The greatest theme of religion, the sublim-
it - . T V A J
fii uiuugiii ut man, me niuai unscuisu ati ui
love and secrif ice, the boldest declaration of
freedom, forgiveness and mercy without
. strain; yet the most dastardly act of indif
ference, rejection, insane iealousv. hatred and
crucifixion that has yet blighted the deeds of
men are all embodied in Calvary to effect the
most paradoxical mystery and design that is
found anywhere in creative wisdom; thereby
establishing beyond the reach of time the re
conciliation and redemption of a wicked
world, that by the act of sin and accumulated
disobedience became lost and separated from
God.
All the legally constituted courts of the
land, organized to the point of power and per
fection for the purpose of dispensing justice,
together with the help of those most learned
in the law, could have in no wise added to or
taken from the free and voluntary act of
Jesus to make Calvary central in the Christ
ian religion.' ' ; '
It is a feet well established beyond any
reasonable doubt that at least three ways;
other than Calvary were open to Jesus in
making His kingdom a reality here on earth.
To build an economic structure free from
struggle and feed a hungry world would have
made Him the greatest king of all time. He
was offered the Wealth and power -of the
world kingdoms and only for the act of al
legiance to Satan. World honor and esteem
could have been His for a spectacular descent
from the pinnacle of the temple. He voluntar
ily, and without reservation or forethought
of self-interest, accepted Calvary, an act
which made Him eternally free and above the
evil powers of this world. -
Calvary is the hard way, the way of self
sacrifice, or self-discipline, self-surrender
and obedience to the divine will which in the
end becomes the title deed to Canaan and the
final home of all sin-sick souls. But the mass
of humanity seeks the easy road by the exer
cise of a puny and thin faith, a lukewarm at
titude ad sometimes an act of violence fash
ioned in the form of persecution and cruci
fixion. Often there is more of the Cross and
Calvary in paganism and outside the church
than may be found among v the so-called
brethern of the Christian faith.

0? Calvary
The glory of world renown and human
achievement is always fading like the beauty
of a full-grown flower and vanishing like its
fragrance, but the heroism of a human soul
and life in struggle and conflict with the
powers of evil lives on' and With an immor
tality all its own. The death of a martyr lights
a lamp that is never extinguished. The lone
struggle against poverty, disease and calam
ity; the brave and humble soul who takes it
upon himself to endure the treachery and be
trayal of others has a dramatic appeal to the
human heart. All tiumanity moves up to the
' foot of Calvary where the inocent suffer,
bleed and die
When the three Hebrew boys walked
with dauntless courage to the door of a fiery
furnace and, in complete resignation to a God
in whom they placed implicit trust, stepped
without hesitation into the burning flames,
Calvary once again raised its head from the
grime and blood of Golgotha and drew men
together as brothers In a common redemp
tion, and even centuries before it became a
recorded fact in the history of religion.
Such conviction of free men will live on
long after time is but a story and this world
but a cinder , because Calvary is incarnate in
the blood and soul of men and is mysterious
ly Woven into the whole fabric of life.
Calvary is a wound inflicted on the heart of
all humanity, a bleeding unto death, a suf
fering without personal guilt, a mutual shed
ding of blood for the universal atonement of
all sin, that a lost world may find its way
back to God.
Golgotha is but a point somewhere on the
dividing boundary between that which is
Christian and that which is pagan; a place of
grinning sculls reflecting defiance against the
hatred and injustice of man. Calvary is di
vine judgment visited on a sinful world but
it also enunciates the truth that to receive we
must give, to be loved we must love and to
be forgiven we must also forgive.
Thieves may die on Golgotha for their
crimes but only the righteous embrace the
, Cross. It may be rejected but none can escape
the mighty impact of Calvary which stands
today as the singular hope for the peace of
the world and the brotherhood of all men.

AND THERE WERE also two other malefactors, led with Him to
be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is
called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one
on the right hand and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His
raiment and cast lots, And the people stood beholding. And the
rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others; let Him
save Himself, if He be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers
also mocked Him,' coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar, And
saying, If Thou be the king of the Jews, save Thyself. And a super
scription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin,
and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. And one of the
malefactors-which were hanged railed on Him saying, If Thou be
Christ, save Thyself and us. But the other rebuked him, and he said
unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy king
dom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
thou be with Me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and
there wns a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And
the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud Voice,
into Thy hands I commend My Spirit: and having said
of the ghost. Condensed from Luke 23: 32-48
