Pahl of the St. Paul's Evangelical church, occurred the marrmge of Will H. Palmer of Lin coln and Mrs. Mary F. Cole of Omaha. Bible School Sunday. March 21st "John's Picture of the Trial and Crucifixion." (John 19:4-J; 14-18; 25-30) We are coming now to the end of the "Divine Tragedy." The great moment has come "the hour" in which the Son of God as the 'Lamb of God" must be offered up as the sacrifice for the sin of the world. The law demands it. Divine justice de mands it. Love demands it. "With out the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin (Heb. 10:22 1. So the lamb of God goes to the slaugh ter ( Isa. 53:7). May we go with Him from the upper room to Gethseniane. listening to the warning of Peter about the de nial, the entering of the garden; His agony, his victory, the arrest last miracle, led to the trial, all disciples iled. Jesus is alone in the hands of His enemies; but from a distance Peter and another disciple followed. John brings Peter into the palace ef the high priest. Here Peter denies his Lord, three times as Jesus said he would. The unusual trial before Annas early morning hour. Annas was not hish priest, but the father-in-law of Caiaphas. the real high priest. The illegality of the trial should be poiuteil out. It was held (a) in the night (See Acts 4:3-6); (b) it was conducted by a man with out authority; (' it was held on a feast day or holiday illegal ; (d) it was illegal for the high priest to in terrogate Jesus concerning his dis ciples and doctrine; (e) there is no charge herewith stated. The attitude of Annas toward Jesus and the flagrant violations of Jewish law only revealed the terrible rotten condition of Judahism's holy city at the time the Lord Jesus came to earth. The examination of Christ be fore Caiaphas was followed by an interval in the high priest's palace, when our Lord was exposed to the ridicule and insults of his enemies and the brutal treatment of the K - man soldiers. At daybreak the Sanhe drin again assembled, and after hearing his confession that he was the Christ, condemned him to death All these details are omitted by John. The trial before Pilate brings out the Innocence of Jesus; the motive of the Jews of prosecution; also the!. , ,' , T I Lord, according to prophesy (Isa. cowardly character of Pilate; the! . e. , ., ... Ui:U.) Six hours on the cross, suf- misuse oi nis power oi releasing prisoners and the dastardly way he turned Jesus over to the mob, with out passing sentence on Jesu3, only giving consent to the clamor of the mob incented by their leaders. The scourging by Pilate was not justi fied, after declaring hini repeatedly innocent. 'But he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement ofi our peace was upon him; and with! Jiis stripes Ave are healed." (Isa 33:5) J DEATH OF M. A. V0RNDRAU From Tuesday's Daily Word was received here today of the death of Michael A. Vorndrau, SO, at Ft. Wayne, Ind. Mr. Vorndrau was a brother of Chas. J. of Plattsmouth and of the late Jno. M.

The Crucifixion of Jesus The picture of the Son of walking cut of the Holy City God the city of Melchizedek, the city of David, the city of a great line of prophets, his head and body bruised and bleed ing, carrying on his ' shoulder the crushing weight of the wooden cross, knowing in his heart that shortly he would himself be stretched upon it, is a scene calling more for meditation than for exposition. An erronious idea corrected: It has often beehi said, taught anel pracheel that Christ broke down under the weight of the cross, and another had to carry it to the end. Nowhere does the narra tive make mention of that. That Simon, the Cyreniau, came along and the soldiers placed Jesus' cross on hi.s shoulders, was part of a great plan of God. This man was converted at the cross, and carried the story to the "dark continent," where his two sons, Alexander and Rufus were convert eel and became the two first bishtps for the new religion. (Mark 15:21). Jesus did not need any helper in Uis work ef redeeming the world. (See Isa. G3:l-3.) Crucifixion was a Roman form of execution of crim inals; Palestine was under Roman rule at this time. It was a eery cruel and tortuous mode of execution ri tber barbarious. Who is able to draw an adequate picture fo this spaetacle. Stripped , during the day. The company have of all c!;,thes. the body laid on, the 'secured an office room in the old bank cross on the. ground, stretched on j and have fitted it up for an office the cTbss. nails driven through hands, where they will care for the official and feet, the cross is raised un and i work for the foniiw n v dropped into a socket in the ground; there the .body hangs until death comei to their relief. In the scorch ing sun or the chilly wind, naked, exposed to the curious crowd. (Paint ers have draped the body of Jesus. ) Seven times we hear hi3 voice: (1) father forgive, etc.; (2) Verily j ilyI say unto thee, etc. ; (3) Womau behold thy Son, etc.; (4) My God, my God. etc.; (5) I thirst; (G) It io I finished ; (7) Father into thy hands, etc. Jesus' mother did not see the end, John led her away.
