When the judgment was over, PLATE de-
IlNered our Lord to the soldiers, who were
TO cruelty Him. His cross was beam of
WOOD which was laid on His shoulders that
lie might carry 1T TO the place where He
was TO suffer a place outside the walls of
Jerusalem. Jesus was so weak after the
long, sad night being taken from one Judge
10 another The beating and tormenting He
could hardly walk under it. The soldiers
met man coming out Of the country, whom
they forged TO carry the cross after Jesus.
when they came to the place where they
were to cruelty Jesus They made Him lie
down on the cross, ana stretched His arms
out on the cross beam of wood and drove a
large nail in each of the palms of His
hands and another through His feet. They
llfted up the cross with Hin upon it and
planted it in the ground that Hs might hang
there till He should die. While they were
mailing Him to the cross, all He said was
Father, forgive them, they know not what
they do" There were also two robbers put
| to death with Jesus. Jesus hung patiently.
while the priests and pharisees passed by
mocklng and laughing at His pain. The
two robbers tat frs Joined in the cry, with
| the Knockers, but one of them began to feel
! that He, who was So patient in all that
| great agony. must truly be the Son of God,
| and he rebuked his fellow, and said TO Je-
| sus, Lord remember me when thou CONTEST
| into Thy kingdom and the Lord answered.
| To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise
At monday dreadful darkness came over
all the earth, the earth quaked and even the
| rocks were split and the great thick veil of
| the temple was split in two from top to
| bottom. These things convinced the SOL
diers, who watched Jesus, that He was no
ordinary person. Their centurion declared
| truly this was the Son of God" When He
was thirsty, they touched His lips with vine
gar. Then He added, "It is finished. Father
into Thy hands 1 commend my Spirit"
There were some good people among the
| Jews, two, named Joseph and Nicodemus,
| wont piIAtn and asked him IN lpt them
| bury the body of Jesus. People were much
| longer dying on the cross so PLATE went to
see if HIS dead. To make sure, one of
| the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,
and out came blood and water together. The
| robbers were still alive. so they broke their
/ legs. that they might die sooner.
| SO the repenting one went to our
Lord in paradise. Joseph and Nicodemus took
Him down from the cross. Joseph had a
cave in his garden, which he had hewn out
new tomb in the rock, which he meant to
be buried in himself, but he buried the Lord
| there. He rolled great rock to close the
door and they went away in grief. line
good women waited all the Sabbath day in

on His body. But in the night there was a
great earthquake and an angel came down
| from heaven and rolled the stone away from
