By REV. HERMANN LILIENTHAL, M.A. WE Christians talk much of the cross, it is a question whether we bear it much. We talk of its shamefulness, do we realize it? The cross is not a theory, but a fact, not a poetic speculation but a cruel reality, not an ornament but a mode of daily discipline, not simply a sym- bol to be put upon our altars and placed above our churches, but an experience to be stamped into our lives.
