long on the inner meaning of the cross and now into his story he crowded his ieh symbolism he emphasizes the fact that jesus carried his own cross v 17 this does not contradict thi other accounts where simon is commandeered to help the procession started with jesus carrying his cross although he was later helped wih it the incident suggests ir symbol the voluntary na ture of the sacrifice golgotha v 17 the place of the skull beyond the northern wall of he city near where two ways cross mar 15 29 took its name from its shape possibly also from its grim associations jesus was not the

did him the last earthly kindn ss he receiv- ed 19 29 but it vas by men propsred for their task by military 1 discipline that ho was done to death on golgotha our military systems are planned to depersonalize those j whom they train soldiers are edii- catcd not to think for themselves out to give unreasoning obedience to a command such a system whiie it has noble associations with courage loyalty honor and selfeffacement counteracts that which christianity tries hardest to create a reasoning conscience coffin the meaning of the cross ii mother and son 19 2527 we now come to the most touching scene of all reckless in her grief jesus mother had pressed close to the cross in his dying agony his care for his widowed mother was his one earthly hought woman behold hv son said he looking at the disciple whom he loved in the word translat ed woman there is no harshness uch as the english suggests sym bolically the incident is taken hat jesus commends his mother the jew ish church tho ancient faith which gave birth to christianity into the keeping of the christian believers what was valuable and permanent in judnism row passes over into chris tianity the mother of jesus dwells in the house of his disciple iii the finished task 19 2830 then comes the triumphant it is finished what did ho accomplish in his finished work he bore our sins a ho was the victim of sins deadly hostilit b he bore our sins on his conscience he identified himself with men in their suffcing their need their corporate guilt he was under going tho cross long before lie found himself on calvary c he bears our sin away not in tho sense that another shoulders a legal debt for another but by demonstrating to us a love that swallows up sin and destroys it in going the full length demanded by tho sitaation he showed us the yearn ing heart of god that love wits from men an answering love rendering dis tasteful the sin that once appealed to them becase it inures him d he bara our sin in the sense that he is our substitute he opened up the way that leads to god that way once opened remains so for cer no one need repeat the vicarious sacrifice of him who gave himself to discover

mankind is travel ing enormous otiaoges have taken place iu thejast hundred years the pace is ever quickening our century has witnessed an enormous revelation in material things in scientific appli ances in political institutons ia man ners and customs the greatest change of all 13 the least perceptible by individuals it is tho far greater numbers which la every civilized coun try participate in the fuller lifo of man disraeli wrote at the beginning of the nineteen- h century that england was for the few and the very few now millions have lifted themselves above the primary necessities in eur ope a3 well as in america culture is a possibility for people who a cen tury ago would never have thought of it even indian and china who stood still for thousands of years are also rapidly moving what is it that has produced this new prodigious speed in man science ii the cause science cares nothing for manmade laws timehonored cus toms or cherished beliefs science ha3 laid hold of us conscripted us into regiments set us to work upon its highways and in its arsenals reward ed us for our services healed us when we were young pensioned us when we were worn out man in his earliest stages lived alone and avoided his neighbors with as much anxiety and probably as much reason as he avoided the fierce flesh- eating beasts that shared his forests gradually however the advantages of cooperation became evident for hundreds of ears man worked to gether to utilize his own muscular ef forts but another era dawned when he learned how to harness tho forces of nature methods of production and communication were speeded up the most wonderful of all modern prophecies is found in tennysons locksley hall for i dipt into the future fir as human eye could see saw a vision of the world and all the wonder that would be saw the heavens filled with commerce argosies magic sails pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales v heard the heavens filled with shout ing and there rained a ghastly dew from the nations airy armies grap pling in the central blue far along the worldwide whisper of the south wind rushing warm with the standards of the peoples plunging

glares at one that nods and wluk3 be hind a slowly dying fire these six stanzas of prediction writ ten eighty ycara ago have already been fulfilled there are two processes which we adopt consciously or unconsciously when wo try to prophesy wo can seek a period in the past whose con ditions resemble as closely 33 possible those of our day and presume that the sequel to that period save for some minor alterations will bo similar secondly we can survey the general course of development in our immedi ate past and endeavor to prolong it into tho near future tho first is the method of the historian the second that of tho scientist only tho second is open to us now and that only is a partial sphere but obviously all that science has achieved in modern times and the knowledge and power now ia her possession we can predict with some assurance the inventions and discoveries which will govern our fu ture we can but guess what reactions these discoveries and their applica tions will produce upon the habits out look and spirit of men today man can control great forces i is possible to control securately from the bridge of a battlecrtilser an the power of hundreds of thousands of men or to set off with one finger a mine capable ia an instant of destroy ing the work of thousand o maa- years these immense new sources of power and the fact that ttey can be wielded by a single individual have made possible novel methods of min ing and metallurgy new methods of transport and undreamed of machin ery undoubtedly the evolution of which they are the present outcome will continue at an increasing rate greater speed is assured wo are promised too uew and greater sources of power it may well be possible to chango the face of the world to ex tents of which we have not yet dream ed hitherto the production of food has been the prime struggle of man that war is won there is no doubt that civilized races caii produce or procure all the food they require our problem today is that the white man produces more wheat thau he needs but the yel low men brown men and black men have not yet learned to demand and become able to purchase a diet superi or to rice synthetic food will of course be used in the future but wei shall not have to face an existence of tabloid food instead our present food will be prepared but in a syn thetic manner wo shall hardly be able to detect any difference between the synthetic foods of the future and the natural foods of today equally startling developments lie already just beyond our fingertips in the breeding of human beings and in the shaping of human nature there seems little doubt that it will be pos sible to carry out the entire cycle which leads to the birth of a child in artificial surroundings interference with tho mental development of such beings expert suggestion mid treat ment in earlier years would produce beings specialized to thought or toil our minds recoil from the creation of beings who are capable o tending a machine but without other ambi tions and the laws of christian civili zation will prevent them but lop sided creatures of this type might fit in veil with the communist doctrines of russia future races may see new powers in the hands of altogether new and difliereut men to those to which wo of today are accustomed but while men have been gathering knowledge and power with everin creasing and measureless speed their virtues and their wisdoms have not shown any notable development as the centuries havo passed the brain of modern man does not differ in essen tials from that of the human beings who lived and loved here millions of years ago the nature of man has re mained hitherto practically unchanged under sufficient stress starvation terror warlike passion or even cold intellectual frenzy the modern man we know so well will do tho most ter- tible deeds and modern woman will back him up at the present the civilizations of many different ages coexist together in the world and their representatives meet and converse englishmen french and americans with ideas abreast of the twentieth century do business with chinese and indians whose civilizations were crystallized several thousand years ago we have tho spectacle of powers and weapons of man far outstripping his intelli gence we have tho march of his in telligence proceeding far more rapidly than tho march of his nobility we may well find ourselves in the pre sence of the strength of civilization without its mercy therefore it is important above all other things that the moral and spiritual conceptions of men and of nations hold their own nniid these formidable scientific evolutions other wise it would be better to call a halt in material progress what new york is wearing by annebelle worthikgton canada
