of Israel above all others OF the ea
AT last the day arrived when 1
answer to the Roman ruler, He prt-
claimed Himself king, saying, i ca
indeed, king, but My kingdom is ntt
OF this world Then He went forth
to be crowned with thorns and to re-
ceive the purple robe OF His W blood
adorned with His scarlet wounds; and
taking up His standard. He went %
Calvary to be enthroned, for the crofs
OF Calvary was at once His throne u
His standard.
THE cross has from the beginning
been the standard OF Christ, n for
that reason it adorns our build 'naj,
and Is present in every act OF Catholic
worship. 1t is eloquent in proclaim
ing the victory of Christ o~ei sin and
death and hell. 1t would seem that
He 'chose the very Anstrument 90
earthly shame to show that His king
dom depended In no way on earthly
powers. The rough cross OF the Ro-
mans was intended to contribute %
the sufferings and the degradation II
it's victim. 1t expressed the fulleFt
measure of contempt. 1t was for q g
slave and the hated outlaw. Chr T.
chose the cross and transformed I.
He changed it's darkness into light
it's sorrow into gladnc is dafeat In
TO eternal victory.
THE cross is the school of Christ's
doctrine for there He teaches by g
ample more ~eloquently than by .
word what Is meant by obedience o
Gods will, by sacrifice. by the pardon
of enemies. There He shows by 7 .
sufferings and death how dreadful, o
the nature of sin and how awful t5
separation from God u Fatht'.
There H]e,proves the truth of the b :
attitudes; that blessedness belongs .
the poor, the meek, and to those W .
suffer for the sake OF Gods name.
1.-THE sign of the cross is a pie !
of loyalty TO Christ for only those W ,
take up the cross are worthy to +,
His disciples. It is the coin of trilu .
which all can pay " bears His I'm
and inscription. ne cross inspir 8
hope by reminding IA that Christ s

ity is enHamed and deepened; b I
we are reminded that Christ was mo (

ners TO life, that HE mas borne
iniquities and carried our sorrows !
by His bruises we are healed.
"The sign OF the cross should o.
each one of US an act OF consecr

SYMBOLISM OF THE CROSS

You have. no doubt, often heard
the ancient story OF a Persian prince
who wished to teach his subjects the
beauty OF q virtuous life, and with this
object in view gathered together all
the books then written on the subject
OF pure and upright living. He found
very soon that books did not serve his
purpose adequately, for few of his
subjects could have access to them and
not many Of those were able to under
stand what was written. Az a result
he caused the wise men of his realm
to devise a symbol that would
epitomise all the wisdom of the many
volumes. This symbol he kept con
stantly before his eyes; II became the
standard of his army; IL was the orna-
ment Of his armor and the seal OF
every pledge and law that he made.
This parable shows that even the
ancients understood the purpose and
the value of symbols such as are to-
day used in every home. school, city
and nation. to preserve and teach their
most cherished principles and most
important truths.
