WILLIAM ROHDE The third Sunday in Lent church service was in charge of the mini- ster, Rev. Teddy Smits. We read Psalm 89 responsively. In his children's story the Rev. Teddy Smits told about a nice shoe store which was owned by a hard working man, Mr. Anderson. One fine day a few boys started throw- ing stones aimed at the shop win- dow. The window was broken, with many cracks showing all over the window. Mr. Anderson wrote a big note and pasted it over the broken win- dow. The note read "The window may be damaged but the shoes be- hind the window are of excellent quality". Sometimes we get hurt in life, behind the cracks is an honest char- acter and a golden heart. - Robert Bray read the scripture lessons fro Isaiah 49:9-18 and St. Matthew 27:1-26. In his sermon, Mr. Smits spoke on the text: "When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd (St. Matthew 27:24)" Pontius Pilate, the Roman proc- urator for Judea, had made many political mistakes, which compro- mised him. One of the most crip- pling mistakes was to have bor- rowed money from the family business of Amnias and Caiaphas. When this small but powerful clique wanted the quick death of Je- sus, they needed the signature and approval of Pilate. The procurator could not find any guilt in Jesus, but Caiaphas put a lot of pressure on Pilate. Fearing the end of his job and being sent to Romc in disgrace. Pilate gives in. He asks for a basin of water and washes his hands, saying: I am in- nocent! Pilate was used as a tool, and never stood firm. Can you stand firm under pressure?
