Jesus, ted by Judas, who had be

Wit to flieir nurnose. Peter, impe-
tuous and courageous here, drew his
Jy sword and struck a blow iM "defense
v Jtof his leader. But the one ne in
'flicted only proved to be the last oc-
rsasion of a healing miracle by Jesus.
' As his enemies triumphed in his per
onal cftpturev the disciples of Jesus
scattered and deserted him.
; John and Peter followed him and
through the influence of the former
v gained admittance to the quarters of
the ex-High Priest Annas, before
whom a kind of preliminary trial
i m had. .It was while standing in
this house that Peter's relationship
to his master was; publicly procjaim
' ed. each time insistently denied by
' . this. disciple who a short time before
' had declared his readiness to die fox
his leader. Jesus crossed the court-
1 &f 1 as Peter completed his third
denial, thus fulfilling' the prophecy
pnd a look from his leader " was
. enough to send Peter out weeping
in bitterness and humiliation. Later,
he Was restored to his discipleship
" 'vlem laid the foundation for the early
- church.
From Annas, Jesus was carried to
r Caiphas, the ruling Priest, where
false witnesses made conflicting
statements in regard to Jesus. At
last, however, Jesus by his own
words apparently affirmed his claim
' to be the Christ, whereupon the re
ligious officials cried "blasphemy,'
tore their clothes in despair and pro
nounced the verdict pf death upon
him. Later in the morning, this
j sentence was formally pronounced,
i f "inasmuch- as it was illegal to have
f . . such a trial at night. Another rule
violated in the procedure of the trial
5 of Jesus was that which required a
J day to intervene .between any trial
4nd a verdict of guilty.

the Jewish leaders had to receive the
confirmation of the Roman Governor
Pontius Pilate, for no authority to
take life "had been left with the Jew
ish leaders. Before this cruel, weak
and corrupt provincial official, Jesus
was carried by his Jewish antagon
ists. They charged him with stirring up
: sedition inasmuch as they, realized
that their religious ' indignation- over
. his supposed blasphemy would make
. ;no impression upon Pilate. The Gov-
, Arnorr asked Jesus about his claim
" to kingship and in reply was told
' . that his kingdom was not of this
: earth. Pilate seems to have realiz-
led that Jesus was innocent of any in
flringement of Roman Law but, seek-
ing a. loophole from his embarrass
: ment, suggested that they carry him
" before Herod, who at that time hap
pened to be in Jerusalem.
Herod was in.no way willing to
'A , solve tbe problem for Pilate and af
,Vs ter questioning and mocking Jesus,
' returned the troublesome prisoner to
" the Roman Governor. As Jesus
.;: stood silent under the accusations of
' his enemies, Pilate marveled.
The custom had grown in Jerusa
tjTfem to release some prisoner at this
'p season and Pilate hoped that by re-
ference to it he could effect the: lib
eration of Jesus, but when this was
i 1 . . t
mentioned oy mm, the . crowd was
persuaded by the priests to demand
the release of Barrahas who had com.
Lason mitted murder duriroir an insurrec
tion. To add to the perplexity of
Pilate, he received a message from
his wife urging him to treat Jesus
justly. (He then had him scourged
and crowned with thorns, possibly in
hopes that this punishment would
satisfy the Jews, but their only ans
wer to his question as, to the fate of
Jesus was the reiterated demand
that he be crucified. Without furth
er examination, Pilate pronounced
Jesus guiltless, washed his hands in
token of personal denial of responsi
bility but jn feat of the Jewish
threat to report him to Caesar, deliv
ered Jesusvinto the power of the
'Jewish ecclesiastical authorities.
No man in position of authority
ever made as serious a mistake as
Pilate did, for he sought temporary
safety and ease and to purchase the
same, denied the claims of justice
and truth and sent a good man to
an undeserved death. Many men oc
cupy analogous situations every day
and are called upon to decide whether
or not their personal interests and
comfort are more important than the
fundamental issues of right and
-wrong. I
With Jesus delivered into their
hands, the soldiers mocked him. They
arrayed him in a cloak, pressed a
wreath of thorns upon his brow and
handed him a reed, mocked him as
King, soon changing to assault and
abuse. Then, Jesus was compelled to
carry his cross to' the scene of the
crucifixion, which he was unable to
do because of physical weakness, and
Simon of Cyrene was impressed by
the soldiers to perform this service.
Having reached the place, he was
impaled upon the cross along with
two robbers, and his enemies lingered
around watching him in the agony
of death.
Seven times Jesus spoke from the
cross, which sentences can be taken
from the acts of various gospels. The
first was a prayer of forgiveness for
his enemies. The second was spoken
to the repentant robber. The third
was addressed to his mother Mary,
and John. The fourth was an ex
pression of abandonment by God.
The fifth was an expression of suf
fering from thirst. The sixth was
triumphant that his work has been
completed. The seventh was a com
mitment of his spirit into the hands
of his father.
A violent earthquake marked the
passing of JJesus. The soldiers who
had witnessed his death were con
vinced he was a righteous man.
Joseph and Nicodemus applied to Pi
late and secured permission to
the body proper burial.

Sixth In a Series "Re-
viewingr Hertford
Businesses"; W. M.
Morgan's One of the
Oldest
One of the largest, most modern
and most complete furniture houses
in this section of the State is the W.
M. Morgan furniture store on Church
Street'.
For twenty-five years the genial,
enthusiastic head of the Morgan -business,
"W. M." himself, had been
meeting the trend in this section be
fore he moved into his present huge
surroundings a little less than a year
ago. For years, even before that,
he had been in the funiture business.
"W. M." is furniture-wise. He al
most religiously attends the big fur
niture shows up-State. He sees
where the trend is going in advance
and then plans his stock accordingly.
It was because of businesses that
grow and prosper with the years,
mat lae ierquimans Weekly wrote
on My 8, 1939, when Mr. Morgan
celebrated the Twenty-Fifth Anniver
sary, that "Businesses that endure
and expand with the years are the
ones that evidence the high esteem
in which they are held by their pa
trons. For only by patronage can
any business expand ... or even sur
vive. Hertford is well-stocked with
firms that count their records of
service, not in single years, but in
tens of years."
It was Mr. Morgan's sincere hope
at that time that his new store would
reflect credit on the Town of Hert
ford and on this section. It has.
Personnel in the huge Morgan
store includes besides "The Furni
ture Man" himself, Mrs. Morgan, his
daughter, Miss Helen Morgan, and
W. T. (Bill) Elliott.
