Some who could the situation understand had gone and were perhaps by that time enduring the scoffing of those who had no sympathy with thein. The, vast majority there present were opposed to• Jesus Christ, among these were Roman soldiers, Scribes, Pharisees, Sad- ducees, chief priests and elders; In the distance are some stand- ing "afar off:" Althoughperhaps they had felt it to their •advant- age to be associated with the fol- lowers of Christ yet now when things had not turned out as they expected they felt they would rather not be associated with Him in any way. They too are willing to crucify their Lord. As we look at them we see some whom we know personally, Can it be pos- sible there are members of our own • family? Finally among the crowd of those who are antagon- istic to our Saviour we see our- selves. We say "It is impossible. I have not crucified our Lord," Bat it is true. Every day we are crucifying Christ afresh by our thoughts, words and actions. We join in the words of the hymn: "On a hill fat` away Stood an old rugged cross , An emblem of suffering and shame." By "PEG" "Easter is Easter, not becaus Jesus roae long ago, but because Z%.stil� lives, and because there aare among us'those who know thal;' He lives." The editor of one of our lead ing journals was walking alon the sea shore one Easter morning He began a conversation with an old fisherman, a man who ha simple faith in the risen Lord "How do you know that Christ is risen?" he asked. "Sir," the old gentleman replied, "do you see those cottages near the cliffs Well, sir. sometimes when I am far out at sea' I know that the sun is risen by the 1}ght that is re- flected by yon cottage windows. How do I know that Christ is risen? Why, sir, do,I not see his light reflected from the faces•of some of my fellows every day, and do I not feel the light of His glory in my own life? As soon tell me that the sun is not risen e g • dwhen 'T' see} is reflected glory,'as tell me that my Lord is not risen.' In the ,Easter message we have the story of the crucifixion of our Saviour, and aise the fact which is the hope of the world, that is that Christ rose again. Had He not risen it would have meant that death ended everything for us but with the glad assurance of • BUSINESS AND. PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY LEGAL H,• T.

He will rise again and according to our own wishes we will spend Eternity with or without Him. What a choice and to think that we are free will agents and our resurrection will be either a glad or a sad one for us. To Christians the Easter Sav- iour brings a very wonderful message, there is none better in the world. . Let us just look back over the centuries to that tragic day. Pilate was a very weak man. He had the same difficulty we have. He was afraid of public opinion. He asked ,;the : question, "What then shall I' do with Jesus which is. 'galled Christ?" He had had the opportunity of seeing the Master, hut Christ was to him just a curiosity as He is to many today. He was not a believer in Christ nor in His teachings, therefore in the most critical moment of his life he knewnot where to go for counsel. ` The answer to the ques- tion as to what He should do with Christ was supplied by the mob and Pilate followed their advice and sentenced Jesus to the most terrible of all deaths—crucifixion. Will we not, both Christians' and non -followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, go back over the centuries and stand with the crowd which surrounded the three crosses on Mount Calvary. The: figure on the centre cross was well known to the cruel mob which surrounded the Mount. The two thieves which hung on either side of our Saviour were of little consequence. It was Christ the jeering crowd wanted to see suf- fer, for what? Simply for doing what was right and good. Pilate could find no fault in Him. We at times wonder if the anxious, questioning thoughts of Pilate had led him to that scene, after he had washed his hands, thinking in that way to absolve himself from the Warne of his unjust sentence. An angry Crowd surrounded the three crosses. Jesus looked down and surveying the mob, said: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" When we become annoyed over some trivial thing do we look back at that scene. Perhaps it will give us a chance to feel ashamed of ourselves. It is true there were a compara- tive few•there who were sympath- izers. Their minds must have been in a confused state. They had believed that Christ would reign as an Earthly King, and they could not understand the tragic end of His career. Still they be- lieved in Him and wanted to be with Him to the end.

