London, Conn., for tho Ynlo crow. Tho
Indeed, for many decades of its
history our navy got along without a
naval academy. Midshipmen went to
sea from the first and learned how to
use a big gun on the deck of a man-o'-war.
Navigation wna learned from
tho officers of the ship na they did the
actual work. A senior offlcer might
gather together the young men under
Ills caro for n lecture now and then
or he might not.
It wns not until 1815, in the days of
James K. Polk, when George Bancroft
was secretory of tho navy, that the
agitation for a naval school gained
hondwny. Fomented priclpally by tho
younger officers, who Baw as the navy
Increased that tho requirements were
multiplied, tho tide began to rise un

grounds of Fort Severn.
Early Days In the Academy.
The course under Commander
Franklin Buchanan was fixed at five
years of which only tho first and last
wero to be apent nt the school. In
January, 184 C, four months after the
opening, the students consisted of 3G
midshipmen of tho dnto of 1840, 13
of tho date of 1841, and seven acting
middles appointed to the previous
year. The first group was gradunted
after their limited course of one year
in 1846.
In 1860 came the first reorgaizatlon,
providing for a courso of seven years,
tho first two nnd the last two to bo
devoted to study and tho three Inter
mediate years to be spent at sea. Next
year a board of examiners dropped the
three years of sea service In the mid
dlo of tho course nnd the present four
consecutive yeara of study was In
augurated. Tho practice cruises of
tho summer supplied tho place of the
omitted sea service.
The work of the academy was sad
ly interrupted in tho Civil war. when
part of tho students went to the front
and tho rest wore moved for safety to
Newport R. I. But It has since then
followed tho development of our navy
study until It gives today a moro thor

The Shame
of the Cross
By REV. WM. WALLACE KETCHUM
Director of the Pmtictl Work Count, Moody S
Dible Initituts of Chicigo
TEXT Me endured the cross, despising
the shame. Hub. 12:2.
The cross, which Christ endured and
tho shamo of which ho despised, was
not the Idealized
and sentimental
ized cross of
which wo hear
much today. It
was a cross mado
of r o u g h h own
sticks of timber;
an I n a t r u m cnt,
like tho gallows,
upon which crim
inals wero exe
cuted. And yet, Christ,
we aro told, not
withstanding this,
despised Its
shame. What
shamo? Tho
Bhnme of being put to death as a com
mon criminal. For It was as such, you
will recall, ho was condemned to death,
and as such he died In the eyes of the
law; though ho did nothing worthy of
death, and Pilato his Judge found in
him no fault at all.
When wo apprehend that Jesus
Christ, the Holy Ono of God, suffered
the reproach, the dishonor, the con
tempt, the Infamy and ignominy of a
common criminal's execution, wo begin
to know a little of the shame of the
cross. We understand something of,
what Paul means when, speaking of
Christ becoming obedient unto death,'
ho adds, "oven the death of tho cross."
But there is a deeper shame than
that of which wo have spoken. It Is
the shame that came to him through
dying; hia death identified him with
the result of sin. for death is a conse
quent of sin. "Wherefore, aB by one
man sin entered Into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all havo sinned."
So, while Christ suffered tho shamo of
dying the death of a common criminal,
It was greater shame for him, tho Son
of God, in whom was no sin, to die at
all.
Tho teaching of the philosophers
thnt death la natural to man, la not
tho teaching of the Bible. The body is
not tho prison-house of tho soul from
which escapo is desirable. The body
and soul united constitute tho com
plete man. This docs not mean that
when the dissolution of soul and body
takes place, the soul does not survive
tho body. The Scriptures teacli it
does; but they also teach that man's
complete personality consists In tho
union of both soul and body, and that
this will be realized at the resurrection
of tho Just. Death then Is not natural,
but unnatural. It Is tho resultant of
sin, and so for Christ to die was a dia
grace, a reproach, a shame. Death had
no dominion over Christ; no claim up
on him for ho was without eln. "No
man," ha said, speaking of hia death,
"taketh my life from me, but I lay It
down of myself. I have power to lay
it down, and I have power to take it
again." Ho alone of all men could aay
this. Other men die because they must,
tor "death has passed upon all men."
Ho became obedient unto death; he
yielded up his spirit; that is, ho al
lowed death, the great conqueror of
mankind, to overcome him. Ho suf
fered its shame.
But deep as this shamo was, tho
shame of the cross was still deeper.
It wa8 the shamo of our sin. For there
on the cross, "Ho bore our sins In hia
own body;' there, "the Lord laid on
him tho Iniquity of us nil;" there, "ho
suffered for our sin, the Just for the
unjust, that ho might bring us to
God;" there, the holy spotlesB lamb
of God "died for the ungodly." Thus,
"the ono who knew uo sin," became
Identified, not only with tho result of
sin by death, but with sin, being "mado
aln for us." It was this, moro thun any
thing else, that constituted the shamo
of the cross of our Lord. Us baseness
and dishonor was your sin and mine,
which he there put put away by tho
sacrifice of himself.
Wns It for crimes that I have dono,
Ho gronncd upon tlic tree.
Amuzlng pity, grace unknown,
And Love boyottd degree!
1 wish wo might cntch tho picture
given us of our Lord In the two words
"despised" und "endured." Tho first
word showa him so far above tho
shamo .of the cross that lie, as it were,
looked down upon it. Literally, tho
word means "to think down upon;"
that is, to think lightly of It. What a
wouderful Christ! Becauso of the joy
sot before him. ho could think lightly
of tho awful shame of tho cross.
Truly, our master "came not to bo
ministered unto, but to minister nnd
to give his life a ransom for many."
Tho other word, "endured," pictures
him as voluntarily, patiently, suffering
on tho accursed cross. Wo see him
hold thoro, not by tho cruel nails that
pler.ced his hands and feet, but by bis
own indomitable will and supremo
lovo for us. Human hands placed him
there, but dlvlno lovo kopt him thoro
Surely, his crucifixion from tho human
side was murder, for with wicked
hands they slew him, but on tho divine
sldo it was sacrifice, God felving his
eon to ho tho savior of the world nnd
tho son giving hlmsolf that wo might
havo life through him.
