SCHAULAND, PASTOR SERVICES—Sunday 11 A. M. s Wednesday, 8 P. M. Bringing Christ to the Nations THE INTERNATIONAL LUTHERAN HOUR “Over Station KBON Every Sunday morn9 11:30 P.M. LJ —Publicity Department — 3558 South Jefferson Ave. Saint Louis, Missouri u fil Dr. Walter A. Maier Miami, Fla., March 2 (Special) The heaviest legal injus tice in ali history was the trial that sentenced Christ to the cross. Dr. Wallr A. Maier asserted here today in a special In ternational Lutheran Hour address. Comparing the trial of Oirist before his countrymen in Jerusalem with recent and present war criminal trials in Germany and Japan, Dr. Maier emphasized these contracts: “Prime Minister Tojo and tweny-seven other top Japanese defendants at the Tokyo War Crimes trials are defended by twenty-four American lawyers. Each of the Japanese pri soners has a top-ranking American lawyer besides a Japanese attorney of his own choosing.—Jesus Christ never had the be nefit of a single defnse attorney, and He was condemned be fore the hearing started. “At Nuernberg, during the trial against the Nazi leaders the court sat for 216 days.—The trials of Christ, both his coun trymen ami the Roman authorities took only a few hours alto gether. “The judges at the Nuernberg trial studied 800,000 affi davits, examined two hundred witnesses, heard millions of words of testimony. More than 4,000,000 words of evi dence were taken in Tojo’s trial.—But the capital trial of Jesus Christ had not a single true witness; no one came to His defense; and the whole record of His trial, as given in the Gospels, may be read in one minute. Even civil trials in America have completely outbalanced the life and death proceedings against Christ. The Alumin um Anti-Trust Suit took nine years and filled fifty-five pon derous volumes with evidence.—Christ was crucified within ..——— nviitiiiiNiinmtimiutminiHinuutniuaNiHiiiiMmiiNNnMmitimimmiiiimmtiin'miin r SPECIAL GET ACQUAINTED OFFER — 3 Beautiful 5x7 LIFELIKE PORTRAITS (in Folders) *2.50 PHOTOGRAPHIC GREETING CARDS From Your Negative $1.50 We Make Negative $2.00 —STUDIO OPEN— Evenings 7:30 - 9:30 Sundays 10 a. m.-3:30 p. m.

Rev. Goosby’s text for his Christian sermon was taken from John 6th chapter and 66th verse and his subject “The Two Routes and the Two Groups”. Before delivery of his message the Presiding Elder commended the Officers, Pastor and wife and members and friends of St. Johns for the excellent progress that is being made at St. Johns, spiritual, financial and the building.

SCHAULAND, Pastor BEHOLD THE MAN—These are familiar words: no doubt we have often heard them. But what do they mean? These words were spoken by Pontius Pilate when he led our silent, suffering Savior out of the judgment hall to present Him to the shrieking mob. To Pi late and to unbelievers in general Jesus is only a man, a stranger, a mistreated prisoner. But to the Christian world, Jesus is far more than merely “the man”. He is the God-Man, Jesus Christ, sent by the Father into an undeserving world. Lent will have little meaning to us unless we see Jesus giving Himself into death to pay the penalty of man’s sin, to purchase forgiveness and peace, to free all mankind from darkness and the valley of the shadow of death. Friends, make this Lenten seas on an important one by heeding the command: “BEHOLD THE MAN”. Behold Him as the Man of Sorrows, the Redeemer, suffering and dying for your sins.

BLETSON, Pastor HELLO FOLKS: ._...thfb is your reporter bring ing you the latest news about the Christian Endeavor League and Sunday School. You know once there was a clergyman telling his congregation of the affects of in temperance and said “I hope the time soon will come when all li ouor will be poured into the river.” “Now let us sing hymn No. 94.” Some of the members of the con gregation smiled when they opened the hymn books and read the title, “Shall We Gather at the River.” Well I guess it’s about time for some news. The ChHstian Endeav or League opened as usual Sunday at 6:30 p. m. with Hughie Embrey and Vice President, Miss Doris Darling, taking charge of the Lea gue. Here's something for young and old. The League will have a ‘People Are Funny Program’. If you think you need to laugh, well come on down. Admission FREE. Keep watching this column for the date. There will be hand bills out to let you know. Why don’t you voung people come out to our Lea gue and when you come out bring along a friend with you. The Sun day School still has the red star system and it’s working out fine. So far the Senior Class has the most red stars. Well that's the news for now and here’s my thought for today, “A mother tak es twenty years to make a man out of her boy and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.” / - ^ Fine Quality Printing Call HA-0800 READ THE GREATER GUIDE!

