that came the arraignment before
PLATE. who alone could pronounce
the death sentence. He declared
his belief in the innocence OF Jesus;
yet-evasions failing in response
to the priest-incited mob-cry OF
Cruelty Him!"-doomed the victim
to the cross. AS thousand legal
minds have declared, the trial and
death of Jesus of Nazareth was a
vast miscarriage of human justice.
With a sympathy that taps the
fount of tears we behold the out
RACES committed upon the most
sensitive spirit ever enshrined in
mortal flesh-the scourging; the
blows upon the head and face; the
splitting upon Him by rough soldiers;
the driven nails and the pierced
side; the thirst on the cross; the
coarse mockery, not only by the
rabble and the soldiers, but also by
the priests and elders.
See, from His head, His hands, His
feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down,
Did ever such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a CROWN

Plate. Yet, because he was more
of a politician than a man, this
Roman governor flung Jesus to the
waiting wolves of wickedness.
This climax of injustice should
startle every judge, and every public
Office holder, into heart-searching
concern lest he should sit in Pilates
seat, or follow in the train of that
cowardly, trucking, self-serving
politician.

the story of Byzantium, with its tale
of high religiosity and low morals, a
famous example Of what may befall
professional ecclesiasticism.
In the background of the cruci-
fixion story stand the lynch minded,
frenzied, blood-thirtsy mob, throat
lily crying Cruelty HIM" Some of
them had doubles eaten the loaves
Jesus had multiplied by Galilee.
Many Of them had, a few days be-
fore, pranced and shouted in the
triumphal entry. Now, melted by
shrewd individuals, they had yielded
to mob psychology, which is always
degrees lower than personal judg-
ment. A crowd will do what indi-
viduals would never dream of doing.
Every man enticed into a man
hood -abdicating mob demonstration
should remember the most famous of
all lynching parties, that which ef-
fected the death of Jesus Christ.
Some Shining Names.
But the story is not all black.
There was the husky Negro, Simon
the Cyrenean, who bore the Sa-
viour's cross when His body fell to
the ground. There were the steadfast
woman disciples. who, weeping, stood
by to the end. There was John. the
beloved, at the cross to receive the
Sons dying commission concerning
His mother. There were the other
compassionate women whose prac-
tice it was to alleviate the thirst
and suffering of victims of crucifix-
ion. There. too, was the pagan
Roman officer, with his conviction,
Truly. this was the Son of God"
Afterward, belatedly, came two
members of the Sanhedrin, Joseph
of Arimathea and Nicodemus. All,
what their loyalty and friendship
would have meant to the lonely Man
in His lifetime. They provided Him
tomb and spices, while their
hearts echoed, in self-reproach, TOO
late! Too late"
With a confluence of signiflcances
beyond mortal comprehension, the
crucifixion stands as the supreme
point in all human history. The
very cross, with its four points, itself
symbolizes the meaning-one end
planted deep in the soil of erring
natures needs; its top pointing
heavenward to the mercy of for
giving Father; its arms stretched
out to embrace all mankind within
the compass of Divine love.
We cannot comprehend Calvary,
or plumb the full import of the
Atonement. We only know that, in
a manner beyond our grasp, Gods
mercy met mans sin in the person
of the sacrificing Saviour, who
thereby became the Redeemer of the
world. The awfulness of mortal sin,
which required such a price, is
matched by the illimitable mercy OF
the Father in Heaven. The Saviour's
own words give the best explana-
ton: For God so loved the world
that He gave His only-begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on Him
should net perish, but have ever
lasting life
Our world needs not so much to
be reformed as to be saved. That
is why the story Of Calvary is the
most important news in todays
paper. Father John B. Tabb quaint
ly expressed the Lesson in a little
poem called "Out of Bounds:
"A little Boy Of heavenly birth,
But far from home today,
Comes down to find His pail, the
earth,
That Sin had cast away.
