M? f AT CICOSS KOJDS OROSS roads are dangerous place* In the Great war allied and Gero.>an soldiers alike shunned all point# f where roads crossed. When a motor h truck or an ambulance or an ambuv lance wagon neared such a point. The driver put on full speed and rushed past in the direction he had dvcidod to follow. There was no hesitating and wavering. backing and Ailing This was be mime It was Just about us dangerous to stand at a cross roads in the combat jwmr- un u ib iu miiiu'l iha a nuinwa i track. If you atood long enough at the cross road* n nhell would hit you. If you s'.oort Ions enough on a railroad trucks a train would hit you. The cross roads of life are Just an dangerous as were the cross roads Id Flanders and France. When you come to a parting of the ways, make up yonr mind quickly which !s the right way to go, Hnd go. [ | Sooner or later you wtll come to h situation where you can save yourself a lot of troutde hy departing from your usual ruffe of truthfulness and telling a He. That is a cross roads. If you linger at It. wondering which way to turn, vacillating between the two courses, the chances are greater that you will take the wrong road?the road o? the lie. Tour first Impulse will he to take the course of truth. You will know it la the right road. Don't stand at the cross rqads. ?.o full speed down the route yc?n know is the right one. Next time you come to a cross roads with the same signs displuyed. It will he easier to keep right on going. And If you aelect the road of truth you will come to fewer pur./.ling corners than you will en the road to lie*-. It will be much easier to s?:iy on the right road than to get hack t<? it. Sometimes it N impossible to got Pack. The same tiling * i?1 ho true of every road parting which yon encounter. To linger there will he dangerous. To wabble back and forth lietwcen the two routes will mean that you are ) liable to be engulfed in a disastrous clittir. aif cii'i*iiin<cf:in<-M l>?f n-c vim huva ! made your move, li Is Just like t!:9 soldier who stand* lit the cross roods until h shell searches ldin out and hi explosion destroys him.

The vol i ettno In question is one of the largest In the Hawaiian island*. The men who want to sec It in act!cm are scientists, They have traveled a long distance flour overseas, hut the volcano now refuses to perform. Tire scientists nr? bent on analyzing volcanic gases and tiiiv particular volcano has poured fourth incandescent gases which they wish to observe, and have taken with them h spectroscope in order il.at they may study The gases at long range. Obviously it is not practicable to hottie the hot gases and ao study them !a the laboratory. "'God's Help When Times Are Hard" (Mark 14:32-42) We studied last week about God's providence in human friendship and we learned how God helped David by sending Jonathan the ide.ii friend This illustrates hew God himself wants *.o be our friend at ill times and study this time brings, us to study the hardest times in our lives times when only God can help.

Let us study the deepest troulue that oar; Lord went through and see how he I stood it. hi the same way that God) helped Christ Jesus God will help J you and me. Jesus faces the hardest time i?i his life; possibly no experience through which Jesus went so touches us as his agony in Gethsemnna TK/sv? .1: '-I. ' 1 .w. ut.it uir uijtipic.s sicepai i while he prayed to the Father. He j sweat great drops of blood so great was his agony as he bore the crushing, schorching pressure of the sin of the world. He was alone?none could help but God. It breaks our hearts to think of it and the poet Lanier tries to bring a little bit of relief to our feelings by fancying that at least the trees in the garden sympathized with him. We are sure Jesus did not fear death. The only satisfactory explanation of the agony he suffered in the garden is that the full burden of his sacrifice npon the cress seems to THE WATAUGA have poured in upon hi> heart here!'* in the jtardcn. It was his first aKony \ 1'?? air He v?.> to endure the j next day upon the cross.

It was evident that Gethseniane; tb was to Jesps a pexsonal experience. Th?s is one tune on record when Je us thought and spoke of his own I -uiTerimrs. 1'snaily He was i uteres-1 > ted in his own jdisciples and the lowds 11. 11 l'.;:owed Him.
