Father. "He was conseious not only
that his hour of agouy was come, but
that that hour was the gate to the
eternal glory with. the Father. Tito light
from beyond shone back even upon this

2, Supper being ended-JDuring sup-
per." -R. V. A better reading is "when
supper was beginuing."-Caut. 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 from
Luke's account that as they teok their
recliuing couches at the table, a strife
arose for precedency, and by this is ex-
plained the washing of the apostles' feet
by Jesus -a. reproof and a lesson on
Inunility and peace."-Whedon. Devil
*having already put (B. r) -The plot to
perform this dastardly deed was no doubt
formed by Judas at the time of the
supper (Matt. 20: 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: d) and e
traitor and would soon betray him with
a kiss into the hands of his murderers;
yet Jesus did not denounce Judas, but
manifested to hint the same kininess
and love he did to the others, lie even
washed his feet, an act that should have
melted the hardest heart. "Well, may
.Astio exclaim: 'Jesus at the feet of the
traitor -what a picture! What lessons
for us.'"-Deds. Come from
Meat to God -By his imarnation Jesus
came from God; by his death and resur-
rection he weet tO Goda-Penteeost
"Christ came from hetteen 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 from
heaven are bound for heaven." 'He came
from God, and yet not leaving him; and
he goeth to God, yet not leaving us,o-
Bernard. ."The consciousness of im-
pending separation leads us all, to try to
put all our love into a bast look, a last
word, a last embrace, which will be re-
tnembered forever. The earthquake of
parting lays bare the seams of gold in
the rock."
II. Jesus washes the disciples' feet (vs.

had taken their places at the table.
laid aside his garments -His outer gar-
ment -a loose, flowing robe which would
hinder his action. girded himself -"The
girdle represents a readinese for ser-
vice. The towel was to complete the
full dress of a servant or slave. A bold
contrast between the Master, evho 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."
6. began to wash -Washing the feel;
on entering a house was customary be-
cause necessary, as medals -were -worn
and the feet would be soiled. This waeh.
ing was a symbolical nat. Jesus per-
formed a humble, menial service that
should have been done by the diseiples,
and in so doing teught them a lesson
in humility and at the same ti te tacitly
rebuked them for their strife as to who
should be the greatest (Luke 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.

