G. Stewart,
As you know 1 ant not a rich man
and.had no notion of running all over
the 01 S., however we have seen a
great many points of interest in and
'around this city. I was in Los Angel-
es a couple of times and met our old
friend, ,Walter Hall in Pasadena, also
Carl Hall, but sorry to say I missed
seeing Albert Coling. I also visited
Holly Mrood, the great home of the
movies and where a lot -of tragedies
happen. I have spent some time on
Moon Stone Eeach, Mission Beach,
Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and Coro -
nada Beach, I also called at Radonda,
Venice, Long Beach, Inglewood, La
;Jolla and other places on the coast.
We are alk in good health and are ex-
pecting to be helm before the first of
April. - While we are used like kings,
:we are anxious to get back to Our own
I home.. Yesterday I spent some time
'down in the .city proper, you may
know we live about two miles from
the busy centre. •
Today a 'neighbor took Inc, in his
Studebaker Special Si,e. oat to Point
•
Loman, a narrow strip of land that
runs out>into the • ocean where we
went up into the lighthouse Which was'
built by the Spaniards over roo years
ago4 riglit atthe point of this land
is situated the present lighthouse;
built of course by the state of Cali-
fornia. I have spent a tot of my time
at the beach where a friend and lin-
tend goirg tomorrow to fish, (Ocean
teach), he can fish and I can bunt
shTelhlsi's \ is certainly a great place• to
spend the winter and I believe it
would be better tne summer, We
have not had any bad weather only
a little rain two or three tinies, a,nd
of course soinetinle it is quite cool
in the night trate arid in the mornings
till about 8 or 9 o'elock, but not bad
at any time. The people are eating
vegetables out of the gardens and also
planting garden stuff, treealshrabbnry,
etc,, 080 building of all kinds gomg
on, just like they would be in sum-
tner in our country, The People tell
tis that yott have had A prettyrstiff

x8th 102
Lesson Title -Jesus Crucified.
Lesson Passage -Luke 23: 33-46.
Golden Text-Isa. 53: 5.
In the year 1633, the villagers of
Oberan-unergan ih Bavaria, on the
cessation of a plague which desolated
the surrounding country, had vowed
to perform every tenth year the
Passion of our Saviour, out of grati-
tude, and as a means of religious in-
struction; a vow which has ever since
been religiously observed (excepting
during the Great War.) What would
elsewhere appear impious, is to the
Alpine peasants devout and edifying.
The personator of Christ considers
his part an act of religious worship;
he and the other principal perform-
ers are said to be selected for their
holy life and consecrated to their
work with prayer. The New Testa-
ment narrative is strictly adhered to.
"Many thousands are attracted by the
spe.ctacle from different parts of the
world; and among them the same
vails as among the\ performers, (In-
ternational Cyclopedia). None of the
Evangelists give the location of the
s cc ne of the Crucifixion, tnereily say-
ing "the place, which is calked Cal-
vary" meaning the place of the skull,
St. john, who was an eye -witness,
-was able to go into details more fully,
but St, Luke alone, adds Christ's
prayer for his executioners. Probably
he had heard it from one of them,
possibly .the Centurion himself. -With
an artist's skill he depicts the scene:
In -the foreground are the three cross-
es; the centre one bearing the super-
scription, "This is the King of the
Jews," written in Hebrew, Greek and
Latin. Then grouped around are the
soldiers untouched by the awfulness
of the fate of the victims, and passing
that time by casting lots for his
clothes., In another group are to be
seen the -chief priests, scribes and mi-
en deriding Jesus; while. the people
are standing at some distance gazing.
Nearer than all others are the -women,
His mother, and the beloved disciple,
John.
In this lesson there are recorded
three of the seven utterances of
Christ upon the cross. Matthew and
Mark give two and John gives three
that none other of the evangelists
"And when they were come to the
place, which is called Calvary., there
they crucified and the malefac-
tors, one on the right hand and the '
other on the left" (verse 33). It it
probable that the two • malefactors,
had for some time been under sem-
tence of death, and this was the
morning set for their execution;
'hence the haste in the prosecution of
Christ, that He might suffer at the
same time. Thereby. was Scripture
fulfilled. He was numbered with
the transgressors," and, being placed
in the • middle, it indicated that He
was regarded as the chief transgress -
Or, • While being bound and nailed
to the cross, He prayed for His exec-
utioiters-"Father, forgive them, for,
they ktimw not what they do." 11:ere
is again the fulfilment of Scripture -
"And He made intercession /or the
transgressor" (ha: 53v2). He not
old asked God to forgive them but He
ma es the plea: "For they know not
what they do." If they had known
they would not have crucified Hitn,,

that the thief never before had tho•

grace, and he accepted it, and shewed
the extraordinary work of' Gods
grace upon him, for he -at once re...

probable that both malefactors suf-
