ANALYSIS
I. A CAUSE 01+ OFFENCE, 51-35.
II. THE GARDEN SCENE, 36.16.
INTItODECT10N—It is very notice-
able stow the narrative in the Gospels
becomes so much more detailed 11110 11
00 conte to tho last week at Jerusalem.
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. Yet a third time he returns
to the conflict, and offers the same

New High Commissioner to
London Addresses Closing
Banquet of Royal Society
on "Art and Nationality in
Canada" —Growth of Ex-
hibitions and Music Festi-
vals Shown
Signs of the dawntn; of a new era
in Canadian art were observed by
Icon. 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.

M. tllotta, representing the Swiss
Government signed the agreement
with representatives of the League,
granting exclusive management of
the stations to the 'League, provided
Switzerland has an observer at them,
The agreement stressed the value of
the stations in time of war, assuring
the League secretariat direct com-
munications with all members of the

The agreement was the result of a

Milwaukee, Wis.—If sea gulls aro

Gathered in a diminutive auditorium
at the American Museum of Natural

the screen:

and understandable,
"Snakes are 10 much a part of hu-
