GOOD FRIDAY SERVICES

We have heard of people who lisiike Good Friday services.

They say that they dread the gloom that the recital of the iavlour's sufferings brings when the world's chief need is sun-

thine. t Thd outcome of those sutur- s. however. was the only real

Esht that the world ever knew. I think oi Mother's garden-one

it the most fertile spots on the

rarth's surface. About this time rvery spring we would see in it neaps of black Iertllimr taken from the bottom of the pile. It was rottcn rand rotting, evil rmelling and worse looking, and :lie farther we could keep away irom it the better pleased we were. In due time the plow and the hoe did their work; all that was offensive was turned under and the fresh soil brought to the surface: the beds and rows were prepared: and then her touch and skill and loving expectancy. Each seed and plant was given the soil and space it needed; the plot was fenced off from marauders; weeds saw in it their opportunity. but

-not one of them was allowed to

stay: and Nature soon turned the dark substance underneath into forms oi life and beauty.

.

The new life could not have flourished without the fertilizer, for its substance was the support of luxuriant growth. and the very material which had appear- ed at its worst a few weeks be- fore was by nature's magic turn- Id into the best.

Do we need to apply the illus- tration? Earth's blackcst wicked- ness lcd to the bursting forth oi the light oi Heaven. Man's sin and cruelty were the occasion for bringing out of the divine nature something which could not have appeared otherwise-the highest and best that we know of God. Without Good Friday's night oi sorrow Easter": sun could never have risen. it was love on the divine scale, love absolutely with- out limit, that wrought the change. and overruled the worst for the best.

Jesus has. lived by that law oi love. He taught it to his follow- ers in the sermon on the Mount. His examples in the operation of that law have been called the most impracticable ever given. "You have heard it was said: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you. Do not resist one who is evil. But if airy- one strikes you on the rightcheck turn to him the other also: and if anyone would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."

Human nature revolts and calls such a spirit impossible. Love uri- limiied is the power which makes such treatment of another pos- sible. It can be given only to the one whose salvation means more to you than anything else. Here is the underlying principle-let the sinner's sin come to a head in what he does to the one who love him, and he will be com- pelled to recognize the real char- acter of his sinfuiness in its (ut- come and will turn from it for- ever. ,

In one's experience as a pastor is has seen that happen again ..m..:?..:......

and again. Someone-a parent. a friend, a spiritual leader-ecrm estly desires sinner's salvation. I-its effort to m him from de- structive evil to Christ is rebuiled -sometimes scornfully. sometimes cruelly. Love refiises to allow the other's reception of. his approach to change his attitude or aim, and serves and prays as before. In cases without number. love of this type has won men tochrlst whom nothing else could have touchtd.

This is the law 01 the C10"- Jesus saw it in His Father's heart and lived rays it. To Pharisees fanatical in their agitation for war to the knife against Rome. 10 Sadducees in their greed and com-

slstcd that love was the only qualification for the service which God required oi them. For ex- ample, when He rode on an ass into Jerusalem He offered Himself to His people as the Prince oi Peace. They rejected Him and all Him and all that He Jtood for. and chose instead the war which issued in the destruction of their temple, city and nation. He al- lowed their hatred to come to I head in what they did to the son oi God who came to them with love infinite as His nature. When men see that the Cross is really the world's choice of hatred iii- stead of love they turn from sin to God. . . .

It is this winch makes the Gos- pel the power oi God unto salva- tion. When the story of Cs.vary is told in its simplicity and men see both the love that prompted the sacrifice and the sinfuiness which made the sacrifice neces- sary in which they share, they turn from the evil that destroys to the Christ who claims them for love and life.

when Peter coniessed that Jesus was the Messiah at (:aesarea- Philippi. Jesus said two thins!- First, since that is true, it means the Cross for men. The greatest word in human speech in His statement of that occasion: "The son of Man must suffer." Second. since that is true. It mam! 101' all who would follow the Christ the crucified life. "It an)'0n9 would come after me. let him re- nounce seli, take up his cross and follow me." The Cross here means any instrument (or seli'-cruclf'lx- ion.

”Scii is the only prison that can ever bind the soul:

Love is the only angel that can bid the gates unroii:

And when He comes to call thee. arise. and follow fast,

His way may lie through the darkness. but it leads to-the light at last."

Anticipation describes most spi- ly the inner meaning or the Trans- figuration as the evangelists nar- rate it. Christ enters here and now upon the Dpiendaur which is tobehiswhen he has vs g or -' death. To be sure, there is a pros- pective reference in the story. Those two who keep company with the'Msster on the mountain sym- bolise the greatest in their peo- ple's past. and the voice of heaven warns them not to equate him with them, "out to reverence him as the son. Nevertheless, their con- versation is of "the decease which he is about to accomplish at Jerus- alern."

The reader is allowed to share the profound spiritual experience 55' which Christ i.s fortified for the Illfltflnz which awaits him. More than that, the glory which lies be. yond tragedy does not remain in the future; it moves into the preg. em to meet him, and the radiance of victory shines irom him beforg combat is joined.

The secret of that anticipation oi triumph is revealed to ug in me evangel t ' careful choice of words. e three speak together of i'-193-lvh. not as something he is to endure but as something he is 1,9 accomplish. I-le contemplates a deed to be done where others might see only calamity to be en- dured.

THE 'I'BAVSFIGURA'I'ION

Instead oi submitting to what is in store for him as a victim, hc, subdues it, victor-fashion, to his own God-given purpose. .

when he comes to the cross hi- ascended it as though it were a throne. But those who nailed him to it could not guess that he had done that once before when on the mount of irsnsfiguratlon he lore- saw and accepted -what was to be.

Tire message of Easter is that thu-e is a life which is born out of death, that there is a power of God by which the waste lands of history may blossom again. that earth has no tragedy which hisl wisdom and mercy cannot redeem! The message oi the Transiigura-j tlon is that men need not wait till their hour of trial arrives to prove? that this is so; they can antlcipatei in radiant serenity the conquest of. that from which otherwise they would shrink appalled. i

if there are hours in which the spirit seems lettered by the -flesh. there are also rare, high moments in which it seems to become a veil through which a celestial glory shines. There are the moments in which the soul triumphs over pain and sorrow by accepting them in advance. in which it transfigures what it is fated to endure by mak-

ng out of it a deed of service which it is gladly resolved to accomplish.

Newfoundland, Mr. Nash stated, is introducing pra- vlncial egg grading regulations. which will necessitate trained men to operate the various grading stations now being organized. Previously only Federal regulations were in effect there.
