GOSPEL TALKS

cALvARYss SIGNIFICANCE

"He was wounded for our trans
gression, He was bruised for our ini-
quities, the chastisement of our
peace was upon Him; and with His
stripes we are healed. ALI we like
sheep have gone astray; we have
turned everyone to his own way; and
the Lord hath laid on him the ini-
guilty of us all."-Isaiah 53:5, g..
When Christ died on Calvary's
Cross, He did not die as a martyr for
a lost cause but as the lamb of God
for the sins of the world. His death
was absolutely unique in the his
tory of the world. Although sinless
Himself, "He was bruised for our
iniquities."
1t is certain that we are all guilty
before God for "all have sinned and
come short of the glory of Cod
Rom. 1923. All of us have gone astray
like sheep and are guilty of breaking
Gods law. All of us need a sinbearer.
This. God provided in the person Of
His Son. He sent Jesus Christ into
the world and upon Him He laid our
iniquity. He received the punishment
due to us for our sins. He was woun-
ded in our place. He was bruised
for u iniquities. He bore u
griefs and carried His
wounds and bruises, His ~sufferings
and death, were what we deserved
for III sins. Scripture is clear in its
teaching that Christ died for our
sins."-1 Cor. 1873.
This is the meaning of the death
of Christ on Calvary's Cross. He, the
Spotless lamb of God, died as a SUBJ

1t is estimated that tourists
spent a total OF approximately
$200,000,0OO duri ing the 49,
months period covered in the re-
port, more than the value of the
total cotton crop for 1915. In
creased gasoline tax collections, a
% percent increase In highway
traffic and as high as SO percent
increases in volume of foreign
traffic all point to more tourist
business for Mississippi.

Oil Stocks Gains Cut,
|Aircrafts Hold Firm
|As Market SIackens
BY the Asseeieted Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-Oil and
aircraft issues tried with scant sue
cess to provide leadership for a for
ward move in the stock market
today.
Oils rallied as much as points
or so at one time, but toward the
fourth hour outside gains were
chopped down considerably and a
few advances were converted into
losses. Aircrafts held their ground
fairly well.
For the list as whole small gains
and losses ran neck and neck. Deal
ings slackened after a comparatively
lively start.
I Many traders stayed out Of the
market while they awaited the
Presidents second annual economic
report. Also dampening speculative
enthusiasm was the cloudy future as
to Congress action on budget recon-
mendations and taxes.
Some demand, on the other hand
was created by the hope that busi-
ness would turn in 1948 score card
with as much good reading as the
1947 report.
Follansbee Steel dropped around
2 points as Wall Street speculated
on identity Of the interests who
offered to buy the company's stock
at well above the market level.
