JESUS DEATH AND BURIAL

BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
After the travesty of a trial
was ended, Jesus was led to the
crucifixion. When a place called
Golgotha had been reached and
had been lifted up between the
two thieves, the chief priests and
the soldiers taunted the Suffer
er and told him to save himself,
and one of the soldiers offered
him vinegar to drink, mingled
with gall. And above the head
of Jesus were these words: THIS
is THE KING OF JEWS.
At the ninth hour (three in
the afternoon) Jesus cried: 'My
God, my God, why hast Thou
forsaken me?" Let us regard
these words as evidence that
Jesus, who had come willingly
to the cross for sinful men,
whose sins had separated them
from God, had to feel utterly
alone in his sacrifice.
In the last moments, Jesus
cried out in loud voice: "Fath-
er, into Thy hands I commend
my spirit" These were the last
words from the cross. They are
sufficient answer to some who
have supposed that his cry of
being forsaken indicated waver-
ing faith by Jesus.
The Sandhedrin, in declaring
Jesus worthy of death, was not
unanimous in its action. Joseph
of Arimathaea did not agree.
And after the crucifixion, he
begged the body of Jesus from
PLATE, and he and Nicodemus
lovingly placed it in Joseph's
new tomb. Matthew writes that
Joseph, "also himself was Jesus
disciple" 1t is true that he had
been a disciple secretly, but at
the last he acted boldly and at
great risk to himself The same
was true of Nicodemus.

From Mrs. Fred Huber of Los

ing of old Dolly, her neck well
washed with the kids tears as
they told her goodbye the ar
rival of the first Ford, high, black,
shiny, noisy theater orches-
tras slowly rising up from beneath
the floor on platforms nickel

From Mrs. Mary Stewart of Chi
cago: ST remember when most
general stores had a remnant
counter, with bolt ends marked SO
or so cents. Mother would pick
out a few pieces, critically exam
lining them, then hold the piece of
material from the tip of her nose
to her fingertip. When she had the
first yard measured, clerk would
come along and say, Well, let's
get down to brass tacks,' and pro-
coed to measure out the desired
yardage by the shiny brass tacks
placed So inches apart on the
counter-edge."
From e. Il. Meredith Of Fairmont,
/ w. Va: 81 remember when any
one making trip of, say 500 miles,
wrote about it for the weekly pa
per. The countryside would be de-
scribed in detail and mention made
of anyone from home encountered
on the trip"
