That he meant . civilian is evidenced "by his quasl-humorous observation that women were much more particu. Jar thay men in getting artificial eyes that matched the color of "their real eyes. Well over 100,000 people have been killed in the United King: dom by alr ralds, the' great ma- Jority : being ~ civillans, Bombs 'being no respecter of persons, many of them, probably more than half, have been women and chil. dren. Of thé injured, at least 10,- 000 have lost an eye. Thousands have lost arms or 'legs. As long Jiving testimonies to the brutality of the Nazis. Harsh as it seems, there 's no other way of teaching the German people. that this sort of warfare brings its own retribution except by paying thém back in thelr own coin, and with cumulative inter- est. There is no way of stopping the raids on Britain except by inflicting worse raids on Germany, . Those who live by the sword, or the bomb, must perish by the sword or the: bomb.

Many Nazi Troops Sent Into: Norway ~Adolf Hitler has sent 50,000 combat troops into Norway since March, despite the demands of the Russian front and has per- suaded Vichy to send almost half a_ million tons of goods--Ilargely. war materials--as well as troops to Dakar, Frénch West Africa, according to British sources. - They said signs that the Nazis feared an Allied: invasion into Northern Norway were evident also from a German army order that traffic on. all roads leading north from the Port of Narvik to Tromsoe be limited to mili- tary transport, and from the deés- patch of several Austrian moun- tain regiments to the area be- tween Narvik and Kirkenes, -U.

Place.--The place called Cal- vary, ! " The Crucifixion 83(a.)* And when they came unto the place which is called the skull, there they crucified him, 33(b). And the malefactors, one onthe right hand and the other on the left," Some have thought that .the place -was 50 called be- cause it was a low, rounded emin- ence in the shape of a skull, Others have thought that it was given this name because. there dead bodies were thrown. The two 'men crucified on each side of our Lord were robbers,' per- sons' of very evil character, Prayer For Forgivenessu: 84(a). "And Jesus said, Father forgive them: for they know not what they do." We must surely suppose.-that the prayer was ut- tered, not only for the Roman soldiers, who were the mere jn- struments of the executioners, but for all' His enemies. : 34(b). "And. parting his gar. ments among them, they cast lots." - Selfishness here scems concentrated -- out of this ter- _rible event, they were determined to personally profit, in' the ac- quisition of property, no matter how insignificant its value. The Gazing People 856(a). "And the peoplé stood "beholding." Jesus had spoken of ~ them as being without a shep- herd, and many of them had come to hope that perhaps He was their Shepherd. = Could they but see, He was indeed the good shepherd and in the mystery of the Cross, he was laying down His life for them, ~ The Scoffing Rulers 85(b). "And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself,. if this is the Christ of God his chosen," The very fact that these supposedly religious men, the rulers of the Jews, members of the Sanhedrin, could cast such words at one who had never done, anything but good, offers ade- quate evidence that these men were not seeking justice, Notice that they did not insult the wicked malefactors - but were casting these words: at One who never did anything but that which pleased the Father. . The Mocking Soldiers 86. "And the soldiers also mocked. him, coming to him, of- | _ ~ fering him vinegar. 37. and say- ing, If thou-art the King of the It was the days, All -these insults took place during the earlier part of the crucifiction, and before the awful darkness came on. The soldiers would delight in these taunts, because like the ancients, generall", they detested the Jews. Tamults of the most violent kind often arose irom the brutsl ;-so- lence f Latrcd whicls they showed (to the conquered nation. y The. Superscription 88. "And there was also a sup- _erscription over him, 'This is the King of the Jews." We hear nothing about inscriptions for the malefactors, Not, however, till Jesus was crucified 'did the in- (scriptions 'appear and were the (Jews aware of it and of the writ. ing it bore, The Dyeing Thief 89. "And one of the malefac- tors that were hanged railed on him, saying, 'Art not -thou the 'Christ? = Save thyself and 'us.' -40;-But the other "answered, and _rebuking him said, 'Dost thou not "even fear God, seeing thou art - in the same condemnation? 41. And 'we indeed justly; for we receive the due award of our ~ deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42. And he said, Jesus, remember moe when thou comest in thy kingdom", Here fs one of the most: remarkable passages of all the Scriptures. This one malefactor, called the. 'repentent thief' believed in God. Most criminals cry out "in the cay of their condemnation that they: are innocent, but this man said he was guilty, "He believed Jesus to be innocent.. This thief had real faith in Christ: did not plead any merit of his.own, He flung himself utterly on the mer- cy of Christ, = : Promise Of Salvation 48, "And he said unto him, 'Verily I say unto thes, today shalt thou be with me in Para- fL5Y 4 Looking like something out of a tortured dr blaze somewhere in Britain, fireman fights English from Americans, FUTURISTIC FIREMAN TANT NEA ES A MAA hd AX eam, asbestos-clad Suits were gifts to -Achieves Success . each growing the crops he wishes, ground up, = dise'" In our Lord's gracious response to the thief's request we have a striking illustration of how Divine grace exceeds human expectations. The thief prayed that the Lord would re- member him in hi coming king- dom, but Christ assures him that before that very day had passed he shoud be with the Saviour in Paradise. Not only does Christ's reply signify the survival of the soul after death of the body, but it tells us that the believer is with him during the interval that divides "death from the resurrec- ton. > "The Darkness 44, "And it was now about the sixth hour, and a. darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And the veil of the 'temple was rent in the midst." «which The darkness served as a mantel for the sufferer, to cover him from the scoffing and violence of His enemies. Cry, From The Cross "And at the ninth hour cried with a loud voice, Eloi, lama sabachthani?' is, being interpreted, 'My God, My God, why hast thou for- saken me'? 46. And Jesus, ery- ing with a loud voice, said, 'IFa- ther, into Thy hands 1 commend my spirit', and having said this he gave up-thé-ghost."" The loud voice with which Christ spoke in- dicates that Christ did not die of exhaustion, but that he main- tained fullness of strength and power to the very end, The word "Father" shows that Jesus' soul has recovered and 'the darkness is gone, 84.
