4 JESUS BEFORE PILATE SUNDAY'S LESSON •"Let Us Stone Him; He Deserve* No Mercy; Crooked Judge"—Ellis JffOST INFAMOUS POLTROON You a Lesser Pilate? Craven Instead of Courageous? Politic Rather Than Outright ? A JUIJGK FOUND GUII/TY flio International Sunday School I*w son For November lill Is "Jenu* and riluto"—Matt 27:11-31; Lnko aau-ao (By William T. Ellis) There frtta old Pilate, the crooked fudge and politician* Lot us atone him. He deserves no mercy. For he la a petty-souled tyrant, an ob stinate martinet, a shifty, sordid, oraven creature. At hlni now, and let the stones fly. He failed the no ble Koman name and law In a crisis. Ho played false to the human race. Be sacrillced the greatest Man be cause of his own smallness. Gather piore stones and bigger; for this Is the most Infamous poltroon of his tory. The sneak, the shirk, the cow ard! Bury him beneath the missies of Justice; for Pilate, with Judas, has earned an lmmortillty of shame. Stay: what Is this word that holds back our hands? "I.ot him that Is "fc-ithout sin among you cast the first ELone." What, Master, would you ave us turn to examining ourselves When we have so clear and easy a mark of obloquy before via? May wo not have the Joy of denouncing this false judgo whom the centuries liave found guilty? We confess ourselves lesser Pllates, lor we too, have been supine when truth needed tesUfiers; we have been craven when we should have been courageous; we have been politic when we should have been outright; Xve have put self-interest above holy truth; we have squirmed and shirked and evaded when loyalty to our own manhood and our trust called for downright, unequlvocatlng and fear less steadfastness. In contrition we admit our kinship to Pilate, the judge who failed to play the man. Public Office anil Private Character Fear for votes unmans many a! politician. Solicitude for office takes; the place of fidelity to trust. That j Is the difference between the petty ■ politician scheming, whispering, j trading—and the great statesman, j willing to sacrifice all for an ideal. | J know a man, recently a candidate : for high office, who received many I letters from ministers of the gospel 1 (to their shame be the story told), | esking him to contribute to various j church enterprises, and promising to , Influence votes for him if he did so. j All this was immediately before elec tion, and my friend had he been a mere politician, would either have made the gifts or sent some con ciliatory, evasive reply. Because he is first of all a tearless Christian man, my friend straightway wrote to every such correspondent a clear jcut rebuke, pointing out that the proposal was a violation of the cor rupt practices act. Perhaps ho lost Borne votes thereby; but he retained Hi manhood. That instance occurs to me In con trast with the conduct of Pilate, who was essentially a politician, earing more for his place than for his honor. Sf It had been convenient and politic, I lie would have freed Jesus, in accord ance with the failure of the Jews to make out a legal case against the j prisoner. But lie was ruled by the , mob spirit; he always chose the ma jority side. He wanted to be popular j With the Jews—though all the while j he was offending them—and most of | all lie craved the favor of Caesar, j Ah. Pilate, you may ostentatiously! wsish your hands of responsibility for your own treason to your trust and your manhood, but the stain still re mains, red and glaring, for all the j world to see. Your character was not tip -to the level of your office. Time j THE P. H. CAPLAN GO.

The Strong Man Stands Forth It has not been uncommon, through out history, for the real culprit to be sitting on the bench, while the judge is in the prisoner's dock. With all Pilatea it remains true that the judg ments they render Judge the judge. Really, Pilate was on trial before Je sus; even as all of us who, called to sit In inevitable judgment upon the Christ, find ourselves being judged by our verdict. In shining contrast to the shifty, timorous Roman potentate, a Weaic | ling in character, stands the strong, .serene and silent Saviour. What a • man was there! Daring to treat with j silent contempt both Herod and Pi j late on their thrones. Anybody who I looks with discriminating eye upon I this scene in the Roman pretorium 'in Jerusalem must say of Jesus, "There was a man." In a sense that Pilate did not Intend, he may repeat , "Ecce Homo!" In an unconventional but rugged ■ bit of verse Ezra Pound has drawn a picture of the Master as "The Goodly Fere," Fere" meaning mate, or comrade. The lines are put into the mouth of rough Simon Zelotes, after the crucifixion. "Ha' we lost the goodliest fere o' all For the priests and the gallows tree? Aye lover he was of brawny men, O' ships and the open sea. "Aye he sent us out through the crossed high spears And the scorn of his laugh rang free, •Why took ye not me when I walked about Alone in the town?* says he. "Oh we drank his 'Hale' in the good red wine When we last made company, No capon priest was the Goodly Fere, But a man o' men was he. "I ha' seen him drive a hundred men Wi' a bundle o' cords swung free, That they took the high and holy house For their pawn and treasury. "They'll no' get a' in a book, I think. Though they write it cunningly; No mouse of the scrolls was the Goodly Fere, But aye loved the open sea. "If they think they ha' snared our Goodly Fere They are fools to the last degree.. , 'l'll go to the feast,' quo' our Goodly Fere; ! 'Though I go to the gallows tree.' " "Ye ha' seen me heal the lame and blind. And wake the dead,' says he, 'Ye shall see one thing to master all: 'Tis how a brave man dies on the tree.' "A son of God was the Goodly Fere That bade us his brothers be. I ha' seen him cow a thousand men. I have seen him upon the tree. "He cried no cry when they drave the nails And the blood gushed hot and free. The hounds of the crimson sky gave tongue But never a cry cried he. "I ha' seen him cow a thousand men On the hills o' Galilee, They whined as he walked out calm between, Wi' his eyes like the grey o* the sea. "Like the sea that brooks no voyag ing : With the winds unleashed and free, 11 ..ike the sea that he cowed Genseret i Wi' twey words spoke' suddently. |"A master on men was the Goodly DRINK HABIT RELIABLE HOME TREATMENT The ORHINE treatment for the I Drink Habit can be used with absolute ) confidence.

