'Diey were, verily, doing ttie Incredible thing of de manding the death of their King, their Messiah, yea. of the very Son of Ood" (B. L. Olmstead). * L ioaaa laid. ^ Am a Ktag*’ (18:37, 18). Jesus was before Pilate. The Jews had accused him of declaring him self to be king (see Luke 33:3). Pilate demandid. “Art thou King of the Jews?” (v. 33). Jesus did not ansarer directly at first, but declared his kingdom to be “not of this arorld" (v. 38), in- dieating to Pilate that be was deal* Ing arith One who was more than an earthly king.

What have we to say—what have you to say. dear reader, to Christ’s claim to Kingship over your life? Should are not say. “He is not only Mng of the 4ews. he is the King of my life"? D. The Prieeto Said. “We Have Ne Klag" (19:19-16), Pilate, in fleshly pride, taunted Jesus irith his power to determine his fate. He did have much power as the representative of Rome, but power over Jesus be did not have Majestic indeed was the re|4y of the King. In a brief sentence Jesus put Pilate on trial before the Judg ment throne of God. Only because file time had come for the Son'of Ood to die was Pilate permitted to exercise his governmental power (see Rom. 13:1), and he would an swer for his (lecision one day in the presence of God. Of especial Interest to us Just now is the statement of Jesus: “He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” It was the high priest Caiaphas who had that guilt. Yes. and it was the Ugh priests who declared, “We have no king but Caesar,” after Pilate, driven by their cunning threat (v. 13). had sarcastically asked them, “Shall I crucify your king?” (v. 15). The awful declaration which they made then was on behalf of the en tire nation, and declared themselves against Jesus and loyal to the pagan Caesar. No King? Countless are the men and women today who by their re jection of Christ have declared that they would not have him nile over them. And sad but 'true is the fact .that those arho neglect to receive his great .saWatlon hava rejected himi nL Jeeaa Said. “It Is Finished'’ (19:35-30). In his time of greatest anguish Jesus, in an act of tender thought- ftilness. provided for his mother, and gave the beloved disciple John a high place of privilege and re sponsibility. He thus, as be ma^ his last request, brought togethW the two who in all his human rela tionships bad been dosest to his iMart. Ready for the flnal word before be died. Jesua received the refresh ment which qumched his awful thlrat Then crying out arith a loud voice. “It is finished” (Matt. 37:50). he commended bis squl intq the Babson Discusses i Labor And Wage Prospects For 1947 The economic well-being of any country is largely determined by (a) the i amount of food, homes, clothing, recreation, etc., which is produced by Its people; and (b) the way these goods and services are divided up among yon and me and our neighbors. If, therefore, we are to be prosperous in 1947 we must produce. We cannot afford to lose another 110,060.000 man-days through some 6,037 strikes as we did in 1946. STRIKES ON THE WANE It is my belief thatjhe struggle between management and labor has already begun to slough off Of course, there will be continued demands for small wage increases. Where industries cannot afford further basic wage increases there will probably be denoands for cer tain concessions as portal-to-portal pay. paid sick-leave, increased paid holidays, health and welfare funds, etc. .There is no question but that some of these demands are legiti mate. The real- trouble is that many of them are simply camouflage to cover up the real struggle between the unions, owner-management and the government for the control of Industry. Knowing this, both em ployers and employees ought to muster every ounce of courage and common sense in order-to negotiate wisely, not only for their own mutual benefit, but for the ulti mate preservation of our American way of life. hands of the Father (Luke~8:4lT. What was finished? The great r^ ficmptlve work, the work of recoo- eiliatiao and atonement The Lamb at God bad made his great saerifiee for the world—it is this that was completed. Our great Substitute had paid the great ransom prieei, paid U to the . uttermost farfithig. 'It is finished indeed. Others will yet preach and teach, and Jesus win arork through them; as the King e« David's throne his regal week win contimie forever; but the re demptive shedding of his blood once tor an is itaished. and staads as finished forever (Bek T:SI; fitlS, 38; Root. 8:10)'' (M. C B. Lensid). Hallelujah.- what a Savleurl Is ha y«ur Saviour? If not. tun ta him by fiaifii Just new. RSAtONfi FOR LABOR*! CHANOK IN ATTITUDE While strikes will rematai a nuisance, a thorn la tha flash, if you -wiU. of industry throughout 1947, the fact remains that tha in cidence of strikes has tumbled ap preciably siaee November (July 730; September 541; n November 477; December 338; January 191). I attribute this change for the bet ter to: (a) The fact that price controls have been lifted, which allows a greater -latitnde for bargaining; (h) The political complexion has changed considerably in recent months; (c) A warning handwriting is very clearly upon the wall for fu ture strikers. Messrs. Green. Lewis and Murray all have sense enough to know that under present condi tions continued belligerence and ag gression can only lead to public hostility and a possible immediate retaliation from the new congress. In the light of these trends I pre dict that 1947—much to the sur prise of many employers and em- playees alike—may see the fewest critical labor disputes since 1939. WAGE OUTLOOK FOR 1947 As a result of this return to nor malcy there have been during De cember and January some kage in creases for workers in the truck ing, clothing stores, cotton tex tiles, printing, plumbing and ship ping industries. You can expect that where unrest continues, the greatest pressure for ' wage in creases and fringe concessions vrill probably come from the shipping industries, motion pictures, chemi cals, household furnishings, radio and metal fabricating. Reason: The desire of tha unions to share the repntdely high profits in these businesses. Frankly, I am not now too con cerned over flila njdieaval. I be lieve that after onion labor has secured real power, it will find that its employers are better friends than its labor leaders. Labor will not five up collective bargaining and certain other new privileges; but it win listen more to the ad vice of its resident employers than it ever did before. This means that when the liberal interests are faced with fun raaponsibllitlea, they be come much more conservative and demand “checks and balanoas” for thir own protection. THE NEED FOR THE PRACTICE OF BASIC PRINCIPLES Bear in mind these truths, how ever: Three fundamental economic principles must be understood be- ton we can raalixe any true meas ure of prqaperity.
