^Ham-Ramsay Campaign Is
Now In Its Third Week

Entering ui>on iU third week
Tuwday morning, the Ham-Ram
?ay evangelistic campaign is now
la full swing.
The two. big sendees Sunday,
at which a record was set for
church # attendance is Elizabeth
City are still the talk of the.town.
Not only did ah attendance of
10.000 mark the tabemacl?- ser
vices, but also the services at the
city churches In the morning
showed a greatly increased at
tendance.
Hardly less impressive than th*'
evangelist's own lecture on the
Present Day Offensive of the An
ti-Christ Sunday sfternoon was
the testimony of Miss Luclle
,Alood. former society leader at
Henderson, who in a straightfor
ward and appealing way told of
how In the beginning of the Ham
Ramsay campaign in her city she
would not go about the taber
nacle. She persisted in that atti
tude. she said, until her brother
was saved. Then she wan Im-'
pressed that he had found aome
thing thai she wanted, and she too
began to attend and was convert
ed. Since that time, she declared,
there had been no comparison in
(he happiness that she had found
In her new life with that she had
known in the old.
Another pleasing number of the
afternoon progrsm was a solo. "In
the Garden." by C. B. Harrison,
chaliman of the music committee
of the meeting at Henderson. On
account of the time given for tes-l
ttraony from the Henderson dele-1
gatlon which numbered about 25
persons, the song service by the
choir was abbreviated.
Trained for the Uw
Trained for the law. before ho
went Into business and then into;
the ministry. Mr. Ham was unus
ually well qualified to present his
subject Sunday night, the Trial of
Jesus from a Legal Standpoint.1
After a dramatic presentation of
~the trials before the Jewish I
courts and before Pilate and Her
od. with Indescribable effect od
his hearers the speaker said: ?? I
"In the days of Pilate the Tilt
ing Word was crucified. Today
the Written Word Is on trial. To
night the question before you Is. ?
?What will you do with Jesus? But1
Bite time Is coming when the que*-!
Won will be what have you done
*wlth Jesus?"'
Another telling Interpolation
came when the evangelist referred
to Pilate's saving *'1 find no fault
In this man."
"That has been the judgment
of every man who has ever Inves
tigated the claims 6f JSUnCTUlT"
the speaker. "Still stands his qui
st challenge: 'Which of you con
vlcfteth me of sin.' No word that
He spoke has ever been weighed
In the balance and found want
ing. And yet if He van not the
Son of God and One with God He
waa an Imposter. You can not
acclaim His ss perfect man and
deny His divinity."
The Hormon follows:
Because of the tremendous
Issue Involved, the trial of a man
for hI? life always has poeaessed a
fluctuating Interest for his fei
lowmen. The crowded condition
of every court room where such
a trial is in progress attests the
truth of this statement.
Interest In Trial"
And Just as certain notable local
trlsle of this sort never losp their
hold on local Interest. hut are the
aubjert of diacuislon for a gener
ation; uo the historical records of
capital trials of nation-wide Im
portance. and a few of world wide
importance, have held the Inter
?at of every succeeding genera
tion.
Among these may be mentioned
the trial of flocrates, the most;
spiritual and one of the most in
tellectual of ancient philosophers,
on g charge of tr?aaon to the Attic
yVpuhllc. corrupting her youth
mnd blaspheming her gods, and
IfHw the Athenians were able to

An 1'nlque Trial
The Irial of Jesus was unlike
any of the other notable trials
mentioned. In that it was of a
deal nature lie lived under,
two codes of laws, the ecclealas
?fcal code of His own rac?, the
V*wt, and the Roman Civil Law.
Known la our day as the Juatlnlan
<X>de. Bach of th?se ssfsjste
?ad distinct codes of laws was
admlafetered by a aeparate and
dlatlact authority or aet of of fl - j
cers. Kom?- had act deptit) gov
ernors over each conquered pro
lines to enforce lier laws, collect
her taxes and keep down Insurrec
tions. against h*1*- authority.- l'ou
tlus Pilate was the li-id of the
Roman government of Judeu.
where?J.-^us ?as arr^.U-dand
tried, and Herod Ant i rax was
Romau governor of Galilev, where
Jesus had h!? residence.
At this period of Roman his
tory her government had b come
?o corrupt that most of it* offi
cials sought anil aaeptvd_ bribes
to relmbulfieThenr for men") t ?aid
by themsolvca to procure their
own appointment to office. For
inMtance Herod wan an apostate
Jew who. In order to retain his
office as t?trarch of Ualliloe.
turned truitor to bin own raco and
served their conquerors and op
pressors. His father was II* rod
I. the monster who in order, to
make sure of destroying Ui?/In

infamy knowu iu history as the
"Slaughter of th* Innocents." and
he himself was a drunken de
bauchee who bud robbed his broth
er Philip of his wife, and John
the !!aptl?t lost his head by bold
ly denouncing this rrlnte to both
Herod and the woman. John the
Raptlst, by the way. was not the
last preacher to lose his head
through the guile of a dancing
woman.

