THE CRUCIFIXION

8>r r Mt ft, Ls . | Il I /rflrw

Christ was taken from the garden of Gethsemane to the house of Annas, the high priest who had been deposed by the Romans. He in turn sent him to his son-in-law, Caiaphas, ruling high priest, who hastily called the Sanhedrin together. This body declared Jesus guilty of blasphemy because he said he could destroy the temple and restore it within three days. But death could not be voted before sunrise.

THOMPSON I Dedicated to the Student-body of the Methodist Training School for Nurses, at Fort Wayne, ♦ 4 Brave soldiers you, in uniforms so white, Whoso presence cheers the bat-tle-ground of pain; Who stand ’tween man and death both day and night. And never pause to think of pelt and gain: You scarcely know the strength of your frail hands, Nor the might and power of happy, cheery stnilcs; But those who walk lifes dark, bleak borderlands, They know, and garner strength | from you, the while. To you, the sinner, saint, the bruised, the sore. Are all as one when direful needs arise; Tho pampered rich, the forlorn wretched poor Receive the same from mcrcys enterprise. In the battles stress you oft’ in weariness Stand firm, when common folks would seek retreat; Nor do you lose your “air” of cheeri-I ness, Tho’ signs of battle clearly speak defeat. When comes mv time to close my weary eyes, And depart at last for some far unknown land; I’ll have no fear for what before me lies, It one, like you "stands by” to clasp my hand. o Gigantic Structure Herodotus estimated that 100,000 men were engaged for 20 years In building the Great pyramid.

Early in the morning, a second meeting was held and the death sentence voted. But the Romans had taken from the Jews the right of execution, so Jesus was conducted before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Palestine. Now the accusers brought the charge of sedition because of references to “the kingdom of Heaven.” Pilate sought to escape by sending Jesus to Herod, ruler of Galilee, whence Christ came.

I The Sacrament of the Lord’s Sup- j ) per will he observed next Sunday.. — Dodging the Issue | By Harlowe R. Hoyt i Anatole France in his short j story, “The Procurator of Judaea” J i relates an imaginary conversation | I between a noble Roman and Pon- , tins Pilate, years after the cruci- ) fixion. “Who was the young agii tator whom you condemned to' crucifixion?" the friend asks.! ' Pilate, after a bit of cogitation, confesses: “I cannot recall his | name.” A striking tale, this bit of sic- 1 j tion, but untrue. For, to the day of his death, Pontius Pilate never could have forgotten tho injury he perpetrated toward an innocent man when he washed his hands of him and turned him over to be crucified by the mob. Jesus was an outstanding figure in Jerusalem at that time. He | had lhe priests agog with his teachings. The Pharisees were upset by him. The Herodians, who followed in the footsteps of the Roman oppressor, were bitter against this evangelist who brought to them simple ideas and a purified religion. And Pilate, sitting in judgment on that eventful Friday morning, could not have forgotten the scene when he offered to save the Christ and was answered with the cry: "Give us ' Barabbas!" Pilate was a weakling. Like so ; many of the politicians of today. : he sought to be a statesman, but feared to stand by his guns when the. time of trial came. He reckoned only that by accoeding to • the wishes of the mob, he would ' keep Jerusalem satisfied, make tho Jews his friends, and insure a longer tenure of office. Wherein he failed dismally, for it was not long after the crucifixion that he was recalled to Rome. It requires spirit and conscience to meet tho issue ofientimes. It I demands tho real man to do so. • His worth is discovered in these | crises. It is then that he proves himself. | Pontius Pilato failed in the test not because he dodged the issue There was a greater issue than that involved. He failed because ho lacked the character which he needed to meet tlie situation and • act as his conscience dictated. He was a weakling. He failed because of it. as he would have failed In anything he attempted. Develop character to meet the situations tn lite, is a lesson to be drawn from the example and j fate of Pontius Pilate, the pro- . curator of Judaea.

