Lesson for March 21 JOHN’S PICTURE OF THE TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION Great Father, Great Son D ARELY does a great father ^ transmit his genius to his son. °*2t the Hopkinsons of Philadelphia were exceptions to that rule. Francis Hopkinson, born in 1737, was the first scholar entered at the University of Pennsylvania (then the College of Philadelphia) and was graduated from its first class. He held several positions of. im portance in Penn’s colony, then moved to New Jersey. There he was a member of the provincial council until he was elected to the Continental congress from New Jer sey and thus became one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence. But other facts make him more notable than almost any of the other 55 signers of that docu ment. He wrote an allegory in which he recounted the wrongs of the colo nies and did much to fan the spirit of revolution. He wrote the famous song “The Battle of the Kegs” satirizing the British scare over an attempt to blow up their ships with a crude submarine invented by a certain David Bushnell, and this song became the favorite of Wash ington’s soldiers. But most important is the fact that evidence exists which shows that he was the designer of the first Stars and Stripes as our national flag (the Betsy Ross tradition to the contrary notwithstanding) and that he had a hand in designing the first Great Seal of this nation. His son, Joseph Hopkinson, born in 1770, followed closely in his fa ther’s footsteps. He also was grad uated from the University of Penn sylvania, studied law and held sev eral positions in the state and fed eral government. He helped found the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, served as its president for many years and was vice-president of the American Philosophical soci ety which his father had helped found. But he is best remembered for a song which he wrote—thus emulat ing his father again. It was “Hail Columbia” which was the only na tional song of this republic until Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner.” lACKIOM Vlttl . . .

C First “America’s Sweetheart” T ONG before a popular movie ac- tress was given the title of “America’s Sweetheart” there was another. Ask any man of fifty years or upwards and he will tell you her name. It was Annie Oakley. She was bom in a log cabin In Darke county, Ohio, in 1865 and her full name was Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee. Her lather died when she was six and one of the few posses sions which he left was a Kentucky long rifle. Little Anne, who was something of a tomboy, soon began using this weapon to help fill the family larder with quail, squirrels and rabbits. She became an un usual markswoman and the fame cf her skill spread to Cincinnati where hotel keepers had been buy ing the game which she killed. When she was fifteen a noted sharpshooter named Frank E. But ler came to Cincinnati. He was ac customed to issue a challenge to all comers in a shooting match. This challenge was taken up by one of Anne’s hotel-keeping patrons who urged her to shoot against Butler. The girl not only, won the match but she won Butler’s heart as well and a year or so later they were mar ried. She began taking part in her husband’s shooting act and, being a skilled showman, he pushed her more and more into the limelight and kept himself more and more in the background. Then “Buffalo Bill” Cody or* ganized his Wild West show and in 1885 the “Butler and Oakley” act joined it. But it wasn’t long until the second half of the act was the whole act and as Annie Oakley she started on the career which made her the idol of Young America. “Little Sure Shot” she was named by the famous chief, Sitting Bull, when he went out with Buffalo Bill’s show and as “Little Sure Shot” she became famous, not only through out America but all over Europe as well. When Cody took his show abroad her marksmanship thrilled every one who saw it—and that included dukes, princes and kings. One of her stunts was to use play ing cards as targets and these cards, punctured by her bullets, be came treasured scuvenirs. In those days showmen who handed out free passes always punched a hole or two in them, thus saving a mis count when the day’s proceeds were counted. Once a ba^pball magnate looked at a card which had been so thoroughly perforated that little was left. “Huh! Looks like Annie Oakley’s shot at it!” he grunted. And from that day free passes be came “Annie Oakleys.” The name of' this remarkable woman whose career came to an end in 1926 is thus perpetuated in our “slanguage.” But in the hearta of thousands- of Americans today, the boy* of yesteryear, it is en shrined as “America’s Sweetheart.’* Smart Knit Blouse and Skirt LESSON TEXT — John IS*. 44.

PRIMARY TOPIC — When Jesui Died for Ua. JUNIOR TOPIC — On a Bin Par Away. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Christ’s Qrosa and Its Meaning for Ms. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christ’■ Croat and Mina. - The cx oss is accepted throughout the wond as the emblem of the Christ 1 mi church. The death of the Son of God for the sins of the world is a focal point not only in history but in theology. It is for this reason that we give so much study to the cross and its meaning. . Calvary comes between Christmas and Easter. Jesus came as the Babe of Bethlehem—God incarnate in the flesh. He died for you and me. Death could not hold him. He arose in victory. He is now at the Father’s right hand, an Advocate with the Father. He is coming again. Each statement is an in dispensable truth! The assigned text gives only a portion of the moving account of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus but suffices to bring before us in graphic contrast four pictures— I. Pilate—Convinced but Afraid. Pilate was in a most difficult posi tion. To turn one way meant to in cur the wrath of the Jews he gov erned. To turn the other meant that he would be accused of disloyalty to Rome. He was convinced that Jesus was innocent, but was afraid to follow his own convictions. Many there are who follow in his steps. They know what they ought to do with Jesus, but fear the com ments of friends or loss of earthly advantafe, and take their place with PiLte. II. The Jews—Hostile and Hard hearted. The common people heard Jesus gladly. The* loved him and would have followed him. But the Jewish leaders, and those whom they had misled, hated him with malicious hatred. They are typical of those who In our day have long and repeatedly rejected the claims of the Lord Jesus on their lives. They have hardened their hearts against him until they have become embittered. Paul says, “They received not the love of the truth that they might be saved, and for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (II These. Let those who have long rejected the Saviour be warned lest they also crucify afresh the Son of God. III. The Disciples—Remembered by the Saviour. The thoughtful tenderness of Jesus in providing for his mother even in his own hour of deep suffering, moves upon our hearts and urges us to follow his example. This is a hard world; let the followers of Jesus be tender and kind. In thus caring for his mother, Jesus gives thought also to the new responsibility of the disciple “whom he loved.” What a sacred and re sponsible trust, but is it not true that we also are called and com missioned by him? IV. Jesus—The Sari oar. To see the guiltless, spotless Son of God hung on the cross in propitia tion for our sins is to bring us to our knees to cry as did Martin Luther, “For me, for me!** Majestic in the assurance that he laid down his own life, he walks as a King in the midst of all the con fusion round about him. He was 1. Silent. His enemies made great hue and cry against him. Pilate questioned him again and again. Few were the words he spoke, but fraught with more meaning than all the words of men. 2. Strong. All through his life and in his death one is impressed by his strength. All too often sacred art, drawing on its imagination, presents our Lord as an effeminate weakling. No; he was and is glor iously strong. 3. Sympathetic. We have already dwelt on his tender love for his mother. Gentleness is always an attribute of strength, not of weak ness. . 4. The Saviour. When he cried “It is finished,” he did so in no weak submission to an inevitable death. No; he had wrought out re demption, a complete and finished redemption for you and for me. 16-18 and 38-40; an illustration of the blouse and of all stitches used; material requirements. .
