D. 30, Thursday evening, April 6, bout midnight, to about one o'clock Friday orning, Ag‘ril 7. Immediately following the Anstitution of the Lord’s Supper. » | PLACE.--Gethsemane, a garden on the westfern slope of the Mount of Olives. : | 399 US was beginding the last day of His learthly life. About thirty-three and one-nalf Prcars old. : i i CIRCUMSTANCES.--We closed -our last lesson with those words of heavenly comfort and instruction which the beloved disciple has preBerved for us in his Gospel' Closing with a prayer .overflowing with tenderness and hape, nd with a hymn sung by all, Jesus had comleted His work as teacher, and there remained only the steps to the cross, and the toning work thereon, by which alone His rords could become the power of God for salvation. : { LESSON NOTES. : | A coarser infidelity has. much to say bout the shrinking of our Lord from death. Such weakness is pronounced unworthy, in contrast with many a artyr who has gone triumphantly to is cross; and many a hero to whom death has been “welcome as the sight pfsky and stars to prisoned men. [‘ “It would suffice to answer that Jesus Iso fajled not when the trial came, ut before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good .confession, and won upon the cross the adoration of a fellow-sufferer pnd. the confession of a Roman soldier.”

| Courage is not stoical indifference - nor insensibility to suffering. It is ot that physical prowess which disdains any expression of pain. “The stoie, to whom pain is no evil, and the Indian, laughing and singing at the stalke, are ’ Earfly actors and partly perversions of : umanity.” “Who is so hard-hearted as | !to think less of the valor of the marJtyrs because it was bought by many a | épnely and intense conflict with the ‘ flesh?” True courage is of the soul, and is measured by the degree of sensi- | Eilitjr to pain, and by the full vision | jkam'd conscicusness of the evil to be enpured, together with the unflinching { doing of one’sduty in the face of all. The most sensitive soul is often the bravest. l_ A friend once called the attentiom—ef Napolecn to the blanched face of an officer as he. was marching inte battle, :hs showing that he was a coward. Nai,rpole_on replied that that man was the bravest officer in his army; for he saw ! clearly and felt keenly his danger, and igct'went forward into the thickest of the battle. ; ’{ Into this one hour were crowded by prevision the combined horrors of the: passion, its cruelty, its shame, its physical torment, its spiritual tortures. hHe felt with the greatest intensity the ‘sin of the world. The wickedness of Judas, the weakness of even His chosen ones, the best on earth, the crimes of ‘Jewish leaders soon to be wrought against Himself, their measureless folly 'Eln rejecting their Messiah, their only r‘ihope, the terrible €vils soon to come !éupon the whole nation, brought before | His soul the most awful results of sin !‘Eupon the human race. It was the unspeakable horror of a world throwing laway Heaven and hope, and trampling ‘on the. most radiant manifestation of love God Himself could make to them. \lt was the mgother heart burdened with jt’he sin and ingratitude of her son who ismites her for her efforts to save him.

- The Answer to Christ’s Prayer.—V. 42; Luke 22:43. There were three answers to the prayer of Jesus. _ First, the angel strengthening him (Luke) was a direct answer. There are Et\vo ways of answering a prayer for the removal of a burden. In one the burden is taken away, and we remain the same; in the other we are made so §strong that the burden is no longer a gburden to us; as what would crush a child is but sport to a man. Paul kept the thorn in his flesh, but God’s grace was made sufficient for him. Jesus going on to the cross (v. 42) shows that the answer was given. : Second, He had most. intimate coms munion with God. By His trouble and His prayer He came close to His Heavenly Father. ' The third answer to prayer is the giving, not that which we ask forin the form we ask it, but the soul of -our prayer, the thing we in our deepest hearts want, and would ask for if we saw all things as God -sees them. .If clearly before the vision of Jesus there had appeared two choices, the one of escape from the! cross, but with that also the failure of His mission, the triumph of evil, the loss of unnumbered souls, no crown, no glory, no abiding on the right hand of God; and the other choice, that of the cross and its agony, but with it also the redemption of the world, the ineffable glory of God, the joys of millions of the saved, the crown of triumph over evil—who doubts which would have been His real, innermost prayer. His prayer was answered, for the cross was changed to a crown, Gethsemane into paradise, death into immortal glory. ; el _ LESSONS FROM GETHSEMANE.