Brunliouqe, Mechanics burg.—Advertisement Fere, A mate of the wind and sea, If they think they' ha' slain our Goodly Fere They are fools eternally. "I ha' seen him eat o' the honey comb Sin' they nailed him to the tree." ThePoUticions And The Rabble "Look for the motive," is a good rule to fellow, In Judging actions, i Back of this whole procedure at Pi late's judgment seat lay the schem ing of adroit ecclesiastical politi cians, who were using the time-serv ing judge to satisfy their own envy ! and revenge. These men who so cooly foreswore a man's life were • exceedingly solicitous to keep cere monially clean, because of the Pass over. They seduously conserved j their church standing while at the :same time they sought to slay the man who spoke the truth. I Adrolty, skillfully, they played their deadly politics, alternately j working upon the unsuspecting rab ble and upon the job-holding judge. The voice that cried "Away with I him! Crucify him!" was the voice of the multitude: but tho words were i the words of the priests and Phari sees. Obviously, the strong man who uses weaker men to accomplish reprehensible ends is more guilty ■ than the one who dares to do his evil work alone. Pilate, the lever that was used • was his overmastering solicitude to favorite devices of the devil. If men were as much afraid of offending God as they are of losing their jobs, I there would be more out-and-out manhood in public life and in pri vate business. There crafty old vil • lains from the temple precincts had only to whisper, "If thou release this s man thou are not Caesar's friend," to bring Pilate to heel like a whim pering dog. He saw through their plot, but, being a coward, he was helpless. For the charge that caused Jesus to be convicted was not one against himself, but an implied charge s against Pilate. Before the Jewish tribunal Jesus had been charged with , blasphemy. That was no offense ! against Roman law, so before Pilate He was charged with treason. That fell flat; so It took a hint of a charge against Pilate's own loyalty to bring i Jesus to the cross. i The Best a Man Can Do ! With a procedure more oriental than Roman, Pilate, after declaring he found no fault with the prisoner, • permitted him to be scourged and I mocked, and ultimately crucified. , | Craftily, at one stage in the tfall he t! sought to evade responsibility by I sending Jesus to Herod, whose court made sport of him, without provok f ing a word of response. Driven to desperation by the rab ble's choice of a robber to be set free, instead of Jesus (for Pilate had I weakly put the matter up to the crowd), Pilate cried, in the helpless | ness of a coward, "What then shall I ;do unto Jesus who Is called Christ?" That is the question of questions. It Is the most important interrogation i that ever confronts a human being; and every one of us must face it. ITpon our answer to that depends our life-philosophy and our life-conduct; and our weal for two worlds. Place alongside of Pilate's fearful question the bold affirmation of Jesus: "To this end am I come into , the world, that I should boar witness i unto the truth." That is the Immor ■ tal spirit of man asserting its high est prerogative. No higher function Is possible to mortal or Immortal , than to bear witness to the truth. By word, by pen, by vote, by life, by suffering, by death, if need be man must, by a divine compulsion, bear witness to the highest truth he knows. In this exercise ho may die, as did Jesus, but he will die crowned. This passion of loyalty to the truth needs cultivation, especially among youth, in these sophisticated, mate rial days. The flory of suffering for truth's sake is a heritage which] Christ hands on to the world from I the judgment hall of Pilate, who • loved place more than he loved truth. THE TERRIBLE FURIES OF WAR Europe to-day is a collos&l, blood soaked battlefield —a scene of univer sal carnage and waste. The flowers of Europe's manhood is being mowed down by awful engines of destruction. Whole regiments will be left decimated and bloody. Tens of thousands of unmarked graves will shelter tho corpses of husbands and rathers, sons and brothers, whose smiles and af fection and support will never be known again. In every hamlet and town homes will be shattered and left desolate, with widows and wondering ■ orphans weeping by their bereaved firesides. | These are the consequences of such I a war as Is now sweeping Europe like j a flame of delirium—a war unprece i dented In the ages of man. Is it by < accident? Is it the whim of a tyrant? Has it a logical cause? Will men and : nations lose or gain by it? "The Story of Europe and the Na tions at War" tells the whole story.

HIGHEST ART One of the most satisfactory statutes 'of Christ is the famous one in the "Lady Church" of Copenhagen by Thorwaldsen. At first the sculptor modeled the figure with the hands up raised as in benediction, but a last he depressed the arms, stretching them out in an attitude of yearning en treaty.

NEW PETTI COAT MODELS The Dry Goods Economist says that the fact that many dress skirts are made from two to three and one-half yards in width is having a good effect on the petticoat market generally. Although the newest petticoats are somewhat wider at the edge, the most radical change is in the increased depth of the flounces, which in some cases reach to the knees, although the more extreme styles are attached to a skirt yoke about ten inche a below the waist. Dark colors are largely represented in late Fall lines, as the majority of, suits and dresses are made of dark colored fabrics, such as tete de negre, mystery green, navy and the dark shades of wistaria and slate. A pair showing of brlghtTcolors, in cluding Roman stripes, checks and plaids, are shown in soft finish taffe tas, in satins and peau de cygne. They have been bought out to wear with black dresses and suits, as a dark colored skirt does not look well with the black outer garment. The petti coats must be in bright colors or in black.
