The world was represented by Caiaplias, Herod, Pilate. Although Pilate could find no fault in this man, lie saw that it was highly dangerous not to consent to Christ’s death. He compensated Ids conscience by having an inscription w'ritten in three languages saying that Christ was king of the Jews. But whether he washed his hands m water or ink. he could nol remove the blool
guilt.

According to the Rev. Beck many of those in business, industry and plcusuie today are finding Christ impossible. The Christ they pray to is somebody who will not interfere with their lives. But these cannot escape their guilt for thwarting th" cause of the New Testament Chris-
tianity.
The minister then indicated 'the positives of New Testament Christianity. He declared the New Ti lament Christians had an abiding sense of God and a spiritual world. The Eternal was not a “wish-being” to them but a vivid reality This made for reverence, fearlessness and expectancy. These early Christians had a conviction of a divine calling. They were on no fool’s errand, but a high commission that gave them dire tion and purpose. They knew, fuither, that the; weir respon.-iblo ami would be held accountable for this high commission. Because Christ prayed “Thy will not mine be done" we have His church today. The turn we give to these positives of the New Testament Christians may make us as guilty as Pilate, the speaker declared. Convictions cf God and our responsibility may lose thrir force in a weal; sentimentalism. Love may degenerate into mere “good nature." 'False tolerance may d troy our sense of dis rimination; false rodism may di tort our view cf man uni his purp se. the power and energy tf vital religion may be lost in false aestheticism ind empty forms.