Herod returned Jesus to Pilate. All else failing, Pilate washed his hands of the affair and consigned Jesus to the mob. Jesus was mocked and flogged; crowned with thorns and abused. Then he was given the cross on which he was to die and the procession started for Golgotha. But on the way, Jesus fell beneath the load. Simon of Cyrene, who was a spectator, was impressed into service and carried the cross.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? 1 c The Crucifixion ' i QUESTIONS 1. When* and where did the f crucifixion of Jesus take place? 2. What investigations and ' trials were accorded him before 1 he was executed? 3. How did Pontius Pilate at- ’ tempt to save him? 4. What indignities did he suffer before liis crucifixion? - 5. Why was Golgotha so named and what was it? 6. What was the custom of crucifixion? 7. ,What was the wine which < Jesus refused before he was nail- ' ed to the cross? 8. At what hour was he crucified? 9. At what hour did he die? 10. What happened at the moment of his death? ANSWERS 1. The crucifixion of Jesus took place on Golgotha, a lime-j stone hill 200 yards outside the Damascus gate of Jerusalem, on the morning of Friday, Arpil 7. ' 30 A. D. 2. Jesus was first taken before ’ - Annas, high priest who had been j deposed by the Romans, but still was recognized by the Jews as I their leader. He sont Jesus to his son-in-law, Caiaphas, ruling high priest, recognized by the Romans. Caiaphas summoned the Sanhedrin, who sentenced Jesus to death. However, the sentence) could not be pronounced before, sunrise, so a second session was I bold. The Romans held the right ! ) of execution, so Jesus was taken before Pontius Pilate, who sent ; him to Herod, the Roman ruler of Galilee, who returned him to Pilate. Then he finally was sentenced to death. 3. It was the right of the Jews I at the Feast of tho Passover to demand the life of one malefactor sentenced to death. Pilato offered them Barabbas, a robber, but the mob demanded Jesus. 4. When Jesus had been given i into the hands of his enemies, he j | was stripped and scourged, which i was a portion of the punishment I i attending crucifixion. Before this j he had been crowned with thorns ) and robed in purple. These trap- j pings were replaced on him and he was given the cross on which j he was to die. 5. Colgotah was the place of) execution of Jerusalem’s crimin- j als. a limestone hill, resembling | a skull when viewed from a distance. Golgotha is Aramaic for “skull”, ae “Calvary” is Latin. I This execution spot also had a pit I ’ into which the bones of the exe--1 entod criminals were thrown. 6. On Golgotha there stood the uprights of the cross. They wore stationary, as a scaffold. The i cross bar was given to the victim and this ho was obliged to carry to the spot of his death. 7. Crucifixion was a slow and ■ painful death. Tho victim was i nailed to the cross by hands and | feet. There was a small saddle i on which he sat hut his weight rested on the nails. Then the 1 cross was thrust into Its hole. I The charitable women of Jerusalem raised a fund by which they furnished a drugged wine. i This was given the victim before i ) the nailing that his pain might j ! be alleviated. 8. At 9 o’clock in the morning.; 9. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Jesus gave np the ghost. 10 The sky darkened Thera < was an earthquake. The veil of the temple was rent in twain.

At the scene of execution, Jesus refused the drink offered to alleviate his pain. He was nailed to the cross and over his head was placed the inscription: “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews,” in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. Darkness covered the land at noon, and three hours later, Jesus was dead. At the moment of his passing, an earthquake shook the land and the veil of the temple was rent in twain.

True Riches By Harry W. Thompson What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Jesus. When we lay this body down at last to rest, And we sleep unmindful of man's praise or biame; Not what we have, but what we've been, will test Our right to live in memory's hall of fame. • How foolish are the lives of those who strive For lands and gold and thus grow cold and proud; When after all their striving, death arrives And robs them of their all, save just a shroud. Not what you kept my friend, but what you gave Os time and means, of love and sympathy, Goes with you when you seek your lonely grave, And enriches you throughout all time to he.

spread of flames that might even have swept the entire field. The force of the main explosion was told tersely by M. D. Glover, who was injured but not seriously. He was working on a derrick a half mile from the explosion. “I was blown right up against the engine room wall,” he said. “The wall fell in on me and I got burned a bit.” Another oil worker told of being a block away and being “blown clear over a fence.” Six derricks were blown to pieces by the blast. Only their platforms and bent casings remained. o < Governor McNutt Plans Lake Cruise Indianapolis June 3 —(UP) —Gov. Jaul V.