Give right-of-way to emergency calls: TIM DELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA It is indeed "an emblem of suf- fering and shame" and part of that shame and suffering was due to our neglect of Him. We cannot deny it, we must stop and ask ourselves the question, "Can I do the things I am doing and not crucify the Lord?" When the mob saw Christ hang- ing on the cross they felt that was the end of the influence of Jesus. For three years they had striven to do away with Him and now they had obtained their ob-• jective. But was that the end of the influence of Jesus? No! the Sunday following his sacrificial death on the cross Christ arose from the tomb and with that re- surrection carpe our certain assur- ance of a glorious reunion with our Saviour and with those whom we love and who have gone • to that land `which' is fairer than day." The life of our Saviour, espec- ially during His ministry was not a happy one and perhaps His last week on. Earth was the most un, happy. The unjustice which had been meted out to Him seemed to reach its culmination. Yet there were some things which must have touched Him, as Be hung on he cross and looked around Him. At the last moment the thief be- side Him asked that he might Thomas Pryde Leads Speech From Throne Huron Riding's new member of the Ontario Legislature, Thomas Pryde, had the honour of leading off the debate on the Speech from the Throne. He made an excel- lent' impression in his maiden speech in the Legislative As- semby, particularly stressing the need for opportunities for young men and women so they would not find it necessary to "seek their fortunes elsewhere." Here are a few verbatim ex- cerpts from the address: "Land of the Heather" "At this time I must express my • deep appreciation of the kindly remarks made by the Prime Minister, the honourable Leader of the Opposition and honourable Leaders of the other groups in this House. It was quite noticeable that the remarks were not so much personal; they were directed more at the circumstance that I was burn in Scotland and that being so, much will be ex- pected of me. 'tI also want to say, the bouquet of heather which adorned my desk was a gracious tribute to my na- tive Jand and I want to thank the donor for all the kind things said and for the manner in which the remarks were received by the honourable members. I want to say a sincere thank you. "There was ample evidence that there are only' two races in this world, 'The Scotch and those whb would like to be Scotch,' I believe 51 per cent of the honour- able members who came forward to congratulate me cast longing eyes on that bouquet of heather. I was happy to present each one with a sprig provided they could prove they, or one of their an- cestors, came from the land of Burns, the land of porridge and the. Shorter Catechism. Yes! I was born in Scotland am quite proud of the land which gave me birth; proud of many Scottish traditions, "I think it was Scott who said "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never -to himself hath said—this is my own, my native land." Lenity to your native land is no mean virtue, but I am a Canadian by adoption. I chose this country' in which to live of"my own free will. This is the land in which I have lived for nearly 40 years, where I have earned my living, raised my fam- lia' and made,my home. I owe share Eternity with Him; . many, much to Ontario. of His followers stood beside Him "Atlhough not an Ontarion by n spite of the fact that they were birth, I am proud to be one of her n danger of their lives; John, his leitizens and have • tried m some avorite disciple provided a home small measure to serve the people or Mary, the Mother of Jesus, with whom I live. Now that I and it must have been a great joy to Him to realize that at least some who had accepted His sal- vation had remained faithful. f f When our time comes to answer God's call will it find us ready? Will we be worthy of Christ and His "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of Thy Lord," What a wonderful day that will be! If the Christ who died had stopped at the Cross,` His work had been incom- plete; If the Christ who was buried had stayed in the tomb He had only known defeat, find myself where I am to -day, I hope it will only, mean a further opportunity to serve my fellow Canadians and be of some value, to this House. * "Salt of the Earth" "The people of Huron are mostly But the way of the Cross never stops at the Cross, And the way of the tomb leads on, To victorious grace in the Heavenly place Where the risen Lord has gone. �� l74r1" PEG' Now In Stock 1" and 2" Lumber Birch Plywoods Swedish Board Arborite Sturdy Wheelbarrows Farm equipment repairing done promptly Agent for Garden City Ornamental Iron Works, Steel Poreli and Verandah Railings Watch this colunm weekly for Building supply news J.

I need not here recite all their virtues but they are the salt of the earth, and not easily swayed. They think a question through before reaching a decision, That is why I believe the Government should be so happy in receiving the endorsation of people of that type. ' "It is not highly industrialized, but principally an agricultural county. There are a number of factories in the towns and villages which we Wish to see developed, and which, in turn, will add to the prosperity of .the neighbour- ing agricultural districts. "But in Huron we also have something else, which should not be overlooked and of which we are very proud. I refer to two Air Training Schools — RCAF. Station, Centralia, which trains air crew and other specialized flying training, and RCAF. Sta- ton, Clinton where students re- ceive their training in radar and allied fields of communication. "There are many hundreds of young men stationed at those two schools and together with their wives and families make an im- portant contribution to the life of the adjoining communities, I want to say a word on their be- half. "These young men are train- ing and preparing themselves in advance to protect this country— your homes and mine—and should another war come upon us, re - ;member that these are the men to whom we will look, to organize, train and equip the defence forces of this country. I have met many hundreds of these men, officers and .airmen, and they are of a very high standard of intelligence. When the test comes you may de- pend upon it they will measure ,up to the high standards of the Royal Canadian Air Force. * w e Agriculture Basic "Agriculture, as I told you, is the basic industry in Huron, and it is still the basic industry in teh Province, We are aware that one of the greatest difficulties ex- perienced in rural districts is To keep the young people in the com- munity and prevent their migra- tion to the city in too great num- bers.
