the failure Of our Courts to punish

CLOSE OF THE LENTEN SEASON.


The close of the Lenten season is at
hand and today all christendom ccm
memorates Good Friday, the annlVef-
sarv of the sacrifice upon the cross
This day nearly nineteen hundred
wears ago, the Divine Master made Inc
forgiveness of sin and transgressloh
possible by his atonement upon Cal
vary. Today we look upon the cross
and recall the agony of Him who sui
fered so for our sakes. We hear again
the last words sit is finished" and
know that the bitter cup has passed
and that the terror of the law no long
er exists. We follow the Sacred body
to the holy sepulchre, and turning
therefrom we wait and watch for the
first heralding of the Easter anthem,
"Christ is risen" Our nation today
is cast over with the horrors OF antlcl-
pated war, and the whole world seems
at unrest, In the government OF men
by man there seems to be something
lacking whereby the harmony OF the
whole is disturbed. Is there some
thing ominous in the extensive arma-
ment of the kingly powers? is there
not too much stress laid upon the ac-
QUESTION OF earthly dominion and the
power of sordid gain?
These anniversaries of the Cross
should remind us of the king OF
Kings" and the" Prince of Peace, " and
at e time when the sword is about to
be drawn in war, we should not at the
same time lose sight Of
THE sword of the spirit,
The word of life,
Unsheath it now, and strong in trusting
bear it
Into the strife.
Let doubt and toul oppression fall be-
meath it,
Nor rest at ease,
Till Prince Emmanuel returns to sheath i
And there Ge peace"
