The .Major t*url
From the very beginning of recorded history, * women
hate; plated major par! the detelopment , , and , ad- .
a in
vancement of mankind. In history books we see those hero
ic pioneers who came to this country and out of a wilder
ness carted , the great Nation tt hose benefits tte enjoy
today.
Little, however, is said about the women whose pres
ence in the background made it so essential for the striving
democracy to survive. They were there, and through it all
they provided the inspiration so necessary for its survival.
Today , America's women are again on a frontier and
whether or not we retain our true national greatness will
rest a great deal in their hands. Whenever war drums roll
it means double work for the women, who must remain be
hind and keep alive freedom’s spark on the home f-ro’nt.
With America’s industrial plants going full force to
turn out war materials, not only for our protection but for
those fighting for the same ideals in foreign lands, the
women have a wonderful opportunity to again demonstrate
that true Americanism which made our land a great
Nation.
have met the challenge—on every hand we find concrete
examples of their willingness to do their part and more.
Georgia farm women and 4-H girls brought about
considerable accomplishments in clothing last year by car
rying improved practices with an estimated saving of a
quarter million dollars.
Extension specialists in clothing said that some 37,000
women and girls were enrolled in clothing projects in 1940
and that these women through the projects contributed to
the family income in cash and in kind as well as to a more
satisfying and happy home life ’
Clothing is onlj one phase . of . the , program. This . yfjar
Georgia soil will blossom with gardens and when the har
vest is reaped, out will come the canning supplies and
Georgia women will put aside a bountiful supply for win
ter months that are to come.
So on and on—on every side we find Georgia women
ready to carry the burden as in the past—in short, we
have t but . little i; U i a. to fear e with the women in i back i of r us.

Weeks ago opponents of the lease-lend bill admitted
that their cause was lost. From the beginning, it was a cer
tainty that the bill would go thruogh. And so, when an ir
ritable, debate-weary Senate finally voted on the bill on
the evening of March 8, it came almost to an anti-climax.
There was no filibuster. There was no excitement. Con
gress simply gave its formal approval to a fateful, far
reaching policy which had been established and decided
in all basic essentials long ago.
The bill passed with comparatively little change. It
gives the President powers which can be compared only to
those conferred on Wilson during the World War. He isj
in short, empowered to sell, transfer title to, lease, lend or!
otherwise dispose of any and all war materials to any pow
ers whose defense he considers vital to the defense of the
United States. The Senate added three more or less im
portant amendments, all of them approved by the White!
House. One ends the authority of the President to enter
into contracts, on June 30, 1943, and stipulates that all
contracts must be fulfilled by July 1, 1946. Another limits
orders for war materials to amounts which will later be
authorized by Congress, and adds a stipulation that not
more than $1,300,000,000 worth of war supplies now pos-,
sessed by our Army and Navy can be transferred. The
third requires the President to report to Congress on the
progress of the program each 90 days.
Two much-publicised proposed amendments were
beaten. One would have forbidden the President to allow
the the V L. fc. S Navv >a\\ to to ronvov con VO) supply snnrilv snips shins abroad aoroaci. AS A- White White
House spokesmen pointed out, this meant little or nothing
inasmuch as the Constitution gives the President, as Com
mander-in-Chief of all the military forces, almost unlimit
ed authority over naval actions and policy, and it would
take a Constitutional amendment to change that. The oth
f>r amendment would have forbidden sending an A.E.F. to
foreign lands without explicit Congressional approval. Ad
ministration leaders said this would weaken our foreign

Fible enemies that we would be unable to back up our talk
with action. Congress concurred.
The vote did not divide strictly on party lines. The
Democrats held their forces well in line — 49 voted for the
bill, and but'13 against. The Republicans split. Seventeen
Faid no. Ten voted yes—including the party’s Senate lead- j

It was the ever-eloquent Winston Churchill who,
months back, spoke of the new ties which are binding
England and the United states together, and, in magnifi
cent phrases, likened this to the Mississippi River — saving.
Jet it roll, in full flood, “to broader lands and better days.”
That too is the hope of Washington for the world of the
future.
The peace of such a world would be guaranteed by
two great powers—the United Kingdom and the United
States. They will have the navies and the gigantic air
forces. They will guarantee the liberties of little nations.
They will work for a higher standard of living for all. It is ! ,
h splendid dream. But, until and unless all that the Hitler
theory of government represents is destroyed, it can be
only a dream. •

