SUMMARY

While Jesus, humanity speaking, cou-
Id not have escaped death, he could
have escapedthe cross if he chose to do
so. The fact that he chose to die as he
did makes the cross central in his
mission.
Had he chosen to do 50. Jesus could
have escaped the cross if he chose to do
ing compromise with his enemies
But such a course was unthinkable he
was the Christ.
His death upon the cross confirmed
the supreme loyalty Of Jesus to God
his Father
By his death upon the cross Jesus
sealed his pledge of redemption to
humanity.
By his death upon the Cross Jesus
gave the supreme manifestation Of di-
vine love love that knows no limit.
NOTES ON THE TEXT
Verse %. Golgotha The place of a
skull. The exact place has not been
certainly identified The skull-like ap-
pearance Of the spot probably gave it
its name, The more familiar name Of
the place, Calvary, is from the Latin
word meaning skull, used in the Sep
tuagint
Verse %. Wine mingled with mylrh
The drink probably contained a marco
tic, given to dull the pain of execu-
ton, which was permissible on such
occasions. 1t was mixed with wine and
myrrh to make it palatable. Jesus de
clined it, for he would not dull any Of
his senses in his last hour.
Verse. "a. Casting lots. The garments
of those executed were the perquisites
of the executioners. According to John
(19;23, Pa there were four soldiers
detailed to cruelty Jesus, and they cast
lots for the coat (tunic, or under ar
menD that they might not have to cut
it in the division
Verse 25. The third hour Nine o.
clock A. M.
Verse 26. The superscription of his
accuation. A statement, known as the
titulus, was attached to the cross show
ing who the condemned was and the
charge upon which he had been con-
victed. According to John Q920), the
superscription was written in Hebrew
Greek, and Latin.
Verse q. Two thieves. Better, rob
bers.
Verse %. The scripture was fulfilled.
Isaiah 1912.
Verse 80. The sixth hour. Twelve o.
clock noon. The nin'h hour Three o.
clock P NJ.
Verse Sc. A sponge full OF vinegar.
The vinegar was a sour wine, the
common drink of the soldiers 1t was
customary to offer it to those being
crucified to relieve the agony of their
thirst
Verse SO. The veil Of the temple was
rent in twain The veil of the temple
was the curtain which separated the
Holy Place from the Holy OF Holes

1PER CENT DROP
|NPARK RECEIPTS
Government Workers Buying
Less Food in Public Build
Ings Cafeterias.

Government workers are buying less
food In the cafeterias in the public
buildings, and many Of them are bring
ing their own lunches, purchasing only
q CUP Of coffee or a bottle Of milk to
cut down expenses. F. w. Hoover, gen.
eral manager of the Welfare and
Recreational Association of Public
Buildings and Grounds, Inc, said yes
terday as he looked over his balance
sheets.
There has been a similar dropping of
in business in the parks this season,
with only golf and the Hains Point tea
house in East Potomac Park and the
Pierce Mill tea house in Rock Greek
Park showing an increase over last
year, he asserted.
Salary Cut Blamed.
A is per cent salary slash for Gov
ernment employees is blamed by Mr..
Hoover for the slackening OF business
under the associations banner. The
attendance of swimmers at the Nc
Kinley pool, First and Lincoln road
northeast, fell off from 74,303 last year
to 54.853 this season, the general man.
ager said.
A like story was told in the case OF
the Francis swimming pool at Twenty
fifth and N streets, for colored. for
there last years figures were 28,763,
against 81 STA for the season just closed.
On the tennis courts business Is Is
per cent less than last year, Mr.. Hoover
pointed out. Due to the fact that there
Is now an 18-hole course in Anacostia
Park, golf has held up 80 per cent more
than a year ago. Other golf courses in
the park system are not under the asso-
citation, but are held by private con-
cessionaire. the Park Amusement Co.
At the Hams Point tea house there
has been a decided increase in business
Mr.. Hoover attribiting this to the fact
that beer is sold there. The Pierce Mill
tea house shows slight increase.
I. c. c. Discharges a Factor.
Generally the associations business
registers 20 per cent reduction in re-
ceipts. the letting out Of Government
employees. such as in the Interstate
Commerce Commission, being held an
important contributing factor At the
Tourist Camp business has also been
slack. visitors now spending only one
night there, where they formerly spent
three or four. Mr. Hoover believes that
this is due to the fact that people do
not have as much money to spend and
also to the Century Of Progress Exposi-
ton at Chicago.

In the first place our island which

"Once, back in slavery times. the Key
was cultivated. 1t belonged 70 my
grandfather, along with great deep sec
fions of the adjacent mainland. The
house on the key was then only a sort
of Winter retreat.
But my father had no luck in keep

The worst Of it Is that he Is always

Just that way. and the old estate mas

NV father does not have many oppor-
tunities to test out his faith that his

lose, but we are proud people and We
redeem our pledges. Fathers credit Is
still good in some quarters and my
worst nightmare is that sometime I
shall find that he has contracted debt
of honor which it will take the rest OF
