He | r* :  le-d t l.e foil >w ing s-rmon :
The cross was a gibbet on wlm h crirn
.nals wer" put to death. It was some
times ma le in the sh j>e of the letter T,
gome iine.s »n the shape of the letter \»
si metin»e- hi the s: ape of the letter 1
a wimple upright. sometiimK two cro.-s
pieces against the perpendi ular bar, t j
that upon t he 1 ower rro-s piece the crim
inal partially sat. Hut whatever the
style o: cioss. it was always disgraceful
and always agonizing.
W hen I'arius conjuerc-d I-abvlon, he
put two hun Ired captives to death on
the  TOSS. When Alexander conquered
Tyre, he put two thousand captives to
death on the cross. So it was just an
ordinary mode of punishment Hut in
all the forest of crosaeS on the bills and
in the \all« V 8 of the earth, there is onu
cross that attracts more attention than
any other. It is not higher than the
others, it is not made out of different
wood, there is nothing peculiar in tho
n»rtch at which the two pieces are joined
ami as to the scene, they witnessed cru
cifixions every lew weeks, so that 1 see
a reckless man walking about the lull
and kicking carelessly aside a skull, and
won 1. ring who the villain was that had
so fit i n 1 misshapen a head . and h r >
is iHith r>. nil, and there on the bill,
side is anothfi skud. Indeed, the Hible
says it was a ' place of skulls.'' Hut about
the vatim »n ( no of these cross s all
ages are crying ' Who is he? was he a
man ' was he a (iod ? was he a man and
 od ' '
Thnngh the darkness of that cloonov
day I roue-  ! ose up enough to the cross
to see who it is. It is Jesus. How did
he c>line tli. i''Ha 1 he come upon the
top ot the lull to look o'l upon the beauti
ful landscape or upon a brilliant sunset
No. lie ame th *rc ill an I exhausted

seven hours, while other vi tims liave

Now, they have ariived at the foot of
the hill. « »tl with his loth"S. shall
ti.at loathsome mob look upon the un
robed body of  hrist Yes. Tic i e.n

the coat ?  »ne rtillian sav-: ' I have it,
it is mine !" He rolls it up and puts it
under his ar n, or he exam nes it t" -e
-what fabric it is male of. Then they
put the cross upon the ground, an r h
str- teh ' hrist ujion it, an I four or !
men hold him down while they dr \
spikes home, at every thump a groan, a
groan! Alas! Ala"! the hour j.
on and the time c-~»uies when the,. :
crucify him.
 hrist has only one garment left :
a cap, a cap of thorns. No danger ma
lt will fall of!, for the sharp i
punctured the temples, and it i sure
 in-* ruilian takes hold of on • • n I

another ruffian takes hold of the oti, r
en l of the short beam of the cross, ami
an ther ruMiau juits his arms around the
w a st ot ( hris', and another ruffian takes
hold of the end of the long beam of t e
• ross, and altogether they move on until
they come to the hole digged in the
ear.h, and with awful plunge it jars
down wiih its burden of woe. It is not
the n dure of a i hrist, it is not the statue
i of ' hrist, as you sometimes s*e i I a
' rathe iral ; but it is the body of a hie d
ing. living, dying Christ.
'J hey sometimes say lie had live
! wounds, but they have counted wroug.

for the feet, one wound for the side, thev

I saw one r»n a Hiooklyn ferryboat, in
the ban is of a gent eman who hid iunt
returne 1 irom I'alestine, a bramble just
i hk • that out of whe h the crown of thorns
waitnade. )! how cruel and how stub
j born were the thorns. And when that
I cap of tliorns was put upon  hrist, and it
was pressed down upon Him, not livo
i wounds but ten, twenty, thir;y I iu
not count them.
There were three or four absencestlan.t
made that s ene worse, l irst. th re was
I the absence of water. The climate \UJ
hot. the fever, the inflammation, the
nervous piostration, the gangrene lial
Rei ed upon Him, and He terribly wanted
wat r. llis wounds were worse than
jjunsi.ot fractures, and yet no wat r. A
