Jesus in Gethsemane,—Matt. 26:
36-56.
• Commentary, -1. The scene of the
agony (vs. 36-38). 36. Then cometh
Jesus, From the hallowed acetic of the
last supper. With hint were the eleven
disciples, Judas having already gone
forth to the enemies of Jesus. They
passed through one of the eastern gates
of Jerusalem, deecende(1 into tiie valley
of the Kidron and ascended the western
slope of the Mount of Olives. Place.
Jesus frequently retired here with his
disciples. It was an enclosure, told sena
believed it belonged to ceita.in friends
of Jesus, possibly to Mary, the mother
of Mark. Gethsemane. The present
Gethsemane. is about three-quarters of
a mile from the wall of Jerusalem, is
almost a square, one hundred and sixty
by one hundred fity feet, and contains
eight venerable olive trees. The name
'neaps "oil press," an emblem of trial,
distress, agony.---F.dersheim. The trees
now standing are thought to be one
thousandyears old and they may have
sprung from the roots of the tree$ that
were.standing in Christ's time. ,Sit ye
here, Near the entrance. to the garden.
While I go and pray yonder. Jesus
had frequently gone alone to pray,
Ilence the diseipies were not unfamiliar
with his practise. He felt the need of
communion with the Father in this crisis
when the redemption of the world was
at stake. 37, Took with him. Peter,
James and John were the inner circle
of Jesus' disciples. They were near to
hint because of their faith, devotion and
deep sympathy. They had been with
him on the, Mount of Transfiguration,
and in the room where he had raised
the dead to life. They seemed to ender -
eland him better than did the others,
and ]fence were better able to syrupath-
iee With him. This was a time. when
his human nature craved sympathy.
While he sought the Father's support
on the one :isle, he desired human help
en life other. Thew three had been
witnesses of the Transfiguration, and
now they were to witness the agony of
Gethsemane. Very heavy. "Sore troll-
bled."—R. V. The Greek word Inas in it
the thought of absence from home. "The
sorrow of a stranger in a strange laird.
a homesick grief, a deep distreee." 38.
Exceedingly sorowful. Enompassed
with grief. It was a fear of the eros:.
but in almost overwhelming, superna-
tural woe that weighed upon 'his soul.
Unto death. My soul is so dissolved in
sorrow, my spirit is filled with such
agony and anguish, that if speedy nuc-'
cor be not given to my body death muet
be the immediate eonsequence.—Clarke.
Watch with Me. Jesus knew that the
three diseipies whom he addressed. loved
him, even though they were weak. and
he• wished to have them near him,
II. Jesus at prayer. (vs. 39-4.4). 3:1.
Went forward a little (R. V.). Jesus
went "about a stone's cast" (Luke 22:
41) from the three and prayed alone.
Fell on his fare. Be kneeled down and
pressed his forehead to the grounds in
expression of his deep Humiliation and
earnest supplication. Prayed. There
aro seasons in human experience when
nothing avails but prayer. Jesus was
human as well as divine, and he poured
out his sorrowfnl and oppressed soul in
prayer. "We are here in full view of
the deepest mystery of our faith; the
two natures in one Person." 0 my
Sather. Jesus had' taught his disciple's
to pray, using the address. "Our Fath-
er;" expressing his need, and filial love
and confidence. If it be possible. Luke
says, "If thou be willing." Jesus was
not shrinking from his approaching
death on the erose, He knew that it. was
awaiting hint.. The "eup" that he men-
tioned in his prayer. and which even
then was being pressed to his lips. WAS
the crushing weight of the sins of the
world that was resting upon him, His
human feelings and Inman reason were
craving relief, if such: relief was in the
divine will. The inquiry suggested it-
self as to' whether there might not be
another way of accomplishing man's re-
demption. Not as I will. Hie own wish
was gladly yielded to the: Father's will.
This is the only satisfactory attitude
for us to take, that of gird eubmiselon
to the will of (led. It has been suggest-
ed that Jesus feared that, the agony of
Gethsemane might produce death, so
that be could not come to the cross,
there to pour out his life for the sins
of the world. It is suppceed by others

Her Terrible Experience Shows

Mrs. Jennie Darling, R. F. D. 1,

unable to do my work for four years,
as I had catarrh in a bad form. I
coughed incessantly, and got so weak