Imany. i ; : *T'he unostentious manner in which our national affairsare administered is well illustrated by the striking contrast between the ceremony af swearing in recruits in our army and the same ceremony in Germany,” remarked -an officer who is stationed at Fort Wayne. “Here the recruit. after expressing his desire to serve Uncle Sam, is ushered into the room, a bare, dingy, rented apartment, which servesas ofice for the en}isting‘ officer of the army, .and then and there is called upon to repeat, after the said officer, the following oath, its solemn impo¥t marked by the cursory upward tendency of the - irrespective right hand: ‘I do solemanly swear that I will bear true faith. and allegiance t 6 the United States of America and that I will serve them honestly and faithfnlly against all their enemies whomsoever; and that I will-obey the orders of the president of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over e, according to the rules and articles of war. So help me, God.” Signature to this | oath makes him, without wore ado, a full-fledged soldier, : | “How different is the following cere- } mony used in binding Germany’s sol- | diers to - their kaiser: The young conscript is.conducted to the church of the ; parish in which he enlists, where he is ' first addressed by the pastor on the sacred character and great import of the oath he is about to take; then the flag ‘[ of hiscountry and that of his battalion being placed on the altar, the embryo ' soldier is required to place his left ~hand on these flags and raising his right, to repeat the following oath: ‘I swear before God, who is all powerful "and who knows all, that I will serve ioyally and faithfully my very gracious sovereign ‘under all ecircum~stances. On land and sea,in peace and in war, and in all places I swear to seek only his good and to do everything to prevent injury to' him. I swear to observe strictly the articles of war which have just beén read to me. I swear to obey all orders and to conduct myself as every. courageous, honest soldier ought to do, delighting in fulfilling the duties that honor imposes upon me. As surely as God will &id me in gaining eternity through Jesus Christ, amen.’ : “Is it not a serious question whether our simplieity in the administration of a sacred oath does not defeat its very purpose? We, in this free-born American republie, are justly proud of our simple, unostentatious ways, marked by want of useless ceremony, and we, by our example, daily administer rebuke to the old world for the vanity of its ways, but let us not carry this feel'ing ‘too far. Human nature here, as elsewhere, is impressionable, and if an obligation is rendered more binding by impressiveness we should not hesitate to employ its necessary accompaniments even to the ‘fuss and- feathers’ employed. by our elders in the ‘sisterhood of nations. - z ‘““The average American, unversed in patriotic lore, "woefully ignorant of patriotic. symbols, is constantly aeeused of ‘want of devotion to his country, of too great individualism, too little nationalism. Let wus: hope that this is not so. that our patriotism but lies dormant, awaiting the ocecasion which will call it into play and make its existent strength emphatically evident to the world. *ln 'the meantime, let the soldier swear by his country’s beautiful emblem; furthermore let the Star and Stripes be displayed more often and with more reverence before the peoplé at large. Nothing will contribute further to arouse our heterogeneous population, our too large disorderly clement, the product of sordid, selfish individualism, t 9 a realization of other more worthy interests; of a duty paramount to all others, yet so generally lost sight of, «to a country that exists, to a flag that waves, on this side of the ocean.”’—Detroit Free Press. 3 ;

BORED THROUGH ‘A BULLET. The Remarkable Feat of a Common Carpet Moth. i Charles Johnson, a well-ltnown local hunter of Marlington, W. Va., got out his Winchester rifle, after it had been standing for two weeksin a closet with the barrel loaded, and found, upon extracting the cartridge to clean the gun, that the lead of the bullet had been eaten away and poured out of the bare. rel in fine dust. With the dust there came the dried body of a common moth, and the appearance of the moth indicated that it had eaten the lead from the bullet. He showed the moth and the lead dust to several friends, and all agreed that everything indicated that the moth had eaten away the lead. One of Mr. Johnson’s friends happened to Dbe aecquainted . with Mr. Frank Johnson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a famous entomologist, and suggested that the moth and lead borings be sent to him for examination and report.. This was done, and the report was received. Mr. Johnson says the moth was a common carpet moth, and that the gun. standing against the wall of the closet, had captured the moth as it fell from some articleof clothing, and thegmoth, being unable to climb out of the smooth gun: barrel, had attacked the softest part it could find, and had gone to work to bore its way out. He says that it is the second time on record, the first being where a French entomologist had placed several moths in a lead box and they had eaten their way out. He stated that the present case was most remarbable, as the moth had reduced neurly an ounce of lead to powder in less than three weeks, and that without food upon which to renew its ener gies.—Baltimore American. e Englishwomen at the Forge. : There was a long shed, with eight or ten forges in it; a worker and a blower to each forge. Toil was being carried on with feverish energy under the eyes { of the master, who promenaded up and down. There were as many women as men. The heat was great and the 11 smell baddish, and suggestite of its ex- ‘ treme badness in midsummer. At one forge one woman—age abont twentytwo—used the hammer with her hands and worked the oliver with her feet. I tried to do as she did. Sks settled a nail in two or three blows. It cost me seven. The force necessarv to urake the oliver do its duty is very great. The whole power of the boly must be concentrated upon the leg muscles. At g*hfm;& man and wife were at work; ‘both just over twenty.’ 1 wondered B & o U ~i et e s i e e,
