligence proceeding far more rapidly than the march of his nobility, We may well find ourselves in the preâ€" sence of "the strength of civilization without its mercy." Therefore, it is important above all other things, that the moral and spiritual conceptions of men and. of nations hold their own amid these formidable scientific evolutions. Otherâ€" wise it would be better to call a halt in material progress. Away with the flimsy idea that life with a past is attended, There‘s Nowâ€"only Nowâ€"and no Past there‘s never a past; it has ‘ _ ended, Away with its obsolete story and all of its yesterd© . sorrow; There‘s only toâ€"day, almost gone, and in front * toâ€"day stands toâ€"morâ€" row. 4 Pardon To endure and to pardon is the wisâ€" dom of life.â€"Koran.