that he cried out to the Father, because
of the awful agony through which be
was passing in bearing the penalty of
the sins of the world.
40, cometh unto the disciples ---To the
three nearest to where he was praying.
He came to them, not to ascertain what
they were doing, for he knew that, but
to receive from them the human sym-
pathy and consolation which they might
afford. findeth them asleep—!'hey could
scarcely have realized the full signifi-
cance of the hour, yet their hearts were
bowed down with grief, for Luke says
that they were sleeping because of sor-
row. one hour—Jesus had been in the
deepest agony of soul and "his sweat
was as it were great drops of blood fall-
ing down to the ground" (Luke 22:44),
but his disciples were apparently indif-
ferent to his suffering and went to sleep.
41. watch and pray ---An exhortation ap-
plicable to Christians at all times, yet
emphatically in place upon that necasiota
the spirit indeed is willing—The higher
nature assented to the duty which lay
upon them. the flesh is weak ---The low-
er nature has its linti.t•ations. Their bod-
ies were worn with grief and anxiety
and sank quickly to slumber. Jesus re-
eotntized their weakness, but commended
the good that was in them.
42. the second time—His going the sec-
ond and third times shows how great
was the burden, and his intense earnest-
ness and perseverance. Christ's prayer
was answered, and answered in the same
ways that God answers our prayers. The
angel strengthening him (Luke) was a
direct answer. What an example is this
to us! If it wee necessary for Christ
to pray three times, how many times
ought we to pray! 43. their eyes were
heavy—They could not keep them open;
they were not able to resist drowsiness.
Mark tells us that they knew not what
to answer hint when be aroused them
from their slumbers. They had no ex-
cuse to offer. "It is a sad thing for the
church to be sleeping while Christ is
suffering and praying." 44. the same
words—Not that Jesus merely repeated
the same words each time, but these
words were the substance of his prayer.
This prayer is ''aa model of (1) earnest-
ness, (2) directness, (3) perseverance,
(41. faith, (5) submission.'
III—Jesus betrayed (vs. 45-56). 45.
sleep on .now—Jesus had gained the vic-
tory. The hour for watching was over
and now they could take their rest.
There was now, probably, a short period
of time before the coming of the trait-
or. Rut Jesus was on the •alert and
when he heard the approaching multi-
tude and saw the lanterns and torches
he aroused the sleepers. 46. let us be
going -To meet Judas and the soldiers.
Jesus is ready; without hesitancy lie
turns his face toward the terrible suf-
ferings of the. cross.
47-56. A great multitude composed of
a• detachment of the Roman cohort sta-
tioned in the Castle Antonia (John 18:3,
12, the band), of the Jewish temple-
watch (Luke 12:52, the oaptains,of the
temple) ; of others, including servants
and dependents of the high priest (v.
I1), and, in all probability, some fanati-
cal chief priests and elders also (Luke
22:52), who wished to witness the cap-
Lure.—Schaff'•. It was a time of intense
oxcitemont. The. Jewish leaders, who
hated Jesus, knew that they were deal-
ing with no ordinary man. They had
seen sufficient displays of his power to
convince them that it was no email mat-
ter to arrest ham and retain him as a
prisoner, Hence the crowd that came
out was aformidable One, armed as if
they feared great resistance. Judas was
carrying out Ids part of the agreement
which he hada made with the chief
priests. His perfidy 'is. manifested I'n
the sign by which lie .pointed out Jesus.
A German .writer • 11at3 said:. "Wouldst
thou know 'what Satan can do and God
Can suffer—what the basest of mankind
lean commit and the best of mankind
can hear? Behold the lips of Judas who
kisses, and the cheek of Jesus who re-
ceives the kiss," Note again the sahlta-
tion of 'Judas: "Hail, Master," as 11 he
would have it understood that he was.
stil loyal to Christ. The term "friend,"
by which Jesus addressed his betrayer,
has in it the idea expressed ley the word
"companion,"
or associate,' for Jesus
well knew the falseness of,Judas' greet-
ing, r\lyd )roto diete1y' accused hhn of be-
ing his betrayer.
Peter's attempted defence of Jesus
by smiting with the sword the high
priest's servant was charactrrist]e of the
man. At the moment he thought that
was the proper thing to do, but ,Tesus
healed the wound that Peter had inflict-
ed and administered a reproof. }Ie eenld
call to his aid twelve legion.: of angels
if he chose instead of'having twelve men,
uncertain and unreliable, tie a body-
guard, If Jesus had desired he could
readily' have resisted the mob and c ee'ap-
ed them, but the hour lied corne in which
he was to be "delivered into the hands of
men" The words, "Then all the dieei-
pies forsook him, and fled." are pathetic
indeed. The men who had been his fol-
lowers, and who were deeply devoted
to him, forsook him in the trying hour
and he was left alone with his enemies.
Questions Where had .}esus and his
disciples spent the early part of the
evening? Where did Jesus go to pray?
How did he arrange his disciples? Why
was Christ sorrowful'? What was bis
prayer? `,\•'hat does he mean be asking
that "this cup" night. pats';' Why did
the disciples need to watch and pray?
Why did they sleep? Who caro;, with
Judas to arrest Je ue? "Why did Judas
kiss ,Tern'?

"It was in the latter end of the
year 1908 that a nastyitch came
through my skin, and 1scratched it
until I tore the flesh. I tried several
ointments to no effect. I went to a
skin hospital. They advised me to
go to the — Hospital, but I re-
fused. I could not sleep with tho
consta.rt itch. 1 was that way until
on o-. about the month of January.
One day I chanced to see in the papers
a ca a like mine, but I gave it no
crest,.nce. At last I said, I will try
thy. Cuticura Remedies.' With the
Sr, wash and Cuticura Ointment I
wed, I found their effects. I got
one box of the Ointment more, and
in less than one week the sarin was all
