Noah Remedy Co., Richmond, Va, THE DARK GETHSEMANE HOUR Matthew 26:36-40?November 20 "The tSon ol Uan Is bttrayed into the hands , ot rtwier?."-F. fS. HFTER the Master and bis disci ples, as Jews, had celebrated the Passover Supper and after be had subsequently instituted the Me morial of his death with the bread and the cup. and after Judas bad gone out to betray him. Jesus and the remain ing eleven left the upper room in Jeru salem, crossed the city to the gate and thence crossed the Valley Kedron and ascended the sloping side of Mt. Olivet toward the Garden of Gethsemane. The word Gethsemane slgui?es oil press. Tradition has it that this Gar den belonged to the family of which the Apostles John and James were members, and that for this reason the Lord and bis disciples were privileged to feel themselves at home there. St. Mark, the writer of one of the Gos pels, but not one of the Apostles. Is credited with having been a member of the same family. One of the ac counts of the arrest of the Master tells that amongst those who followed after hin? was a young man wrapped with a sheet and who fled naked when some members of the baud attempted to lay hold of him. That youni; man. tradi tion says, years afterwards was known as St Mark. The Journey to Gothsemans This was the most memorable night of the Master's experience. Ee knew perfectly the meaning of every feature of the Passover. He knew that he was the Lamb of God. antityplcally. whose death was to be accomplished on the following day by crucifixion. Yet his thoughts were for bis dear disciples He must give them final words of en couragement and Instruction. And so he did. Three chapters of St John's Gospel record the Incidents of the in tervening time between the leaving of the upper room and the arriving at Gethsemane, the place of the oil-press "And Judas also, who-betrayed him. knew the place, for Jesus oftrimes re sorted thither with his disciples" (.lohn vili. 2). In St. John xiv the Master told his disciples about the place he would go to prepare for them, but thai he would send the Spirit of Truth to be their Comforter and It would show them things to come. Iu the fifteenth chapter he gave them the parable of the Vine and the Branches >ind as sured them that no longer should they be servants, but friends. "For all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." In tLv sixteenth chapter be explained to them that persecutions must be expected, if they would share his sufferings and be prepared to share his glory. A little while and they would not see him; then again a little while and they would see him. The entire pe riod of his absence, from the Divine standpoint, as compared to eternity, would be but a little while. Then, by virtue of the resurrection "change." they would see him. . becaus*? made like him. "In the world ye shall haye tribulation: but be of good cheer: 1 have overcome the world" "These things I have given unto you that in me ye' might have peace." in the 17th chapter is recorded his wouderful ffi 7TER SUPPER.

His disciples and followers loved him deurly. Still he was alone., he cause be alone had been begotten of the bol3' Spirit. His followers could not feel so blessed nor be spirit-begotten until after his sucrifk-e bad been fin ished nor until he would appear iu the presence of God for them to apply his merit Imputed!; to them, to permit them to join with hira saerlflciatly in the, sufferings of this present time, that tbey might share with him also in the glories to follow. St. Peter, referring to the foregoing experience of our Lord, declares that he offered up strong crying and tparx unto him that wus able to save him from death and was beard In respect to that whlcb he feared. Why did he fear? Do not all humanity face deurh. and some of them with great courage and some with bravado? Ab. there is a vast difference between the Master's standpoint and ours as respects death We were born dying. We never knew perfect life. We have always known that there is no escape from death. It ?//S?OUU> >? NOT WATCH VV7TH ME ONE H0UR.1 WATCH ANP PFJ!.Y,.LESTYE ENTERtEMPT?TTOHi was different with him. Fils experi ences on tin? spirit prune before com ing into the world were all In asso ciation with life, perfection of life. "In him was life"?uncouruminuted, because he was holy, harmless, unde filed and separate from sinners: his life came not from Adam. Hp knew that in his perfection he had a right to life, if he would live In perfect accordance with the Divine requirements. But he knew also that by special Covenant wftli God. "a Covenant by sacrifice.