> of tbo Cm No event in human history has been >* variously interpreted as the death of I I ■l esus r ‘ st ' And yet there is no reason I I f° r t ' ,ese var ‘ ous "interpretations.” L —J The Bible’s statements on the death of Christ do not need interpreting as much r3s< *’ nee< l Tea< l in g- A m«aic of Bible quotes will suffice to illustrate: "Christ died for our sins.”—"Who H' s own here our sins in His own b°dy on the cross.”—"God commendeth Taw/ H‘ s 10Ve toward us in that, while we were 'iWu.hk'j\ y« sinners, Christ died for us.” "Christ suffered for our sins, the Just for the unjust.”—"Christ died for the ungodly.”—“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us.”— "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (reconciliation) for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”—"The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, deanseth us from all sin.” Remember, the above are not interpretations. They are simple Bible statements. The Scripture, then, leaves no one in doubt as to why Jesus died. He died to pay the punishment and to remove the guilt of all the sins of all the world —so that all who in faith accept Him as their Ransom and Redeemer might go free. That, and that above all else, is the message of the Christian Church to the world today. Have you found your pardon in that Word? ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH W.

Farm Boy Confesses To Poisoning Coffee Confesses Putting Arsenic In Coffee Vincennes, March 29—(UP)— Kenneth Pace, 18, was held without charge today after confessing he sifted powdered rat poison into a coffee pot from which four of his relatives drank and became violently ill. Knox county sheriff Francis Thomas said the husky farm boy admitted slipping arsenic into the pot to "make my father sick.” The father, Ed Pace,. 45, and three other members of the family, including a five-year-old girl, drank the coffee and were sick.. But ’ laboratory technicians who analyzed Uie coffee said there was too much poison in it to kill anyone. Young Pace, who spent nearly two years in the Indiana boys’; school because he often took his; father’s automobile without permission, was held pending an investigation by prosecutor Janies Lewis. The boy’s father said Kenneth resented his refusal to let him have the family automobile. ( Pace was released from thei boys’ school only a month, ago.: The poisoning happened late in February but relatives did not re-j port it to police until a few days ’ ago. ; Pace was jailed Sunday after a ; laboratory report was submitted to the sheriff.

The father said his five-year-old granddaughter, Susie, became ill after she drank several spoonsful of the coffee. Pace said he then drank some and was sick. Then he poured the rest of the coffee in a fruit jar and put it away. A week later, his daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Trowbridge, Wheatland. Ind., and her husband visited Pace. He told them the story and they doubted that the coffee was poisoned, he said. The Trowbridges sampled the coffee. Both became ill. Authorities said young Pace admitted he bought the poison in a grocery and hid it at home. After sifting some in the coffee pot, he said he left home.
