at the cross By Marlowe Hoyt There is in nil profane and religious history no more desplcnhle a plot ever presented than thatj told In the four gospels as to the j death of our Savior. Almost from the beginning of I ; his mini try, he had been opposed | Iby Pharisee and Sadduecee Tlm»| priests, ignol 'e and fattening on' their spoil*, were against hint.; The scribes, who expounded the , law and the prophets, saw their! j pywer waning. And so, from all j . these sources, a conspiracy was i formed. It culminated on the night in the garden of Gethsemane, when Judas betrayed his Ixtttl an 1 Master with a kiss. From then. it« was it mutter of routine until 1 Jesus was brought before Pilate. 1 Annas s®nt him to ( aiuphas. Caiaphas In ought him twice he-i I fore the Sanhedrin. The Sanhe- ; drin fetched him to Pontius Pilate.| who sent him to Hcroil. who sent j him back to Pilate. It was a game ! in which the conspirators sought I the death of Jesus, mid those in ! power, fearful of refusing, sought to shift the responsibility. So. when Pontius Pilate, believing Jesus innocent but fearing ihe| displeasure of the mob —washed I this hands and gave the victim to j the sacrifice, the plot was complete. A pitiable picture, this. One I strong man could have chang'd 1 the destinies of mankind. Had . Pilate refused to pronounce th? I death sentence, the execution! I would not have occurred But.) weakling and politician that he was. he acquiesced, letting an innocent man die to appease the many. Justice there was not. Reason there was not for this etad so far as the law of man and God were 1 concerned. But Jesus died on the : cross; and his message spread abroad throughout the world. On and on the word was carried. 1 With clarion call, it rang out to; Jew and Gentile alike until the uttermost ends of earth weiOj reached. And today, it marches triumphant, carrying the teaching ■ that Jesus died to save mankind. ■■ ■ ■■ o First Evangelical Church M. W. Sundermann, Minister The Sunday School Program will open at 9:15.

1656 and continued in leisurely fashion until its formal dedication. The interior decoration, tor the greater part, da’es from the last ; decade of the eighteenth century, : though there are touches which were added during the first twenty i years Os the nineteenth. The cathedral is famous as hav j ing been the burial place of Colinmbus. In the wall of the chancel, i a medallion and inscription long I distinguished a certain spot as the 'tomb of the great discoverer. His remains were removed to this spot 'from Santo Domingo in 1796. In 11898, they were taken to Spain. J The old Cathedral has nothing to 'dis inguish it greatly from others 11 of its sort. Its face is almost fort .Iresslike and a tower rising *«t eith•)er side add to the effect. A rose ‘window occupies the center of the 11 front and three doors, a main entrance and two side entrances, are • separated by fountains, where the , suppliants kneel and dip their , hands. A glimpse of the past—such is t'the Old Cathedral of Havana.

When Jests had been formally condemned, he was taken apart for a time ana while he waited, his Roman guards mocked him. A red cloak was d, aned aoout h : m. A crown of thorns was placed upen his brow. A reed was thrust into his hand for sceptre. Then his tormentors knelt before h m in meek humility and worshiped him with fine derision. All this he bore patiently as his lot.

At last the procession started for Calvary, the spot of execution of those condemned in Jerusalem. Jesus had suffered a terrific scourging as part of the punishment of crucifixion. Weakened from the effects of it. he stumbled along, bearing the cross upon which he was to die. The guards impressed an onlooker, Simon from Cyrene, to carry the cross the rest of the way.

- ■ ■ — Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? THE CRUCIFIXION QUESTIONS 1 Why did the Sanhedrin take | Jesus before Pontius Pilate? 2 Why did Pontius Pilate send ' i him to Herod? 3 What happened when Jesu= 1 was brought back to Pontius Pil-j I ate? I 4 Why did Pilate surrendw. ■ Jesus for death? 5 Where was the execution l held and why? 6 What typos of crosses were ; employed in the crucifixions? 7 What was the "wine mingled with gall” refused by Jesus? j 8 What message did Jesus give) I his mother and John the Beloved?; I 9 What are the seven words ' fiom the cross? 10 When was Jesus executed ’ ANSWERS 1 The panhedrin found Jesus ! guilt v of declaring himself to bej j the Son of God. Jerusalem was) | under the role of the Romans, I ind any death sentence which the ' Jews passed had to he confirmed ’by the Romans. Pontius Pilate had this power. 2 Herod, the ruler of Galilee,, was in Jerusalem at this time. 1 Christ was a Galilean. Pilate de-| cidel that the whole aft'a'r wasj of a political character and wish-| . ing to be clear of it. sent Jesus to) i Herod, claiming that Herod. ns| ruler, must preside. 3 When Jesus was brought back) j to Pilate, he sought to have him’ ) released, since lie could see no reason for his execution. But.! ; be'ng a politician. Pilate feared I Jewish resentment. Fin.illy, he gave Jesus to the mob, but wash-' ed his hands of his responsibility. ’ ! 4 In a last effort. Pilate invol-' I ed the rule that at the Passover, I the n<>ople fil’d tfie right to de-1 ) mand the pardon of one person I condemned to death. Pilate at- | tempted to have them choose j Jesus, but they took Barabbas, a rol'Pr. This ended his efforts. 5 The Mount of Calvary, or Golgotha, outside the city some distance was the scene of all exe- , cutions. In Moses time, all execu- | tions had to be carried on outside ) the camp during the years of I wanderings. This custom was j maintained when cities were built. 6 Three types of < rosses figttr|ed in crucifixions. The cross as I we know it today, on which Jesus | died. A T-shaped cross; and a I S’. Andrews, or X-shaped, cross. 7 Because crucifixion was a horrible death, charitable women ’ of Jerusalem raised a fund which ; supplied a drugged wine. This j was given the victim before crucifixion and. of course, eased | the pain Jesus refused it.

Through Co-operation of the Firms on this | page this Church Feature is made possible.

As Jesus was nailed to the cross, he raised his * voice in forgiveness. "Father.’’ he prayed, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do! ’ Twa robbers were crucified with him, one on either hand: an-J above his head was nailed a sign which read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." This was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek, that all might read the message.

' 8 Jesus hung on the cross, he) beheld his mother. "Woman. he| aid. 'Behold thv son." To John.) I the Beloved, he said: "Son, behold t thy mother." John accepted the 'duty and took the Virgin Maiyi I home with him and supported h”r I until her death. t «’ These were the seven speech-! . 1 es made by Christ as he hung i upon the cross. 10 Jesus was nailed to ’he ) cross at 9 o’clock on the morning of April 7. 30 A.D.

As Jesus hung upon the cross, he beheld his mother weeping at his feet and beside her, John, the Beloved disciple. "Woman," he said, “Behold thv ton. Son, behold thy mother.” Thus he consigrid Mary to the care of John. Darkness over-sp-ead the sky at noonday. Three hours later, Jesus raised his voice. “It is finished,” he exclaimed and died. An earthquake shook the land.
