H-M Mktthew 27. , . / • ? Golden Text: Hebrews 12:2. y i Some feel it is morbid to empha- slae the Cross, that it is more wholesome to stress ,the life of •feus than His death, His happi ness than His sorrow, His teachings father than His sacrifice. But there is nothing undesirable in facing the Cross soberly, without mawkish tears. At once we are impressed by its protest, its searching rebuke of our godless society. In the light of the crucifixion we note the black ness of the human heart. The Cross, too, is a supreme reve lation of suffering. We think of Jesus hanging helplessly in un speakable pain, the horrors of Which we can only faintly imagine, enduring a shame so desolating that it is no wohder He felt God had forsaken Him. Now there is comfort in our Mas ter’s pain. In the midst of their .tw an? place. A great array of talent from cial series of lectures on the new curriculum materials and the new est methods of teaching. This series is to stand in a central place in the convention program because it seems to those building the pro gram to meet the most pressing need of Sunday school teachers at the present time. Mr. J. Fred Scholfield, music (iomposer, director and soloist, will direct the singing during the ses sions of the convention. Mr. SChpl- field is considered by many the outstanding director of music a- mong Southern Baptists. He has been associated in church work with Dr. Geo. W. Truett of Dallas, Texas, and Dr. A. C. Dixon, former ly pastor in London, England. As a soloist he has few peers, accord ing to Mr. J. L. Corzine, director of the assembly. Among the specialists for the va rious departments appear the names of the following persons: Miss Blossom Thompson, Bogart, Ga.; Mrs. J. F. Vagts, Oainsville, Fla.; Mrs. Austin Crouch, Nash ville, Tenn.; Miss Robbie Trent, Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. A. J. Foster, Columbia, S. C.; Miss Elizabeth Nuckols, Columbia, B. C.; Dr. W. W. Willian, Jacksonville, FTa.; Sec. Wm. P. Phillips, Nashville, Tenn.; and Mrs. W. L. Blankinship, Atlan ta, Ga. Mr. Ernest Kolb, Orangeburg, S. C., who was re-elected president at the last session of the convention, will preside over this meeting, as sisted by Dr. H. M. Reaves of Harts- yille, and Dr. C. F. Pittman, Green ville, vice-presidents. Other features of the Baptist Summer Assembly and the dates of each follow: State B. Y. P. U. Convention, July 26, 27, 28 and 29. State B. Y. P. U.

The plain truth is that the Cross is “the typical and representative agony of .the world,” as one nove list says of it. / In the Lduvre there is a striking painting of Jesus on the Cross, at the foot of which the artist has placed a desolate figure, veiled in darkness, looking up at the inscription, “He himself has endured greater sufferings.” Note, too,: the complete submis sion of Jesus.'( This is well voiced by Katherine Mansfield, a victim of tuberculosis, who wrote in her Journal: “One must submit. Take it. Be overwhelmed. Accept it fully.” But we rightly think of the Cross as an expression of victory. Miss Mansfield says elsewhere, “I do not want to die without leav ing a record of my belief that suf fering can be overcome.” Exactly! Suffering can be defeated. In one sense, the Cross marks the greatest failure in history, for the Master hangs there defeated and broken. But in a higher sense the Cross is history’s greatest success. For the Lord of glory reigns there as King! POLITICAL CARDS For Auditor I am a candidate, for re-election to the office of County Auditor, subject to the rules of the Demo cratic party.
