1. The place (r 32). lie garden of

2. 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.
He singled out Peter, since he I
lad been the moat conspicuous in proejalming
his loyalty (John 13:38).
Through he would go with him to death,

to the disciples (v. 38).
Watch and pray, lest ye enter into
tdBbptatfon." 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.

SENATOR POINDEXTER
CRITICIZES MEXICAN POLICY
New York, Dec. 1.?U. S. 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

Theory is a vine from which facts
and of the work being done for the;
eradication of the disease. 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. The mentality of 10,000
white men at Camp Travis
who harbored the disease was about
33 per cent below normal. Negroes
were inffec-ted quite as frequently a*
whites, but^they appeared to be relatively
immune to the serious effects

or the same reduction in mentality."
While the report's discussion of
hookworm still presents the disease
as a menace to millions of persons,
encouraging results of campaigns
against it are related.
