FRANCES CROSSES; CHRIST'S CROSS
International Sunday School Lesson For June 10 Is
"Jesus on the Cross'-Mark 15:1-47
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Back from France and busy with
the classification of information and
gathered there, 1 find my
self called upon to write Sunday
school lesson dealing with the Crucl-
fixion. Straightway there march
across my vision the crosses OF
France-the wayside crucifiNes; the
great floral cross in the Churcn Oh
the Madelaine, Paris, on Good Fri
day at the hour when the German
long range gun devastated Slmllar
service in another part of the CITY,
the crosses that cluster so thlcKly py
the battlefields and in the grave
yards; the new wooden crosses hur-
riedly made for a large group OIL
American graves, after a great ac-
ton; the little crosses which the
peasants of Brittany offer at the FOOT
of the wayside shrines; the outstand-
ing red-oh, so red!-of the cross in
the British flag; the red cross that
is the symbol of mercy and ministry
is this not the war of the crossF
A spirit sublimely sacrificial per-
vades this war. There is less talk OF
religion than the folk at home
imagine, of formal piety there Is
very little: soldiers have horror OF
their religion, or OF any
thing that may seem like pharisalsm'
They often cloak their deepest feel
ings beneath jesting speech. The
ideals of the war are not discussed
in the camps and the trenches as
much as they are among the people
at home. Soldiers have reached the
action stage. Yet their purpose and
spirit are branded with the cross OF
seryice and sacrifice. Does it seem
to say that the army wears
the stigmata on its hidden soul?
"Over the Top" for Others
Startling in its indifference to con-
ventionaI forms and phraseology or
religion, the army has none the less
glimpsed the glory of the cross
spirit. Men who go to death for rea-
sons entirely outside of themselves,
and for the sake of others who have
no immediate personal claim upon

Despite the tremendous expense
involved in bringing this feature film

BARNARD GIRLS

Lurid Paintings of Wilhelm,

Who painted the lurid, multicolored

These questions are troubling the

in the organization of a band of fac

Paris. June I.
For the first time since the beginning
of the war revenge has an important
place today in the speech in Paris be-
cause of the airplane and long range
gun attacks on Corpus Christi day
There is also Some bitterness toward
the Pope for his intervention in behalf
of Cologne without stipuating that the
Germans cease their attacks on the
holy day.
Whatever potential power the Pope
is supposed to have as peacemaker
later on is greatly lessened in French
public opinion. Rightly or wrongly, the
Pope is more than ever exposed to a
charge of sympathy for Austria as
against the Allies.
Paris Disappointed
Paris people went to church yester-
day thinking themselves safe because
the Germans. through the Pope, had
begged England not to bomb Cologne on
the holy day. England consented. Paris
took it for granted that she also would
have a day of immunity from long-range
bombardment and aerial attack.
II was cruelty false hope. Smelling
and bombing were worse than usual AS
on Good Friday, church was hit by
long range she'll which exploded on
the high altar shortly after the evening
service began. when the edfce was
crowded The name of the church may
not be given. as il would afford the
enemy accurate information in the di-
rection Of big gunfire. But it was one
of the most cherished in Paris. Its
name is a household word throughout
the world
Feeling IN America at the time of the
Lusitania sinking is repeated in Paris
with great intensity.
Anger Follows Grief
Grief over damage to the church and
the loss of lives by the latest ar raid
over the suburbs is supplemented by
anger and chagrin at having been fooled
by the implied German promise on
Corpus Christi day.
France supposed her capacity for sur
prise at German treachery had been ex-
hausted. and the holiday began witt
| an unusual sense of security and safety
| for twenty -four hours. The false hopt
was shared by Americans in Paris at
tending their Memorial Day service a
