served for offenders of a servile class and
never used for a Roman citizen. The hands
and feet of the victim Were nailed 10 the
wood. and a kind OF rude seat was provid-

the body from tearing through the flesh.
The exact spot where Jesus was crucified
can not now be identified. Golgotha was
probably some skull-shaped hill outside
the city wall Thither a strange process
sion wended its way-the condemned with
their crosses on their backs, the hard
hearted rabble making fun of them as they
passed. The strength of Jesus failed be-
fore the destination was reached. and an
other was compelled to carry the cross
for Him. This crucifixion. like all others,
was cruel Pnd barharous in the extreme.

earthly life. Those who suffered by cruel

Jesus lived about five hours. While hang

and because of the peculiar climate the lily

bulbs are planted in October, and, with the
exception of keeping the field clear of
weeds. the farmer has little difficulty in
raising his crop. He relies greatly upon the
rain and sunshine for success. With a
purely natural growth, the field bursts into
blossom about the latter part of February
or the first of April, and at Sunnylands, the
the largest of the big farms, just outside
of Hamilton, it is n common sight to see
100. GOO or more of the lilies in full bloom in
a single field.

upon the Sunday first after the fourteenth
day of the first Jewish month. but no gem

cycle by which the festival was to be reg
