"IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" The International Sunday School Lesson For June 10 Is "Jesus Crucified"—John 19:16-30. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The key to Christianity is a cross. Without the event on Calvary the re ligion of Jesus is inexplicable. Take that chapter out of Its history and all the others lose their signifleance and vitality. The gospel of Christ is the story of a crucifixion. That simple message is the hammer which breaks | down all the walls of opposition. Men ! may merely admire the philosophy of Jesus, but It is His broken heart that breaks their stony hearts. The most characteristic phase of the life of Jesus is this sense of the cruci fixion, which the Sunday Schools study next Sunday. It is typical of His whole career, for He was being cruci fied all through His mission; and into the few terrible days when the gen tle, sensitive Son of Mary hung upon the rough beams set up on "the place of a skull," was crowded, for the world to see, the significance of all His thirty-three years. The Kad to Power All roads to helpfulness lead over a rocky crest called in the Hebrew, "Golgotha." Sacrifice must precede s service. The Scripture truly says that Jesus "must needs have suffered," only so could He have become a Saviour. Sorrow is the one universally compre hended experience, the common lot of mankind. The tragedy and sufferinc of the present war is doing more to unite humanity than all the books upon political economy that have ever been written. No man enters into the depths of human nature, except through his own broken heart. Only he who is lifted up on some cross draws men unto him. As a quatrain suggestively called "Credentials" puts it: "I preach the Word. Why then that hiss? And why God's message laughed to to scorn?" "Your cheek hath known no Judas' kiss. And your brow no crown of thorns." It was only shame that the rabble saw in the dreadful spectacle upon the central one of those three crosses; had their eyes been open they would have beheld sovereignty there. Pilate might well say—though all compre hendingly—"What I have written, I have written," concerning the inscrip tion, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, the 1 King of the Jews." For this supreme act of sacrifice and service, this ulti mate pouring out of His soul unto death, is the true sceptre of Christ's kingliness. And this mark of the Lord Jesua must be upon His church, if she will prevail over the world. Not a cross on her steeple, but the cross in her spirit, is the sign of a church's serviceableness. Times without num ber have I seen the British Hag fly ing on many seas and in many lands; but only of late has it seemed that its dominating center is a blood-stained cross. Nothing but the. sacrifice of which this is the symbol can bring the sovereignty of the great human ideals for which the war is being waged. A Tragedy's Saddest Side What was the keenest suffering of the Man who hung suspended there in agony until His heart broke? Not j His own pain; physical pain cannot j crush a great soul. Not the shame of j it; He was above the power of men's opinion. Not the ending of His life, though life was sweet to this young man, as to every other. Not defeat,' for He knew that He was on the way to a victory great enough to satisfy His all-embracing love. The pang which fairly rent His heart was that His people whom He had lavishly served, and passionately loved, could do such a deed. Not for Himself, but for the state of heart j that could make possible so foul an act. and In the name of religion did He grieve. Therein, then, we see the significance of the cry. "Father, for give them; they know not what they do." He is truly Christlike who grieves less over a wrong done to himself than over the sin of the wrongdoer. Such was the magnani mous spirit of the Crucified. Man's sin was the Redeemer's sorrow. V tirriit Man Anionic I. it tie Men Even crude souls catch the pathos of the plight of Napoleon on the Island of St. Helena, when subjected to the petty indignities and insults of of a small-souled official. The little- . ness of His jailer was the worst pun ishment of the great Soldier with a j world-conquering spirit. Pilate, the j i "Work Was an Awful Drag But Not Now "When I look back a few weeks and remember the misery that I went through every day, 1 often wonder how I managed to stand it as long as I did," says George M. Riefsnyder, a crane operator at the Reading Iron Works, who lives at 105 Amity street, Reading. Pa. "I judge that my stomach and kidneys were in very bad shape for 1 had so much pain in my back an l felt so weak and had so much dis- j tress just above my hips. "I couldn't get comfortable in bed,| I bad no strength, no ambition anil my work was an awful drag." "But not now, for since I have been taking Tanlac I feel like an altogeth-| er different man. I eat well, my food i digests properly and nourishes me as it should. I sleep better, my kid neys seldom bother me during the' g night and I wake up in the morning feeling rested and full of energy. And Tanlac brought about this change in me after I had been doctoring for years with other medicines without avail." