The Wonder of the Cross

“SINCE A. D. 31, it has been a token of the highest honor. Hence we have the Red Cross, the White Cross, the Victorian Cross, et cetera; until today there is scarcely a patch of coral anywhere in the ocean, large enough for the foot of man, where the wonderful story of the cross has not been told, and its mighty, transforming power felt.”

“THIS wonderful, blood-stained cross, set deep in the unclothed bosom of mother earth, reached its bare head up towards heaven, and stretched its mighty arms outward, as if to say, ‘Look unto me, and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth.’ In it indeed is comprehended the height, and depth, and length, and breadth of the wonderful love of the Master.”
