m.u<it stained, be sure to wait until it
is en.tir'•ely dry and ''then heeds off
with a whisk -broom and sponge, the
marks until they disappear, .11 the
marks are still persistent try other
means. To clean black sills from
mud stains the following process is
"often very suceessful : Pare and cut
into very small pieces one potato
and pour over it a pint of boiling

liquid web the material 'tboroughd+y.
Pressure silk dry on the wrong side,
running the iron= rip and down the
silk, not- across it. To oletui mud

Grass stairs.—Soak grass stains
in molasses, then wash in the usual
way.
Coifae.—Peur actively. boiling
water through coffee stains as soon
as possible.alter the coffee is spilled.
The best way is to spread the Stain-
. ed a.rtiole over a bowl and then pour
the water through it.
Fruit and Wine.—Treat in the
same way as !coffee stains.
Coeoa and chocolate.—Soak the
stained article in cold water. These
stains, like those from coffee, oan
be most quickly removed when
fresh.
ink.—Ink spots can sometimes be
removed by soaking thein in milk.
However, the milk should never be
allowed to dry en the ink -spotted
article, as et leaves a dirty yellow
stain which is hard to wash out:
Various ink eradtieabors sold by
druggists are Useful. A.simple rem-
edy, one, tae, which hies proved
effective on old stains which had de-
fied other treatment, is peroxide of
hydm•ogen, This of course, should be
used carefully on colored rnatetials,
es it has ut bleaching effect. It can
be dropped on the spot• from a med-
icine dropper or poured slowly from
a spoon. There are several other
methods for removing ordinary ink
from white awash. goods. One of
them is by the nae of Chlorinated
soda, which east be procured at any
damng stows and will mike out ink ie
the 'spot liras .nob been washed with
soap and water. It .should be rinsed

This photograph shows one of the workshops of the immense Krupp factory, where the present "Made in Germany" aver had warm sup-

world. Not more than a year ago the Krupp Company were successfully challenged by a Socialist member of the Reichstag, who under-
took to prove that the I(mupp+s had subsidized newspapers in other countries, notably Fran•ee, to stir up feeling againstt Germany, so that
the Kaiser's Government might he inspired to order more big guns. One of the things the allies must do when they enter Germany is to

Lesson III. In the Garden of Geth-
semane—Mark 14. 32-42. Golden
Text, Matt. 26.41.
Verse 32. A place—An inclosed
piece of ground.
'Gethsemane --From the Hebrew
gath shemen, meaning an "oil
press." This inclosed piece of
ground is regarded as having+been
an olive orchard. The owner may
have ,possessed an oil press nn which
the oil from the olives of neighbor-
ing owners of olive orchards, for a
consideration, was pressed out.
And he saith unto his disciples,
Sit ye here, while I pray—The dis-
ciples would not understand his
passion. They might ibe sore dis-
tressed in their faith, to" see the
Master in .agony. Jesus would
save them from 'this. Hence he
leaves them nearer the entrance to
the garden and goes feether in. It
is not likely that* he left them es an
outpost to give warning of 'bhe ap-
proach of the enemy or Ito protect
him from assault. He was thinking
h rog
of them, of their faith, not of the
enemy. Had he considered the ap-
proach of the unfriendly host he
would have known that his dis-
ciples could not have defended him
against them.
He taketh with him Peter and
James and John—The same three
he tool: with him to the Mount of
Transfiguration. He needled closer
companionship. They would un-
derstand him .better than ,the rest.
Perhaps he could depend on them
in his •sorrow. At least so it seems
that Jesus in his humanness
thought. But he did nob remain
with the three. He went further
away (about a stone's threw) from
them (see Matt. 26. 36-46; Luke 22.
40-46).
And began—This was •the begin-
ning of the outward struggle, of
the awful experience of the Lord in
the garden. The inner struggle he
lied already fought. He had spok-

