In the last lesson were contained the last words of the Savior to the disciples, while he was on earth, and in that he gave them many instruc tions which they should have known before, for the Master had all along told that He had come fourth from God and must return to God. and His mission here was for the redemp tion of the world.

So great was' the weight of the sins of the world, those that had died, those who lived at that time, and those who were crucifying him then and the Fins of all who should come after, even un til now. and to the last person who should inhabit the world, even the whole human race, that as he wrest led in prayer he sweat great drops of blood. After a season in prayer He re turned to the disciples and found them all asleep. Waking them He raid, particularly to Peter, "Could not you watch with me one hour." Then after charging them to watch again He went and once more to pray and returned only to find them fast asleep. The third time He went and prayed and returned to find them asleeep whereupon He said, "Sleep on it is finished." The struggle was over. He was resigned to the Father's will. Then He said arise, thpy are at hand which would betray Me. Then came a crowd of people from Jeru salem, with swords, spears and other arms, and with Judas kcariot, who kissed Jesus, saying "Hail, Master." Jesus rebuked him with the query, "Dost thou betray the Son of God with a kiss." Peter having been arouted and realizing that the Jews aoucht to take the Master to crusify Him, drew his sword and the fight in nis race was at us neignts, ne struck out and the ore closest was a servant of Malchus. and the first stroke scverad an ear. The Master said. "held, that is enough." He that fisrhtest with the sword stall perish by the sword, and reaching out touch ed the ear of the wounded man and healed it instantly. Then was Christ lead away to the city and all the disciples scattered, but Peter and an other disciple followed and entered into the court of the house of Annas, warmed themselves by the fire which was builded in the court of the house. Then a damsel with a tapering finger, and with scorn in her voice said un to Peter, "Thoa wert with them," and Peter denied, this happened three times and on the third tirr with an oath. Turning by a power which he could not resist Peter looked on the Master, who also looked reproach fully on Peter, and Peter knew that the Lord had known more abont him than he had himself, and went out into cuter darkness and wept bit terly. When a baby cries, it does not add much to our comfort, and when women weep, it sometimes greatly disarranges things, and many is the time which she uses ,th i weapon to gain her purpose. But when strong rugged hardened men weep, it is like breaking up the very foundations of one's nature, so great is the paroxysms. While this was intense suffering and it must needs be that Peter must suffer for the sake of the Christ which had come for the salvation of the world, his sufferings were nothing as compared with the" suffering of the Master for the sake of the world. There was a niacK picture mai, night, one without hope, either here or in the world to come. Judaa Iscariot had sold the MastJ ter for thirty pieces of silver, so great j was his desire for money, and when he saw that he had sold the Lord of Life and Death, the Saviour of the, Work, the Very Christ the Son of God.' he took the blood stained money and going back to the Sanhedrian threw ; it on the floor and departed and go-' ing out into the darkness, and this as intensified by the fact that there was not hope of forgiveness, and that he was leaving this life to enter into that great) beyond where he must pay the penalty for the sins which had caused him to betray the Lord of Heaven and the earth.
