government. There was spiritual wine
poured by the faith of a fellow-suffer
err that must have cheered the heart
with the promise of the fuller fruit
of the cross in days to come. Mother
must be cared for and He committed
her to John whom He could trust more
than the other boys of the Nazareth
home who had refused to believe in
His mission. He could not save the
world over neglected duty to the
home. Nor can lesser soul. A line
from an old hymn of trust, vision of
a task complete and the committal of
Himself into the Fathers hands closed
the passion of our Lord.
THE GLORY OF THE CROSS.
How was a badge of shame changed
into one of glory. 1t is because Jesus
made it throne for His ideals instead
of token of surrender. There was
something for which even the Son of
God counted it worth while to die. That
cross taken rather than surrender the
smallest part of His wondrous purpose
drew after it even on that saddest of
all sad days the" beginnings of the
marching throng that shall yet throne
Him in the heart of the world. All
that happened there we may not know
Something that did not accompany the
death of Paul nor the burning of Saw
onarola occurred on that high day.
Just what it was we may not find
words to express, but it has become
the door of hope for the last, lone man
anywhere who trusts its Lord for life.
Through its ministry men reach their
best selves; through its power the
world catches the spirit of sacrifice;
under its thrill men serve others in
stead of themselves, and Christ lifted
upon its rough beam sways the scepter
over a new earth.
