GOOD FRIDAY
MARKED With
3-H0UR RITES
Real Meaning of CruCifixion
Recalled by Pastor at
EngliSh'S.

The significance of Jesus Christ's
death on the cross was explained
in four Lenten sermons this after
noon as the city paused in observ-
ance of Good Friday.
The Rev. Guy o. Carpenter, Irv-
ington M. E. Church pastor, and the
Rev. c. A. McPheeters, North M. E.
Church pastor, spoke at services IN
the English Theater and DR.. j.
Ambrose Dunkel, Tabernacle Pres
byterian Church pastor, and the
Rev. S. Grundy Fisher, University
Park Christian Church pastor,
preached at Keith's.
= THE world must pause today and
witness the scene of the death of
Christ and catch this same great
truth or else the world will return
again to its trivial games" Mr..
Carpenter said.
IF people only can be shaken out.
of their indifference and come to
realize this was indeed the Son of
God and that His death had an
eternal meaning for them, tomorrow
the world will be different. Man
kind must be shaken out of it's in
difference"
Known by Our Deeds
"All life must be reappraised,"
Mr.. McPheeters said. Are nations
saved by mighty defenses or good
will and service? Is social security
strengthened by competition or CO.
operation? These questions each
one must answer for himself and
his age.
Our answer in creed and deed
determines whether we shall save
ourselves and be lost, or lose our
selves in living for others and be
saved"
"Christ's mission in the world was
to destroy anarchy toward God and
restore His kingdom" DR.. Dunkel
said Jesus had no doubt as to the
ultimate issue. He spoke against
and wept over human anarchy, but
walked majestically certain of the
Kingdoms establishment.
Selfshness Is Assailed
"He taught that the kingdom
could be established only by His
death. Only thus could He es-
tablish His church and the kingdom.
Christ paid for unrighteousness with
Righteousness so that men could go
free if they chose"
Mr.. Fisher said:
Wherever human nobleness is
ignored and human rights violated;
wherever innocence is trampled down
under feet by selfish interests that
know no law but their own de-
sires; wherever those who would
help the weak and oppressed are
set upon and their destruction
sought, there sound again the
curses of the crucifiers and the ring
of their deadly hammers.
Third Period Speaker
No informed person can ever
think of the cross of Christ without
Him on the cross. When you study
the forces that nailed Him on the
cross, they have strangely familiar
faces. They are of today and of
u.s."
Third period speaker this after
noon at English's is to be Prof.
j. j. Haramy of Indiana Central
College and the sermon at Keish's
is to be preached the last period
by DR.. G. Bromley Oman, De Paw
University president.
The downtown services began at
noon and are to conclude at 3 this
afternoon. Many Protestant and
Catholic churches in the residential
districts also held services.
The Rev. E. Anger Powell, rector,
delivered a short sermon on each
of the seven last words spoken by
Christ in services in Christ Episco-
pal Church on Monument Circle. |
Chimes in the tower are to toll 80
times to notify downtown workers
that the passion hours" have ar
rived.
