THE BLOOD OP HIS CROSS
"And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by
him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things
in heaven-" Col. 1:2.
We usually think of His cross as
being that structure of wood on
which Christ was placed for cruci
fiction. The word of God teaches
us that he was crucified at Gol
gotha- (Matt. "27 : 32-35) The most
significant feature of the cross was
the shedding of blood. Blood repre
sents sacrifice in its wholeness.
The greatest sacrifice ever made
was the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
on Calvary's cross. Using the blood
of Jesus to mean sacrifice in its
wholeness we learn the following
lessons.
? Love is one of the greatest, if
not the greatest, moving factor in
the world today. When love is pos
i sessed great enough it will move
the possesser to action. Our diffi
culty today is the lack of love
, When a man and a woman love
each other sufficiently they will
give themselves to each other un
reservedly in the bonds of matri
mony- God is love- Because God is
love he was moved to give his Son
to shed His blood on the cross for
sin in order that we might be re
deemed- "For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only be
gotten Son, that wlie soever be
lieveth in Ijim should not perish,
but have everlasting life." John 3:
16. The death of Jesus on the
cross was God's love in action for
a lost world. Love is the primary
factor in redemption.

TO MEET THE TURNS IN LIFE'S HIGHWAY
The little Miss, "playing grandmother preparing her Bible School lesson", is a
laudable Impersonation.
Children are born mimics. They begin to imitate their elders early in life.
If the little folk can find in their parents, and others, constructive and worthwhile
practices to Imitate, all Is well.
One of the strongest duties ol a parent is guiding the child toward appreciation
oi church attendance, where His Holy Teachings are revealed in terms the child
can understand and practice at an early age. By setting an example, which the child
at first may mimic, you will not have failed in yoor duty as a parent, when that child
grown to adulthood, appreciates what a source of comfort and spiritual rejuvenation
church attendance can be.
