THE REASON' FOR GOOD FRIDAY
' OBSERVANCE. ;
(By Rev. Upton H. Gibbs.) .
To the majoority.of Christians Good
Friday is the most solemn day of the
year. In the worr' of the ancient
creed, Christlass declare their belief
"In one Lord,, Jesus' Christ, the only
begotten Son of. Got begotten of His
Father before all worlds, pod of God,
' Light of Light, Very God of Very God,
begotten not made; Being of one sub
stance with the Fatheri by whom all
Wnr r made:. Who for .us men
and our salvation came down from
heaven and was Incarnate by the Holy
Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was
made man; and was crucified also for.
nqtundcr Pontius Pilate, He suffered
and was burle'd.".
Now it will be seen from this state
ment that He who was crucified, who
suffered and was burled, was no ordi
nary Man. In the first place In the
strongest possible language He is de
clared to be God and eternaljy exist
ing as God. This Is the first point to
graiip, the second is that He who was
and is God took upon him our human
nature, being born Into this world of
& human mother, the Virgin Mary, but
not by means of a hitman father for
He was incarnate by the Holy Ghost.
Thus he stands out as the God-Man
who is perfect God and perfect Man.
His human nature being united in Him
to His Deity in an indissoluble un
ion. His human nature must be- of.
representative character, not the hu
man nature of a single individual, but
of the whole of humanity so that what
evr He does must affect the whole hu
man
Christians believe that on account of
gin the whole human race 1b under
the condemnation of spiritual death,
for thi' "wayes of sin is death.' And
this decree not being atbftrary but the
inevitable consequent cannot be re
scinded, otherwise the law of vlrtua
which is the law of our nature', would
be rendered nugato'y. . The only way
by which pardon can be Justly grunt-.
ed is by establlihlu ami uph-ihllu
this law of virtue, V tho pcnalt for
its violation being paid in full.
No mere man could effect this, and
so God did It In the manner stated in
the creed. Jesus Christ by his abso
lutely sinless life and death establish
ed the law of virtue in our human na
ture. Pardon, then, can be freely ex
tended. to all who will accept it under,
the conditions laid, down for its be
stowal.: -:
This , is what Christians believe
and the reason why the death of Christ
has such -a hold on them and why
they, keep the day appointed for its
commemoration with such solemnity,
un tms tmy lue uevout Curiaiiaii es
pecially beholds Christ crucified and
In faith hears the Voice of God speak
ing to him: ' ' '.- ' .' ;-: . ' '

We note In a menu printed in a Chi

restless appetite. . They are "Baked
Bean Rarebit" and "Rhubarb Baked
en Casserole." There are no specifics
tlons as to how they are prepared and
this was ' omitted because It was
thought that nobody would care to try
them. The nam? is enough.
When n effort is made to rise abova
the baked bean itself or the rhubarb
sauce. It is In vain. The former is a
permanent standby, : while the latter,
in the early spring, comes like a shaft
of sunlight out of a cloudy sky; but
en casserole or a bean rarebit pass
on, pass on.

EX-CHAM.
(Denver Times.)
A new field of employment seems to
have opened up for famous athletes
after they have fallen into popular
indifference. King George of Eng
land, who has gone into training for
his coronation, has created Eugene
Sandow, who was reputed to be the
strongest man In the world, to be his
majesty's tralner-ln-chief or lord high
keeper of the dumb bells something
of that sort. At any rate, Mr. Sandow
used to make tours of England and
America, displaying his strength and
his patented dumb bells, until peo
ple grew tired of seeing him. He has
found an excellent place of retire
ment. Now, if some other ruler, Pres
ident Diaz, for example, would only
off6r employment of this kind to a
certain Mr. Johnson, who has become
so much of a nuisance in America
that he has been sent to Jail, what a
happy solution : there . would be to
many difficulties. Under the direction
of Mr. Johnson, President Diaz might
give the insurrectos a knockout blow.