PRAM:110"AL APPLICATIONS.
Christ our example in service, is the
key thought of our lesson, Let us fob
low his steps;
I. In loving service. "Haying loved
his own whieli wine in the world, be
loved them unto the end" (v, 1). Be im-
itators ef God -and walk iu. love (Eph.
5. 1, 2). Love is the great incentive to
service. Gad levee and. serves (John 3.
16). Oltrist. loves and saves (Eph.
2.),. When "hie own" follow him their
motto is, "The love of Christ coustrain-
oth us" (2 Cor. 5 14),. His love stops at
nothing. He loved "to the uttermost." (v,
1, R. V.). A father. mother and ohlIS
were caught in a blinding snow -storm.
They lost their way. The cold was bit-
ter. la the distance was the glimmer
et a light in a farmhouse. Mother and
child could go no farther. The busband
went to seek assistance. When be re-
turned he found the child living, but 04
mother dead. In the bitter cold she Ind
%tripped herself to wrap her own gar-
ments around the child. That mother
kited her own unto the end. Divine le•ve
stops at no cost. A refined lady went
to a drunkard's hovel to visit a eiek
woman. She washed the invalid and
eleaned the filthy room. The half -intox-
icated husband watched. as she eared for
his wife and made the room clean, Taavs
gathered in his eyes, and he was led
to Christ.
IL In loyal service. "Jesus knowing
that the -Father had given all things mto
His bands, andethat He was come from
God. and went to God . . beglan to
wesh the disciples' feet" (vs. 3-5). Rev.
William E. Barton says: "We. could
understand the record if it had read.
Jesus remembering that He was humnn
and this was His -hour of humiliation;
Jesus knowing that He was the Son of
Man, Et few months 45 a village carpen-
ter; Jesus knowing that as humanity's
representative He Was. about to be ertl•
eified for sin; Jesus in His human lett-
ere, poured water, girded Himself, and-
wathed Iris disciples' feet. We can ac-
count for it on the ground of Christ's
hunmeity. But it reads, Jesus knowing
that the Father had given all things
into His hands took a basin and a towel.
Jesus knowing that be came from God
became servant of alL Sesus, because
He went to God, washed the disciples'
feet. Jesus chose the slave's piece and
cleansed the soiled feet with His own
holy hands in full consciousness of His
divine glory, and full assurance that He
was God's representative. God's glory is
His unselfish service. Goa lives to serve.
God loves to serve. Now and then man
has served God. Ever and always God
serves Ma.U. God's angels are ministering
spirits (Heb. 1. 14; Pvt. 103: 20,h21.)."
IL In lowly service. "He riseth from
eupper" (v. 4.) Be thought it not a
thing to be grasped at to make himself
equal with Goa (Phil. 2; 0, R. V.) He
etooped to serversd"And laid aside hio
garments" (v. 4.) Re "emptied. himself"
(Phil. 20 7), of the glory he had with
the Father before the world was (John
17; 5.) "And took a towel and girded
Ithnself" (v. 4.) He took upon him the
form of a servant (Phil. 2; 7.) . Years
ago, Laugh Meek, conveeted Chinese,
moved with compassion fot the coolies
in the•South American tnines, sold him-
self /or a sieve for five years, and was
taken to Damarara,, that he might ear-
ry the gospel to his eountrymen. When
he died be had won about two hundred
to Christ. "He pouvoth water Me a
basin, and began to wash the disciples'
feet" (v. 5.) He poured ont his soul
"unto death" (Phil. 2; 8; Let. 53; 12.)
From his riren side "came there out
blood and water" (John 19; 34; 1 John
5; 6.) Blood stands fer redemption
from sins through death (I Pet. 1; 18,
Hi; Rev. 1; 5); water stands for regen-
eration (Tit. 3; 6) and sanctification
(lilph. 5; 20.) "And to wipe them with
the towel wherewith he was girded" (v.
5.) The water typifies cleansing, the
wiping comfort. We sheuld minister to
the comfort of others as well as to their
distress, even at cost to themselves. A
ehaplain in the army, passing over the
field, saw a wounded soldiet lying on
the ground. "Would you like me to
read the Bible?" The wounded matt an,
swered: "I'm so thirsty; I would' ra-
ther have a drink of watee." As quick.

Inhuman Act of Elmsley Township
Farmer.
Brockville, A.pril 20. -The story of
the inhumanity of an Elmsley town-
ship farmer has just come to light here,
the details of which are shocking and
most revolting in theareCepelty.
The man lives about fifteen miles
from here, in the northern part of the
country, He 'had thirteen head. of cet-
tie, eleven cows, two yearlings, two
homes, a colt and one pig. He was
not a prosperous farmer, and not only
was his farm mortgaged, but so was
all his stock. Like many others in
this sectiou, he bad a poor bay crop
last -year, and feed was scarce. A, few
days ago he was in- town,. and when
asked if he was going away laughed
at the idea and denied it.
The next day he and his sister, who
lived with him, left, and. it is said,
have gone to Dakota.
When the holders of the cattle molt -
gage heard that he had gone they
an investigation, which disclosed
one of the most revolting stories of
man's inhumanity to dumb deli/tale
that lute been -heard for many a day.
When they drove to the farm house
there were no si„ans of life about the
One& In one stable they found six
cows lying dead, five more cows and
two heifers on the barn floor. two
horses in another place, • and the colt
and the pig in another. All were dead.
The hodies were little more than skele-
tons, and their protruding bones and em-
aciated forms told the story of the slow
starvation 'that had come to them. Six
of the' cows were lying Xastened in the
stalls, the colt ho.d elintbed into the
granary, evidently in quest of something
to eat, but ef food for any kind of stock
there was not a particle to be found
about the place.
