A strange and , unnatnrai gloom enwraps the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings, for the sun is hid¬ ing its glory from the most tragic event in the his- L tory of the world that has just taken place. The spotless Lamb of God hangs noth thorn-evotoned head and nail-pierced hands and feet on the Cross of Calvary. He hangs there in the most e.vcrnciating pain, but the tortures of physical suffering are incomparable to the anguish of being forsaken by His Father, Who in His Holiness must turn His face from the One Who — has taken upon Himself our sin. His aching heart breaks, and toith a mighty cry, “It is finished the beloved Son of God bows His head and dies. The Cross is past; Love ’s redeeming work is done; a rent veil in the temple bespeaks a n a c c e p t e d SACRIFICE.

Calvary On Calvary we ' ve adoring stood, And gazed on that ivont vons cross, Where the holy, spotless Lamb of God Was slain in His love for us; How our hearts have stin eef at that solemn cry, While the sun teas enter apt in night, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani,” Most blessed, most awful sight. Our sins were laid on His sacred head, The curse by nitr Lord teas borne; For us a victim our Saviour bled, And etidured that death of scorn; Himself He gave our poor hearts to vein (W as ever love. Lord, like Thine!) From the paths of folly and shame and sin, And fill them with joy divine. The gates of heaven are opened tvide, At His name all the angels bow; The Son of Man ivho teas crucified Is the King of glory noiv. We love to look up and behold Him there. The Lamb for His chosen slain; And soon shall His saijits all His glories share, With their Head and their Lord shall reign. j. G. Deck
