Memories And Meanings Os Garden Os Gethsemane One Traveler’s Recollections Os A Moonlit Night On Olivet—Some Who Sleep Away The Hour Os Significance.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS One night three of us, Americans went out from our Jerusalem hotel, near the Jaffa Gate, and crossing the city, and the Brook Kedron, Kredon, we climbed the steep road up to the crest of the Mount of Olives. Several times we paused to look back upon the city at our feet. It was, we know, upon just such a night, with the effulgence of the full moon bathing the landscape, that our Lord journeyed for the last time to this hillside which He loved, to muse upon the city of His desire. There lay Jerusalem, softened and beautified by the moonlight. All the ugliness which sunlight reveals was gone. Near us, on the site of Solomon's Temple, rose the Dome of the Rock. Other mosques with cupolas, and the two German church towers, and the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, were clearly traceable. The eastern walls were visible; and here and there in the city a feeble light shone. A beauty as of charity enveloped it all: and to the visitor came thronging memories of the prophets, saints and martyrs; the soldiers, kings, and travelers, who had felt the fulfillment of their hearts’ desire in viewing the Holy City from this hillside made sacred by the supreme experience of the Redeemer. Something of His yearning and compassion for this city of David wells up toward it, and all the other cities which today shelter blindness and unbelief and sin and perplexity. Over the spirit there steals a sense of confidence, verily, the travail of His soul shall be satisfied. A Garden of Fellowship Once this hillside echoed to the shouts of the Roman soldiers and the Jewish temple police, as they exulted over the capture of the Master. Formerly, it had been jubilant with the hosannas of the multitudes who acclaimed Him as Conqueror. Amid the shadows of these rocks the frightened disciples scurried for cover at the hour when Jesus needed them most. But above all else, the memory recurs that this friendly hillside was Christ s favorite place of prayer. Here Ho met the Father; and here all suffering spirits meet Him, in the Garden of Fellowship In her earlier years, Ella Wheeler Wilcox saw this clearly: ••In golden youth, when seems the earth A summer land for singing mu i> When souls are glad and hear s are light, And not a shadow lurks in sight We do not know it, but there lie Somewhere, veiled under evening skies, A garden all must sometime see Somewhere lies our Gethsemane. “With joyous steps we go our way Lo-.e lenos a halo to our days Light sorrows sail like clouds aWe laugh, and say how strong we are ’ ! We hurry on, and hurrying go Sose to the borderland of woe That waits for you and waits for tne — Forever waits Gethsemane. “ Down shadowy lanes, across strange streams, Bridged over by our broken d. earns Behind the misty caps ofi years, close to the borderland of woe, The garden lies; strive as you may ou cannot miss it in yourjay All paths that have been, or shal Pass’somewhere through Gethsem“ll! those who journey, soon or ■Not mine, but Thine, ■r etlhUcup pass,’ and cannot see Mark 14: 32-46. ***** ***** * * * »The* Sunday School Lesson io is “Facing the ,Or JU 7 Test of Servlce.’’Supreme Test t » *** * * . * a, * ♦

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1938.

The Tragedy of Time All time that has been and will ibe focussed its supremo tragedy | upon this gray hillside. Our Lesson ; story Itself is more important than any comment. I quote the Weymouth Version: "So they came to a place called i Gethsemane. There He said to His ' disciples, I “ 'Sit down here till I have prayed.’ "Then He took with Him Peter . and James and John, and began to i be full of terror and distress, and He haid to them: “ ‘My heart is oppressed with ianguisTi to the very point of death: | wait here and keep awake.’ “Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible. He might be spared this time of agony; and He said: “Abba! My Father! All things are possible, for Thee; take this cup of suffering away from me; and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest.’ "Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, “‘Simon are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour? Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail.’ “He again went away and prayed, using the very same words. When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him. A third time He came and then He said, “‘Sleep on and rest. Enough! The hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men. Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand.’ “Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. “ ‘The one I kiss,’ he said, ‘is the man: lay hold of Him, and take Him safely away.’” Knowing the Great Hour A striking phrase from the Book of Chronicles describes the children of Issacher as “men who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do." They were not asleep at their watchpost. To them, their own day was portentious with significance. They searched out the deeper meanings of things, even as the wise are doing today. Such as are not asleep, are in this crisis hour entering into a fresh understanding of the world’s present Gethsemane for the race; they hear the call for vicariousness and self-renunciation; they perceive the divine philosophy of Calvary, they catch the glory of the all-solving spirit of “not my will, but Thine, be done." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A goose-quill is more dangerous than a lion s claw.—Proverb. And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. Kahlil Gibran. Great fleas have little fleas upon, their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas and so on, ad infinitum.—Anon. • • • Heaven and God are best discerned through tears; scarcely perhaps discerned at all without them. —James Martineau. The borrower is servant to the lender—Proverbs 22:!■ I count this thing to be grandly true: x , That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broauer view. —J. G. Holland. • * * The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. —Tennyson. Church Os The Nazarcne 7th and Marshall Sts.

