Christ came to the .world to die

We read in history that at the time a "wondrous cross?" The Christian
cross uppentrost in our minds at
the present time. The two thieves
wereput to death on the same form
of cross. Then who do we not speaki
of them as bewondrous? WhY
rase that expression in regard to the
centre one?
The reason is .that the "hundreds
who had been crucified ,prior to that
time had been sentenced to death for
Borrie erime which they had coamnitted
but Jesus Christ was guiltless of any
sin. His life was blameless. He had
Willingly' loft His Fathers Home
above, had come to earth, suffered
such as no one else ever did; had
been brought before an unjust judge
who sentenced Flim to death, the
most cruel death on the cross. Why
was all this done? In order that
we might be saved from the just
punishment of our sin and that Christ
might stand as a Mediator between
God and man. Is it any wonder we
call it a "wondrous cross?"
Jesus would never call it a cross
of martyrdom. It was the pine*
of the crucifixion of Christ there were
three forms of crosses. This node of
punishment was perhaps the . iron
severe and painful that the world
has ever seen. One was,niade by
crossing two pieces of wood at the
centre. This was known;, as St.
Andrew's cross, so named .l because
it was used for St. Androw at: Petrai.
St. Anthony's cross was •shaped like
the letter T; the Christian Crops (so
well known), a straight ,piece of
wood, similar to a seantliag with a
erose bar attached about quarter way
down from the top.
• "When t survey the wondrous
cross,
On which the Prince of Glory
died,
My Tiehest gain I count but
loss,
And pour contempt en all
my pride."
We know that many many prison-
' ers were crucified on a so -culled
Christian cross, so why do we speak
of the cross in the above verse as

shoeld eeere. There eves' no 'other
way in which we might be saved.
As we read the passage of scrip-
ture velan.g 'to` the suetee of ,our
thoiugitt today, we cannot even im-
agine
m-
ai ne the e tory of nil Man of Sm' -
rows, as following His sentence by
Pilate He joined the procession in
which He was the central figure.
With Him there were a few close
friends. They were there although
they' knew it was at their own risk.
The vast majority of those who walk-
ed along with Him jostling and
shoving Him; stoning and spitting
upon Hien, whipping Him with knot-
ted cords, were His enemies. How it
must have pleased Him as he saw
the sympathy of His friends! If
there was ever a time when He
needed Christian friendship it was
then. It is
true that many, even of
those who (followed Him most closely
understood little of the real meaning
of :it all. They believed that He
would rule an ..earthly world, and
some of them at least expected to
have high positions when Christ set
up His earbhly Kingdom. They has
only had three years of , omradship
with Him and we cannot wonder
that they were bewildered.
That ,procession is something which
we would like to draw a euetain over,
but we should owned ourselves to
visualize it in order that we might
realize more fully ,just what oar Sav
ious has done for us,
Previous to the time this dreadful
yet triumphdnt procession started
Christ had stood in Pilate's judgment
hall. Such a court scene had never
been witnessed before nor will it be
again. He had been attired in a
scarlet robe, a maim of thorns had
been placed on Hes head and as a
sceptre he was compelled to hold
a reed in His hand. Thus attired, a
mock audience was held with Him as
,an earthly King.

When he Was about 16 years of age
his father was called to Minister to

As we think over these things, we
who have been perhaps rebelling over
•some cross which has come into our
lives need only to compare our cress
with that of our Saviour and we
will feel that we have little to
grumble about. There it no one who
has not some cross to bene, but as
we look around us 'we find others
who are much worse off than we are.
Even while Chuist was dying on
the cross, the jeering crowd still
mocked Hem wailing to Him to assert
His power and ``come down from the
cross." The reaction of Christ to
this is shoevn in His prayer, ''Father,
forgive them, for they know not what
they do."
One of the saddest utterances in
the earthly life of Jesus were His
words from the cross when our Sav-
iour in His dire distress cried: "My
God, my God, why bast Thou for-
sal:en me?" Our deepest thought

GEORGE' GARRET"P
A funeral service was held at the
Beattie Funeral Home, Monday
March 33, for George Garrett, a life-
long resident of Huron Cooney. Rev.
A. W. Gardiner, Fgmondville, offic-
iated assisted by Rev, A. D. Penanan,
Londeeboro. During the service Don
McNall, accompanied by Mrs, Edwin
Wood sssng "The Old Rugged Cross".

fain Brutniey, Joseph Lyon, Stanley
Lyon, Warren Whtmore and Alden
•C'rich. 'Flower bearers were three
grandsons Frank -and Bert Garrett
and Lloyd Charter. Interment took
place in Clinton Cemetery,
Mr. Garrett was born and spent
almost his entire lifetime on the farm
located on No. 4 Highway, two mites
south of Blyth. He was a staunch
member of Londesboro United Church
and for many years .held the office
of elder.
He is survived by his widow, the
former Elizabeth Parks, two soars
Newnnam, London, and Norman on the
staff of the Clinton Collegiate Instit-
ute, and one daughter, Margaret Mrs.
Derwin Carter, * ondessboro,
MRS. NEIL YELLOWLEES
Death has claimed' another former
resident of Clinton and district in the
erson of .Mrs, Neil Yellowlees. Death
cannot fathom the agony which
prompted that question as He fought
there, without even the presence of
His Heavenly Father.
It (was the love of Jesus Christ
towards those who hated Him and
would not accept Hine that was ee
sponsible for His sacrificial death or,
the cross. Each one of us belongs
to the mob who are crucifying Him
today and in many ways we are re-
newing that agony for Him day
after day. We know that death could
not hold 'Jesus and that on the third
day He arose, making it possible for
those who love Hint and accept Him
to enjoy eternity with Hint. Wo
can, each one of us, help to bear
His cross. '
"Easter is Easter, not because
Christ arose long ago, but because
13e still lives".
"Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's a cross for me.
The couaecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to
wear,
For there's a crown for me.
0 precious cross! 0 glorious Drown!
0 resurrection day!
Ye angels, Loin the stars come
down
And bear my soul away."
