Laaarua publlcjy made for him a feast
' w-i-nt. It was at this feast
the love of Mary, and tne selfishness of
Judaa came Into violent contrast. -
JV. Jesua was now ready for the end.
He had spoken a farewell to the scenes
ml ui. eaxiy ministry la Galilee. He
turned his face not only toward Jerusa
lem but toward the temple where hla
foes sat enthroned (John xlt: 12-26).
H would make his entrance aa publlo
und aa ostentatious as possible. The
time had come when no one rightly dis
posed would misunderstand his Messi
anic claims. . He would today assert
them through ths welcome accorded him
by ihe people Ha jrould enter the city
of his earthly-ancestry as the heir' of
more man uavioio homage.
V. But after that excltme nit hole.
terous day waa passed Jesus retired to
the solitude Of an upper chamber, where
he might enjoy a tender farewell Inter
view with those who had been most
faithful (John sill:- 1-14). . Gathering
about him these few. he waa distressed
te. find them wrangling over points of
precedence.Glrdlnghimself . withthe
Daage or a servant, he fulfilled such
Jowly offices as shamed them irao
silence, and taught bis-followers foieter
mat ne stands highest In the divine re
gard who stoops lowest for the good of
ma lenow men. -. - .
. VI. But how shall Uiose who are soon
to be left obtain the power to live the
lire ne enjoins T It can only come by
their spiritual union with himself (John
xv: -2.-12).- They cart only have the
same life by letting it flow from him.
The vine and the branches hare , but
one. life between them.- That does' not
come from Ihe twigs but from the trunk.
They who are by faith united to him
will not fail. No others ean hope to
succeed. And tnose who do not produce
fruit, like worthless wood upon a- pre
cious root, must be destroyed. ; "
VII. It is sweet to remember that
Jesus not only admonishes hla dlscjples.
nut ne prays ror tnem. ; how many a
father thinks he has discharged parental
duty when he gives his children good
advice, or the mother, when he or she
has scolded her boisterous flock! .But
Jesus carried the wants and weaknesses
of his disciples to the . throne of ihe
Father (John xvll: 1S-29). He seeks for
thnm guidance, strength, fidelity, vic
tory. He would not have them removed
from the possibility of temptation, but
he would have, them surmount it. JP
VlII. We are not taken to Gethse
mane in. this . series of Jejsons, but
after the hour "in the garden cornea the
trial before Pilate (John xvlll:' 2S-40).
The bravest man Ift the world appears to
be Judged by the most Cowardly; the
trufst standa before the most truckling.
We have a good illustration here- how
far a polireoh may be driven. Few bad
men 'mean to be as bed as they become,
but-other men.-reallalng their -timidity,
drive them on ta careens In which
they have, no Interest and from which
they cannot recede. - The wickedest" men

told by all the evangelists in muqh the
same Words. In wholly the same spirit
(John xlx.17-10). - John snakes no at
tempt td exaggerate Its dreadful real
ities. But that which stands out in
bold relief here Is the fidelity of the
women who followed to Calvary, and the
loyalty of the disciple who received thr
widowed and heart-broken mother to Ms
Ln home. In the foreground or the
scene where, Pilate and the rulers are,
cursing one another and Judaa Is hasten
ing to suicide, how beautiful the serene
eaorlflce. the submissive aoqutesesnoe of
Mary and the loyalty of the one disctine
woo. stands beside tne cross ;
XThen comes the resurrection
(John alx:17-0). To all the wonderful
story of our Lord's life it Is the only nt
-climax, and still It Is ens which it waa
most difficult for his disciples to accept
In order that the fact might be moat
conclusively shown., Jesus- repeated "nis
appearances,now addressing ins wep-ine-
women In the ararden where Waa the
e mpty ' tomb, - - now-walking- with - Jibe
alarmed and . doubtful friends - going

last act of grace whlch.maaa or tne
hitherto trembling disciples a body of
aggressive saints. "Before the resurrec
tion their future was unoertaln. After
It. their fidelity never wavered, their
courage never failed. i
XI. The series of these lessons closes
with two taken from St. John'a book of
the revelation (Rev. 1:10-20; xxll.l-I)
a salutation and a farewell. - We are
thue -shown eomethlng of that beautiful
city, which is prepared for those who
"overcome, .The life which comes deep-
irir down out of darkness. and flings it

we are subject to many vicissitudes, to
many falls. i Here our Lord must speaa
even io his chosen churches some, words
of painful reproof and threatening ad
monition. But at last-comes calm. At
last eomes the life across which no cloud
drifts. We have followed Jesus from
the manger to the throne. We will
serve him and then reign with him,-
