This Lesson Concerns Jesus on Trial Before Pilate

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Msr'h t Christ before Pilate: The Trial o’ ' Jesus. —X attbew 37:11-26. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. (Edtor of The Congre?at , oi..ihbt) Jesus stood on trial betore Pilate, but it was Pilate who v/aa really being tried. He who posed as judge had stood condemned throughout the ages. * History has been full of such strange reversals df Judgment. The despised proplut, stoned or* disregarded in Ms own generation, has frequently been the chief occasion for the world to remember that generation. \ Though the Christian movement had not gathered great external strength when Paul wrote the words he was a true seer when he wrote of God choosing “the weak things of this world to confound the things that are mighty, and the things that are naught to bring to naught the things that are.” Pilate regarded Jesus with the not-unkindly contempt which the man of ambition, and power, and success, has for the impractical man, the dreamer and visionary. There is no Indication of venom, er of hatred, or even of prejudice and antagonism. If there is any prejudice it seems more against the accussers of Jesus whose fanaticism and rabid Intolerance Pilate seemed to regard with scorn. There is evidence In the narrative that Pilate, assuming at first toward Jesus an attitude of amused and careless contempt, ended by assuming a measure of respect and fear. He discovered that he had before him no vague and ordinary dreamer. WTiat Is Truth? There was the calm dignity of a king in this Galilean carpenter, and when Pilate asked him, apparently teaalngly. “Art thou a king then?” he was hardly prepared for the answer: "Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I bom. and for this cause came I Into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." The cynical retort, "What is truth?” was the reply of a man on the defensive, weak and doubtful in the presence of a man of calm assurance and conviction. What we ought to realize is that

Getting the Most Out of Lent

By REV. L. C. E. FACKLER Pastor St. Mathew’s Lutheran Church The word "Lent” Is of Anglo-Saxon origin, signifying spring, and refers to the lengthening of days. But in the Christian sense it Is that season of the year which has been set apart for the special consideration of our Savior’s suffering. The people ought to have a little time to consider the great sufferings of Chris?, which were endured so that redemption might be had. Then ministers ought to explain those texts which sneak of Christ’s suffering. Christ's suffering is a reality and It ought to tie dealt with as such. When the people realize, from Ood’s how impossible it is for any man to free himself from the cuise of the law, and how necessary It was that Christ should be our substitute, they will properly value salvation. He that does not believe In Christ as the Redeemer of the world shall be damned. A Great 1/mon I find the people want to hear about Christ, and it Is my desire to enlighten my congregation thai Christ’s suffering will not be in vain for them. I expect a larger attendance this year at our Lenten services, which will be held Sunday evenings, than what we have ever had. For that reason I have arranged a series of illustrated lectures on the sufferings of Christ. The following are the dates of the night lectures: March I, "Gathering Opposition.” March 8. "First Three Days of Holy Week.” March 15, "From Conspiracy of Jews to Arrest." March 22, “Walking on Sacred Soil," by Mr. Shahla, a native of Jerusalem. March 29, sermon, "A Lent Well Spent.” April 5, “Trial and Condemnation.” April 10, Good Friday, 8 p. m., "The Crucifixion." April 12, sunrise service at 6 am., "He la Risen.” t Special Feature In the midst of the Lenten season we have arranged a real treat for our worshipers. We are having a native of Jerusalem to tell us about and show us the pictures of Jerusalem and the Mount -of Olives, where Christ endured His great agony. We want to make a lasting impression upon our hearers by helping them to make use of two senses —sight and hearing—in gathering the information concerning the suffering Savior.

Pilats was as much responsible for the death of Jesus as Judas, who betrayed Him, or he Jews who demanded His death, or the soldiers who actually crucified Him. The sin of Pilate, the sin of awe&k impartiality in relation to moral and spiritual issues, the si nos cynical self -satisfaction and sordid self-pres-ervation, the sin of a worldly ambition which flouts all spiritual considerations and questions of truth —is much more widely prevalent than the sin of Judas, but it is no less deadly in its consequences. What is our verdict? Does He fare better before us than He fared before Pilate? Do we state that we "find no fault in him,” but none the less send Him away as Pilate did? Knew He Ued Pilate took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,

"I am Innocent of the blood of this Just person.” But he knew that he lied. No ceremonial can cleanse the guilt of a man who has consented to wrong, by not doing what is in his power to prevent it. It is easy to say that Pilate was a coward, but It is more important to discover the things that made him a coward. What were they? Vanity, ambition, lust of preferment and power, cynicism, and the failure to find any law of Justice and right and service. The Pilates have been many, but there Is only one Jesus of Nazareth. They have been seemingly tri umphant, but the world is strewn with the wreck of their rule and empire, while the King of Truth still goes forth conquering and to conquer.

Mrs, Mary Case Has Been a Bible Instructor Since She Was 13 Years Old —Finds That Men and Women Are Reading the Bible More Today, By THE VISITOR Sixty years as a Sunday school teacher is the splendid record of Mrs. Mary Case, 2636 College Ave. At present she is conducting an adult Bible class for women at the Central Universalist Church.

As tho result of her method of teaching, as well as ' her inspiration, many men and women havs become teachers in Sunday schools of all denominations. Mrs. Case taught her first Bible lesson when she was only 13 years old, and even at her advanced fige today she does not miss a Sunday at the Universalist Church. , Before joining the Universalist Church Mrs. Case was a member of the Episcopal Church, and taught in a mission church in New York State. Then for fifty years she taught Bible classes In Muncle, Ind., before coming to Indianapolis. Teaches Big Class In Muncle Mrs. Case had the honor of teaching an adult class on Friday nights composed of women from all denominations. "These women understood the Bible and they took great pleasure in meeting and discussing the various questions,” Mrs. Case told me. Mrs. Case is of the opinion that more people are reading and giving serious thought to the Bible In the last ten or fifteen years than formerly. “I impress upon members of my class that the Bible Is not Just one book, but sixty-six books,” she said. "That is the best way to approach the Bible. I recently said before a club that we mustn’t expect too much from the early folk-lore women. "Men want to know the truth about the Bible. That Is proved by the great number of men, classes ranging from a hundred to two hundred, who make up the adult classes in the various Sunday schools on Sunday. "I like to teach from the 20th Century text, because It is very plain. A child can read it and understand. We have made progress since the days of the King James version," she told me. No Damage ' Mrs. Case Is of the opinion that the modem standard versions of the Bible have not ruined the spiritual beauty of the original, but rather has aided in making the book more clear to many people. Years of constant study and teaching of the Bible has brought great Joy to Mrs. Case. At times she may be found reading and explaining parts of the Bible to her housekeeper on ironing day. The reason for the State wide success of Mrs. Case is that she

applies the modem methods of Bible teaching. That coupled with her splendid knowledge of the Bible has made her one of the leading Instructors of the Bible in this State.