Golden Text: What shall I do
then with Jesus Christ? Matthew
27:22.
It is evident that Christ did
something upon which our salva
j tion depends. Was it his self-em
ptying when he, the Eternal Word
j became flesh and dwelt among
men? Was it that he performed
miracles of healing for the minds
and bcd.es of men? Was it that he
i manifested his love even for the
worst of men? According to the
New Testament, none of these is
saving work. That without which
the supreme center of Christ's
there could be no salvation is his
death. We come into the very hi ly
of holies as we look upon the
sreatest tragedy and the greatest
achievement of God among men—
death of the infinitely glori
ous Christ in inconceivable agony
and shame u P° n the cross -
Following the Passover, the in
stitution of the Lord's Supper, and
our Lord's discourse with the dis
ciples: as recorded in John 13-17,
events moved swiftly to the terri
ble climax of his death. Passing
from the upper room, Jesus and
the disciples wrnnt out into a near,
by garden. Eight of the disciples
stopped near the entrance, where
they soon fell asleep. Peter, James,
and John went farther into the
garden with Jesus at his request,
that they might watch and pray
with him. Soon they too became
heavy with sleep.
Which suffering is greater, that
of anticipation or that of realiza
tion? Jesus well knew the horrors
that ' ly before him. His soul re
volted from the ordeal. He had
come from heaven to earth, he had
W h y should he now undergo this
fearful suffering and shame? in
unimaginable agony, he prayed,
sa ri n s. “Father, if thou be willing,
remove this cu p trom me - Mat '
thew tells U3 that three times he
prayed this prayer until victory
came and then he prayed: “Nev
ertheless, not my will, but thine,
be done.” Then came an angei
from heaven strengthening him. It
may dc that this suffering in
Gethsemane was even more
cruciating than the agony of the
| cross.
At length the noise of the ap
proaching mob sent Jesus to awak
en the disciples with tender so

could any of these send more pain
to his heart than the kiss of the
traitor Judas?
Placed under arrest. Jesus was
first taken to the house of Annas,
the former high priest. With quiet
dignity, but with indignation over
the unfairness of it all, Jesus re
fused to defend himselfi before
Annas, and was slapped in the
face by one of the near-by offi
cers.
Lacking any authority whatev
er, Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas.
the ruling high priest. Since there
was no charge against Jesus, false
witnesses were br.bed to testify
but they could not agree in theii
testimony. Failing thus to make a
hiTVtl the d.’rS
question, “Art thou the Christ, the
Son of the Blessed?” 'Mark 14:61).
When Jesus simply replied, “I am,”
the outraged high priest lodged
against him the charge of bias

holy reticence the Gospel writers
,,ar? ,1S the horrors of the details
of this most awful act committed
men in a '* human history. The
physical , suffering of Jesus was
immeasurably greater than that ol
the robbers who were crucified
with him, for his was a body un
touched by sin, incomparably sen
sitive to pain. Vastly more agoniz
:-g than his physical suffering was
his mental and spirtual torture.

the title, THIS IS JESUS THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
The desolation of his soul reach
ed its climax when sin, like a
thick cloud, arose between him
and God, shutting off the face of
his Father so that he cried, “My
God, my God, why hast thou for
saken me?” (Matt. 27:46), When
the sponge full erf vinegar was
placed to his lips, he cried, “It is
finished'’ (John 19:30), and died.
God had “made him to be sin for
us, who knew no sin; that we
might be made the righteousness
of God in him” (2 Cor. 5:21).
Clearly we now see that it was
Christ's death that achieved our
redemption, it was for this end
that he was born. It was toward
this end that all his life moved
It is back to this supreme climax
of his redemptive mission that we
turn for our hope of salvation. To
one of the thieves crucified with
j him, • there suddenly somehow
came the realization of the tre
mendous import of the death of
thls stran ee one, dying as a God,
the innocent for the guilty. In his
own agony, he turned to him, say
ing, “Jesus, Lord, remember me
when thou eomest into thy king
dom. And Jesus saved this re
pentant thief!
} So boundless was the signifi
cance of the hour of Jesus’ death
i that darkness came over the earth,
the sun refused to shine, and the
j the veil midst. of the Temple was rent in
The infinite penalty was
being paid for the infinite guilt of
sin. The universe itself was shock
ed by the price that God was
paying for man’s salvation. The
torn veil of the Temple signified
the passing of the Old Testament
era with its human priesthood and
symbolic sacrifices. The Lamb of
God was being slain to take away
the sins of the world.
Sin is a hideous, devastating,
ruinous destroying, ever-growing
and never-dying thing. No human
suffering can ever pay the penalty
of it. No human sacrifice can ever
wash away the guilt. That is why
Jesus suffered and died. He, the
infinite Son of God, with illimita
ble capacity for suffering, paid a
sufficient penalty to expiate all the
sins of all mankind from Adam
until now, and from now until the
end of the world. Thus he is able
to save to the uttermost all who
come to God through him (Heb.
7:25).
Is Christ on trial today? All over
the world are those who reject his
claims, who refuse the salvation
which he purchased at infinite
j cost ’ and who hav « turned **«>«•«

MUfle they are ignorant of his
| claims. They have never been told

) ! one to convince them. The great
est question before humanity to
day is, “What shall I do then with
Jesus which is called Christ?” Jes
us has made his case. He now de
pends upon us to be his witnesses.
It is our business to bring the
whole world to know, to love to
obey, to be saved by him who is
the only Saviour,
