CHRIST GAVE UP LIFE
AS PROOF OF TRUTH

Christ did not come to preach the
Gospel, but he came that there might
be Gospel to preach" This was a
statement of Rev. Joseph J. Rae when
he spoke on What Was Christ's View
of His Own Death" at the Holy week
services of the First Presbyterian
church last night.
His love for his followers and
theirs for him prevented them from
understanding his attitude toward his
death. He taught that his death was
as witness to truth, but it was more
than that, it was a willing sacrifice.
He said, I lay it down Of myself 1t
was also a revelation of the Fathers
love and of expansion of the saving
purpose of god. He said. HE gave
His life a ransom for many Let US
before the cross humbly say, Lord re-
member me when Thou cometh into
Thy kingdom