"CONTRABANDIST

CHAPTER XXIX He sat down quickly on the bed beside her and took her hands. “My dear I You can have no possible conception of how terribly glad I am to see you.” She slid an arm round his shoulders and, pulling herself up, let her cheek rest against his. “You are tafe, my dear, safe. That is the cnly thing which matters.” “Yes, thanks to you, but how did you know they managed to get us jut of those devilish sands in time?” “Sir Pellinore. All last night and all today I have been almost craxy with anxiety. I got out of the Park early this morning, before anybody was up, and telephoned to Carlton House Terrace from the village, but Sir Pellinore was away and no one there could tell me where he had gone to After that, I had no chance to phone again. I dared not call from the house, in case Gavin cut in bn the line, and all through the afternoon he kept me busy, typing out endless sheets of figures for him because, you see, I have acted as his secretary for all his most confidents! business. After dinner he made me play backgammon with him and t thought I should go mad trying ;o conceal my desperate anxiety from those sharp eyes of his. At eleven o’clock we went up to bed »nd I had to give him a little time :o settle down; but by midnight I aad crept out of the house again and down to the village. Sir Pellinore was in when I called him up, and he told me that you were safe oack in London, so I went to a jarage, hired a car and drove straight here to you.” Gregory smiled again, a little bantering smile. “Have you come to me for good?” “Yes, if you want me.” "Sabine! You know I do! But zou mean to cut clear of this Gavin Fortescue business for good and all —don’t you?” "Yes. You were right about him. did not know it, because he has ilways been so good to me, but that nan is the devil in human form, I hink. Last night, when the Limper elephoned him that you had been taught, he sat there and told me juite calmly what he intended to do vith you and the police inspector. was horrified. Smuggling is one hing but murder another. What a iendish mind he must have to con:eive such a terrible way of killing lis enemies! I determined then .hat I must get away from him at whatever cost to my mother and mytelf; yet I had to pretend complete ndifference at the time so that he ihould have no suspicion of my in:entions. Immediately he left for Ysh Level I telephoned to Sir Pelinore.” » • • Gregory nodded. “It must have seen grim for you, darling. It was jrim for us too, because they didn't jet us out until the very last mosent. I really thought our numbers were up.»But never mind; we’re jafe enough now and it's the next move we’ve got to consider. Time's important, so I think, if you’re not eeling too done up, you had best some up to Scotland Yard with me. We’ll get Superintendent Marrowfat out of bed again and you must tell him all you know." She drew quickly away from him. “But I can’t. It is impossible for me to do that. To break away from Gavin myself is one thing, but to betray him quite another. How can you ask me to, when you know he saved my mother and me from starvation, and that he has been as generous as any father to me, giving me everything that I’ve ever had.” “But, my darling, you must think “T yourself. You don’t seem to realise that you’ve committed yourself to all sorts of criminal actions. The net is closing in on the whole of Gavin’s organization now. You’ll be arrested with the Limper and the others and charged like any ordinary female crook. The Court will deal lightly with you compared with tha others, because you gave information which saved myself and Wells from death, but they won'! let you off entirely. You’ll be sent lo prison,* Sabine. Don’t you understand what that means? You can't, jf course, or you’d never hesitate, but for a woman like you it will be

