The Obedience of the Disciples (v. 13). They did not stop to ques tion the sanity of the command but like true disciple^ obeyed. Jesus, be cause He Is omniscient, knew Just how the matter would turn out. II. The Passover Eaten (vv. 14-18). 1. By Whom (v. 14) ? Those who sat down to this last Passover feast were the Master and the Twelve Apostles. 2. H!s Words Unto Them (vv. 15-1S). . (1) ”1 have desired to eat thls.pass- over with you before I suffer.” How anxious He was to show them the meaning of the passion through which He was to go; also He craved their human sympathy as He passed through this trying ordeal. (2) “I will aot any more eat there of. until It be fulfilled la lt,f> kingdom of God.” His death was the antltypi- cal fulfillment of the passover meal. He looked forward to that time when the process of redemption would have been completed and a perfect union between the disciples and the Lord would be consummated. (3) ‘Take this cup and divide It among yourselves.’’ The disciples were now partaking of that symbol of His blood. He assured theta that He would not again drink of the fruit of the vine nntil the kingdom of God should come. Drinking anew In the kingdom does not mean that In heaven this service will be renewed, but thst this was symbolic of the heavenly reality. III.

In order to get benefit from physical bread It Is necessary to receive it. In order to get benefit from Christ one must receive Him. 2. The Cup, a Symbol of Christ’s Blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of the atonement which was made by the shedding of His blood on the cross. He said: ‘This cup Is the new tes tament In My blood which was shed for yon,” Indicating that each one must personally accept the atonement made by the shedding of His blood. IV. Ths Wicked Behaviour at the Feaet (vv. 21-27). 1. The Treachery of Judas (vv. 21-23). (1) The time of its manifestation (v. 21). It was while they were eat ing the last passover that Jesus made the announcement of the betrayal. Perhaps the reason why this feast was disturbed by such an announcement was that Judas might be given an op portunity at thla last moment to re pent. (2) The betrayal was by the deter minate counsel of God (v. 22—cf. Acts 2 :23). Nothing takes place by chance. Even the evil, sinful sets of men come within the permissive providence of God. but this does not lessen the guilt, for Jesus says: “Woe unto the maa by whom He Is betrayed.” (3) Sorrowful question (v. 23). The disciples did not seem to suspect one another, but made the question a per someone. r 2. Selfish Ambition of the Disciples (w. 24-27). Ia this tragic hour the disciples were so concerned with the thought of honorable position that they were striving among themselves as to who should he greatest V.

Steps Out of Office After Being Ar rested On Charge of Accept ing Bribe. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 12.—Jonathan M. Davis, “dirt farmer” governor of Kansas, stepped out of office today at the end of a turbelent two year term and a few hours after his arrest on a charge of accepting a $1,250 bribe for a pardon.

Pollman, former banker and convicted forger. Both were released on bond of $1,000. Their preliminary hearing was set for January 23. Governor Davis militantly met the issue. He went to court to face the accusation, made bond, wrote a letter to the presiding officers of the legis lature demanding “a full and complete investigation” of hia clemency record and then carried through his part in the inauguration ceremonies, turning over his office to the incoming gov ernor, Ben S. Paulen, Rcpublican^ .^,, stand •befbre you today, the only governor of Kansas ever placed under arrest while in office,” Gov. Davis told the inaugural crowd that packed the city auditorium. “I have committed ho crime! 1 have not violated the path of office I took two years ago, have neither solicited noy accepted a bribe. Throughout my official conduct I have lent an ear to the poor and the downtrodden. The greater portion of the paroles grant ed have been cases in which the im prisonment of a man was causing oth ers to suffer even more than himself. “A great ne /spaper in search of prestige and influence has sought to besmirch me. They have invaded 'the sanctity of my home and sought to solicit the efforts of criminals and those of low character. The people of Kansas will resent such attempts.” The audience appluaded long as the governor finished his address with a hearty word of welcome to his successor.
