* z Wavl -We need to remind ourselves that the cross was not a beautiful thing. Today, in our adoption of it as a symbol of our religion, we make it of shining gold, or illuminate its form with sparkling lights, or dress it in beautiful and glorious garments of white. But the cross of Christs crucifixion was not like that. It was anything hot lovely. It was roughly hewn, and of ugly appearance, and became stained with clottod blood. That was what the real cross was and we need to see it like that We had better throw away our golden and beautiful crosses tf'it makes us forget that! There was no attractiveness tn that cross upon Calvary which 2990 years ago bore up the body of our crucified Lord as he paid in blood and suffering and tears and soul anguish for the redemption of the race. If one attempts to prettify the cross, be destroys it. Jesus knew what the real cross would bs. knew its cruelly, its shame, its suffering. , But since there was no other way to redeem human life, he would I not be turned aside. He kept true to bis course."• SstyjrMjßJUS • I Five leaders of the National 1 Council of Presbyterian (U.S.A.)

Many times we are not conscious that we are meeting him. for the Master may be teaching us through the influence of a friend, or. admonishing us through the word* of parents or of wise and trusted colleagues. Our minds may be perplexed, but Jesus always draws near to commune with his disciples if they love him.”
