claiming that he was innocent of the
blood of this just man.
with this dramatic act the trial of
Jesus ended and he was delivered for
crucifixion, but there could be no le-
gality to a decision which was rem
derer, not upon any finding of guilt,
but purely to satisfy the accusers and
coupled with the statement Of the
judges own belief in the accused inno-
cence.
"And SO, though Judged innocent,
Jeesus was compelled to bear His
cross to Calvary. But while IL has
ever since been the symbol Of sacri-
flee, 1t has also been the symbol of
freedom and justice and hope"
Mr.. McLean's presentation Of this
theme proved most interesting and in
formative and was followed by hearty
applause.
Greetings were extended to Presi-
dent Mace, who was present to preside
over the session, having been patient
at the Augusta General Hospital,
where he underwent surgical treat
ment.

]. s. FILE ROOM
CEILING FALLS

Clerks on the second floor filing
room Of the Department of Justice
Building, at Vermont Avenue and
K Street, were dismissed from work
today because Of the cave-in of part
of the ceiling of the room last night.
which, il 1t had occurred during
working hours, undoubtedly; would
have cost several lives.
While workmen were clearing
away the debris today building in
spectors were attempting to find the
cause OF the cave-in, which, fortu'
nately, came when no one was in
the room.
A whole section of the ceiling.
about SO by 90 feet, fell to the floor,
plaster, metal 1athing and all Al.
though the cabinets and files were
scratched, no serious damage re-
suited.
The cave-in occurred just before
midnight last night, and the crash
was heard by watchmen in the
building.
The metal lathing which supports
the ceiling is believed to have rotted
away from water used In. constant
scrubbing of the floor above. The
entire ceiling collapsed in one piece
and would have buried any workers
who were below it.
No one will be allowed in the room
until the ceiling has been repaired
and thoroughly inspected.
