The Crucifixion of Christ "And they bring hint unto the place Golgotha, which is, being in- terpreted, the place of the skull. And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: bttt lie received it not." Myrrh was used, mixed with wine, to numb the pain of those about to be crucified B Jesus ests refused to drink it, because he would not lighten His sufferings or lesson IIis agony our of rn t fsalvation. "And they crucified hint. And parted his garments among them, casting lots upon theta, which each should tale. Atld it was the third hour, and they cruicified him." Our Lord passively allowed Him- self to suffer this cruel death for out sakes. Although the Lord of all power, IT* withheld His power, permitting matt to do his worst. The Ironman soldiers believed they had crucified a fanatic, a false claimant to kingship: Little did they realize they were the instrn- toeuts itt God's hand of bringing• about the death of One whose Blood was to atone for the sin of the ttorld. To them it was just an ordinary criminal's death, such as they had often taken part in. They knew not the stupendous issue de- pmident on the death of Christ. The Superscription "And the superscription of 1.18 accusation was written over, the King of the Jews," In these w, rd: Pilate sets it down as a simple fact that Jesus is indeed the Xing of the Jews.

'OLD BILL' IN ITALY - Looking like a double for "Old Bill," Bruce Bairnsfather's famous cartoon character of World War 1, Capt.

This terrible cry reveals the depth of human and spiritual anguish suffered by our Lord. It is the cry of one who has lost, for the time being, the sense of fellowship with God, But it has been observ- ed that even in uttering this cry of desolation Jesus did not let go Itis trust in God, for he calls out 'lay God, my God: Deadly thirst ad- ded to the awful pangs of crucifix- ion. 'Vinegar was the sour wine drunk by laborer> in the field. A drittic of this kind was kept ready for sufferers. Elijah was regarded as a deliverer in time of trouble, The Death of Christ "And Jesus uttered a load voice, and gave up the ghost," The loud cry uttered by Jesus when dying is considered the loud triumphant voice of a Conqueror.
