Clinton News-Record, 1946-04-25, Page 3THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 199$ i CLINTON ` 'NEWS -RECORD PAGE THERM "Father, Forgive Me' By "PEG" At this time there are before us copies of two paintings. One is a drawing by Joseph Hey, "Jesus on Trial" and the other is that noted painting by Hoffman, `SChrist on the way to Calvary." Previous to the `final` sentence of crucifixion by Pilate, Christ had been brought before the Sanhedrin .where He was accused of blasphemy. He was then taken to Pilate, the Roman Governor, who sent Him to Herod Antipas, thetetrach of Galilee. Herod was unwilling to either sentence or release our Saviour who was return- ed to Pilate. It must be admitted that Pilate was willing to release Jesus, but the mob asked for the release of Barabbas, a notorious rob- ber in preference to Jesus. Pilate was too weak in character to stand by what he knew was right so he gave way to the people and ordered that Christ should be crucified. Then began the journey from the judgment hall to Calvary with all its horrors. Hoffman, from his imagination, shows this march oi' death. The central figure, of course, is our Sav- iour strugging with the heavy cross. Evidently by this time Simon of Cyrenia had been commissioned to help bear the terrible load. With a look of pain on his face and a cruel crown of thorns on his tender brow, Jesus is beinghalf dragged along gg with a cord around his waist by a man, cruel of character, who urges Him to further effort with a whip. Leading the procession are a number of soldiers and following immediately after Jesus is a man who is evidently makng good use of a knotted stick which he carries in one hand. In the other is a box with spikes and a hammer. These are the nails which in our talk last week represented hatred, apathy, cruelty and disobed- ience, while Jesus responded with love,sympathy, •mere and obedience. On Y he faces of his enemies is depict- ed hatred and smug complacency showing that they felt quite happy WHEN YOU NEED CASH tot ame f ett a ei i Choose the Monthly Payment Phut that sults yen best When you ?ou repay Borrow for eaoh month $ 25 6 months 12 " $ 50 6 months 12, " 18 " $100 6 months 12 18 " 24 " $200 6 months 12 ` 18 " 24 " $4.25 2.15 8.48 4.30 2.91 16.96 8.60 5.82 4.43 33.92 17.21 11.64 8.86 Monthly repayments include Interest When you are faced with a financial emergency a personal Ioan at the bank is often your easiest solution.

McLAY, Manager and were well ' satisfied with the sentence which had been meted` out to their best friend and ours, Jesus Christ. As the procession moves along, Jesus sees some of His follow- ers who have stopped by'the, way side. They are in agony and are weeping for the One whom they loved. Christ turns to them with a word of com- fort, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but .,weep for yourselves, and for your children," Then they come to Mount Calvary, where Christ and the two malefact- ors are nailed to the cross and the crosses are placed in an upright position. Can we keep from wonderng that following all that, and the different abuses which' have not been mention- ed, such as spitting on our Redeemer and scoffings, that thefirst words which Jesus said, were, "Father, for- give them; for they know not . what they do?" As we eonsio.er all this we must realize that Jesus was human as well as Divine. Through all this He suf- fered just as we would have done under similar circumstances. He felt not only the mental agony but also the physical torture. Christ was willing, in spite of it all to askGod G d toforgive fo g ve those who had treated Him so shamefully. He had come to earth, and had died that our sins might be forgiven. We have a great deal for which to ask for- giveness and by His death on the cross, our Saviour now stands at the right hand of God making interces- sion for us. • Have we any doubt that if we go to God in prayer asking Him to put our sins behind Him that our request will not be granted. No, as Jesus forgave the penitent thief on the cross so we have the assurance that He will forgive us. Then the question arises if we do not forgive those who have injured us can we expect that God will forgive us? St. John 6:14-15 gives us the answer to this question very plainly, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forigve you; But if ye forgive not men their 'tres- passes, neither will your Father for- give your trespasses. Then how can we ask forgiveness if we refuse to forgive? Tr. our prayer we would do well to tell God that we are ready to forgive any one who has offended as or if the fault is on our side we will go and try to open the way for the renewal of past friendships. Many times we do not realize what is behind some offence which has been given us. It may be there is anxiety, sorrow, or pain of which we know nothing. It may be that under the same cireumtsauees we would not be even as patient as the one who has hurt us is. After all, life is too short to be going around with "a chip on our shoulder", waiting to have it knocked off and just hoping we will have a chance to be annoyed with some one. No matter how long we live, we will never have cause to feel that wrong has 'been done us a Christ had and yet He could ask Go to °forgive His -enemies. Why';canno we? Our best plan is that if we ar not on speaking terms