The Crucifixion

Between two thieves.

Crucifixion was terrible and dis-ice ful enough, but, that there might be no doubt about the disgracefulness of his suffering, they hung him between two thieves, as though he were the head and chief of all evil doers.

e he hung through the long hours, in awful agony of body, and of soul and spirit. For not only was he thus set forth as the despised and representatives from various circles n Chungking, gathered in a publicity meeting for the cause of resistance on Wednesday, says a message to the *Sin Wan Pao." After the meeting, the aged participants sent a message to Mr. Lin Sen and General Chiang Kai-shek to pay their respects and dispatched a telegram to the Pacification Commissioner for Szechuen and Gikang, General Teng Hsi-hou, urging him to mobilize more troops to the front.
