An authentic account of the birth
and crucifiction of Jesus Christ as
taken from ancient records.
(Continued from last week.)
He threw himself at my feet and
wept most bitterly, and my heart, al­
ready overcharged with grief, we,
though strangers, mutually wept to­
gether. I never saw such a complete
division of feeling, both on the ex­
treme. Those that had »betrayed and
sold him, those that testified against
him and those that said “ Crucify him,
we will have his blood,’’ all slunk off
like cowards.
“ Father," said I to the old man, af­
ter gaining control of my feeling,
“ who are you and what is your re­
quest?"
"1 am Joseph of Araniinthea,” re­
plied he, "and I have come to beg of
you upon my knees permission to bury
Jesus of Nazareth."
"Your prayer is granted" ssid 1,
and ordered Mantius to take some sol­
diers and superintend the interment,
lest it should be profaned. A few day«
after the sepulcher was found empty,
and his disciples published all over the
country that Jesus hud risen from the
dead as he foretold. The last report
created more excitement than the first.
Joseph buried Jesus in his own tomb.
Whether he contemplated his resurec-
tion or intended to build him another 1
cannot tell. When the great excite­
ment about the sepulcher lieing found
empty 1 felt a deeper solicitude than
ever. I sent for lshant, who had
charge of the soldiers that guarded the
sepucher, who stated that about the
beginning of the first watch they saw
a soft and beautiful light over the sep
ulcher and he thought the women had
come to embalm the body of Jesus,
but immediately the whole place was
lighted up and there seemed to be
crowds of the dead in their grave
clothes, and all seemed to he shouting
and filled with ecstacy, while around
and above was the most beautiful mu­
sic he had ever heard; and the whole
air seemed to be full of voices praising
God. At the time the earth seemed to
be reeling and moving so that he turned
sick and he could not stand on his feet
and his senses left him so he did not
know what did occur. He gays he wrs
not and had not been asleep all night,
as the penalty was death to sleep on
duty. I asked him how long the scene
lasted; he didn’t know, but thought
nearly an hour. He did not go to the
sepulcher thereafter, because he was
afraid. He saal he had been interro­
gated by the priests and they wanted
him to say it was an earthquake, and
that they had been asleep, and offered
him money to tell that the disciples
came and stole him; but he saw no
disciples; that he did not know the
body was gone until he was told so;
that some of the priests thought that
Jesus was no man; that he was not a
human being; that he was not the son
of Mary; that he was not the same
that was born of the virgin in Bethle­
hem; that the same person had been
on the earth before with Abraham and
at many time3 and places.
It seems to me if the Jewish theory
be true these conclusions would be
corect for sum up his life it would be
in accord with this man’s life as is
known and testified by both friends
and foes; for the elements were no
more in his hands than the clay in the
hands of the potter. He changed water
into wine; he could change death into
life, diseases into health. He could
calm the sea, still the «term», call up
fish with a silver coin in its mouth.
Now 1 say if he could do all these
things which he did, and many more,
as the Jews all testify; and it was do­
ing these things that created thi3 en­
mity against him. He was not charged
with criminal offenses, nor was he
charged with violating any law nor of
wronging any individual. All these
facts are known to thousands both
friends and foes; so 1 am almost ready
to say, as did Manillas at the cross,
"Truly this is the Son of Goil."
"Now noble sovereign this is as near
I the facts in the case as I can arrive at
' them, and I have taken this pains lo
I innkc the statement full so that you
I may judge of my conduct upon the
j whole matter..
With the promise of faithfulness and
1 good wishes to my noble sovereign,
1 am your most obedient servant,
PONTIUS I’ll.ATK.
