Lesson for June 10
JESUS ON THE CROSS
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 27:33-50.
GOLDEN TEXT—Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the Joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and Is set down at tho right
hand of the throne of God. Hebrews
12:2.
PRIMARY TOriC—Jesus Dying for
Os.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Giving His
Life for Us.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Jesus Suffering on tho Cross.
YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Calvary.
In n real sense the grand climax of
the Bix months’ lessons Is reached In
this one. It Is not a matter of learn
ing the lessons taught by a great
teacher, or Imitating the examples of
ft great, good man, but of apprehending
the atonement made by the world's Re
deemer. lie was made to be sin for
us that wo might be made the right
eousness of God In him (II Cor. 5:21).
I. The Place of Crucifixion (vv. 33,
SI).
They led him away to Golgotha, a
hill north of Jerusalem, resembling a
skull. lie was crucified without tho
gate (Ileb. 13:12). At first he was
compelled to bear his own cress (John
30:17), but when physical weakness
made It impossible for him to con
tinue, they compelled Simon the Cy
renean to bear It for him (v. 32).
II. Gambling for the Clothe6 of the
Lord (vv. SO, 30).
It was the custom for the soldiers
who had charge of the crucifixion to
receive the garments of the one cru
cified. We have here a fulfillment of
Psalm 22:18, "They parted my gar
ments among them, and cast lots upon
my vesture.” What sacrilege for them
to gamble for his seamless robe under
the very cross where he was dying.
If they had but eyes to see they could
have beheld a robe of righteousness
being provided In his death to cover
their sinful nakedness.
III. The Accusation (v. 37).
It was customary to place over the
victim on the cross his name and
crime. This superscription was placed
over Jesus by Pilate to vex the Jews.
He was their king In absolute truth.
They had long looked for him and
now when he had come, this Is the
kind of treatment they gave him.
Though they rejected him and placed
a crown of thorns upon his head, the
throne of his father David is his by
right of the unfailing covenant of God
t* David (II Sam. 7:8-16).
IV. Two Malefactors Crucified With
Him (v. 38).
we are not tola who they were. Per
haps they belonged to the band of'
Barabbas. This again was a fulfill
ment of the Scriptures. “He was num
bered with the transgressors” (Isa. 53:
12}.
' V. The Dying Saviour Reviled (vv. ■
39-44).
He was reviled by the passers-by, the
chief priests, the scribes, the elders
and the very malefactors who were
crucified with him. In their mockery
they unwittingly spake great truths.
1. “He saved others, himself he can
not save” (v. 42). This Jest was meant
to show the absurdity of Jesus’ claims,
but It demonstrated them and showed
the reason for his suffering. He could
;not save himself and others so he
chose to give himself to save others.
2. “If he be the king of Israel let
him now come down from the cross”
(v. 42). His refusal to abandon the
cross established Ills rightful claims.
The devil offered him the kingdoms of
the world If he would escape the cross
(Matt 4:8-10). The very fact that he
did not abandon the cross proves that
he was what he claimed to be, for It
was unto the cross that he came.
3. “He trusted in God; let him de
liver him now, if he will have him”
(v. 43). His refusal to abandon the
cross was to the full delight and sat
isfaction of God. His obedience unto
death was the sacrifice which met
God’s full approval.
VI. The Death of Christ (vv. 45-50).
Who is sufficient to comment upon
tills tragedy. Let us contemplate it In
adoration and wonder. So shocking
was this crime that nature threw
around the Son of God a shroud
that the godless company could not
gaze upon him. Darkness was upon the
land at noonday. This darkness was
the outer sign of that which hung
over the Lord. H§ became sjn
for the world arm tiie world’s sin
hid Qod’j face from him. God for
' nook him, turned from him who had
taken the sinner’s place. God was
dealing with sin on the Innocent sub
stitute. When the price of sin was
paid he cried out with a loud voice
showing that he still had vitality; that
his death was not from exhaustion
but by ids sovereign will. He yielded
up his spirit to God.
Honorable Way
We need not borrow the tools of
Satan to win the victories for Jesus.
Any honorable end can he reached in
an honorable way. God sets no goal
which haS to be won by Insincerity
and indirection.
Where Strength Lies
“I will lift np mine eyes unto the
hills.” Tlie vision of God unseals the
lips of man. Herein lies strength for
conflict with the common enemy of
the praying world known as wander
ing thoughts.
“Cutting in” is the great peril on
the roads now, but in former days
we did our worrying about the cut
ting out that was done to us by the
smart boys who got our girl friend
away from us.
The politicians will soon be asking
us to rally to the defense of the old
flag, and save the country from ruin,
and also they will remark that to
accomplish these noble ends,we must
all come across with a campaig.
contribution.

The Railroad
Favorable progress is reported on
our railroad all along the line, from
Pocomoke City to Accomae C. H.,
Va. The road has been graded, ex
cept a few hundred feet to this
point, and the track will be laid
to the Accomack line today. After
this date, from one-half to a mile
of track will be laid a day and the
road therefore to this point, a dis
I tance of 28 miles will be completed
in thirty or forty days. Below this
place the work of grading is being
vigorously pushed and the entire
road to the terminus will be graded
| far enough in advance of the traek
| layers, to prevent delays in that re
spect and if they lay the track as
rapidly as they now expect, the en
tire road will be completed by the
first of September. Trains we
are advised will begin to run to
points where the road is completed,
as soon as station houses are erect
ed, and other necessary arrangements
I made. It looks, therefore, if the
sources of our information are cor
j rect, that the farmers in many parts
I of our county will have the oppor
! tunity if they wish, to ship their
! round and sweet potato crops to mar
j ket this season, by rail.

By the valley of rest so fair,
Some day, some time, when my task

With joy I shall meet them there.

No matter how great my despair,
Does not Heaven seem nearer and
brighter,
To know that they are there.

South Hill is the birthplace of
Methodism in America and the first
Methodist school for boys was lo
cated in Brunswick County, adjoining
Mecklenbeurg, while near Boydton in
Mecklenburg the oldest chartered
Methodist college for men was es
tablished. The Virginia Conference
is the oldest Methodist organization
in America. It was organized in
Brunswick County 150 years ago.
The first Methodist church in the
section was Old Salem Church, lo
cated about a mile from South Hill.
A monument in the form of a native
boulder with a bronze tablet has
been erected by the people of South
Hill on the site of this first church,
and the State has placed an histori
cal marker on the spot. Bishop
Hughes will represent the Northern
Methodist Church and Bishop Mou
zon the Southern church at the un
veiling of this monument.
A blue granite marker erected at
the present South Hill Methodist
Church, which is the successor to
old Salem and South Hill churches,
will also be unveiled during the cele
bration. A painting of Bishop As
bury, first Methodist bishop in
America, will be unveiied with elab
orate ceremonies to be held in the
warehouse. An old pulpit, from
which Bishop Asbury, Bishop McKen
dree, the Rev. Lorenza Dow and
other early fathers of the church]
preached, will be among the relics
on display.
Pilgrimages will be made to the
site of the Ebenezer Academy in
Brunswick County, first Methodist
school for boys, established in 1774.
A monument marks the site. Old
Randolph-Macon College for men,
founded in 1830, will also be visited
by interested students of Methodist
history. The college was moved to1
Ashland but the old buildings are
still standing.
Thousands of Methodists fom Vir
ginia and North Carolina are expec
ted to attend the celebration and
elaborate plans for entertaining these j
visitors are being made by the com
mittee. A picnic dinner will be serv- i