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drugstore, where the Tan lac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas Drugstore in the P. R. R. station. Tanlac is also sold in Carlisle at W. G. Stephens' Pharmacy; Ellssa bethtown. Albert W. Cain; Green castle, Charles B. Carl; Mlddletown, Colin S. Few's Pharmacy; Waynes boro, Clarence Croft's Pharmacy; Mechanicsburg, H- F, Bpinhouse.— Adv, ' FRIDAY EVENING, politician, the petty-fogging Pharisees, the pitiless priests, the purblind popu lace—these were the setting of the tragedy of Calvary. Of such as these the great and sensitive Jesus was made the sport. By the rough and' j-ibald soldiers His delicate flesh was beaten. To the accompaniment of their jeers and coarse laughter and taunts he was driven forth beneath the heavy load of the crossed timbers that flnaliy crushed Him to earth. Truly, it was the refinement of cruel ty, the very ingenuity of the pit. Wherever a fine spirit is tlie victim of grosser ones, there is some under standing of this experience of the Saviour. When the cross, with its heavy bur don nailed upon it, was finally propped into its socket, with a wrench that must have lacked every nerve fiber in the sensitive body, a squad of soldiers kept watch before it. Utterly blind to the significance of the world's suprem est tragedy which was being enacted before their eyes, they gambled over the spoils of the victim. They were witnesses of a scene that shook heav en and earth, and that stopped all the world's clocks, destroyed its old calendars, and gave a new birth to time. Yet these men gambled away, with rude jest and laughter and quar relsomeness. So does the ruling pas sion of a life thrust itself into the most sacred scene. Who does not know how. even when on his knees in prayer, there intrudes into his mind thoughts that engrossed him at other hours, and that are altogether alien to the spirit of devotion? Yet even these Roman soldiers, like Pilate, and the priests, and the Phari sees, and the people, were fulfilling the divine prophecy. God's will will be done by us, or else in spite of us. Jesus was the willing agent of the Father's will; the other participants in the great tragedy were ignorant ot that will or unwilling to do it. But the will of God was done, as it must always be done, despite all the machi nations of men and devils. Comrade* of the ('rows Nothing outside of himself can really shame or injure a man. It was no humiliation to Jesus to die with the malefactors on either side of Him. He was above such a petty thought; and even so dying He was given an opportunity to minister, which was the ruling passion of His life. He willingly makes himself a comrade of every man on a cross, or of every man bearing a cross. For the sake of being best Brother to men, He is willing to pay any cost; suffering is not too high a price for sympathy. Jesus is history's great Sharer. And He still covets comradeship. The women at the foot of the cross were a comfort unspeakable to the dying Saviour. Then, ns is always the case, it was woman who was man's support in his extremity. Para doxically, God has made the weaker sex to be the stronger's final strength and support. Womanhood's queenli est crown came to her that dark day, amid noontide blackness and rending skies, when the little band of women stood loyally by their crucified Friend. Jesus still wants comrades of the: cross—disciples who know the fellow- ' The Store That IT T"* \T Tt T T"* 1\ IT O The Home I Makes Them KTj\|\ HI I | X of I All Advertise A m.

No sorrow, no sac rifice, no shame can be too great to bring one into a comprehending com munion with the crucified Christ. The exceeding great reward of all who suffer in any degree as He suffered is that they come to know Him and to be known of Him. All who are close to the risen, present Christ, and who Irradiate His power, have been with Him on Calvary. The End of It All Few events are final; most are but means to an end. The cross was not Christ's extinction but His corona tion. In itself its endurance would not have been justifiable, the "pen itentes" of Mexico, who suffer for suf fering's sake, have not entered deep ly into the true meaning of the cross. The symbolism of the cross is sacrifice as a means to service. The Lord's min istry to His mother in His last hour was typical; the crucifixion compre hends an all and great service. Mary saw in that hour what the angel announcer harl meant when he declared: "Thou shalt call His name Jesus; because He shall save His peo ple from their sins." It was only that Ha might atone for the world's sinning that the Just died for the unjust. This terrible tragedy would be as "idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean" unless it were a vic torious atonement for the sins of men. "Under an Eastern sky. Amid a rabble cry, A Man went forth to die For me! "Thorn-crowned His blessed head, Blood-stained His weary tread, Cross-laden He was led For me! "Pierced were His hands and feet, Three hours o'er Him beat Fierce rays of noontide heat For me!'' Does the Reporter Think Writing This Is His Bit?