And Pilate and Herod were t ho
men who/sat In Judgment at the
Roman frlnl of Jeans. Later on
In this discussion we shall see tha!
th<* member? of the Jewish court
who sat in judgment upon Him at
the Hebrew trial were for the most
part even more eorrupl and char
ucterleas than Herod and Pilate.
Had Hlx Trials
For Joans was first glvetr three
trials under 'Jewish law?on?? be
fore tin High Priest and two be
fore the Groat Hanhedrln? and af
terwards three trials under the
Roman 'aw ? first b?fore Pilate,
then before Herod, and ugaln be
fore Pilat?*.
And Hla arrest and t lies? six
trials and the sentence and execu
tlon all occurred between mid
night of April fi. A. I> 3'?. and
o'clock the next afternoon, a
p pace of about fifteen boiirsf
These six trials, though each
separate and distinct from the oth
ers. were really so many separate
efforts of the Sanhedrln and the
subservient Jewish rabble to a
rompllsh their predetermined ptir
pose to destroy Jesus by any
means that might rome to hand
Hence they are all usually spoken
of as so many steps in on? trial,
and I shall adhero to that order of
treatment; Riving aeparat? con
sideration. however, to the pro
readings under the Jewish lnw and
those under tho Roman authori
ties.
For th*' Jews were permitted by
their Roman conquerors to retain
ihelr own laws, courts and proce
dure in ao far as they nright not
conflict with I h oso of Koine or
contravene the interesi? of Home,
pnd to make nure that this should
not occur, all Important action <
by their courts, such an trial? for
rapital offences, must be suhml:
ted to the Roman authorities i >r
review and confirmation.
The Feet s And The Leu
The two main things for consid
eration in ?very trial are tfc?- facts
In the case and the law applicable
to tho facta. In the trial of J? us
we must ro to the four Gospels of
the New Testament for th ' facts,
and to th? five hooka of Moses. In
the Old Testament, and to the Tal
mud for the law. so far as the He
brew trial was concerned. The
Talmud Is a set of about font
hundred volumes of epmmentarles
on the Mosaic Isw by the Jewish
doctors of the lsw. They bear
much the same relation to the Mo- ,
fair law that our legislature actai

Kugiiith courts as the leading
treatise on that branch of the law.
Following are briet extracts from
quite an 'xhnustive and convln
ilrg treatment of this matter in
Mr Uretnloaf's great work:
"Kvery document apparently au
rjeni. coining from the proper re
pository or custody. and bearing
upon lis face no evident marks
of forgery, the law presumes to be
genuine, and It devolves upon the
opposing party the burden of prov
ing it to be otherwise."
"That the books of the Old Tes

rerctred and referred to uniong
the Jews as the sacred hooks of
their reliulon, and that the t?xt of
th?' four Evangelists (gospels)
has been handed down to us in
tin* state in which It was orlgiual
ly written: that Is. without having
been materially corrupted or fal
sifi d, either by heretics or Chris
tions. are factx whi< h we are en
titled to axsume as true, until the
contrary be shown."
"It is quite erroneous to sup
pone that the Christian Is bound
to offer any further proof of
th?ir genuineness or authentici
ty. It Is for the objector to show
them spurlouiy; for ??n him. by the
plainest rules of law. lies the bur
den of proof."
In addition to the facts and the
law in a case, aud built upon them
us the foundation sills, there are
Always lo be considered the in
dictment, complaint or charge
against the party accused; the ar
rest under the . Indictment; the
jurisdiction of the court before
whom h-? I* nrraigned; the pro
cedure or trial itself; the verdict;
the H?nt?*nce based upon the ver
dict. and the execution of the sen
tence. I shall consider each of
these several elements of the trial
of Jesur In their logical order.
The Jewish Trial

tb*' Jewish trial of Jesus I shall
ilrny th?- legality of Ills arrest,
the legality of His examining trial
be f o vm t lie Hlfth Prlqst. the leaal

the legality of the tribunal before

against Him. and the legality of
the execution of that sentence.
Jerusalem was thronged with
Israelii?-s who had come to thefr
holy city from all parts of the
world fo the annual celebration of
tPassover, their greatest na
