Ninth Hour

by Gilbert Kilpack

Overview

God sets his own stage in his own way and his ways are not after our expectations. Out of the weak things of this world he brings forth the mighty, out of the despised things, the magnificent, out of hidden things the clear and out of darkness light. Out of the shadows of a peasant stable he draws forth the light of the world. Gathering up a dozen words of agonized prayer cried in the night, he turns the course of history. By all current calculations, this still makes nonsense.

"And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour." With wood engravings by Fritz Eichenberg, the author compares the ninth hour Christ spent on the cross to the twentieth century.
