Jesus Christ. surrounded by the persecuting crowd, went out of Jerusalem to a place called, in the Hebrew language, Golgotha, that la, the place of aekull.

i mother’s sister. Mary, the wife of Cleopbas, and Mary Magdah-ne who had twice dried His feet upon her hair. The Disciple was he whom Jesu* loved — John, who had leaned upon His breast and asked Him which was the betrayer. When Jesus saw them standing at the foot of the cross. He said to Hl* mother that John would be her son. to comfort her when He was dead; and from that hour John was as a sou to her. and loved her. At about the sixth hour, a deep and terrible darkness came over all the land, aad lasted until the ninth hour, when Jesus cried out. with a loud voice. "My God. my God. why hast Thou forcsaken me!” The soldiers. hearing Him. dipped a sponge in some vinegar that was standing there, and fastening it to a long reed, put it up to His mouth. When He had received it. He said. "It is finished!” - And crying. "Father! Into Thy hand* 1 commend my spirit!" died. Then there was a dreadful earthquake; and the great wall ot the temple cracked; and the rocks were rent asunder. The guard*, terrified at these sights, said to each other. "Surely this was the Son of Hod!” and the people who had been watching the cross from a distance lamong whom were many wrtnent smote upon their breasts, and went, fearfully and sadly home. The next day. being the Sabbath the Jews were anxious that the bodies should be taken down at once, and made that request to Pilate.

Pilate eonscntlng. he aud one Nirodemus rolled it In linen and spices — It was the custom of the Jew* to prepare bodies for burial in that way— and bttrled It in a new tomb or septt'chro. which had been cut out of a rock in a garden near to the place of crucifixion, and where no one ’taa ever yet been buried. They then rolla great atone to the mouth ot the sepulchre, and left Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, sitting there, watching IL The chief priests aud Pharisees, remembering that Jesus Christ had said to Hit Disciples tMt He would

rise from the grave on the third day after His death, went to Pilate < and prayed that lhe sepulchre might be well taken care of uttil i that day. lest th* Disciples should steal the body, and afterward* say , to the people that Christ was risen from lhe dead.
