Merry, lorjcal agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company: I Reckless motorists who crash • I into trains at highway crossings on tithe Pennsylvania Railroad are res- • fponsible for more than 4n per cent 11 of the highway crossing accidents j - j reported for the first quarter of this . ‘ year. "Figures just compiled by our de- i 1 partment of safety show that 42 per cent of all crossing accidents in ; I the first three months of 1931 were i lithe result of motor vehicles actually running into trains. I ‘ "Most motorists want to be and -! are careful drivers, but these figi , ures indicate how motor vehicles, . I when recklessly driven, become a > menace to the railroad train, as well II as to highway traffic. 'I "Analysis of highway crossing ac- | •I cidents on the Pennsylvania Rail-' > road so far this year indicates that ] one half of all these accidents oc- j 1 i 4,-urred when Itrains were either I ■ I standing still or moving at less than i I 25 miles per hour. Thus the old con- . ! I ception that accidents happen be- i cause high speed express trains I I bear down on the unsuspecting mo- i : : torist before he can get out of the I I i way is clearly unfounded. • I "The number of cars whiyh crash i into standing trains is undoubtedly I i much greater than the public gen-1 i erally realizes. We may wonder i • j what is going ou in a driver’s mind II which would cause him o drive de- I ’ liberately into a train on a highway | • < crossing, but the fact remains that , the railroad's property is constantly I 11 being damaged by reckless motor j -1 drivers. “We have had instances where 11 these heedless drivers, seemingly j I oblivious to such a sizeable object I • as a railway box car, plunge head-1 | long into 80 and ion car freight! • i trains when half of the train or : more has already moved over the I • crossing. “Despite this recklessness on the . 1 part of some automobile drivers, . , I however, casualties from highway! II crossing accidents on the Pennsyl- . i vania Railroad were reduced 32 per 1 ’ | cent last year and we are exerting every effort to make a still further ■lieduction this year." , o I Get the Habit—Trade at Heme.

.call upon the minister of the unl named church. ' I "I cannot conduct services for an actor,” the minister said coldly, but I there is a little church around the | Ji corner where you might be accom - ■ modated.” ■ “Then God bless the little church ’ around the corner!" Jefferson re11 plied.” . i Jefferson called upon the Rev. • I Dr Edward C. Houghton and he . conducted the Holland services. A . lasting friendship grew between , these two men, and the church be■, .'came one patronized by all New- . York stage and musical peop.e Dr., I George H.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Crucifixion QUESTIONS 1. —How many time was Jesus tried? 2. —What occurred when Barabbas was chosen? ?—Why was Jesus scourged? 4. Why did Pilate surrender him for death? 5. —Tell about the place of execucution. 6. —What type of cross was employed in this form of death? 7. What was the "wine mingled with gall" that Jesus refused? I B—What are the Seven Words fropi the Cross? 9.—When was Jesus executed? i 10. —What demand was made by the leaders of the mob in regard to his burial? — ANSWERS 1. —Jesus first was taken before ’ Annas, former high priest and a j tremendous political power. Anna:, | sent him to Caiaphas, his son-in-law and the ruling high priest. Two ■ meetings were held by the Sanhedrin, the latter after daybreak to i make the death sentence legal. But | the Roman government controlled the right of execution. So Jesus I wa brought before Pontius Pilate, j Roman governor. Herod, ruler of j Galilee, Jesus’ native land, was in ! Jerusalem for the Passover. Pilate sent Jesus to him, since he was j legally empowered to pass death 1 sentence cn any resident of his territory. 2. —Herod demanded a miracle. When none was forthcoming, he returned Jesus to Pilate. The Ro- - man governor knew Christ to be ; innocent, but feared to offend the Jewish mob. However, it was ths , custom at Passover to pardon one criminal, chcsen by popular vote. I Pilate sought to save Jesus in this way. Urged on by their leaders, the mob demanded Barabbas, a robber. Pilate then sentenced Jesus i to death and calling tor water, | wash his hands of Gie affair. 3. Scourging was part of the: I prelimi. arles of <J ucifixion. Fol- I lowing the scourging of Jesus. Pilate again sought Gie pity of the I mob unavailinglv. 4. -Pontius Pilate wis the ex- j ; ample cf official entirely a political Iwelfare seeker. He knew Jesus was l innocent, but the Jewish leaders | threatened o denounce him to the Emperor Tibet lus as a traitor if he refused their demand. They charg-> jed Jesus with seeking to become' ! king which was treason, punishable I Iby death. Pilate lacked the strength | j of his convictions. 5. The Mount of Calvary, or Gol-i 'gotha, outside Jerusa'em a short, .distance, was the execution spet. | ■By Mosaic law, during the flight of I the children of Israel all execuitions had to be carried on outside I the camp. This law continued when, I cities were built. ! 6-Three types of crosses were i I employed in executions. The cross 1

.'as we know it, upon which Jesus | died: a T-shaped cross; and a St. | Andrews, or X-shaped cross. The' ■ uprights often were at the execu- j i tion place, and the prisoner was' .obliged to carry his own cross bar. 7. To ease the pains of cruci- ' fixicn, charitable women of Jerusalem raised a fund to purchase a ('drugged wine. This was given the j victims before they were nailed to - the cross and, of course, eased their i pain. Jesus refused it. 8. —The seven words of the cross ■ i I were the seven speeches uttered by jjest|s as he hung there. 9. Jesus was nailed to the cross I at 9 o’clock on the morning of April -I 7, 30 A. D. Darkness fell at noon. ’, He died at 3 p. m. I 10.— It has been promised that ! Jesus was to rise from the dead ass ter the third day. Fearing his followets might steal the body to fulfill this claim. Roman soldiers were - placed about the tomb at the re-1 . quest of the mob leaders. First Evangelical Church M. W. Sundermann, pastor.
