- v. w -.i - It Organ of iheNorfh Carolina Conference. SIXTY-THIRD YEAR. s c RALEIGH, N. C., JANUARY 10, 1918. EC NUMBER 49. 11 lit CZZ1 3& The Way of the Cross. However confused we may be by the turns events are taking in the modern world, wc must cling to one conviction, that over all a Divine Providence presides and that through all, because of some things and in spite of others, Jesus Christ will march on to moral victory. One of the most noted Scotch preachers once delivered a thrilling sermon on the text, "An highway shall be there and a way." The point made by the preacher was that this meta phor of a road or a highway ran through the whole of the Old Testament, and in the New Testament carried still further, being applied to and exempli fied in Christ, who stands forth amid all the con flicting paths and says, "I am the way " In spite of all that looks as if Christianity were defeated, or at any rate halted, the Christ of God is leading on the sons of men. The path trodden as a mere trail by apostles in the first century is now a turnpike, and shall be lifted up we do not say made more smooth or easy---as the years go by. The way of the Cross has been discoverable, by those who were looking for it, in every past century, and shall not now be lost to sight. It may not be a broad way that glitters with seductive lights and garish deco-rations---a miscalled White Way---but it is safe and sure, and it ever leads upward to planes of higher attainment, and scenes of eternal joy.---Zion's Herald.
