JESUS IN GETHSEMANE
Sunday, June 7—/Luke 22:39-71.
Golden Text
Not my will, but thine, be done
(Luke 22:42b.)
Midnight darkness and noon day
■sunlight appear in swiftly changing
succession. The blackness of sinful
human nature and Satanic hatred
■are seen- at their worst; the shining
glorious whiteness of divine right
eousness and of sinless human na
ture are seen at their best.
Poor, proud Peter was going on in
his self-confident, empty boasting.
The Lord had warned him that Satan
would attack him fiercely and that
he (Peter) would deny his Lord 3
times that very night. Lightly Pe
ter answered: “Though I should.die
with Thee, yet will I not deny Thee.’
Nor was Peter alone in his weak,
sslnful confidence, for “Likewise al
so said all the disciples” (Matt. 26:
Tua Lord and His eleven disc!ples
—all but Judas Iscariot—went to
gether to the Mount of Olives, then
to a garden there named Gethsemane
He jy&rned His disciples: “Pray that:
ye enter not into temptation.” They
were to be tempted at once, as He
well knew; and they were all going
to fall under temptation, as they
need not have failed. He was going
to be tempted, also, as never man
'had been tempted or tester^ And He
was not going to fail.
Under this terrific, scorching, sear
ing temptation the .Son of God, who
was also the Son of man, showed a
humility, a meekness, that only the
G >d-Man could show. And He was
was utterly victorious. Peter showed
a pride and boastfulness that only
weak, sinful human nature could
■show. And he was utterly defeated.
The supreme conflict of time and
eternity began its consumption in
Gethsemane; it was completed on
Calvary and—-by the resurrection.—
in the sepulchre.
Let us never fall into the common
thoughtless mistake of talking
about “our Gethsemane.” We have
none. No created human being has
ever had a Gethsemane. There has
been but one Gethsemane in time
and eternity and that was Christ’s;
the Gethesmane we are permitted to
aee in the inspired revelation of the
Gospels.
Christ withdrew from His dis-
riples but took the innermost circle
of three with Him—Peter, James j
and John—and prayed. Even then
He withdrew a little from the three,
but asked them, as He had asked
the others, to stay nearby and watch
with Him, and help by their human
companionship and prayer.
We are given the sacred privilege
of hearing the Gethsemane prayer of
the Son of God addressed to His
heavenly Father: “Father, if Thou
be willing remove this cup from Me;
nevertheless, not My will, but Thine,
be done.”
What was the “cup” t'hat has caus
ing our Lord this agony in prayer?
It was agony, indeed, for the prayer
was offered three times; and Luke
the physician records a physical fact
not given in the other Gospels: ‘And
being in an agony He prayed more
earnestly: and His sweat was as it
were great drops .of blood falling
down to the ground.”
Matthew tells us that the Lord
had said of His d'isciples: “My soul
is exceeding
death.”
There are
pretations of
of our Lord’s agony at Gethsemane,
It is not possible
been- merely the
death, for many
have faced death
believe that our
as He was under
of the enmity of
feared premature physical
t'hat is, that He might break
and die before reaching the
and that He paryed to be delivered
from this. It is a reasonable inter
pretation, especially in view of the
passage in Hebrews 5:7. “Who in
the days of His flesh, when He had
offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto
Him t'hat was able to save Him from
death, and was heard in that He
feared . . .
Another interpretation worthy of
serious consideration, is presented in
the .Scofield Reference Bible; “The
‘cup’ must be interpreted by our
•Lord’s own use of that symbol in
speaking of His approaching sacri-
ricial death (Matt. 20:22; John 18:-
11. In view of John 10:17, 18, He
could 'have been in no fear of an un
willing death. The value of the ac
count of the agony in the garden is
in the evidence it affords that He
knew fully what the agony of the
cross would mean when His soul was
made an offering for sin (Isa. 53:10
in the 'hiding of His Father's face.
Knowing the cost to the utmost, He
voluntarily paid it.”
It is a question whether, with our
finite, human minds, we can under
stand the real meaning of ou-r Lord’s
agony at Gethsemane. Any interpre-
tation raises some ‘ unanswerable?
questions. We may safely leave the
question with God, while accepting
t'he ’ divinely inspired record of th
suffering borne by His Son as H
took the place of sinners, was iden-
ified with our sin, and paid the per
alty of our sins, even to being sei

In black contrast again with the
white glory of Christ’s surrender
and .righteousness come the multi
plied failures and sins of men.
'All'His disciples failed Him by
sleeping through the time when He
longed for their companionship and
prayer.

betrayed Him with a kiss.

Thus, in the face of supreme right

birthday of the Dionne Quintuplets. Everything was fine, includ
ing the supply of presents for the occasion. All of which, for the
most part, we approve. We have heard with delight of the recog
nition given the Moose River mine workers who accomplished the
notable rescue of the intombed men. All of which is altogether
to' the good.
But what is being done for the widow and family of officer Lewis,
who, knowing that he was imperilling his life, stepped, into that
Sarnia store to meet the pistol of Red Ryan only to fall in his tracks
in the discharge of duty! Why leave the brave officer's memory
unhonored and unsung by comparison? Why leave the widow and
her family to grope along as best they can in their midnight lone
liness? Every hour of the day and of the night the police officers
present themselves as billetts for killer’s bullets. When they fall
before such lethal weapons society is under the most solemn obliga
tion to care for the widow and -the orphan.
The bravery of the Moose River miners at Moose River was but
an occasion. Why not honour and provide for- all such workers
w.hose services of equal bravery is a commonplace.

HOW TO BUILD UP A TOWN
An exchange offers the following
advice on how to build up a town:
Talk about it.
Write about it.
Speak about it.
Help to improve it.
Beautify the streets.
Patronize its merchants.
Advertise' in its newspapers.
Elect good men to all the offices.
If you are rich, invest
thing, employ somebody,
I er.
If you don’t think of
word to say, don’t say anything bad
about it.
.Remeber every dollar you invest
in a permanent improvement is that
much on interest,
Be courteous to strangers that
come amongst us, so that they go
away with good impressions.
Always cheer up the men who go
in for improvements. Your portion
of the cost will -only be what is just.
Don't kick about any necessary
public improvement because it is not
at your own door or for fear that
you? taxes may be raised fifteen
cents.

your taxes at home.
