BftUCf BARTON ■■ f, THE E3 MASTER EXECUTIVE' V-yp*Tiiic > wtffc-to (»t tbt bary- bcrtkncd trtrr Uxum srui paralleled itfthe eapmerjoeKf The Mi* ;;:•••■ -v.. -t CtVJ'l' I* - BTHKNGTH, ASSI.RANOH, CAI>I More than once in his journeys Jesus had passed the victims of the Justice tft thkk' jdiy. writhing, tor tured beings nailed to crosses and ■waiting tieleaae. Some times they wiltdq days be to re the end. The mejUery'of such sights wast have been him; »t every sunset hi >*as conscious that he had walked just one day nearer to his 'own ojrjaeal. Yet Jesus 06ver (altered. Calm ly, cheerfully he went forward, cheering the spirits of his disciples, and striking 'lttootte'} fiery blows against hypocrisy which were to lie ' Whoed by the hammer blows' upon his cross. And when the soldiers came to arrest him, they found him ready and still calm. t *! • 1 The week of his trial and cruci fixion takes up large portion of the gospels. For that' Week alone we can follow him almost hour by hour; we know when he ate and slept, what he said and to whom; we can trace the gathering storm of fury which finally bore him down. And this is the magnificent thing to remember —that through all that /k>ng torture of imprisonment, court trials midnight hearings, scourgings, loss of food and loss of sleep. Jesus never once ceased to be the master. His accusers were determined. They thronged the courtyard before the palace, clamoring for his blood, yet even they felt a momentary awe when he appeared' before them on the balcony. ' • Even Pilate felt. it. The' two men oflered a etrarttfe 'contrast stand ing there —the • Roto an governor whose lips were : : soon to speak the aentence of death, and the silent •elf-possessed ejMcarpeß.terr—accused and doomed —yet! bearing himself with so much majesty as though he were somehov beyond the reach of man-made law,' and safe from the hurt of its penalties. In the face of the Roman were deep unpleasapti [lines;: his cheeks were fatty with self-.indulgence; he had the colorless look of indoor liv ing. The straight yo.yng nrnn stood Inches above him', bi'onzed and hard, and clean as the air of his loved mountain and lakfl. Pilate raised his.hand; the shout ing and the tumuit died; a deathly ■tillness descended upon the crowd. He turned and faced the figure at his side, and from his coarse lips there hurst a sentence which is a truer portrait than any painter has aver giVen us. The. involuntary testi mony of tho flabby cynical Roman in »he presence of perfect strength, t>erfect assurance, perfect calm: "Behold." he cried, "tbe man!" THE HIWT MIRAHiE The Gospels tell a differen story. The life of Jesus, as we read it in the scriptures is what the life of Lin coln would be if wt- were given noth ing of his boyhood and young man hood, v**ry little ot, his work in the White House and levpry detail of his assassination. All. ff the four gos pels contain very full accounts of the weeping which attended the cruci fixion; John alon.e remembered th« laughter amid which th? first mira cle was performed. It was in the little town of Cana. not far from Nazrii'eth; and Jesus and his mother had: been invited to a wedding feast. Often such a cele bration continued several days.

Enthusiasm was at a high pitch on this occasion when a servant, en tered nervously and whispered a dis tressing message to th«? hostess The wine had given out. Most of the guests were too busy to note the entrance of the servant or the qulek flush that mounted to the hostess* cheek. But one woman's sight and sympathy were keener. The mother of J*sus saw every move' in the little tragedy, and with that instinct which is quicker than rea son she understood its meaning. She leaned over to her son and confided the message. "Son, the wine is gone." Well, what of it? He was only one of a score of.gnesjts. perhaps a hundred. There had b-en wine enough as it was; the party was noisy and none too restrained. Be sides, there was a precedent in the matter. Only a few weeks befor» when he was tortured by hunger in the wilderness, he had refused to use his miraculous power to transform stones into bread. If the recruiting of his own strength was beneath the dignity of a miracle, surely he could hardly be expected to intervene to prolong a party like this. Did any such thoughts cross Jesus' mind? If they did we have no record of it. Heaglanced at the wistful fac*> of the hostess— -already tears sparkled under her lids-—he remembered that the event was the one social triumph of her self-sacri ficing life; and instantly his decis ion was formed. He sent for six pots and ordered them filled with water. When the contents of the first one was drawn, the ruler of the feast lifted his glass to the bridegroom, and the bewil dered but happy hostess: "Every man setteth on first the good wine," he cried, "and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now. The mother of Jesus looked on in wonder. She had never fully un derstood her son; she did not ask to understand. He Uad somehow saved the situation; she did not question how. And what was suf ficient for her, is sufficient for us.
