8. Enough sex appeal to get g

1.-The most unforgettable picture
in history is the dramatic contrast
between the compromising PLATE,
with all the power, pomp, and cir
cumstance of Rome behica him,
and the loving non-violent Jesus,
Prince of Peace, and King of
Kings. accepting without hate or
retaliation, the Roman judgment
of death upon a cross says DR..
Charles F. Boss, secretary of the
Peace Commission of the Metho-
dist Church. 1T was not easy, not
so simple for PLATE, who was in
a practical situation, to decide be-
tween the interests Of Rome, the
demand of the Sanhedrin, his own
interest, and the justice due an
innocent man in whom he found
no fault. 1t was not easy for Jesus
tc endure the humiliation. the
loneliness, and the pain of the
Cross. But it was Jesus, and not
the compromising PLATE, through
whom the redemptive power OF
sacrifical love On the cross was
released into the stream of histo-
ry."
Because "the goddess home is a
menace to the world" Bishop
Wallace J. Gardner of Trenton, N.

them also as IAN advertisement
to all who enter our homes that
God rules in our home and in our
home life" 'If there is available
"a room in your house." he urges
his people, "set it up as a chapel
to God. If only a corner of one
room is available, there place &
shrine - a religious picture - a
prayer desk - what you will. sc
that that corner is dedicated te
Almighty God"

cognizance Of the interest which
today's students have in Christi