a living hell and there's only one way you can save yourself from that: you’ve got to turn King’s Evidence before the balloon goes up, so the court may use their full discretion in your case.” "I can’t, I tell you. I will not" "Please, Sabine, I beg you to.” "No, Gregory, no. Whatever he has done he has also been my friend. If I did as you wish—my self-re-spect—it would be gone for ever.” “Then there’s only one thing for it; I've got to get you out of England before the police decide to act.” “That would mean your having to abandon your job though.” “Oh, to hell with the jobl I would have given a lot to be in at the death, when we corner Gavin and the Limper, but that’s a bagatelle compared with your safety.” "Are there not extradition laws, so that they could bring me back?” “There are, but I don’t think they would apply them. You see, your having saved Wells and myself makes the police reluctant to prosecute you in any case now. It’s only that they’re bound to do so by the law—if they catch you.” She nodded thoughtfully. “Where could we go?” Gregory stood up and, forgetting the abrasions on his chest and back, stretched himself. He grimaced suddenly and lowered his arms. “The world’s big enough and there are plenty of places where the two of us could lose ourselves very happily for a time.” “When—when do we start?” she asked a little timidly. “Midday will be time enough. Nobody knows you’re here and zero hour for mopping up Gavin’s crowd will certainly not be before night. They may even leave him on a string for some days yet; until they’re satisfied they’ve gathered together all the threads of his organization.” “By midday he’ll know that I’ve left him. Don’t you think that may make him uneasy ? He knew I liked you. That, I think, was why he did not speak again of the business at Pegwell Bay all through today. He mentioned at lunch too that he had sent up to London for some sapphires that I might like to see, as though such things could possibly compensate me for your murder! It was horrible! But he’s clever. When he finds I’ve left him he may think I cared about you far more than I said and have gone to the police to tell them how you died.” “That’s true; and if he does think that he'll hop over to France in his plane so as to be out of the way until he’s certain you haven't told on him. Then the police will miss him after all, which would be a tragedy. I wish to God you’d change your mind and come clean with the people at the Yard. We wouldn’t have to make a moonlight flitting if you did and, with the information you could give them, the police would be able to fill in their gaps. Then they could raid Quex Park right away. If we acted now there would just be time for them to get Gavin in his bed before he finds out you’ve cut adrift from him.” "It’s no good, Gregory. I will not give evidence against Gavin.” “All right, my dear, in that case we must get out at once. The police don’t know you’re here, so we’ll have a free run to Heston, where we can pick up the plane. Before I leave I’ll telephone the Yard that if they don’t pinch Gavin within the next two hours they’ll lose him. I need not say what makes me believe that, or where I got my information.” “You are a very wonderful man, Gregory—the most wonderful man. I did not think {hat there was anybody in the world quite as wonderful as you. I love you.” He bent above her. "The gods are being kind to me in my old age. Most beautiful women are either good, stupid or vicious; and you are the marvelous exception. Lovely as a goddess, c!e\ ;• as an Athenian and a bad hat like myself, yet one who still has decent feelings. I’m going to kiss the lips off you once we land in France.” The temptation to set about it now was strong within him, but time was precious. - It was already after five o'clock. He had to get his car, take Sabine down to Heston in it, and see that his plane was fueled

for a cross-channel flight. He did not intend to telephone Scotland Yard until the last minute before leaving. It was doubtful if Superintendent Marrowfat would be able to reach Birchington before Gavin Fortescue was up, but he could telephone the local police with orders to prevent him leaving the Park until the Yard men arrived. Gregory bent down and pulled a couple of suitcases from under his bed. "Pack for me, will you?” he said. "Anything you can lay your hands on that you think will prove most useful. Rudd sleeps down in the basement so it would only waste time for me to go and dig him out of bed.” She stood up at once and began to collect things from his dressing table. “I’ll go round and get the car,” he told her. "It’s garaged in Elvaston Mews, about ten minutes' walk away, but I’ll be back in a quarter of an hour. Bless you.” “Bless vou," she echoed, as he smiled over his shoulder, and hh tall, slouching figure disappeared through the door. She heard him let himself out and his footsteps echo along the pavement of the deserted street in the silent hour that preceded dawn. A grayish light already filtered sluggishly through the chinks in the window curtains of the bedroom. She pressed the electric switch flooding out those signs of approaching day; then she set to work rummaging through Gregory’s drawers. In less than five minutes she had the two cases crammed to capacity with the things she thought would prove of the greatest. use to him and carried them out to the sitting room where she put them all ready, just behind the door, with the little dressing case which was all she had been able to bring with her. As she set them down she suddenly grew tense. She had caught the sound of cautious footsteps on the stairs. Gregory could not have got back so soon she felt sure. A second later a key clicked in the lock. The door swung open and she saw the Limper standing there with two other men behind him. Before she had time to scream he stepped into the room and had her covered with his automatic. “So, we were right,” he said. “The wife of the garage man in Birchington only overheard you say the word ‘Gloucester’ when you got the car but, as I had some of Sallust’s letters from when we searched him on the marshes, I had a hunch you’d said Gloucester Road, and we’d find you here.” • • * Sabine stared at the Limper with wide distended eyes; then backed slowly away before him. “What d’you want?” she whispered, tonelessly. “You,” the Limper smiled. “The Great Chief’s a light sleeper. He heard the crunching of your feet on the gravel, looked out of his window, and saw you making your getaway from Quex a few hours ago. It wasn’t difficult for him to find out from which garage in Birchington you got a car. He telephoned me at Ash Level to come up and get you.” “Get me,” breathed Sabine, her face gone ashen. “That’s it,” said the Limper slowly. “He was afraid that because we bumped off your boy friend you might have ratted on us and told tales to the police. We can’t afford to have that sort of thing happening, you know, and it’s lucky for you that you camo here instead of going to Scotland Yard.
