At Crossroads Os History Time’ And Eternity Met On A Hilltop Outside Os Old Jerusalem Was Enacted The Greatest Story Os The Ages; Now The “Good News” For The World.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Every day every newspaper is scanned by its reporter* to see who has written the "lead" story. Not always does first position on first page mean the most important article. Today 1 know that, regardiees of what news may “break” lor the first page, this is the paramount article of the present issue. For herein is told the greatest story in the world; the supreme fact of time and of eternity, before which the greatest writers have laid down their pens in impotence and angel voices have been hushed. The four inspired Gospel historians. and all the other authors of the New Testament, essayed the theme, yet left it incomplete. For the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was more than the crossroads of history. That little hill called Calvary, which overtops Mt. Everest in meaning, marks the mystery of mysteries, the apex of man's dealing with the Infinite. Even the sun veiled its face in darkness, and the earth trembled, when man's sinand God's justice and God's love met in a reconciling transaction at a common wooden cross, such as Rome provided in abundance for malefactors. Mortal mind is baffled as it gases upon the spectacle of God's sinless Son dying a dreadful death for the redemption of a sinful race. The experience is to high for us. We simply cannot understand the crucifixion and the Atonement. “We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear; Rut we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. “He died that we might be forgiven He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven. Saved by His precious blood." The Mystery of Mysteries Earth's profoundest minds have pondered this event, which to a Roman judge and Roman officials of two thousand years ago, seemed but part of one day's routine of criminal procedure. We know that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified between two thieves as a criminal Minute examination of trial and sentence by acutest legal minds has shown that He was guiltless of the crimes charged against Him by jealously, bigotry, hatred and fear. In the light of His fuller biography, as we have it, it is clear that Jesus was not only guiltless of »»»»»»»*♦ * The Sunday School Lesson for June 14 is The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. —Luke 23:3346. »»»»♦»*♦*

; the charges on which He was cru- ! eified, but. also that He was the sinless Son of the Eternal Father. From motives that exceed the grasp of our puny minds, Jesus went willingly to a fate that He did not deserve and could have escaped by His own volition. Some high compulsion of the Divine Will, and of a love transcending mortal comprehension, effected this supreme sacrifice on the cross. He saved others by refusing to save Himself. In the inexplicable economy of heaven. Christ fulfilled His life purpose by giving Himself a ransom for sinners. All that the In- ' finite God was able to express of His own Father nature wat represented by the death of Jesus on 1 the cross. It is all eternity's supreme mystery, as it is also time’s most important fact. Theologians have laboriously formulated theories about the meaning of the crucifixion. All : we really know, however, is that ' “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. that whosoever believeth in Him should . not perish but have everlasting I life." What It Means tn 1936 It is good for a baffled, bewildered world to stand at gaze today before the cross. We are bogged down I in our own blunders. The best that. : self-interest ami prlCeful know- ■ ledge could do with civilization has ■ left ns deep in the mire. Was humanity ever in a more despondent mood than it is today, standing helpless before on-rushing wars, with the economic machine rolling , relentlessly like a Juggernaut; ovjer the faces of millions of unemI ployed, and with the race's sense lot values hopelessly confused? 1 Only one road seems to lead to i deliverance; and that road runs 'over the hill on which stood three ■crosses. Except humanity can en- ! ter into Christ's own sense of vicariousness, of sacrificial unsclfI ishness, of love to the uttermost, land of obedience to a Will that is t over all, there is no “way out" for - our sorely-smitten world of 1936. f We desparately need a fellowship I of the cross, wherein souls like f Francis of Assissi will wear the "stigmata" of Jesus. In a large so--1 cial sense, as well asin the indiI vidual case, mankind can be savl;ed only by the crucified Christ. > The cross conception of life alone dean deliver the world from death, iOur times cry out, not so much I for reform and recovery, as for re--Idemption. The one light that shin- • es in a dark day throws its beams ;' from the outstretched arms of a blood stained cross. J Fourfold, is the significance of the four ends of the cross. It is i rooted deep in the earth of man's human needs: it points upward to heaven's promises and to mortal ' possibilities: it stretches out its arms to embrace all of humanity.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JUNE G, 1936.

The cross is at once dark with the terrible Stith of Divine Dove. Man’s need and God's mercy meet on Calvary. Where Was Calvary? More than once I have stood on the northern wall of old Jerusalem and mused upon the possible site of Calvary—for that most important spot on earth is unknown to man. Some say it is within the gloomy Church of the Holy Sepulchre, while others follow General Gordon's fantastic theory that it was a hill, above two caves, just across the road from the modern wall. Archaeologists discredit both views. It was probably somewhat | to the north of the old city, and near by; though I cannot dismiss the possibilities of Olivet. Doubtless it is well that we do not know, and never can know: for the physical site ipight take precdence of the spiritual truth. It is enough for us to know that once, on a little hill outside the wall of old Jerusalem, heaven came closest to earth, when the overarching and dauntless love of the Heavenly Father reached down to save His sinful sons of earth by the offering up on a cross of His only-begotten and well-beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

They will view the progress and growth of Decatur and Adams County and will admire the progressive spirit that is manifest amongst our entire population. They will also visit our cemeteries to pav respect to their loved ones burried there. The old saying “You can judge a community by its Church Yards and Cemeteries” still holds true and happily for the citizens of Adams County they need not be ashamed of their cemeteries. Visitors will be pleased with the well kept lawns, clean drives and artistic memorials. The caretakers have done their work well. Some graves are unmarked at present but many will be graced with a fitting tribute before Centennial week arrives. We have a large stock of artistic memorials on hand and many monuments under construction and will be in a position to erect many memorials before August if you will place your order early. We have small markers for children — those little angels that have gone before. Their names should be engraven in stone and the mounds above their remains be made in a shrine for reflection and even thanksgiving for having an angel to meet us when we pass on. feg SviAdii 1 'JUS*. !> Wemhoff Monumental Works DECATUR, INDIANA
