CALVARY IS TOPIC OF LENTEN SERMON Rejection of God's Love By Man Described as Tragedy By Minister at Service Prayer for Today Life! Love! Living Word Rent veil, revealing God to man. Help, Lord! Lest I should crucify By thought or deed.

Thy love again." Amen. Sponsored by Wilmington Council of Churches. "The Broken Heart" 'of Christ is an aspect of the Crucifixion that is too often overlooked, the Rev. Dr. Peter Marshall, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.

stressed in a sermon at the noon, interdenominational Lenten service at First and Central Presbyterian Church yesterday. He also preached at a similar service at 12:30 p. at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Dr.

Marshall will ba guest preacher at 12:05 p. today at First and Central Church and also at St. Andrew's at 12:30 p. when his subject will be: "Trial by Fire." The great tragedy of Calvary was the rejection'of God's love by most. Dr.

Marshall said in his sermon at First and Central Church. It remains true today he declared, that men will love almost everything but Love itself. They will love money, power, fame, tangible objects and possessions, but they so often will not love God Who is Love. Dr. Marshall said that it may be that people of that kind are really afraid of love because love demands changes love of God demanding often the drastic alteration of one's entire -ife.

At St. Andrew's Church Dr. Marshall gave a dramatic description of the Way of the Cross, stressing that all of the human emotions were represented and expressed there and on Calvary. The crucifixion is ever contemporary, too, he said, in that the attitudes and decisions of the crowd are re-enacted in every day and age and are being re-enacted today. To the question, "Were you there when they cruicified my truth compels the answer by all of us today, "Yes," Dr.

Marshall said. The Rev. Dr. Willard G. Purdy, pastor of First and Central Church, presided at the service there and the Rev.

John E. Large, rector of St. Andrew's, presided at the later service in that church. 30 U-BOATS SUNK By The United Press A CBS broadcast from London said Monday that the Allies sank 30 submarines during March in the Battle of the Atlantic. 1 I short word spring's big news! DIES IN HOSPITAL E.
