From the viewpoint OF the Jew, the trial

cording to the law Of Moses. and. therefore.

unless he could prove that he was tina Son
of God" The foregoing was the conclusion
reached by Attorney ]. Frank Merryman
in his talk last night before the congrega-
ton of the West End Christian Church. on
THE Trial Of Jesus Christ from the Stand
point of a Lawyer
Mr.. Merryman prefaced his remarks with
the statement that no profession compelled
so thorough study of the Bible as that Of
a lawyer. Just before he reached his con-
GLIDING sentence, he urged that both sides
of the question be taken into consideration
and carefully weighed.
1t would seem from his hapdHug Of the
subject that he had given 1t careful
thought, for he reviewed the circumstances
leading up to and during the trial Of the
Savior ip concise but rapid manner. and
showed that the proceeding was Illegal &C.
cording to the same law by which Christ
was condemned.
Passages from the Old Testament were
read. which defined clearly what biasphemy
was and the penalty attached for the VIOLA
