The history of the trial and con-
demnation and execution OF Jesus
Christ. no doubt, shows clearly that
the proceedings were conducted under
Pontius PLATE, the Roman governor
Of Judea. Mr.. McDermott says;
This seems certain; the Jews did
not have power 10 put Christ to death.
and Pontlus PLATE did not care any
thing about the religious controversies
Of the Jews. II Is certain that Christ
was accused of treason. and II Is cer-
tain that he was executed by Roman
soldiers"
That Is undoubtedly correct. But
he honorable gentleman does not give
the full account Of the occurrence,
which shows that tho Jews did have
much to do with the tragedy. II is
stated that when Jesus was arrested
"They that had laid hold on Jesus led
Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest,
where the scribes and the others we're
assembled After Jesus had been
questioned and refused TO reply, but
prophesled as 10 Hts coming In the
clouds Of heaven, It Is written further:
"Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, He hath spoken bias
phemy: what further need have We of
witnesses? Behold now we have heard
His hlasphemy, What think yc2 They
answered and said, He Is guilty OF
death. Then did they spit IN His face
and buffeted Him. and others smote
Him with the palms Of their hands
when the morning was come. all the
chief priests and elders OF the people
took counsel against Jesus 10 put Him
10 death, and when they had bound
Him they led Him away and delivered
Him TO Pontius plate. the governor"

Thef tell a story of an unfortunate
Partisan society woman who, being ter

great occasion, sold seven gowns for
the price Of one to Nine. X. Among
these gowns was one hardly rumpled
and which, though very magnificent,
had evidently been worn at most only
once. This dress Nine. X. sold as
model to Nine. Y, who was the society
womans dressmaker and who had
been Obdurate about making another
thing for the poor little woman with
out cash down. When this model
came in she saw a chance for big re-
turn Of money, so she compromised
with her customer and agreed to let
her have a new dress, just imported,
for very low figure. Whereat the
DOOR little woman paid all the money
she had received for all her dyesses and
out Nine. Y. brought the model. The
Door woman talked herself blue in the
face. but she could not say anything
to protect herself without betraying
her dealing with Nine. ", so, poor
thing. she danced in her old frOck

Gowns for the privilege.
