Thursday, the children play a leading part, The | The many friends of Miss Margaret Alpha Juvenile Choristers of Stmt- Linton regret her serious illness with God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom. 5:8.). ’ The deepest hate and the deepest love this world has ever known or ever will know came together at Cal­ vary. “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son”—there is the love of the God who is love. “And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him" — there is the hate. The love is given unexpected ex­ pression again in the next verse: “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." The crucifixion of Christ was the event to which God and Heaven and all history had looked forward from the foundation of the world, and to which God and all redeemed men will look back to through time and eter­ nity. If the writers of the Gospels had been uninspired men they would have devoted all their eloquence and ' literary power to describing this sup­ reme, climatic event of history. But they were inspired as the writers of no other literature, and we stand in awe before the simplicityxand brevity of the narrative. The inspired writers of the Bible are never permitted to give expression to their personal dealings or views: they were commis­ sioned to record facts or set down revealed truth, We are given a series of facts in connection with the crucifixion, every one of which is of vast significance. Some of these events had been pro­ phesied in detail a thousand or more years before they occurred. It has been shown tlicit there are twenty*£ive Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in the twenty-four hours at the time of the crucifixion of Christ. How can any one doubt the divine and unique inspiration of the Bible? The mocking taunt of the Jewish rulers was, unconsciously to them, a statement of profound truth. “He saved others,*’ they said in derision; “let Him have himself, if He be Christ, the chosen of God." Or, as Mark gives it: “He saved others; Himself He cannot save." It was true indeed that the only way the Son of God could save others was by refus­ ing to save Himself. It was their life ot His, and He gave His. Let us never forget that Christ on Calvary died for our sins. Of his own free will He went to the cross as the sinner’s Substitute, He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. The mystery and the glory of the atone­ ment is this: “For He (God) hath made Hfm (Christ) to be sin for us, who (Cljtist) knew no sin; that we might btj made the irighteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. &21), Two criminals were crucified at the same time. One railed on Christ, cry­ ing out in bitterness, “If Thou be Christ, save Thyself and us,” It was the bitterness of unbelief on the part of a man who deserved to die. The other, who also deserved to die, confessed his sin and declared his be­ lief in the crucified Saviour. He re­ buked his fellow-criminal, “Dost not thou fear God?” He confessed the justice of the punishment of himself and his fellow-criminal, “for we re­ ceive the due reward of our deeds.” He declared the sinlessness of Christ: “But' this man hath done nothing amiss." Then came the humble, be­ lieving prayer, addressed to Jesus: “Lord, remeber me when Thou com- est into Thy kingdom,” Does Christ ever turn away a re­ pentant, believing sinner? Here was the answer that fell upon the ears of the dying thief and that has sounded out its good news through the nine­ teen centuries to all believers and to us today: “Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in para­ dise." Does this mean that men may safe­ ly leave the question of salvation un­ til the eleventh hour? It has been well said: “One thief was saved, that none need despair; but only one, that none should presume.” Many a man who has thought lightly that he could wait to be saved until the end of his life has died unsaved, forever lost. Christ was the Sun of righteous­ ness; He had said, and only He could say: “I am' the light of the world” (John 8:12). On,Calvary the Sun of righteousness went down, the Light went out, by the act of man’s sin and' hatred and by the free-will choice of the Father and the Son. We read: “And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened. Here was world­ wide darkness that all the earth might know something of the tremendous transaction by which God was saving lost sinners. Then the Son of God died. But let us note well how He died. Sentimen­ tal and ignorant writers have said that, after His suffering on the cross, Christ’s strength was exhausted and In weakness'He died-. There could’not be a more colossal misrepresenting of the facts. This is what happened: “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit; and hav­ ing said this, He gave up the ghost” (spirit). He was in full possession of all His powers, spiritual, mental and physical. He was not in weakness, but in strength. He did not die from ex­ haustion. His death was different from any other death that has ever occurred since man was created. The Scofield Reference Bible com­ ments on Matthew 27:50, that “yield­ ed up the ghost" means literally “dis­ missed His spirit. The Greek implies book, “Baseball—and How to Play it”, by Frank J.

The CANADA STARCH COMPANY Lirnttetf Toronto 1 an act of the will. This expression differentiates the death of Christ from all other physical death. He died by His own volition when He could say of His redemptive work, “It is finished.’ ‘No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself’ ” (John 10:18). A dying thief believed on Christ, while they were both on Calvary, and was saved. So was a Roman officer. “Now, when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a rightequs man.” Were these the only two souls saved on the day of Christ’s crucifixion? We do not know; but we may well be­ lieve that others, perhaps many oth­ ers, watching all that was done and hearing the words spoken by the cru­ cified Lord, also believed and were saved.
