more packed with trag edy sorrow human frailty di vine compassion wonder terror and sublimity than was ever be fore or ever will be again com passed in so short a period Beginning with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday one sees just how fickle is a crowd how easily moved from admiration to hatred how quick to forget the thousand deeds of kindness the wonder of I miracles and to change their cry from hosanna to crucify Looking back over the years it is easy for us to condemn those who forsook Him who betrayed Him who judged Him and sent Him to the cross But have we ever thought that we might have been just as frightened about our own safety as the disciples who fled or as Peter who denied Him It is wonderful that they were forgiving and lived to show the world their loyalty and courage j and faithfulness even to death Who are you and I to say what we would have done under simi lar circumstances and we even say we would have proved faith afterwards through the terrors of persecution To me the saddest thing in the whole sad week was the be trayal It is bard to realize that anyone who had lived so close to Jesus could have so little of His nature in them It has been said that Judas never dreamed but that Christ would declare His and seize all power from the Romans and that his remorse was so great when He said that such was not to be that he hanged himself The ugliest of all things was His treatment by the chief priest and the temple authori ties Here was the meanness of greed and avarice the terrible fear that afflicts those with power when they fear it will be taken from them They knew that Jesus fulfilled all that they looked for in a Messiah but they also knew that if He were recognized as Messiah that their power their ability to rob the people to squeeze the last coin from the poor would be gone and their wickedness exposed guilt was to me al ways greater than Pilates Caiapha knew he was sending the Son of God to death he was a Jew Pilate knew nothing of this and his guilt was in con demning an innocent man to death Here again as in the case of the priests love of power was greater than love of justice and these men go down in his tory condemned One wonders how they lived with their own hearts and con sciences There are lots of leg ends about Pilates unhappy ending but of his fellow criminal Caiaphas not so much As we stand beneath the Cross on Good Friday with Mary and John do we wonder If we would have had courage to stand on that first Good Friday But If we had had their courage what a spectacle was there the crowd composed of all nationalities some curious some filled with hatred some vaguely sorrowing Nature rebelling at the awful crime against the Divine thun dered and veiled the sun while on the tree the God man bore the burden of the sins of the world The wonders and the beauty of that troubled three hours came in the words from the Cross His comfort to the dying thief His remem brance of His Mother His for giveness of his enemies His agony of being cut off from His Father by the burden of our sins and then His surrendering of Himself into that Fathers keep ing and the final triumphal shout It is finished It seems to me that Holy Week is a mirror in which we look to see where we would have been on that Good Friday among those who skulked in the back ground or those who stood by the Cross The choice I think is still the same A Queen Passes Many women have made a mark on their times and have lived on through time the wo men of the Bible the reigning queens of history Queen Isa bella of Spain who helped Col umbus Queen Elizabeth who helped make England great And now another Queen has passed away She was not a reigning queen and yet the in fluence of a life lived with a selfless regard for duty and a love for the people over whom first her husband then her son and lastly her granddaughter reigned exerted almost as much influence as if she had held the reigns of power In a strange inexplicable way she was a part of all our lives We thought of her with affection Even her clothes came to be symbolic and I think we would have resented any major changes in what we felt was a part of the woman who wore them She lived her belief in royalty in religion and in family life She bore her griefs with the courage of a strong nature and a simple faith and though she has gone from us there will be a corner our hearts that will be forever Queen Mary CELEB Eightyyear old twins in Jas per Place Alberta Mrs E ONeill and Mrs Louise Moran who were born on Eagle St Newmarket
