Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe, wife of Rev. Dr. Radeliffe, pastor of New York Avenue Pres- byterian Church, has arranged to take her Bible class to Mgs. Paul's home tomorrow afternoon to view the exhibit. In the collection is a priest's robe of a Palestine Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is said to be more than 300 years old. Mrs. Paul also has a swaddling cloth. which is said to be more than 500 years old. _ The garments represent those worn in biblical times, from those of the peasants of the fleld to the wealthy clagses. Each one bears a distinetive symbolism, which denotes the posi- }tion in life of the wearer or from what portion of the country or vil- lage to which he might belong. Handmade Embrofdery. Wonderful. hand-made. embroidery is shown in the garments, much of which, Mrs. Paul stated, cannot be duplicated today. The large girdles worn bv the women and men as well, some being six yards long and a yard wide, are to be shown. Thel gowns of great length, which have every appearance of being for night attire, but longer and having sleeves of much breadth and length, as worn by the poorer classes are shown, as well as the goat's and camel's hair cloth shepherd’s coats, which they wore on nights or on cool days. Joseph's coat of many colors is du- | piicated. It contains every color of | the rainbow. The siceves of the gar- | ments are, for the most part, of the winged style, while the coats worn | by the men are made of two pieces, | the lower part being the skirt, which, { with the large sleeves of the gowns of the women, are referred to in the Bible, The city costumes are shown to be more elaborate than those worn by the people of the country. The Bible stories which are taught in the Sun- day schools and churches are illus- tracted through these gowns. In fact, Mrs. Paul stated the Bible is explained through the clothes in the exhibit as nothing else can do it. It was Mme. Mountford's intention | to have the exhibit permanently locat- | ed in Washington, and in 1909 she had it installed for a time at the American University here. | ""Mrs. Paul sald that persons in sev- eral other cities of the country have made efforts to have the exhibit taken to their city, where means would be provided for ‘a permanent exhibit. but she says she desires that it remain in Washington, and is endeavoring to carry out the plan of Mme. Mountford ! in this connection, together with her | own plans. | Within a short time the ndvisory | committee on the erection of a m | seum builaing here and the commil | tee of 100 women to raise the funds ! will be named and the scheme put | under way. 3 | WILL OPFN APRIL 1. |St. James Postal Station to Have “Open Front.” The St. James postal station, to be opened April 1 at the St. James Hotel on lower Pennsylvania avenue, is to | have an “open front" during the | { warm weather. { The whole front of tke office will |be swing out, presenting somewha i the apnearance of some small-town | post offices, according to plans now !under way.

Chri | died for us—Romans, 5 BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Jesus on the cross has been called the most pathetic scene in history. In fact. there is nothing like it in all the ages 1t is the tragedy of all time. While we have in this week's study the story o([ the lowest descent in the infamy of crime and crueity ever recorded in the annals of men, yet this record of hatred { also reveals the greatness of God's grace | and wonders of His lov His eruei- | fixion is the most significant event that ever irred in the history of the| world. The cross was not an afte thought; it wus a_part of God's pro- from the beginning. Christ's! was in accordance with great purpose to commend God's love | toward us, in that while we wers yet sinners, Christ died for us. | The death of J was more than a demonstration of God's love. Christ re-| vealed the passionate purpose of the Heavenly Father by “being wounded for | our transgression, He was bruised for) our Iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and wita h stripes we are healed” The saving si nificance of the cross has given it in th history of the Christian religion its cen- | tral position. Redemption by the biood of the lord has been the v the divine revelation in Him. st lifted up on the cross and seen | faith who proves Himself still the| § and Lord, as well as the power nd wisdom of God unto salvation. This fact has made the crucifixion the cul- mination of the Master's earthly career and the foundation of our faith Paul tells us that “Christ died for our sins, according 1o the Scriptures In the study of the Old Testament, one finds first of all the practice of animal sacrifice in the Hebrew re- ligion and then there is the ideal of the servant of Jehovah, who saves by suffering; and around this Lyp figure gathers, as illustrating the same truth, the saints and heroes of the old dispensation, who suffered for the sake of truth and righteousness on behalf of others, as did these who died to make the world safe for de- mocracy. Sacrifice was not peculiar to the Hebrew natlon, yet with the Jew- ish religion it received the deepest moral significance. When men ap- proached God in worship, they pre- sented a sacrifice, the efficacy of which was variously conceived, but the pur- pose of which was universally recog- nized as the removal of the hinder- ance to fellowship with God, due to sin. Harpack has pointed out that Wherever the Gospel has been preach- «d the sacrifice of animals has ceased, proving that the Cross of Jesus fully satisfies the need that sacrific sought to meet among men. It is this s the study of Jesus on the and important to all, espe- al cross cially to Christians. . In considering the crucifixion, there is value in studying the combined writings of the four evangelists, as well as lhu.ul B photograph ustrates a method more fruitful than in that presented by the several ug‘couqls of the crucifixion. The composite picture loses in distinctness as much as it gains in comprehensiveness. The limit 8% Space calls for the consideration of Matthew's record S0 that we are to have the advantage of taking it alone. His gospel was written to influence the Jews to accept the Lord J’lug as the Messiah and has several distinct references, which are probably due to the purpose of the r\'unge_llsl Matthew hoe two points of distinc- tion. One is that the ‘mocking of the rulers is made more bitter and heart- Jess and the other is that he mentions a series of events that took place in connection with the crucifiction of Jesus—an earthquake, the opening of igraves. the raising of departed saints {iind their appearance to many in {Jerusalem after Christ's resurrection from the grave. It was early on after an illegal trial and an_unjust condemnation by Pilate, that they took Jesus to Go'gotha, the place of the skuli, which name may have originated by the peculiar formation of the limestone knoll on which He crucified, or possibly from the that it was the place of the ution and burial of many crimi- nals. Crucifixion was a death that no Roman could suffer, it was re- served for slaves and criminals, who were not considered worthy of spe- cial consideration. It was this fact that gave the superscription w_nt!en by Pilate a sting and deadly insult to the Jews, whom he hated, espe- ofally the leaders. who had compelled i him against his judgment and wish to order the execution of the Master ‘This is Jesus, the king of the Jew was equivalent to | saying: “This nation cannot pro- duce @ better monarch than this: and this is the fate which all such pre- tenders incur.” “Enduring the cross, despising the shame,” meant more in the Apostolic age than today. The Master's death upon the cross was a real stumbling block to the Jew, in fact to the average en"g’hlnn_fid Is- raelite it was a positive indication that Jesus was not the Messiah. There are several w. of cruci- fixion. Probably Chri when he reached Calvary, was stri pped of His clothing with the ception of a linen cloth about his loins. He was then probably laid upon the cross as it rested upon the ground, His arms were stretched along the cross-beams and His body rested upon a project- ing piece of rough wood. Huge nails | were driven through the _tendm' | palm of each hand and the shrinking eenter of each foot. This process was severe, but when the cross was lifted and dropped into the prepared place, the shock was sure to cause ((!('Itl anguish.

Better than any other it sets forth the real glory of heavenly minded self-sacrifice.
