CROSS INSPIRES
BEST THOUGHTS
Rev. c. P. Mas Delivers
Beautiful EuIogy on En-
bIem of Christianity.

The sweetest songs sung by the
poets were inspired at the cross; art
lists paint best scenes here; thinkers
are inspired 10 write their best
thoughts as they think of the cross,
declared Rev. G. +. Mas who spoke
yesterday morning at the First Evan
gelical church. He chose his te-.t
from Luke 23:33-"They crucified
Him"
The story OF the crucifiXion is Of
the greatest importance 10 the
church. The cross is the center of
all things. Two eternities meet here.
The old patriarchs looked forward
through the misty future and gave
us an outline Of the cross. In the full
ness of time Jesus came and since
then the whole world has been look
ing back to Him. marking time.
EulOgy ON Cross.
The sermon was a eulogy on the
cross. Jesus died sober. He re-
fused a narcotic He went out on the
battle field TO fight with death. and
i'm the fullness Of His intellect con-
quered."
He spoke Of the improper use
made of narcotics and though he did
not decry the legitimate use. said: 1T
is the shameful use. the abuse, made
of narcotics by quack physicians
which is protested against. In one
state. i'm one year. all Of the natural
deaths took place while the patient
was under the influence of some mar
cotic administered to csc his suf-
fering We sometimes forget that
il is through suffering that man is
made perfect"
Three Forms OF Gross
In Pursuance of his original theme
he continued: There were three
forms of the cross used in the time
of Christ Jesus died on a cross
made of an upright beam with a
cross beam near the top. Up TO this
time the cross had been an emblem
of slavery. now it became the symbol
framework of blood-clotted beams,
where prisoners died. now it is found
on flags. an emblem IF victory.
Jesus died of a broken heart. II
was not the physical wounds which
killed Him. There is pain, greater
than physical suffering. the pain of
a love. heaped on sinful world and
rejected by il which killed Christ.
This is the ministry but also the
glory of the scene at the cross. In
the cross of Christ I glory
The inscription placed over the
cross was peculiar IL was the Gus
tom TO write only the reason for the
prisoners crucifiNion. The inScrip-
ton placed above Christ's head was
This is Jesus OF Nazareth. the King
of the Jews. IL was intended for

The inscription was written in
