The Meaning of the Cross By LEONARD A. BARRETT Reference to the Cross as an In­ dispensable factor in the theology of Christendom is not the pur­ pose of this arti­ cle. We speak of the Cross in Its vital relation to our organized social order. Re­ gardless wheth­ er its historicity be Greek, or Ro­ man, or Maltese, the Cross has always been the symbol of suffer­ ing and sacri­ fice. The Cross loses Rs original meaning as a sym­ bol of suffering if it is borne for a self-centered purpose. One may have to bear a cross because of his own stupidity or because of the poison of ancestral blood. He may be compelled to bear a crushing disappointment because of unreal­ ized personal ambitions. Fatigue due to overstrained nerves may play havoc with the psychic centers of a person who struggles hopeless­ ly for fame and glory. But scarcely can these circumstances rightly In­ terpret the spirit of the Cross. The meaning of the Cross so far as serv­ ice and suffering are concerned. Is that It is vicarious. Every great and Important event In history at­ tests this fact. Our American lib­ erty is the direct heritage of vica­ rious service. The period of martyrdom in every nation's history is vocal with the same truth. Lincoln bore the strain of disappointment and suffering not for personal aggrandizement but for the sake of the solidarity of the na tion. In many of our laboratories of scientific research men are lit­ erally offering their lives In sacri­ ficial service to humanity. The leader of a great social move ment which is not personally self­ centered, knows in his own experi­ ence, the meaning of the Cross. Witness Gandhi in India; Kagawa in Japan; and General Booth of the Salvation Army. A few years ago the representative of the Salva­ tion Army in London cabled a New Year's message to th« United States. The message was the one word: “Others.” It is impossible to blend force and love. The spirit of the Cross must prevail if society is to advance. The interpretation of life values revealed through this meaning of the Cross has given us our noblest heritage. The law of force has covered the world with blood and tears. When the meaning of the Cross shall have become centered in our economic systems, in our educational processes, and in all our social life, our inher­ ited civilization will be secure. Under the law of force we fight a losing battle.
