Luke 22:42; THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--Late Thursday' evening, and Friday, April b and 6, A.D, 80, / ' Place.--The Garden of Gethse- - mane, at the foot 'of the western slope of the Mount of Olives, and the palace of Pontius Pilate, in Jerusalem, With His Three Disciples 82, "And they came unto a place which was named Gethse- mane: and he saith unto his dis- ciples, sit ye here while I pray. 83(a). And he taketh with him Peter and James and John," Our Lord took, with him on this oc. casion His three most intimate disciples, Peter, James and John, yearning for, as a true man, the closest communion of trusted fol- Jowers, and the helpfillness that comes from a consciousness of loved ones being near, 83(b). "And began to be greatly amazed, and sorely troub. led." Jesus was now going through an experience unlike that of anything He had ever known. It was the sorrow of a stranger in a strange land, and homesick grief, The Sorrow 84, "And he saith unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch." The distress is so great that it breaks forth in words from Jesus' lips. It is his soul grief, which animates his body, that is in such deep distress; just as distress takes hold also of our soul, But they are all too shal- low who think that the rapid ap- proach of physical suffering and death braught on this agony in Jesus'. soul. Jesus now orders the three disciples to stay where they are, Alas, even this little comfort was denied him, for the three slept. The battle that Jesus fights in this hour he must of necessity. fight alone. He alone must now will 'to lay down his life. The Token 44. "Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsover 1 shall kiss, that ia he: take him, and lead him away safely." A sign was not neces sary as Jesus was a well-known figure but in the darkness and confusion there was a possibility of escape and there was a desire to make everything sure. The sign given by Judas had nothing unusual about it, but was the or- dinary form of salute. Judas, having once entered into_this af- fair, didn't want a mistake made of it. The Kiss of Judas Many different 'reasons have been offered why Judas betrayed our Lord. He must have betrayed him, fundamentally, willing to give me, and 1 will de- liver him unto you? (Matt, 26: 15) was his first question. One néed not stumble at the fact that the amount they gave him was a pitiful sum--when a man becomes & miger, no sum is too small to covet, 46. "And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him." Judas could have told these men where Jesus might be found, but instead he stooped to use as an instrument of betrayal the most' affectionate token of greeting known among people, the kiss, 46, "And they laid hands on him, and took him." The soldiers were able to take the Lord only because He did not exercise His | own power in resisting them, The Circmstances 1, "And straightway . in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2. And Pilate asked him, 'Art Thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith-unto-him, Thou sayest."" The phrase "Thou sayest! was a Jewish form of as. Pilate's Question 8. "And the. ehief priests ac- cused him of many things, And Pilate again asked him, paying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. Bb. But Jesus no more ans. wered anything; insémuch that' Pilate marvelled." The silence of Jesus speaks eloquently against Pilate. Why does Pilate with his uestion and exclamation try #0 ift his responsibility. upon Jesus? It is the duty of this Roman judge either to silence all these angry accusations or to ex amine thé. It i4 because of his cowardice that he does not en- force his verdict of innocence. Jesus Is Silent The silence of Jesus is directed against the Jews, expressing his- eontempt for their accusations.

Iron and steel. * . Absolutely shorn of gadgets, it performed its work 'well and that was to supply heat. In thousands of homes throughout Montreal, it was the only means of supplying warmth to a household. It was economical in operation, but in appearance an eyesore, for it was / Just an enlarged fron stovepipe' about three feet high, lined with firebrick and about two feet in ° diameter. It boasted of no grate, had a small aperture at the bot- tom for cleaning out ashes and was fed fuel from the top. It burned everything and anything to a cinder and served its purpose admirably while 'the wintry blasts toppled the thermometer to 20 or 30 degrees below zero. No More Decorations Some years ago, manufacturers bent on improving thelr wares put out some new models. They dressed them up to look like vle- trolas © and radios, gave them bright colored casings, and trim- med them with nickle plated fit. tings Installed grates which re- duced efficiency. They even fitted them with oil-burning equipment and brought them thoroughly up to date, The new stoves sold, they appealed to the eye of the thrifty French Canadian house- holder. But that's all over now, for the Munitions and Supply Department on behalf of C. D. Howe, Canada's American born minister, 'has de- creed that on and after April 16 no new stoves other than approv- ed models may be manufactured and in the words of Alan H.

Bullt for ut- flity rather than for appearance, the new models will be cooking and heating machines and nothing more." SCOUTING . . .
