Jesus Betrayed, Denied and
t&ndemned.
Lerson for March 12: Mark 14
10—15:20.
Golden Text: Isaiah 53:3.
Seme plead fatalism for Jesus—
saying He had to do what He did
But nothing could more clearly
show the character of Judas than
John 12:4-6; 13:18; 13:27; Mark
14:21. According to John, Juda c
had left the upper room when the
Sacrament was instituted. His
presence would have profaned the
occasion.
Jesus was a singer (verse 26)
and if, as some suppose, He and
Wfe disciples sang the 118 Psalm,
Jesus in verse 27 sang of His own
death. Can you sing about the
sacrifices you are asked to make
for Him?
In Gethsemane, Jesus predicted
Peter’s denial. Farther in the
garden, during the Lord’s agony,
toe chosen three fell asleep. How
so many now be indifferent
to suffering and so little concern
ed about the unsaved? In the
lilgfi priest’s palace, Peter denied
high priest’s palace, Peter thrice
> denied the Lord, and even with
an oath. It is not strange that
when Jesus had turned and look
ed on him, Peter “went out and
wept bitterly.”
\ve iiuu m Pilate the drama Of
a man torn between right and
wrong. Hoping the people would
for the release of Jesus, try
ing to reach their pity when he
presented the scourged and
. thorn-crowned King to them,
washing his hands in claim of his
Innocence, Pilate at last delivered
to crucifixion the One whom the
* governor’s wife called “just” and
in whom Pilate had found no
. fault. What do'you say when the
• claims of Jesus are pressed upon
jou? As in the case of Pilate, so
will it be in yours—not the des-
t tiny of Jesus, but youps, will be
decided in the sentence that you
. pronounce upon Jesus.
kag qf pe^m^ts that the Presi
dential nominee picked by the
Republicans next summer will be
John G. Winant, our ambassador
to Great Britain.
POLLS Lincoln
Of course if I was really anx
ious to win a bag of peanuts, I
might be better off to follow the
polls on the popularity of various
candidates and put my peanuts
on Tom Dewey, Willkie, General
MacArthux or Governor Bricker.
But somehow I feel that, after
supporters of these leading can
didates get hoarse shouting these
names, the convention delegates
will march in a dark horse. And
for no good reason than “a feel
ing in my bones” I expect that
dark horses to be Mr. Winant.
Actually, I know hardly any
thing about the gentleman from
New, Hampshire. Before' picking
hiijv as the winner, I suppose I
should h^ye loqlfeed a lew
facts about him. I do know that
he is highly respected ~ in New
England, that he is apparently
well liked in Great Britain, and it
seems to me that he made some
kind of a deal with the Russians
which won their praise. And I-
vaguely remember a speech he,
made to coal miners in England
in which he showed a deep desire
to improve the social conditions of
the people of the United Nations.
But I think the thing on which
my hunch is based, is Mr. Win-
ant’s physical resemblance to
Abraham Lincoln. He has that
...
homey, typical-American appear
ance which might appeal to a na
tion which is fighting to preserve
democracy and doesn’t want to
take any chance of losing that

vcM-’re discussing ho r SP
lacing or political candidates, it’s
always more fun to predict vic-
tory for an unknown than to
tat on the entrant which every
one expects to win anyway.
I remember, in 1940, before
Wendell Willkie had gained any
prominence as a candidate for
toe Republicans, I happened to
tell a number of people that I
•ffelt it in my bones” that ne
would be the winner. At that
tone no dhe else to whom
talked would concede that he had
a chance—so I naturally got
kick out of it when they finally
had to admit that I had pick 2d ~
winner.
Actually, when I mads inn
prediction, I knew practically
nothing about Mr. Willkie. I had

I have never put much stock ir
hunches, but in an affair like a
political convention, where so
many factors enter in that it is
practically impossible to arrive at
any answer through rhyme or
reason, one might as well go by
Bunches as anything else. So, ju$t

of us have come to think of the
Democratic party as the Roose

But it might be well, if, before
the Democratic convention in
July* we gave a little thought to
other Democratic possibilities. I
have seen plenty of public opin

no attempt to find out who the
people would favor as a Demo

there is no use trying to pick a
