The solemn commemeration of the Crucifixion was held in ser- mon and music, special choral an- thems and hymns being sung by the choirs in St. George's, Holy Trinity and Christ Church. : . The theme of the sermons preach- ed by the clergy centered around the death of Jesus at Calvary who was cruicified that man might live. Holy 'Trinity Church Special' musical features had been 'arranged for the occasion. A service of sermon and medita- tion lasting from high noon until three o'clock in the afternoon was conducted by Rev. Captain S..C. Jar- rett, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican church. Large congregations were present during the meditation per- dods and the whole service was ex- tremely impressive. The subjects for the six sermons which were preached during the length of ser- vice were taken from the six declar- ations of Jesus made during His crucifixion by the Roman mob. They were, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do", "Today tho shalt be with Me in Paradise", "Wo- man, behold thy son, son behold thy mother", "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me", "I thirst", and "It is finished; into. Thy hands do I commend My t." Taking the subject concerning the cry of Christ when He was suffering from the pain of death, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me" Captain Jarrett pointed out that immediately following this beseech- 'deacon Warren. Archd ing 'call to His Father, the intensity of the agony passed away, and He received the blessing of the Lord. From the time He had first been placed on the cross, there - spread over the land .an intense darkness which brought with it a silence of death. The agony for Jesus must have indeed been great, said Captain Jarrett. In the midst of this silence there arose the voice of Christ NE appealed to the Lord for strength to complete the fulfilling of the Word. Theére was upon Him the guilt and sin of the world as if He had act- ually committed the crimes of the world. Realizing this only too well, Jesus appealed for greater aid to Anish His life as the Lord had plan- ned. A choir of 20 voices led in the singing of hymns while Walter Jack- son at the organ played suitable ac- companiment during the periods of meditation, Christ Church The Good Friday evening ser- vice of Christ Church was a litany service.
