LESSON IV. --APRIL 26, xeo8.
Jesus Teaches Humility. -John se: i -2o.
Print John r3: x -t5.
• Commentary, -I. At the supper table
(vs. 1-3). 1. Before the feast --may were
in .the upper roan which had been given
them for the occasion (Luke 22: 12),
but the supper had not yet been served
Jesus knowing (R. V.) -He was fully
conscious of his approaching agony end
death. Should depart, etc. ---Death is
referred to as though it were merely
taking a journey from this forld to the
Father.. "lie was conscious not only
that his hour of agony was come, but
that that hour was the gate to the
eternal glory with the Father. The light
from beyond shone back even upon this
dreadful hour." 'Itis entire passion and
ascension are included in thin departure,
as taking place in this one, hour." --
Witedon. Having loved. his own--. His
own were those who had chosen him as
their Saviour and guide, and whom lie
had chosen to carry out his plans. in
the world -They were to continue in the
world, confronted with its. troubles and
difficulties, after he had left them.
Loved. them unto the eud---1. To the
uttermost limit of Iove (R. V., margin).
2. With a love without end. "God's love
never changes, never ceases, any more
than the sun ceases to shine, although
men may hide in eaves and dungeons
from its light."
2. Supper being ended --`During sup-
per.' -R. V. A better reading is "when
supper was beginning." ---Cam. Bib, It
was customary to wash the feet before
sitting down to a meal. As there was
no servant the disciples should have done
this for each other as well as for their
divine Master; but 'it appears front
Luke's account that as they took their
reclining couches at the table, a strife
arose for precsedeney, and by this is ex-
plained the washing of the apostles' feet
by Jesus -•-a reproof and a lesson on
humility and peace."---Whedon. Devil
having already put (11. V.) -The plot to
perform this dastardly deed was no doubt
formed by Judas at the time of the
supper (Matt. 26: 14), five days before
this. 3. Jesus knowing --The condescen-
sion, humility and infinite love of Jesus
is here brought out in bold relief. He
knew he was the Divine Son of God,
possessed with all power and authority,
the King of glory,, and he knew that
Judas was a thief (John 12: 6) and a
,traitor and would soon betray him with
a kiss into the hands of his murderers;
yet Jesus did not denounce Judas, but
manifested to. him the same kindness
and love he did to the others. Ile even
washed his feet, an' act that should have
e hardest heart. "Well, may
aim: 'Jesus at the feet of the
alto -what a picture! What lessons
for us"—Dods. Come from
went to God ---By his incarnation Jesus
came from God; by his death and resur-
rection he went to God. -Pentecost.
"Christ came from heaven to bring God
to us. He went to heaven to bring us
to God. That which comes from God
shall go to God; they that are born fres
heaven are bound for heaven." 'He came
from God, and yet not leaving him; and
he goeth to God, yet not leaving us." ----
Bernard. "The consciousness of im-
pending separation leads us all to try to
put all: our love into a. last look, a last
Word, a last embrace, which will be re-
membered forever. The earthquake of
parting lays bare the seams of gold in
the rock."
II. Jesus washes the disciples' feet (vs.
4, 6).

ment -a loose, flowing robe which world

girdle represents a readiness for ser-
vice. The towel was to complete the
full dress of a servant or slave. A bold
contrast between the Master, who was
about to enter into glory, and the aspir-
ing disciples, who were too lofty to wash
each others' feet and were anxious about
their stations in life."
5: began to wash -Washing the feet
on entering a house was customary be-
cause necessary, as sandals were worn
and the feet would be soiled. This wash.
ing was a symbolical act. Jesus per-
formed. a humble, menial service that
should have been done by the disciples,
and in so doing taught them a lesson
in humility and at the same time tacitly
rebuked thein for their strife as to who
should be the greatest (Luka 22:24).
It should be remembered that according
to the custom of that time they reclin-
ed at the table with their feet extended
away from the table and not under it.

to have allowed Jesus to wash their feet

man from Colorado, and it dawned upoi
him that to secure his name and so

and when Barney, returned to hie Color-

While prospecting the German noble-
man came acres, veins of copper. whirl,

Barnes, an experienced mining promot-
er,organized the Cottonwood Creek

was avoided by Baron Speck von Stern-

Suddenly the Count announced to his
friends his connection with the new cop-

of him not to use the family name on
mining stock literature. He agreed to s
do this. However, $70,000 shares of le
stock in the new company were taken t
