a vacation journey, Jesus put to his most intimate friends this question: “Who do men say that I am?” Peter’s answer, “Thou art the Christ,” may sound obvious to us, but was not obvious then.

It was sensational so much so that Jesus did not want the publicity that would come to him if that name “Christ” were freely circuited. For the word “Christ” meant nothing less than "King." To the Romans it would sound like treason; but to the Jews it would sound like Judgment Day. When Peter said, “You are the Christ,” he was implying also: "You are immortal. You are the coming conqueror of the world. You are not in the same class with any other man. Yon will do for mankind what no other hero has ever done.” • • • God’s View and the Devil’s ON ALL THAT glowing devotion Jesus’ next announcement fell like icy rain. In the ears of those friends of his it sounded like the bell of death. Never before had Jusus told them anything like this, and they must have found it hard to believe. For he had not a word about a throne, nothing about success, nothing about mastering the * world. Quite the contrary. He must “suffer, many things... be rejected ... be killed." If they heard the words "rise again” too, the words made no impression. For Jesus had announced what to them seemed impossible, absurd: He, the Christ, would be killed! Small wonder that Peter broke out— No, Nq! But Jesus would not compromise. He even called Peter “Satan” for* thinking as he did. The Christaln church agrees with Jesus, not with Beter. We realise today, as Peter himself did afterwards, what the Crocs of Christ means. Buddha, founder of a very different religion, died in old age of overeating Can you imagine Jesus doing that? Suppose Jesus had taken Peter’s advice and made arrangements to retire comfortably where he would never see a cross? Then we never should have heard of him. He would not have been worth hearing from. ft* . One Cross is Not Enough YES, WE KNOW now that the Cross of Christ is Important. But we are a good deal like Peter, after all. For we do not listen to what tie do not like to hear. And 'the next words of Jesus, on that historic occasion, must have sounded then as they do now. most chilling of all. “Whosoever would come after me, let him take his own cross and follow me." In Jesus' time no one was ever seen carrying a cross who was not already under sentence of death and on his way to be executed. Translated inta modern terms, what Jesus said wovM sound as horrible as this: Any man who wishes to follow me must take bis sraj on the electric chair . . must take his place in the lethal chamber .. . must pul his neck In a noose .. . and follow me. One cross is not enough. There must be other crosses My road ii a death-march. I want for my fol lowers only those who are willini to take the same trail * * • Trail ol the Crow SUCH WORDS sounded ha/sh then they do still. But in the lighi of the centuries, we eon see whal Jesus meant, better than that iittlr band of frightened men wound Je sus who did not want to hear thr words “suffer . . dse ” Jesus wai not advocating pain for pain'g sake. Why did Jews set his own face toward the cress? The Christian answer is. He dM B—for others. New whal ie wrong with the world lodar* It taa’t that we don't wish onr neigh hors we». hot the IrMke to. we dea'l want to he bothered, ear good-will is too leader to stand aay strain, we wM do anything tor othrr people pravided H doesn't hurt.

Decatur Man Given Penal Farm Sentence Saying “it is almost impossible for me to .believe that a man of reason would he guilty of the crime with which you are charged," circuit court Judge Myles F. Parrish today sentenced Ralph Bennett, Decatur, to 60 days at the state penal farm and fined him $lO and costs. Judge Parrish recommended that Bennett, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of indecently exposing himself to a teenaged girl Tuesday evening, be given a psychiatric examination on arrival at the penal farm. A report by two Decatur physicians appointed by the court to examine him indicated that Bennett understood the charge made against him and 'knew, the difference .between right and wrong.
