laymen of Western North Carolina
with the hope they would grow into
one of the most significant of the
nation's religious services.
In originating these services on
the Qualla Indian Reservation,
these ministers and laymen saw an
opportunity to acquaint not only
the people of this area but those
outside with the religious efforts of
the Cherokee Indians themselves.

THE STORY OF EASTER - 4.
THE TRIALS OF JESUS
FLOGGING PRKPARED
JESUS BEFORE PILATE
PILATE WASHES HIS HANDS
After the betrayal, Jesus appears before four officials. He was beaten, scourged,
abused, ridiculed and then taken out to be crucified.
First, He came before Annas who was fatlicr-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high
priest that year. Then He was taken for a hearing before Caiaphas. It was at
these hearing-- that Peter denied Christ three tinves as the Savior had prophesied
he would. "And he wfent out and wept bitterly."
Jesus wa- then taken before Pilate. "I find no crime in Him." the Roman gov
ernor told the mob. He proposed to chastise Jesns and then release Him. But the
mob screamed for death.
Pilate discovered that his Prisoner was from Galilee and therefore was a sub
ject of King Herod who happened to be in tl>e city. He therefore sent Him to Hejod
to be tried. But Herod sent hiin back to Pilate who pointed out that His own king
had found Him innocent.
The crowd still howled for death. "So when Pilate saw that he was gaining
nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands
before the crowd, saying, 'I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to it yourselves.'
And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children! Then he
released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered Him to be
crucified.
"Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they
gathered the whole battalion before Him. And they stripped IU111 and put a scar
let robe upon Him. and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on His head, and
put a reed in His right hand. And kneeling before Him they mocked Him, say
ing 'Hail, King of the Jews." And when tliey had mocked Him, they stripped Him
of the robe, and put His own clothes on Him and led llim away to crucify Him,"
