the weight of the sins of the world,

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.
