Where are you Standing?
There in good view of the crosses
was the mob of jeering peoples who
still cried out with mockery "If Thou
Art the Christ Save Thyself’ These
are the ones who have executed the
wishes of others. They have been
whipped into an emotional frenzy with
little thought of why they Were doing
the thing. They were just being pop
ular, not thinking of what would have
been right or wn n j.
Over to the side s ands the digni
fied Priests of the Temple, the most
prominent of them being Caiphas
whose wisdom planned it all. They
watch over their evil with great de
light, They wear their purple with
gold ornaments. What a priesthood.
Standing to either side at attention
are the soldiers of the Empire. They
did their job well and, with pride,
glory in the scene before them. Think 1
ing: let others defy the government
and they shall meet a like fate.
There behind the mob is Simon the
Cyrenian. Remember him? He bore
the cross for Christ, why all this was
being done, for this man might be the
true son of God. He remembers the
look in the Master’s eyes as he took
up the cross for Him, and those words
of thankfulness as he laid it at its fin
al resting place. There he stood with
wondering sympathy.
Over to another side was a small
group of His followers. There was
Mary, his mother; Mary Magdalene,
and one or two other loyal believers.
Though weeping they still believe that
He is the Son of God, and are filled
with wonderment as to why God has
thus let him suffer death. But there
they remain, loyal even to death.
If you had been on the summit of
Golgatha on this occasion, Where
Would You Have Stood?
The most searching reality of this
hour is that you do stand on a modern
Golgatha’s Hill. You stand and wit
ness again the brutal crucifixion of a
Christ — your Christ.
There is the curious mob - just
there to be with the crowd, others
just for the thrill of it all. Look at
them there now. just thousands of
them never facing an issue for them
selves. Just a pressure group in the
hands of anyone who can whip them
into line If you look closely you can
see the crafty evil ones who planned
it all Paj ing upon the ignorance of
the masses, working for their selfish
ends. Standing there with delight as

Jewell Lain’s armload represents food brokers’ selection of the
greatest grocery advances of the first half of the 20th century.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—May
be the housewives of the nation
won’t agree, but the mere men
who set the pace in the food
brokerage business have picked
the “top ten” advances in grocery
products and services over the
past half-century.
However, they don’t expect
many women to disagree with
the nominations, because at least
half of the goods and services
named were included because
they represent savings in time
and labor for the homemaker.
Here’s the “top ten” named at a
convention here:
i 1. Frozen foods, sharply reduc
ing meal-preparation time; 2.
ready-mixes, spectacular shortcuts
Christ is crucified There, also see p yv
er, the power that lifts the right prin
ciples to a thousand crosses. Just
where do you stand?
When Jesu’ came to Golgatha
They hanged him to a tree.
They drove gr< at nails through
hands and fe t.
And made a Calvary.
They crowned him with a crown
of thorns,
Red were his wounds and deep,
For these were crude and c uel days
And human flesh was cheap.
VVnen Jesus came to W.lklnson,
They simply passed him by.
They would not harm a hair of him,
They only let him die.
For man had grown more tender now
They would not give Him pain.
They only jusi passed down ths
street,
And left Him in the rain.
The crowd g me home, and left him
Without a soul to see.
And Jesus crouches against a wall,
And cries for Calvary.

Street of Irto in ton

Have yon ever had a dream
wherein you walked down an old
familiar street and entered a door

years, - and suddenly fjund your
self in a strange place? And you
