lifts his baton. Suddenly all os
voices swell into one great chorus
they sing:

they sing:
Must Jesus bear the cross aioH'
And all the world go free' one.
NO; there's cross for every
And there's a cross for me- ,o.
While that great multitude is sln 80
ing turn " my companion anu or me-
"Who are these and whence t,o
they?" "These," she answers, av no N,
hosts Of heaven. Those in the as ,nn
are the members of the living nuil tho
race which are bending the knee " Il
name Of Jesus Christ. That cnol "I 4ho
the echo of PauPs valedictory IL u, IN
dungeon. This scene was deplcleu i.an
the superscription which was win lin
over the cross and which in the A~ -ao
language told the Jews that jesus ,ir
to be the temporal as well as Tue 0p pis
itual king" Oh, my brother anu o,r
ter, as Christ is some day to RUE p p
sonally over the two hemisphere oI trv
not you and l, by consecrated llVe0 go
to hasten this glorious millennlai Va.
Shall not our voices be lifted III pl%ioI,
so that they shall some day ana 'n, ad

The Message of the Cross -
But the Hebrew superscript1on OusTt
to be the most important to US an 80
ought to be the most important "
cause the Hebrew language has al"a'p
been the symbol Of Gods prolec'ins
and pardoning love. The HeOle"s
were Gods favored people. 3d. "n.A
we read the superscription oil tle Vi03'
in the Hebrew tongue, God seems ~
say to us as individuals Il have SEM
my only begotten Son into the "oi'i
that by his blood you may be paruoneu
of your sins and become part Oh my
new kingdom" We might believe lliaI
Christ is the Son of God. We nisnC
even believe that some day ne snali
rule from sea to sea- but that Dellet
will not make him our individual Mig
and Saviour unless we can READ our
atonement in his death and his resur-
rectiOn, which was by symbol WrllteH
in the Hebrew inscription nailed upon
the top of the cross Can you not anu
will you not, by the Hebrew message
believe and. accept the statement tnaI
Jesus Christ died to save you as lnul-
viduals? He died to save you, on man.
oh, woman, just as though you were
the only sinner in all the universe.
BY the Hebrew superscription nailed
to the cross | proclaim universe par
don and salvation for all sinners. Jesus
Christ once said, "As Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness even so
must the Son of Man be lifted up" SO
today lift high the Hebrew superscrlp-
ton of the cross cry out in the words
of Reyelations THE Spirit and the Bride
say come, and let him that heareth say
come, and let him that is athirst come,
and whatsoever will let him come and
take of the water of life freely Sin
ner, today, through the atonement as
proclaimed in the Hebrew superscrip-
ton, will you come and worship the
Christ of the intellect, the Christ Of
coming universal domain, and also the
Christ who died that we might all have
a part in his future ruleShip?
Would that we might one and all be
able to interpret the three superscrip-
tions over the cross in the way that the
dying Christians tried to interpret
them. The watcher by@ tss bedside
heard her mother whisper: Bring!
Bring!" The daughter said to the dying
woman, "Mother, what shall bring?"
"Oh," answered the dying woman.
Bring! Bring" Then the daughter
asked again, but, mother, what shall
[ bring" "Why" cried the dying wo-
man, bring forth the royal diadem
and crown him Lord of ALL" May we
one and all, by the blood of Jesus
Christ, which was shed for sin, crown
Christ King of the heart, King Of the
head and King Of the two hemispheres.
May we crown him a King of heaven
and of earth, even as the superscription
over the cross declared in three differ
ent languages that Christ was the King
IF the Jews.