*' be had agreed to lhe surrender of all his earthly rights and to allow his life to be taken from bim. The Father bad promised him a great reward of glory, honor and Immortality through resurrection from the dead, but this was dependent upon his absolute obedience In every particular?In word, in thought, in deed. The question was. Had be been absolutely loyal to God in every partic ular? If not death would mean to him an eternal extinction of being, not only the loss of heavenly glory promised as a reward, but the loss of everything. Can we wonder that he did not un derstand? The hour seemed so dark, and be said. "My soul is exceeding sorrowful." He knew that be was to die. He knew that death was neces sary. But here. now. looming up be fore him on the morrow was a shame ful execution as*a blasphemer, as a criminal, as a violator of Divine law. Could it be possible that iu anything, even slightly, he had taken to himself the honor due to the Father? Could It be possible that in any dcrrcp he bad held back, even in his miud. from full obedience to the Father's will? Did this crucifixion as a crimlual pos sibly mean the loss of Divine favor? Was it necessary that he should die thus? Might nor this cup of ignominy pass? So he prayed in a great ugouy. And although the older Greek manu scripts do not contain the statement that be sweat great drops of blood, medical science tolls us that such an experience would uol have been at all Impossible in a nervous, strained, mental agony. Bui we note the beau tiful simplicity of tue statement with whlcb his prayer concluded?"Never theless, my Father, not my will, but thy will, be done." How childlike and beautiful the faith and trust, even amidst strenuous agitation] St Faul says that he was heard In the thing whlcb he feared. How? God's answer came by angelic hands. An angel appeared and minis tered to aim?ministered to bis neces sity. "Are they uot nil ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation?" (He brews i. 14.) We are not Informed in what words this benvetily ministry was expressed to the Master in- his lowliness and sorrow, but we do kuow that it must have been with full as surance of the Heavenly Father's fa vor and sympathy and love. He was beard in respect to the things which he feared. He received the assurance that he was well-pleasing to the Fa ther: thai he bad oet-n faithful to bis Covenant, and that he would have the resurrection promised. "Behold the Lamb of God" From that moment onward the Mas ter was the calmest of all who bad any association with the great events of that night and the following day Officers, sifvanrs. Saubedriii. priests. Herod and his men ??1 war. Pilate and bis soldiers, und the shouting rubble? all were excited, all were distressed Jesus only was calm.

Judas the Ungrateful Apostate The world to full of sadly disap pointing characters. In many things we all fail. Seitishuess. meanness, perversity, pride, etc.. mark the hu man family most woefully. But withal can anyone find anything more reprehensible than the iugruie who would bet ray. his best friend? The world is.of one opinion respect ing such characters as that of Judas. And although he is a uoted example he is by uo means an exception; there are many. Some of them live today, j But whoever can see the meanness of I such a disposition with a reasonably ] good focus will surely be saved from manifesting such a character, however meun might be his disposition. The mun who could sell bis Master for thir ty pieces of silver is Justly In contempt j with all humanity. Nor was It merely the thirty pieces that influenced the In grate. Rather It was pride. He had thought to be associated with The Mas ter in an earthly throne. He had set 1 bis faith upon this expectation. Now that same Master explained more fully that the throne was not yet in sigh;: that It belongs to an age to follow this, and was to be given only to those who should prove' themselves loyal and faithful unto death. In the mind of Judas the matter took not the wisest and best way. Holding the Great Teacher In contempt, the deceived one probably intended that the delivery should be merely a temporary one?a lesson to the Master not to talk that way. not to carry matters too far?an Incentive to him. compelling him to exert his power for the resistance of those who sought his life and thus. In exalting himself, make good to his disciples the share In the Kingdom which he had promised or. falling of this, to wreck the entire project. Alas, the love of money, the love of power puff up and make delirious some who become Intoxicated with ambition. How necessary that all the Lord's fol lowers remember the message. "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted and he that exalteth himself shall be abased!" Humble yourselves, there fore, under the mighty hand of God. that he may exalt you In due time" (I Peter v.
