His companions (v. 35). He took y with him the II disciples, that they \might share, so far as possible, this '$ sorrow with him. Being a real human feeing he craved sympathy. JHe bade ^ them watch with him. While he knew that he must "tread the wine-press * alone," he had a keen appreciation of sympathy so far as those who loved Mm could give it The behavior of the flfeciples shows the utter limitation of h jman sympathy. 'S. His great sorrow (v. 34). This Is the same as the "cup" in verse 36. It was not primarily the prospect of physical suffering that was crushing Ilim; it was the suffering as a sinhearer?the sensations of his pure soul 7?ming into contact with the awful sin and gnilt of the world. Only pure and refined natures can understand this. ta addition to this, there was the judg#; irent stroke from the holy God as it nwin hie Snr? irictpnd nf flip sin Era aer. God caused the Iniquities of the ; world to strike upon Jesus (II Cor. f:21; Isa. 53:6). II. Christ Praying (w. 35-42). ^ Though he prized human sympathy ht the hour of supreme need, his only wcourse was prayer. The sympathy 5 if our friends is helpful, but in the .;->i great crises of life we can find help 3| inly when we go to God in prayer. "Is my among you afflicted? Let him ||?? pmy" (James 5:13). 1. The first prayer (w. 35?38). (1) p tEs posture ( . 35). He fell on his face, prostrate on the ground. In the 1 hour of our great need we naturally . jpf prbstrate ours&res before God. This ; jS":. - te a becoming posture. (2) His pet!- j \ tlon (v. 36). "Take away this cup \ from me." By the cup is meant his lj| \dfcath on the cross. He did not desire escape the cro6s. No doubt it was K most grievous to him to face its shame, fe but he pressed on, knowing that for ft:-' tips cause he had come into the world (John 12:27, 28; cf. Heb. 2:14). He f;\ grayed that the "hour might pass from Sfc ? hfwi.n thet ia_ that his life mlcht be i prolonged to die on the cross at the appointed time to make atonement for the sins of the irt>rld. The burden was great that it seemed his life would bfe crushed out His prayer was heard jr (Heb. 5:7). When God hears our pfayers he grants the petition desired (I John 5:14-15). Angels ministered to him, giving the necessary grace to endure to the end (Luke 22:43). (3) His resignation (v. 36). His will was hi subjection to the Father. He knew that his death on the cross was the i^Dl of God the Father; for he was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (4) The disciples rebuked (v.

The only way to be able to stand In the time of trial is to be aeatchlng and praying. Jesus knew that although the disciples meant well, they would fall in the trial unless aided from above. The flesh is too weak to stand the strain. Z The second prayer (w. 39, 40). He withdrew the second time from his dfeclples and uttered the same words lit prayer. This was not vain repetition. It is proper to repeat our refcests. Ee found the disciples asleep again. Their shame and confusion was more marked than at first. 3. The third prayer (rv. 41, 42). 1 He uttered the same words in his I tfeftrd prayer (Matt. 26:44). he how f- UXte the disciples t^sleep on and take tfceJr rest, as the honr had come for Ms betrayal. There is such a thing ? m being asleep w4*en wanted and awaking when it la too late. If the 4bcipleshad been praying they would jr:'- atfH hare fallen asleep. Kfndfieae, Cheapest of All.

Senator Miles Poindexter recently issued a statement in New York City criticizing our Mexican policy. The Senator said in part: "There is a general teeling in the part of the country I come from and other parts which I have visited that the Mexican situation has been trifled with by the Administration in Washington and allowed to become unnecessarily acute and complicated through weakness and vaccination. Judging from, the situation today, which could easily have been avoided, the expenditure of men and money involved in our several military expeditions into Mexico during the present Administration has been to no purpose, because they have invariably been withdrawn 'before they have accomplished the purpose for which they were sent. Incidentally, this futile policy has brought the United States into disrepute not only with the Mexicans, but with the peoples of other foreign countries, where, as a result, our prestige as a nation has been seriously impaired. ?

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup.: posed to be incurable. Doctors prescrib- j ed local remedies, and by constantly! failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J.

The re- ! port reads in part as follows: "The examinations for hookworm j disease made among United States j soldiers confirmed in a striking way j the board's experience o< the last few i years, and demonstrated that e*en | light hookworm infections are of j great importance. Judged by the Binet-Simon and other tests, many full-grown soldiers who harbored comparatively few hookworms had the mentality of persons only 12 years of age.
