One could go through the history of the, ;world and time after • time we" would see instances of where men and women have 'given their all to their country, and yet for some reason or other, defeat has been their" People claim that it is much better to be taken Home at the -heightof their power, but no matter how they have striven to do their best, nor how sudden has been their call, yet tha'e are always, some who will find fault. Apparently, practically all earthly men and women, at some time or other, are defeated. One does not need to take any public office hoping never to meet with any unpleasant- ness, for it will be sure to strike us. Nor can'we hope to retain an office year after year, putting our very best into the work and yet in the end not meet with defeat. There are Many times when our sympathy goes out to those who have worked hard and have given a great deal of their time to bring about some projeet. They have accomplished what seem to meet with ingratitude. It ,may be we should not judge these things, 'for we dd not know • all the circumstances bat we can at leadt have our tlionghts. Again we ask the question: "Do all great men go down to defeat?" No, they do not, The Cweatest Map who ever lived did not go down to defeat. Let us look back over the centuries and visualize a scene just outside the walls of Jerusalem. There, on Mount Calvary, are three crosses. On the' centre one, Jesus Christ ' the Saviour of the World, i$ handing. On either side, on a similar cross, are two malefactors paying the price for their sins. Jesus, the Son of God, was sinless and was hanging there to satisfy the jealousy and hat- red of the, mob who were jeering around the Cross. He had left His Pather's Home up above of his own free will that He might come to. earth in order to save us from the due sentence for our sins. Here He lived a life such as no one else lived. He chose the disciples to carry on His work and taught them haw to spread the Gospel when He had left them. He performed many miracles healing the sick, mak- ing the deaf to hear, and the lathe to walk, and for these things the . they set out to do and yet their efforts people with' the exception, of his im- 10» 9 Answer: Borden's Ice Cream.

KATHARINE MARSTON Editor of The Elora Herald, who has been awarded the Lorne Eedy trophy for the best editorial page in smaller weekly newspapers. mediate followers, became jealous of Hun and finally they persinded one of His own chsciples to betray Him. Then followed a trial such as the world has never seen. There was no justice in connection with it, arid finally Jesup was ondernned to death by Pilot, a judge who was too coward- ly to stand up for the right. Those of us who know the story of the Life of Christ can recall that march from Pilot's judnnent hall to Mount Calvary. We can well imag- ine Christ hanging on to the cross while with the other hand outstretch- ed, He healed the sick and maimed. At last His strength failed, and Simon the Cyrenian was conmelled, to. bear His cross. Has it ever occurred to us what a wonderful privilege it must have been for Simon to beer the cross for Jesus? 'Would we have done it unless under severe compul- sion? When we will not accept His free gift of Salvation, we would not likely be willing to bear any burden for Him. At last we have r:ached t'' e place of the cross. The final act of barbar- ism had been finished and the Saviour of the World was paying the penalty of our sins, not His own, for He knew no sin. By His sacrificial • death on the cross, Jesus Christ purchased for us Eternal life. As He shed His blood He gave us a saving grace which, if we accept, will make us co -laborers with Him .through all Eternity. Surrounding the cross was a very angry crowd. It is true that there were a few •who srere sympathetic with Him. There were those who could not understand the condition at all. The vast majority of them thought that our Saviour had gone down to defeat. They had hoped that He would be an, Earthly King and as that did not develop, they were guite convinced that defeat was His., Among those who were sympath- ,etic were His Mother, the two Marys, the .disciples minus Judas, and a few others who knew Him personally. Also among the rabble were Roman soldiers, scribes, Pharisees, Saducees, Chief Priests and elders who led the mob crowd. There were some who stood afar off. They were looldng on at what they deemed a defeat, They, too, are helping to crucify our Lord, although they are not near enough to be join- ing -with the mob rule. As •sve look at thein, we can identify the ,grocer at the corner, our neighbors, many of the people who go to the scrim church as we do. Then we look closer. Yes; there are some members of our own family. Surely it cannot be true but yes it is. I am there and: if you look closely' enough you will find, that you are also Imes, ent. Every day each one .of us crucifies the Lord Afresh, by our thoughts, our words and our actions, We cannot blame the crowd who sten(' there for we are just as bad as any one of them. Let us think over that carefully, and prayerfully ask God to help us, and to keep us from joining the throng who are virtually saying: Cemetery Memorials Large stock of modeim memorials on display' ai our Clinton Showrooms For the convenience of our patrons, office will be open on Fridays Open by appointment at any other tine See Mr. J.
