that destroyest the tenn
ple and buildest it in
three days, save myself If thou be the Son of
God come down from the cross
Likewise also the chief priests, hooking
him, with the scribes and elders, said:
" 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 crucified 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
Christ-the 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 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 sor4
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 lords 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 a deep religious
feeling no other feeling is worth while.
A philosopher, drunk with his own conceit
and scientific research may say of the Divine
Being IT have no need of that hypothesis"
But the boast is false. Every wonder in
Nature, and every proof of pernoa ncnt, un-
changing justice and law, demonstrate that
there is need of that hypothesis" and that as
Votaire said, in his sardonic wav, eff there had
not been God it would have been necessary to
invent one"
Religious feeling opens the mind, lifts the
spirit from the earth, changes man from self
ish animal to cosmic 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
spiritual fellowship
