It is not strange that someone chose this
lonely spot to erect a reverent memorial 1t
was on desolate hill that three crosses stood
many centuries ago . the Cross of the
Saviour :. and of the pentent and of
the scoffer.
Always these crosses have seemed to belong
to the desolate hills Of life. When a man feels
the crushing burden Of worldly care upon him,
when he trudges the steep trail lost and alone
- then, either he will claim the Love and
Strength Of Christ as did the penitent or like
the scoffer he will let his mbelef destroy his
SOUL
But no man should wait for time Of des-
olation to make life's most joyous decision. It
can be made today . and sealed with years
