SELECTION—For God to loved the world, that he gave hit onh begotten Son, lhat whov.,ever i>elieveth in him should no: perlan but have everlasting life —John 3 I*. The cross of Calvary, from man’s viewpoint, was “a paradox. There is something startling and seemingly incredible about the idea of a crucified king, particularly if those who do the crucifying are the king'* own subjects Kingship implies rulership over others, and not suffering and death at their hands, i Pilate told the simple truth when he exclaimed. Behold your King.’ and when he flung out the sarcastic question. ‘Shall I crucify your King’’ he was speaking more truly than he knew They were, verily, doing the incredible thing of demanding the death of their King, their Messiah, yea, of the very Son ’ of God’’ (B L. Olmstead!. I. Jesus Said. "I Am a King" (18 37. 38). Jesus was before Pilate The Jews had accused him of declaring himself to be king (see Luke 23 2) Pilate demanded. "Art thou King of the Jews?" (v. 33'. Jesus did not answer directly at first, but declared his kingdom to be "not of this world" (v. 38). indicating to Pilate that he was dealing with One who was more than an earthly king. When Pilate persisted. Jesus openly declared. "I am a king." The expression "Thou sayest" <v 37) carries the thought. "You say that 1 am a king and you are right. I am a king." It was in no sense , a disavowal of his royalty, but a declaration of it. , Pilate, troubled, convinced of Christ’s innocency but too cow- 1 ardly to deciare it. hid behind man's 1 proverbial inability to know the ‘ truth <v. 38). and wrote himself < into history as a hypocritical cow- t a rd. I What have we to say—what have 1 you to say dear reader, to Christ’s , claim to Kingship over your life” , Should we not say, "He is not only king of the Jews, he is the King of my life"? 11. The Priest* Said. "We Have No King * (19:19-16). Pilate, in fleshly pride, taunted 1 Jesus with his power to determine his fate. He did have much power 1 as the representative of Rome, but 1 power wr Jesus he did not have. ■ Majestic indeed was the reply of ' 1 the King. In a brief sentence Jesus put Pilate on trial before the judgment throne of God. Only because the time had come for the Son of | God to die was Pilate permitted to exercise his governmental power , (see Rom. 13:1). and he would answer for his decision one day in the ■ , presence of God. Os especial interest to us just ' now is the statement of Jesus: "He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin." It was the high priest Caiaphas who had that guilt Yes. and it was the high priest* who declared, "We have no king but Caesar." after Pilate, driven by their cunning threat (v. 12), had sarcastically asked them. * Shall 1 j crucify your king 1 " <v. 15). The awful declaration Which they made then was on behaif of the entire nation, and declared themselves 1 against Jesus and loyal to the pagan Caesar. No King’’ Countless are the men and women today who by their rejection of Christ have declared that they would not have him rule over them And sad but true is the fact ; that those who neglect to receive J his great salvation have rejected him' 111. Jews Said, "ft I* Finished" (19; 35 30) In his time of greatest anguish Jesus, in an act of tender thoughtfulness. provided tor his mother, and gave the beloved disciple John a high place of privilege and responsibility. He thus, a* he made his last request, brought together the two who in all his human relationships had been closest to his heart Ready for the final word before he died. Jesus received tnc Refreshment which quenched hi* awful thirst Then crying out with a loud voice. "It is finished” < Hatt. 27:50). he commended hi* »oul into Unhands of the Father <Luke 23 M) What was finished? The great redemptive work, the work of reconciliation and atonement. The Lamb of God had made hl* great sacrifice for the world—it is this that wa: completed Our great Substitute had paid th* great ransom price, paid | ft to the uttermost farthing “ft is finished indeed. Others will yet preach and teaeh. and Jesus will work through them; as the King an David a throne bi* regal work util continue forever; but the re demptive shedding es hi* Hood met ter tfi rt «m*bed. and staass fi* tedafted forever (Meb. 7:27; 9.12 38: Rom •:»»’ (R C ft- LenuuL «J.* a S-Tfeg! »? te

County School Superintendent States Position On School Law

(By Lyman L. Hann, county super--1 Intendent of schools) * So much ha* been written re- ’ cently about a group of people who propose to leave the state because ot our Interpretation and enforcementiof school law*, that It aeems to me this office Is entitled to 4* hearing. Some five .year* ago two representatives of the "Reformed Christian Amish church" came to this office to potest ugainsl their (hidten’s i>eing compelled to listen to minister* speak at the weekly chapel exercise* at the Monroe high school These leader* assured me they did not object to schooling, and that they did not ask the privilege which had Isen accorded the Orthodox Amrti of keeping their children out of high school I ex plained that we do not force religious education on anyone. but that we understand the compulsory edu cation law. passed In 1921. should l>e construed to apply to all child en under IS They professed them ■elves content with thta disclsion A short time later thereafter they (um«- again to my office to ask permission to open a parochial school for their grade children Since they had quite often gone to the teachers In the public schools lo protest against such aeemily innocent things as having their i ihildren help decorate a Christmas tree in school. I thought it best: to allow this to Im- done; and after, consultation with the state super Intendant, permission was given, and later a commission was Issued ; to their school. They were highly gratified with this ami appeared to be satisfied, however they were i back in about six months asking that they lx- allowed to get up acorn hined grade ard high school, and to hire one teache to teach ail eight grades and two years high

When I explained tha this was impossible, they appealed to the state department for a hign school commission Being referre back to me they kept up their requwts until I must confess I began to lose patience. That fall they I<dd me plainly they would no longer send their children to the Monroe high school; but Bite: some court action they reconsider*** and sent them until they were 16. During all this time I have steadifustly held to the theory (hat even a parent has no right to deprive hi* children of the minimum edu cation guaranteed by the state Within the past few months I have had inquiries from a numl>e of I heir own young people- - ones who have been deprived of a valuable education by their own parent* asking how they could com i piste high school outside school, and I have been just as eager to help them do this as I would have lieen had they stayed in school. .One of their young men, sfter some j years of honorable service fa the armed force*, secured a high school diploma by the G E.