with anyone let us go to him, not wait for him to come to us, and get the matter straightened out, before we again ask God to forgive us. It is an easy thing to do an injury vt+hich it is very hard to undo, so we should be constantly on our guard against wronging anyone else. May we keep constantliy close to Christ so that we will not harm others and if they should wrong us we will be ready to forgive them, "to err is human, to forgive divine," We must alwayes• remember that our need of for= fres g n s by Christ far s urpasses an forgiveness that we owe to anyone else. Romans 12:19 tells us "Dearly beloved, avenge not, ourselves, but rather give place onto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance' is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." It must have indeed been hard for Jesus as he looked around that mob of people to ask forgiveness for them but He knew it was for that reason He came to earth. Had He not been able to ask 'forgiveness for His enemies His Mission would have been a failure. Only in that way couldHe become a mediator between God and man. Do we bear the name of Christian, attend church services, try to make others believe that we are representa- tives of Christ and yet is there some- one in our own church organizations to whom we will not speak? If that is our attitude then we have good reason tb be ashamed of ourselves. We are not Christians at all, We are standing among those at the foot of the cross who are shouting derision at our Saviour. There are many things very sweet about children . As a rule they can- not .hold spite against one another. The fololwing story could be told of almost any child. A little lad_was going out and in reply to his moth- er's question, "Where are you going?" he answered, "Out to play with Tommy." "Oh," said his mother, "I thought you and Tommy quarrelled last night and sycu were never going to speak a ain," After a little hesi- tation the little lad replied, "Tommy and I are good forgetters." What a lesson we canelearn from that! s man was everexpected to forgive' his d enemies, Cicero was perhaps the t greatest of this race and one of the e happiest .days df his life was when he heard that his enemy Claudius had been killed in battle. There are very few who would want to actually; slay one another, but yet with our tongues we are willing to kill their reputation and allow them to live on under a cloud, many times undeserved, which we have helped to make. When we take Christ truly into our hearts He will crowd out everything that is unworthy. May God lead us to overcome all personal grievances and thus ha in a better position to enjoy friendship with Him. There are some people, who, when they hear of the passing of some one, have to say, "We have been bad friends for many years. When I heard he was sick I intended to go and make up. I did not expect him to go so soon." Do we belong to the class of "forgetters or non -forgetters?" Even our own families would see a great difference in us if we were more forgiving. If we persist in carrying out this spirit of non -forgiveness, the time may come when we will be glad to see evil befall those' with whom we are not good friends. In the Greek - Roman world of past ages no true 4w ittat every s1oula k"°, su CAN AI There is a world-wide shortage of sugar. Last year world sugar production was twenty-five percent below 1939. Reasons for the decrease are: • Destruction of the sugar industries in Java and the Philippines. ♦ Shortages of labour and fertilizers in many sugar -producing countries. • Last year's drought in the Caribbean area, especially Cuba. • Damage to European sugar beet fields. World sugar supplies are pooled for the benefit of the United Nations. Canada, the United States and Great Britain are allotted an equal share of sugar according to population. Available supplies must also be shared with other countries. TEN POUNDS OF CANNING SUGAR PER PERSON This,year's canning sugar allowance is ten pounds per person —the same as last year. Instead of special canning sugar coupons, ten additional green "S" coupons are being made available for the purchase of canning sugar. 58 to Sl,2 inclusive become valid on May 2nd; S17 to S21 inclusive on luly 4th. Each coupon is good for the purchase of one pound of sugar. The ten "S" coupons for canning sugar are in addition to the "S" coupons which regularly become valid each month for the purchase of sugar and preserves. Those who do not wish to do home panning may use the extra coupons to buy commercially packed, jams, jellies, canned fruit, etc., or sugar to supplement the regular ration. The ten "S" coupons for canning sugar, need not be used immediately they become valid. You will be given ample notice of their expiry date. THESE ARE YOUR " ",COUPONS FOR EXTRA SUGAR VALID MAY 2 VALID JULY 4 Any valid "5" Coupon, including those shown here, may be used to purchase sugar for east - ming, or the amount stated below of preserves. The green "S" coupons 88 to 512 and S17 to S21 are in addition to the "S" coupon's which regularly become valid each month for the purchase of sugar and preserves.

"When r survey the wondrous eross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood, 'Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all," PD. ]HENSALL Miss Grace Brock, London, spent the Easter vacation at her home.
