presence OF a multitude. They feared the
people. In many other cases OF persons III
favor with the public the arrest has been so
arranged as to aV"ld puhHcltY.
Y. B. Now another company travels the
same road. The Roman authorities have no
doubt had an exaggerated account given OF
the danger from this rival to Cesar, and a
band or cohort-the tenth part OF n legion as
We would say, company is sent. Accom-
panying them are the "otiicerS" Of the Jewish
authorities to represent the prosecutors of
Christ and see that the arrest was rightly
made In Acts xiii, %, we have similar
military arrangement. The party is pro-
vided with lanterns and torches ON the as
sumption that Jesus may hide among the
trees

profitable for all things-safety of the whole
man Is secured IN the way OF obedience Jesus
thinks of such things as they affect His dis
ciples. They had little enough courage when
free. How would it have been had they been
seized! Probably on this second avowal of
