POINTS LESSON OF JESUS
NEEDING THIEFs PRAYER
Lenten Speaker Shows by Story of
Cross Way to Salvation

How few Of the leaders today crave
Paradise or care for a benediction Of
Cod" said the Rev. Or. c. AEnand MIL
Ter today at the noon Lenten service in
St Johns Lutheran Church. They see
no need" said Doctor Miller. "They feel
no shame Of selnshness Today, also, It
is far more the thief and the harlot who
see on the Cross the one who draws men
unto Him"
Doctor Miller discussed the second word
from the Cross. He said the first word
had been one OF prayer, and that the
second was one of salvation.
THE penitent victim Of the cross next
to Jesus seemed so unlikely to repent"
said Doctor Miller. we heard him only
n little while ago ourslnF and mocking
Jesus And he was thief, an outcast.
a low wretch. We do not expect from
such ms he even a desire for Paradise
why Is not one of the chief priests ask
ing for pardon, or one OF the Pharisees? =?
Where are the representatives OF the bet
ter classes while this vile scum of the
earth is asking for pardon? Then Jesus
might have been interested, we think He
gave no answer TO blasphemy. but he
quickly answered prayer, even that of the
praying thief. Prayer is the way to saliva
