Just as in the temptation that opened the ministry there came three assaults of the devil, so here also there were the three tines in which he faces the conflict, But be gains a complete victory, and carries back the Marks of assurance and coh- uest. Only, if these disciples look more closely in his face, they will see the drops of blood on his brow, evidences of the intensity of the trial. V. 45.

The movements of Jesus era given very carefully, and we can follow him each day until the fatal ending. This stress laid upon the death la311 not un- intentional The great problem of the early Christians was 11003 they could justify the cross, and defend them- selves against the attacks which were often macre en them because they wor- shipped a Saviour win. had been nailed to the cross. The apostles, however, cane to see that this cross 03110 1114 an object of chance, hut a cause of hope and pride. They found that this death was the way of salvation, so that they gloried in the cross. I. A CAUSE: OF DEFENCE, 31-135. V. 31. 1f we read the accounts given in Luke 22, 31-36, and John 13: 36, along with this passage, we find that the words are given in a slightly dif. ferent order in each case. However, it would seem that Jesus spoke on differ- ent occasions of the danger which awaited the disciples wheih the terrible event of the arrest and crucifixion would take place Christ would be the cause of offence, in so much that they would also forsake him. V. 32. All the Gospels describe the denial of Peter, nor do they try to make any excuse for it, They describe how he 031(0 admitted into the court- house and there denied his 1,ord ;just 11s the cock crew. But the Gospel of John also tells of the restoration of Peter to the former position. There seems to be little doubt that the three questions of John 21: 1.5-17 refer to the three denials, while the same pass- age 'shows how the repentant apostle is restored to his office, "Feed 111y sheep," II. T1114 GARDEN SCENE, 36.46. V, 36. We now approach one of the most impressive scenes in the life of our Lord, whore he passed through a most severe temptation, and seems to struggle against the thought of his impending death. Gethsemane 1e00 a garden which had received its name from an oil press which was there. The tradition- al site is n little on the other side of tate Mount of Olives. 1t was a com- mon meeting place for the disciples of Jesus. Now it is enclosed by a wall and is the resort of many pilgrims from all marts of the world. V. 37. He selects the three disciples who were nearest to 11011 to be his companions. He had taken them at other times, Matt, 17: 1; Mark 5: 37. A feeling of weakness and loneliness cones over Jesus, in such striking con- trast to the confidence of the disciples. The meaning of his sacrifice and the nature of the struggle through which he is to pass now take firm possession of him, and he is appalled as ire draws nearer and nearee to the dread moment. V. 88. In this reference to his soul we see the full humanity of Jesus and his likeness to us in the power of suf- fering. There is the natural shrink- ing from the agony and fate that wait for him, We also note that in the hour of utter loneliness ho asks for the companionship of his disciples, He who was the Saviour of the world, the son of God, is anxious to get help from his friends in his trial. IIe needs the assistance of human sympathy. V. 39, A second wave of sorrow and anguish passes over him. IIe falls on the ground and prays. The darkness increases so that he feels he can scarcely endure this- He asks that the cup may pass. The cup was the symbol of his destiny: and the figure was used by Jesus before, See Matt. 20: 22. V. 40. He returns to the disciples to find that they have not been able to endure this spiritual strain. They have fallen asleep, There is no bitterness in the words which he addresses to then, but there is a gentle warning to remind them how frail human nature is, and how much need there is of con- stant watchfulness, "Watch and pray," V. 42, A second time he returns to pray to his Father that he may receive strength for this ordeal, but this time the battle has lost some of its violence. He realizes that the cup cannot pass, and he is ready to drink it to the dregs. V. 44.

Vincent Massey, former Cana. dial Minister at Washington and re- cently appointed Canadian High Cent- missioner to Great Britain, in an ad- dress on "Art and Nationality in Canada," delivered In Moyse hall um - der the auspices of the Royal Society of Canada. The concluding meeting of the society was presided over by Dr. A. S. Eve, who has just complet- ed this term of presidencya' Sir An- drew lllacplail tendered the speaker a formal vote of thanks. Despite Canada's youth and preoc- cupntioa with material development there is already a marked interest in art. It is surprising to learn, Hon. Mr, Massey said, of the scores of ex- hibitions of pictures now held an- nually throughout the Dominion, m• 10 shear that nine or ten cities are planning the erection of art galleries or museums. In music the growth or interest is widespread, the great nmlsi0 festivals of the western provinces telling their own. story achievement. Likewise in other realms of art, Canadians were envisioning the future before her in this field, the speaker said.

I Snakes to Become Household Pets? New York,—Members o Hite Ameri- can Society of Ichthyologists and I-Ier- p000104ists, i1 convention assembled here, spent the entire afternoon at- tacking the campaign of opprobrium and slander that has been directed against their friend, the snake, since oven the days of Mother, Eve. Gathered in a diminutive auditorium at the American Museum of Natural History, the delegates produced a lit- tle brown box full of venomous rep- tiles and, for an hour 01' s0, to the ut- ter amazement of guests who were not euako conscious, proved that you can tickle a western Diamondback behind the ears without laving to send some- one omeoine scurrying for the whiskey bottle. The show, of course, was put on by the herpetologists, or snake addicts, The ichthyologists, Who go in for fish rather than' reptiles, sat back and watched their brother scientists defy the fangs. The program opened with the shone Mg of a motion picture, taken over a period of years by Miss Grace Olive Wiley. Miss Wiley, who has some-, thing to do with snakes, turtles and alligators in Minneapolis, made a per- sonal appearance with the picture. One of the scenes showed Miss Wiley and her sister sitting before the fire- place playing with a couple of poison- ous timber rattlesnakes. Mies 11'iley's movie showed snakes n shed- ding all manner of things, from d- a 1e ding their skins to eating nightcrawl- ers and taking a bath. The titles of the picture were the significant parts. Such legends as these leaped out from the screen: "Snakes are interesting, likeable and understandable, "Snakes are 10 much a part of hu- man nature as birds and flowers and should be considered as such." "Accurate knowledge dispels fear -- watch these children; they are as fond of snakes as of any other animal be- cause they know they won't bre harm ed."
