THE cRUcrFIxIoN

The quadruple description OF the
crucifixion is a literary marvel.
Though a circumstances of trans
cendent importance, the narrative
surprisingly condensed. There is no
spinning out of details, obtrusion OF
personal opinions and sentiments
of the narrators. Here is a sugges-
ton of how we ourselves should
approach Calvary. 1t is not theme
for volubility. There should be no
effort to magnify its painful horrows,
or to compare its physical sufferings
with those of others. A moral in
depreciation is the thing desirable.
Personal appropriation IN great
riches. Following the narrative we
first have the numbering of Jesus
with transgressors. He was crucifi-
ed between insurgent robbers and
murders. He who could challenge
the world to impeach his sinlessness
was put to the extremity OF a con-
yicted felon. With the first she'd
ding of his blood begins his media
torial prayer, Father forgive theml
The 'inventiveness of love" finds a
paIliating circumstance in their lg-.
norance, They know not they do!
The prayer sweeps out to include
not the coarse executioners alone,
but even the cunning conspirators
who use them as their tools. 1t is
enough to brand with infamy that
destroying vice of gambling that it
obtruded itself at the crucifxion.
The soldiers threw dice to determine
which should have the most Valua-
bic Garment of the victim, his seam
less robe. He saved othersP I'm
concious enconium! Let him save
himself" that which is a physical
possibility is a moral impossibility
Except he stays on the cross ne
cannot be savior. If he remains
not he cannot utter that ineffaibly
cry, 1t is finished" Keener than
mortal pangs ore the brutal gibes OF
rulers, populace and soldiery. The
triple inscription may signify that
the story of the cross is destined to
90 into all languages as it there ap-
peared in the tongue Of conquest
culture and colloquy. The sovereign
power of redeaming love has exem-
pliication in the gloom Of Calvary
The innocence Of his fellow-sufferer
daWns on the mind of one Of the
malefactors 1t pains him to hear
the railing Of his comrade, To eye
of faith there opens blissful vista.

in real danger of neglecting to rem
der encouragement to movements
of real merit. Because a husband
has lost money in mining stock is
no very good reason why he should
be opposed to his Wife's securing the
priceless advantage of education
and culture which membership in
the American Womans League
brings to all League members and
their minor children, at the same
time helping to secure a beautiful
Chapter House, which will be, in its
modest way, as great an influence
for the upbuilding of Fitzgerald as
any institution now in evidence. Il
By a very simple plan of co-opera-
ton, the American Woman League
offers to use the money received
from one hundred leading maya
zines who are cooperating with the
League, in building chapter houses
of Genuine beauty and artistic
merit for the women of any COM
lnunity who will fulfill the very
simple requirements At the same
time, through the numerous cores
pondence courses of the Peoles Uni
versity, the members may secure,
without charge, for themselves and
their children, a complete education,
from the kindergarten, to the college,
and training in the fine and applied
arts, professions or trades.
The following courses are open to
all members: Of the Fine Arts
Drawing, Painting, Modelling and
of the Applied Ats
Ceramics, Pottery, China Painting,
Bookbinding. Jewerly Design, Textile
Design, Embroidery, Basketry; of the
Professions Music, journalism,
complete High School and College

Club House For The
American Woman S League

On February LIST membership in
the League goes to $500, and the
Chapter House requirements are al
SO increased at that time. After
that time it will require 200 mem
bers instead of 140 to secure the
$4,000 Chapter House. X will be
easier for our city to secure this
Chapter House right now than ever
again. 1t behooves us to get to work
in real earnest before our opportuni-
ty has passed by. Of the one hum
dred forty members now necessary
for the Chapter House, our local
chapter has already secured sixty,
twenty-five of whom are fully paid,
the rest having signed the monthly
notes of $500 each, which allows
them to be counted towards the
Chapter House requirements and
also permits them to take the cor
respondence course of the Peoples
University Immediately and to pur-
sue them during the year while
paying for their membership.
We need eighty to eighty-fve of
the real men and women of our city,
who value the things for which the
American Woman's League stands,
education. culture, and a wider OPP
portunity for women-and who
would really take pride in securing
so easily beautiful building of this
for our city, to become associated
with this great League movement.
People have SO often been offered
something for nothing or large
part of the world for cent, only to
find on accepting the offer that they
have again been humbugged, that
it now sometimes occurs they are