Council of Religious Education: used b* permission. JESUS SUMS UP HIS CLAIMS LESSON TEXT—John 12:12-18. 20-32T MEMORY SELECTION—And I. if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ah men unto me.—John 12:32. The last week of our Lord’s min istry on earth comes before us to day as we consider two events—one of which occurred on Sunday and the sther on Tuesday. One sees here the attitude of men toward Christ, of God toward men, of the Father toward the Son, and the majestic drawing power of the Saviour. I. Believing Men Honor Chris! (w. 12-16). God says, “Him that offereth praise glorifieth me” (Ps. 50:23). and the believer recognizes that “praise is comely for the upright” (Ps. 33:1). Jesus is entirely worthy of the praise of every heart and voice. Presenting himself as their Mes siah, Jesus received the enthusiastic acclaim of his disciples and friends, who were probably joined by others drawn by the excitement. The Pharisees did not join in (see Luke 19:39, 40), nor did the city, not even knowing who he was (Matt. 21:10, 11). So it is today; some love and praise him. some hate him, others just ignore him. Of which class are you? He gave Jerusalem ana tne na tion a final opportunity to receive him. It was not yet too late, but it was their last chance. Such a time comes in the life of every one of us. They rejected him. Do we? But even though some did reject, let us not forget that there were those who shouted, “Hosanna”; who cast their garments down before him and waved palms of victory and joy. Thank God for their holy enthusi asm. Pray God that we may have a little more of it. n. God Honors Men Who Serve Christ (w. 20-26). It is good to note that whatever i prompted the coming of the Greeks, they wanted to see Jesus. A man has progressed far on the road to blessing when he makes | known his desire to see Jesus. Com ing to him means coming to the One who has the words of eternal Iu. Note that the disciples were wise enough to bring the men to Jesus. The true function of every Christian worker is to bring men to him. The reply of our Lord to the Greeks, and to the disciples who brought them to him, seems a bit singular at first glance. Did he not wish to receive them? They had probably come to see the great re ligious leader, the King of the Jews —why did he talu about death? The words of our Lord are clear. Men do not need an example, a lead er, a teacher; they need a Saviour. It is as a sacrifice for sin that Christ will draw all men unto himself. III. The Father Glorifies the Son (vv. 27-30). The awful blackness of the bur den of the world's sins which he was to bear pressed down upon our Lord in an agony of soul beyond our ability to understand. But even his troubled soul did not turn from the hour of death for us. The question of verse 27 is essen tially this; “Should I ask the Father to deliver me from this hour? No, I came to be man's Saviour.” He did not look away, nor wish to turn back. He knew why he had come, and he was faithful even to death (Phil. 2:8; Heb. 2:9). He had only one desire—that the name of God the Father should be glorified (v. 28). Do we who bear his holy name follow in his foot steps? Do w'e have an eye single to his glory—or do we seek our own? Then came the voice from heaven; the Father had glorified his own name in the Son, and would do it again—yes, again and again. Jesus knew the Father would do it. he did not need any assurance (v. 30), but for the sake of the peo ple the witness was given. Notice | the reaction of the listeners—some recognized mat a neaveniy mes- » sage had been given; others had only heard some thunder. May God give us grace to hear his voice when he speaks, and not consider it merely the rolling of some deep voice of thunder! IV. The Son Draws All Men to Himself (vv. 31, 32). Because Christ was lifted up on the cross and died, there is victory over sin and death, declared by his resurrection and ascension to the Father. Satan is still at liberty in the world, but he is defeated (John 16: 11). Death still comes, but the sting is gone for the Christian (I Cor. 15: 55-57). The world is still fighting our Lord, but he is drawing men to himself here and there throughout the world.