en of it frequently. ' He had in-
structed his disciples as to how
he must suffer. But when :the actual
outer conflict (began he was greatly
amazed, and sore • troubled. Even
the poise, the fortitude, the imag-
ination of the Saviour, which gave
him a foresight of the tremendous-
ness and intensity of the encounter,
could not prepare Jesus so that the
would enter upon the conflict with-
out surprise. It came as a sudden
and appalling revelation.
34. Abide ye here, and -watch —
Ths struggle wens awful for him; it
Would have been overwhelming for
the three tried and trusted dis-
ciples. So he asks them to remain
where they are while he goes fur-
ther into the conflict. He asked
them "to watch," not for him, but
for themselves. They needed to be
on guard, for temptation, in its
cruelest form was near therm
35, And fell on the greend, and
prayed—The usual pasture in pray-
er was to stand. To kneel was more
submissive. Bet Jesus fell on the
ground, on his face; and he fell not
only once, but continually. The
imperfect of the venb to fall is used
in the Greek, This denotes repeat-
ed action. Jesus Wats in a. protract-
ed and desperate 'conflict.
If it were possible—The pain at
no moment was so poignant or
piercing as 'to cause Jesus to forget
that a higher will was to the con-
sidered. Gladly, eagerly, would
he have had the hour ,pass, but on-
ly if it were ,possilble. In verse 36
he asks that the sup be removed.
The hour and the cup are solemn
and suggestive features of the
Gethsemane struggle.
36. Abbe, Father. --God, our Fa-
ther. To the Hebrew Abba,
"Clod," is added the explanation,
"Father." In an intense and pro-
longed petition no term is too dear
to make the app each closer and
mere intimate, In the death strug-
gle he .called upon God his Father,
and when the end was near on the
cross the name of Father was on
his Amps.
All things are possible unto thee
—Jesus could not forget this. How
he wrestled with the I Father for
deliverance.
Howbeit not what I will, but
what thou wilt—All things were
possible unto the Father, yet this
thing was impossible for him. Jesus
recognizes this impossibility; but
in this recognition he is neither
lost in hopelessness nor despair.
37. Findsth them sleeping — The
excitement and exertion of the last
days were now marking -inroads ' ae-
on the strength of the disciples. It
is suggestive to cote that on the
Mount of Transfiguration these
three disciples also slept.'
He said unto Peter, Simon —
Simorr was the old natne of Peter
before he had been changed into
Petros, the roqk. .Did Jesus real-
ize that the rock in Peter 'was about
to. crumble and that his old name
Simon would be more indicative'of
his real (that is, his old) self?
,Sils•epest thou/ couldest thou not
watch one .hour 7 --,Simon, above all
others, sleeping ! The' Simon, or
rather the Peter, who a few mo-
ments before had said : "If all ellen
be offended in thee, I will never be
effenaled" (Matt. 36. 33).
':38, Watch and pray—The ;original
is, "Watch ye and pray."
That ye enter not into tempte-
d/in--Even in the throes of .his owe
misery Jesus cannot forget
r et ois dis-
ciples,
l -ciples,
and warns' them to watch
and pray inctesatltly that they fall'
not into temptation. 'They had ell
sworn him allegiance. How well he
knew their weakness and, how desir-
ous to save them from it!
39. And again he went away, and
prayed•--Almosat with the counsel
on his lips to the three disciples
that they cease not to pray, Jesus
again goes •forth into sprayer. What
was needful fur his disciples was
necessary fur hien.
Their eyes were very heavy —
Their eyes were weighted down ; it
was impose:lee, so great was their
weariness, to resist slumber.,
41. Sleep on now _'Ji'he battle was
fought and., won, Ile disciples
could now sleep, Jesus had deep
sympathy for thein. He wanted
them tto get their rest.
It is enough—the vigor of the vbc-
tor is in hie step, the firmness of
one whi, has overcome is in his
voice, and the light of the conquer-
or in '11:5 Countenance.
Tee hour is come ; behold ----As a
general suddenly conscious that
the time for action has come awight
speatk,-so Jesus spoke. Now that
the inner fight was finished, he be-
came conscious of outward u,ndi-
tions. He n Is eed now. doubtless,
the moving lights in the distance
and realized that the moment was
at hand when he was to he betray-
ed. The Greek word for betray anti
betrayer, wilic'h is used in the nar-
rative whenever Jesus !speaks of
the betrayal, means "betrayed un-
to death." He wars to be delivered
unto those who desired to end hi
life. On this point Jesus was never
deceived. He knew thee the physi
cal end had come.
42. Arise, let us be going --- H{
saw the lights winding down the
hill and entering the garden. He
knew that the company of arresters
had come. He woidd not wait to
have them seek chum. Hewould go
to them. For already had they tak-
en him. Only the physical capture
was wanting. He also, doubtless,
desired to join the other disciple:,
so that !they would not be unduly
frightened.
He that betrayeth me is at hand
—The most pointed condemnation
Jesus ever uttered, yet withal fvllled
with the deepest pity and unutter-
able regret fox the one concerning
whom the words were uttered.