enrolled in these courses, and are
actually enjoying these advantages
which are not mere promises to be
| fulfilled in the distant future, but
are now being generously carried
out according to promise.
We hope the citizens Of Fitzgerald
will yet awaken to the realization
of what it really means to belong
to an organization as comprehensive
as the League an organization
which helps women to wider OPP
portunity for earning money and
which also stands for those things
which are higher than money-the
refnements of life.
Fitzgerald can get that Chapter
House very soon, if we really want
it. The true League spirit will
speedily bring it. A cordial invita-
ton is hereby given to all the mem
bers of women's societies or clubs
in the city to become associated
with the League as members, for
the purpose of securing the much
needed club house, and at the same
time secure very valuable indivi-
dual advantages. This can be done
without interfering in the least with
the individuality of the separate
organizations.
A special meeting istcalled to
meet at League headquarters, in
the Davis Block across from post
office, on Tuesday 7:30 p. m, De-
cember 18th, 1910 sic
Everybody in Fitzgerald who
would like to see a $4,000 Chapter
House here and is willing to help
meet the simple requirements, is
invited to attend. Come at 800 p.
IN.
The requirements are to be raised
February LIST. Why should we long
er delay? 1t will never be so easy
again to qualify as just now. We
believe that the representative men
and women of Fitzgerald, when
they fully understand the plan of
the Leauge, will be interested in
with little or no expense
to themselves, a Club House that
must surely prove a positive force
for home and civic improvement.
Now is the time for cooperation
of all interested.

Pleasant Fields of Holy Writ.
THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESsC
Fourth Quarter Lesson XI, Luke XIII, 3S-46
DECEMBER IL, 1910.

He recognizes the sufferer at his
side as monarch of that realm. At
once he joins his fortune with those
of the Nazarine and entreats reco-
gnition when he comes to his coro-
nation. What Jesus did then he
has been doing ever since, opening
paradise to the penitent! But his
obedience unto death, even the death
of the cross was the only key to
unlock that paradise. In that dark
ness the seventh word from the
cross is heard. The son having
drunk the cup the Father had given
him now confidently commands his
spirit to that Father.
The Teachers Lantern.
Pilates ironical inscription on the
|cross has a germ of truth in it.
Jesus is a king. His realm in the
soul, what was a taunt to the Jews
was a tribute to Jesus. Plate ac-
knowledged him a kingly spirit Of
whom the nation was not worthy
The cross is always divisive. 1t
separated the believing theft from
the unbelieving. 1t is still a divisOr.
1t is inconceivable that the spirit of
Jesus at his dissolution just mingled
with common air and was lost and
dissipated when he breathed it out.
He solemnly commended it as an
inconceivably precious thing to the
care of a personal God who is the
Father of Spirits. 1t must have
survived. 1t could not have been
annihilated. And if Jesus survived
so do all spirits of men. That is the
pledge of Immortality. JESUS help
ed the penitent at his side to stand
the shock of dissolution by the as
surance Of a continuous life beyond
and ali immediate entrance into
paradise. 1t is a common error
that the man who was impressed tc
bear Jesus cross was negro. There
was a Jewish colony in Cyrene
North Africa which had a synaGo
que of its own in Jerusalem. TIKI
thoughts Of Jesus were upon other;
even in his mortal agony. His frs
three words from the cross" are il
evidence, Father forgive them!
This day!" and Woman, thy son.
Gambling is that horrid vice tina
could intrude upon the crucifiXi Oh
scene. The rattle of the dice bo1
was heard a at the foot Of the cross
CrucifiXion was abolished by Con
stantine out of a sacred regard O
the cross as the instrument of Jesus
passion.
