This medieval struct s o th 'places ot the world. Altars, shrines, pictures are 'ev'erywhere'f u than anything else are myriads of crosses. Wooden, stone, silver, , ey hang on walls, are built into the floor, and are painted' on the ceiling. The same hot wlnds which blew over Isaiah when he told ot the suffering 0ne,dnow blow over the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its' hundreds of as- sorte crosses. . ' Jerusalem has numberless crosses. Liberally sprinkled between the Crescent and the Star of David stand crosses for almost every sect and tongue ogdaeailent Christianity--Greek, Romain, Maltese, Russian, Copt, Armenian-L ut., every ., ,,, 4 .5 is ig ew c M., one of these crosses, statin? jaggedly into the sky, represents nqthingwbut death, nothing but the memory o 'a life. M I They will never tell theLNear,,East'mI erbisfrway to live which tar i transcends its narrow, bigoted life-patterns. Thejcrosses ot Jerusalem will never X - u tell the world of Jews andgrdoslegverywhere that He whom all men should 4 g worship lives to redeem mankindv . T But you alrdentfieflots' who make the gospel of Jesus Christ your life 1 L ,. crusade, Qiould' you take the Christ to Jerusalem, who can tell but what the 1, '43 Christiari who worships a dead memory, the Moslem, and the Jew, might see the ll - .... ' true significance of resurrected Lite after the cross? ,Ilhfi Q Then the crosses of Jerusalem will represent not death, but Life. Then they ' will mark not a memory, but a slte where one who was dead is alive again. Then il the crosses will reach out to a world: of Jews and Moslems---in the Orient, in Af- i 1 rica, in starving Europe, and in America. From Jerusalem to New York they vwille' I ' me reach out, not as the shrines of a decadent religion, but as the sign of victory, the i, , eternal conquest ot death. Then the hot wind which now blows through the , 'Ill , if tangled arms of a forest of crosses in Jerusalem will blow-in the ta,cer 6F ng V by men and women who will leave the Star of David 'and th,e,ACE:yentf for the li, A , living Christ of the Cross.

JW U' Wi. wi i DAVID was an educated young Indian, prosperous in his own business, who was restlessly un- happy in his way of life. Searching for improve- ment, he inquired! in Bombay and even sought a solution across the country in Calcutta. His in- evitable answer was the doubtful consolation that he was living a good life. Finally he attempted suicide by opium poisoning. David ate his sweet potion slowly as he rode northward on a train. Discovered unconscious at the railroad station in the city where a missionary had his headquarters, David was brought by a policeman to the mission compound. There he found our Lord as his Savior. After studying in a Bible school he was baptized. Although never a full-time worker, he still con- tinues with his Christian wife to be a faithful, earnest, and satisfied Christian.
