International Sunday School Lesson
for June 12 '

shepherd. The good shepherd lays
aown his life for the sheep. John 10:
11.
Lesson Text: Luke 23: 33.38, 46;
Mark 15: 34; Matthew 27: 57.60.
Symbolically washing his hands Pi
late allowed the Jews to proceed with
the killing of Jesus. No one knows for
certain the exact location of the scene
of the Crucifixion! Calvary, or Gol
gotha, meaning "The Skull" was eith
er northwest of Jerusalem, in the
present k Christian quarter, where
stands the church of the Holy Sep
ulchre, or north outside of the Da
mascus gate, beyond the present Mo
hammedan quarter. The former is
the traditional site and five religious
sects are rivals in conducting services
and caring for it.
Two thieves were crucified along
with Jesus. One reviled' him for not
rescuing them all from their fate. But
the other recognized the .goodness of
Jesus' and rebuked his companion, call
ing his attention to the fact that they,
at lflast, deserved their fates while
Jesus Vas innocent. This thief asked
Jesus to remember hi min his kingdom
and Jesus promised him that he Would
be with him in Paradise. No one
reading the gospel accountof this
solemn scene can fail to be moved by
a conviction 6f its sincerity.
Hanging on the cross and enduring
the torture of the crucifixion, mocked
and ridiculed by the soldiers and his
Jewish enemies, Jesus seven times
spoke. First, it was a plea for the
forgiveness of his murderers. Then,
his promise to the supplicant robber.
Third, he commended his mother to
John. Fourth, he asked God why had
he forsaken him. Fifth, an expression
of physical agony, thrist. Sixth, a
word of success, that his task had
been completed. Last, it was aolemn
commitment oi ms spirn into raie
hands of his Father.
Matthew tells us that, when evening
was come, Joseph, a rich man from
Armathaea, who "ajso was Jesus' dis
ciple," went to Pilate and asked per
mission ,to take the body of Jesus
down from the cross and bury it. Pi
late gave his consent and Joseph took
the body and wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth and laid it in his new tomb,
which had been hewn from a rock in
the hillside and in which no body had
ever been laid before. In order to
protect it from prowling animals, a
huge stone was rolled up to the door
of the tomb and then Joseph-departed.
Another account tells us that the
Jews, fearfuHest the disciples of Jes
us would 'come in the night and steal
'the body and then claim that he had
fulfilled bis prophecy of rising from
the dead, went to Pilate and asked
for an official seaUo be placed on, the
tomb and Roman- soldiers to guard
the entrance. Pilate xonsented and
this was done. .
We are reminded that there is dan
ger of our reading about the wonder
lifo and tlift .tprrihleness of
his death, without -paying any heed to
the truth that In living anddyingTis
he did, he laid demands upon us of
, loyalty to him, of faithful following
of his way to the cross. '- Christian liv-ft-
fog is beautiful but it is difficult as
y well and requires the walking of hard
. ... 1 1.1. ' -i '

others of much (that is dear to ufi. '
v. When the way gets too difficult for
us, let us remember the' words of John
a-1fir "For GnA ik loved ' the world
that he save his only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in him
' should not perish, but have eternal
life."

Baseball has been a healthy and wholesome influ
ence in the lives of American youth. It has taught
them the lessons of fair play and obedience to rules in
all. human relations. Like other clean sports, it
has furnished an outlet for youthful energies and
enthusiasm.
The delinquency in America today it traceable to
idle time spent in street-loafing and back-alley ses
sions with questionable associates rather than in
healthy, constructive activities.
In contrast, it has been said that the character
and stamina shown by American boys on the battle
fields of the world was built up on the sand lots of
this country in clean and invigorating sports.
Only a nation founded on the concepts of Christi
anity can produce this fair-minded and honest sports
manship. Only by upholding such standards as the
Golden Rule can we expect our youth to engage in
constructive spare-time activities.
Thus we find that religion is the true answer to
delinquency. So that Christian teachings may become
a greater part of our national life, we must bring our
youth into the Church where they will learn to live
and play by the Golden Rule.

The Church la the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building oi
character and good citizenship. It
ii a itorehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are lour sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
ot his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Flan to go to
church regulaMy and read your
Bible dally.
