The Death Of Jesus Christ.

Men said as Jesus hung On the

That Is simply another evidence Of

OF his faIly and suffered a premature
ard unnecessary death, and in SO do.

The offense of The cross has not eased
to this day. aud when Jesus. liz his
willing and purposed death, suffered
on Calvary, he invited the malice and
hatred Of all subsequent ages. The
rash vow OF the Jews: His blood be
upon us and our children" has kept
that race III hatred of hat cross, and
all likewise who do not love that
cross are in league with the Jews in
their opposition to the Messiah. What
has been the testimony Of history as
to the relative effect Of the lifo or
death Of Jesus Christ? Secular his.

men have accepted the salvation that
was secured through the cross, they
have risen to the highest morality, and
to the highest social culture of the
