pie, and buildest it in

Likewise also the chief priests hooking
him, with the scribes and elders, said:
&C. He saved others; himself he cannot save. If
he be the King of Israel, let Him now come down
from the cross and we will believe Him.
"'He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him
now, if He will have Him; for he said, I am the
Son of God
THE thieves also, which were crucitied with
Him, cast the same in his teeth
Every Bible class, and every man and
woman in or out of Bible class, should study
over and over that last scene in the life of
Christine crucifxion. The brutality and
ignorance of the mob that demanded the free
dom Of Barrabas, the political agitator, when
they might have freed and heard Christ; the
journey to the hill outside Jerusalem called
Golgotha, meaning "the skull; the poor women
collecting money to buy and give to the con-
demned a drink that should stupefy them and
diminish pain, and the touching picture of
Christ, putting the rim of the cup to his lips and
refusing to drink, refusing to diminish The sor-
row and horrible suffering that he had willingly
brought upon himself for the sake of others.
In all the history of the world there is no
picture such as that on Golgotha, the patient,
upturned face of the sufferer destined to change
the world, the Roman soldiers at the foot Of the
cross gambling for his scanty garments The
rabble hooting, the thieves on either side de-
nouncing Him because the miracle they hoped
for did not come; the faithful women, Mary
Cleopahs Mary of Magdala, Joanna, wife of
Khouza, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, watch
ing patiently until death should come, and give
His body back to them.
Many are the wonderful scenes of heroism
and self sacrifice painted in history by men
willing to die for the truth But there is nothing
to compare with that one great picture the
crucifxion and the last words of Christ:
Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they do"
Until man has studied the character Of
Christ, and the effect of his teachings, no other
study is worth while
Unless man possesses deep religious
feeling, no other feeling is worth while
philosopher, drunk with his own conceit
and scientific research. may say of the Divine
Being: II have no need of that hypothesis"
But the boast is false. Every wonder in
Nature, and every proof Of pernna nent, un-
changing justice and law demonstrate that
there is need of that hypothesis" and that, as
Voltaire said, in his sardonic wav "If there had
not been a God it would have been necessary to
invent one"
Religious feeling opens the mind, lifts the
spirit from the earth, changes man from a self
ish animal to cosnnic being in sympathy and
in touch with universal life and thought. PITY
the man who is the centre of his own universe
and who fails to realize that thought is given us
to study and revere the infinite with which
religion alone can bring us into contact and

\ COUSIN OF MRS. J. C JONES
MarccIla Craft is Winning Favor in
Her EurODPan Tour.

Her European Tour.
Marcella Craft a young American
actress who is meeting success in Eu-
rope is a cousin of Mrs. j. c. Jones
of Columbia. Miss Craft at present
is with the Munich Royal Opera after
an extremely successful tour of the
leading European cities.
Miss Crafts repertory includes
"Traviata," Faust" Tales of HOff-
man.""La BOheme'in which she sang
with Caruso. "ManOn" "LOhengrin."
"~Tanhauser" and many others. Her
conversion of SalOme in Richard
Strauss unconventional opera 'Sa-
lone" is an indication of her Origi-
nality and ability. The customary
conception of the part seemed obi
Gus 10 her and she persuaded the
great composer not only to allow her
to present the part in a, different
manner but actually caused him to
alter ON parts of the play.
The Kansas City Star says: For

ticuiar interest in the success of the
young American whose talent thus

be remembered by those who had the
good fortune to hear her sing at her
cousins home while visiting there
some three years ago. California
was her girlhOOd home of happy
memory, and California still is the
dream-land of her 'after-while." The
years that have heard Marcella
Crafts beautiful voice grow from the
audaciouS assurance of girlhOod to
the tried and chastened confidence
of the skilled artist have not altered
by a hair's-breadth her allegiance to
the land whose shores she has scarce
ly seen in all their passing. Those
years she has devoted to earning the
recognition to which her remark
able talents entitle her by straight
forward effort. Absorbed i'm her ca

c~easing in study. concentrating her
sensitive mind constantly upon en-
HANGED achievement, she has as lit

With all its eagerness, her ambition
finds no allurement in the possible
hastened profits of mere nOtOriety.
Her private life is serene and mod

and sheltered from intrusion.
