I Creamed al lCommentsJf/i I,- on & scares Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Watching and Praying in Gethsemane, Mark 14: 32-42, for Sunday, May 29. In the Garden of Gethsemane Jwe have a picture of the merger of the human and the divine in Christ climaxing in physical and spiritual suffering, the like of which has never been known. In this experience we have God’s atonement for mankind. V. 32. ‘‘And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here while I pray.” This garden was a frequent place of prayer for our Lord. It is good for all of us to have a place frequented for prayer. Christ asked eight of his disciples to tarry at the entrance into the garden till he should come again. How to tarry till Jesus comes is our very significant duty. V. 33. "And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amezed and very heavy.” Jesus longed for sympathy and he also wanted trusted witnesses to his experience of victory over all sin. It is a matter of grave concern for one to go to his death; his experience in physical death is the common experience of ail, and we must face (his fact heroically. V. 34. "And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here and watch.” While the pains of physical death meant suffering, the greatest was spiritual; namely, that he should for a moment be “The Lamb led to the slaughter,” that "on him should be placed the iniquity of us all," that he should "die in our stead," that he should be under the densest spiritual cloud so that even God could not be seen, a condition which called for his cry, "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The three disciples In the inner circle were both to tarry and to pray, thus effecting a fellowship of prayer. V. 35. "And he went forward a i little, and fell on the ground, and prayed, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.” Never was there such a tense prayer; Jesus saw before him the ignominy of the cross surcharged by the, hatred of men and bis best friends 1 Today our problems are so many and so great that there is a tendency to do nothing about them. But there is one need we can all do something about, and that is to become better Christians. Each of us can supply that need by beginning with himself. Today let us all reveal, as best we can, the mind and spirit of Christ. In this way we can make the surest contribution toward the building of a better world. Clericus Says: Clericus says: "Let us pray in all good conscience for anything we believe to be right and needful for us and others. Perhaps we are mistaken. What we pray for may be wrong and quite harmful to ourselves and our contemporaries. But if we end each prayer with the words. ‘Not what I will, but what thou wilt,' we can be sure

' going back on him. But regardless < of it all he moved forward, going a little farther. It is dur going a little forward that counts for spiritual victory. V. 36. "And he said, Abba, Father all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me, nevertheless, not<what 1 will, but what thou wilt.” We are not big enough to understand what this prayer meant. We get a glimse of God's goodness when we suffer and his love when he answers “no”’ to our prayer, and we have the exalted example of Jesus who made a full surrender to be slain for the salvation of the world. V. 37. "And he cometh and findeth them sleeping and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?" Note Jesus called Peter by his former name, Simon, indicating he was a weak follower and not the rock by the name Peter. Likely these disciples were weighed down by sorrow so theirs was the sleep of the weary. V. 38. “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." Here Jesus gave the secret of spiritual victory • watchfulness and prayer; watchfulness against the subtlety of Satan, and man, and prayer for the divine help to overcome. V. 39. “And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words." Jesus did not stop with a sentence prayer, or with praying for a short while. He prayed a long time. V. 40. “And when he returned he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.” Likely Peter reported this incident showing how he had failed his 1 Master. To say the least, these three disciples were greatly embarrassed. V. 41. “And he cometh the third! time, and saith unto them, Sleep! on now, and take your rest; it, is enough, the hour is come; be- . hold the Son of man is betrayed' into the hands of sinners.” The i great opportunity for the deepest i fellowship with Christ had now! ’ passed; hence, there was plenty ■ of time to rest now. V. 42. “Rise up and let us go; , 10, he that betrayeth me is at hand.” in this verse, “rise up" is the first step in Christ's resur- ■ rection. The resurrection power' now seized Christ, and he went • forward boldly, knowing full well i that he would be triumphant over J sin and death. that God's greatness will follow around our incompleteness and that which really needs to be done will be done." LESSON PRAYER: Lesson prayer: Our hearts are ’ touched as we see our Lord in 1 the Garden of Gethsemane; grant ’ that we may move forward as ’ followers of Christ, going a little further in our Christian venture ■ till we reach the place of complete ! and full surrender to the will of ' God. Grant that we may watch so well that the evil forces shall not seize hold of us, but that by prayer we may put these forces to J flight. In Bankok, Siam, December 4-11, 1 Religious News Service reports 5 there will be a meeting under the . auspices of the World Council of e Churches and the International r Missionary Council to discuss pro 1 blems confronting Christianity in ’- Asia. Representatives from China r India, Korea, Japan, and other I. countries are expected to attend e the conference.

The Permanent Home If we want a strong nation • and we do - then the home must be strong and secure. The furniture in it need not be expensive, but it should be comfortable and attractive. D. A. Hayes has given us the marks of an enduring home: “Integrity must be the architect and tidiness the uphol-| sterer; it must be warmed by as- 1 section and lighted with cheerfulness; industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere every day; while over all, as the protecting canopy and glory, nothing will suffice but the blessing of the Almighty." >r I zv v Uncrowned Heroes John E. Marvin has said: “Less colorful than the role of the soldier, yet equally significant, is that of religious martyrs, scientists, mother, workers, and a host of other servants of human betterment who died in line of duty. The drama they played has been a (comparatively silent one, away from the glamour of the main attractions. We will never know how many saints there have been whose names never get into holy writ or how many scientists gave their lives to research only to discover a formula on which somebody else rode to glory. Nor can we number , the mothers who paid the supreme price that new generations might be born. “So, for all that has been done for us by those who came before, we pause in reverent remembrance on Memorial Day. Inestimable had been their service to the progress we enjoy and boast. It is our nigh privilege and sacred duty to carry on the pageant of progress in building a new and better world."

[Church lforun|| How may we bring God to bear on the many vast problems of today? In answering this question, the following statement is found in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal: “There is no one who would not prefer to do business with one who really believes in the future life. The supreme need of the hour is not elastic currency or sounder banking, or better protection against panics, or bigger navies, or more equitable tariffs, but a revival of faith, a return to mortality which recognizes a basis in religion and the establishment of a workable and working theory of life, that views man as something more than a lump of matter. "I put my hope in the future not in a reduction of the high cost of living, not in any scheme of government, but a recognition by the people that after all there is a God in the world. Mind you, I have no religion, 1 attend no church, and I deal all day long with hard questions of economics, so that I am nothing of a preacher; but, I know there will never come anything like peace or serenity, by a mere redistribution of wealth, although that redistribution is necessary and will come.” Book Review Manual of Civilization, the William-Frederick Press, consists of three parts: (1) The Human Ultimates (Bodily Well-being and Mental Opportunity); (2) The Twin Engines of Civilization (Sciences and Crafts); (3) The Twin Products of Civilization (Arts and Recreation). It is written for a guide "out of the prejudices and fixations, which sprout stupid legislation and institutions, away from fretful habits and numbing traditions, to a vision of the means for making all human living a thing of joy and satisfaction."
