Easter (Continued from page 29) and allowed the sentence of death by crucifixion to be passed. What had this Man done? He had dared to speak the truth! Because He was not afraid to expose the lies and hypocrisy of the world, He was hated and feared. The world turned against Him and thought to silence Him forever by sentencing Him to die on the cross. But the truths which He revealed did not perish on the cross, but have lived. Let us look back to the three long hours of agony He endured. The executioners lead Jesus to the spot where the cross is lying on the ground. They violently stretch His hands and feet to the places marked for them, and fasten them with nails to the wood. Mary hears the strokes of the hammer and every blow wounds her heart. Mary Magdalene's grief is intensified by her incapability to help the tortured Jesus, who is heard to speak, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." It is the sixth hour. The sun. withdraws its light, and darkness covers the face of the earth. The stars appear in the heavens. The thief whose cross is at the right of Jesus feels himself touched with repentance and hope. Turning to his companion, he upbraids him for having blasphemed Jesus, and then turning his head toward the cross, he said to Him: "Remember me when Thou shalt come into Thy kingdom," and Jesus said in his second word on the cross: "Amen, I say to thee this day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise." Mary draws near to the cross. The darkness has dispersed the crowd. Jesus looks with tenderest affection upon Mary, His mother. The sight of her sorrow is a new grief in His heart. He is dying and she cannot console Him. Mary Magdalene is there, distracted with grief, and John, overwhelmed with sorrow. Jesus speaks to His mother, and to the beloved disciple: "Woman, behold thy son." After that He said to His disciple, "Behold thy mother." It is close upon the ninth hour, the third hour after mid-day. The agony of the Man of Sorrows has become so great that it forces from His lips the plaintive sigh, "My God, My God! Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" There was but one detail of prophecy which was as yet unfulfilled; years before the royal psalmist had said, "And they gave me gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." Well He knew that in answer to His words one of the soldiers would present to His dying lips a spongeful of vinegar. But He came to fulfill all and do a perfect work, and He breaks that awful silence by that word so expressive of suffering — "I thirst." And now His eyes begin to close and His lips become cold and livid. Jesus lifts up His head, and fixing His eyes on heaven, speaks thus; it is His sixth word: "It is consummated." This Man, worn out by suffering, whose few words were scarcely audible now utters a loud cry. It is His seventh and last word: "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit." And so, on this day, we have only to remember the crucifixion to know that in spite of the sufferings of life, the faith of one Man still is the hope of mankind. The truths He gave to the world can be a Guiding Light to all people.
