tHry on the Lesson.

12. "The first day of unleavened bread,
when they killed the passover" The last day
on earth in a mortal body had come; this
night He would keep the passover with His
disciples, and on the morrow be crucified-
Christ our passover sacrificed for us Il Cor.
", 0-and He went forward calmly, un-
waveringly, knowing every step Of the way
beforehand. It was over fourteen hundred
years since the first passover was kept that
night In Egypt, when by the blood of a lamb
the first born Of Israel were saved from death
and the nation brought forth from their
bondage by the outstretched arm Of Jeho-
vah, and now the Lamb of God to whom
every sacrifice from the beginning pointed is
about to be slain, whose blood saves from
eternal death all to whom it is applied and
who shall yet accomplish for Israel greater
dcliverance than that from Egypt. We can
not think Of His emitting single passover
feast since first He went up to Jerusalem with
Joseph and Mary at the age Of IL, when He
uttered His first recorded words: "Wist ye
ness Fait6fus did Hs gsspE EstAffEs 3 fEEss sS. Si.
ness, not seeking His own will or glory, but
IN all things pleasing the Father, and soon we
finished the work which Thou gavest me to
do" As we go forward finishing the work
which He gives US to do, let us cheerfully and
Perslstentiy renounce our own will in all
wilt Thou, what wilt Thous'
13. He sendeth forth two of His disci-
pies" just as when He wanted the ass's
colt tchap. XII, ~, but this time we know
whom He sent, for Lu. xxi, g. says it was
Peter and John; He may have sent the same
two on the previous occasion, but we are not
told He sendeth whom He will, and where
He will, and every disciple is expected to be
ready and promptly obey willing to be sent
anywhere, and just as willing to be passed
by and see another sent the last is sonitimes
the hardest.
'Go We into the city, and there shall meet
you a man bearing n pitcher of water; fol-
low him. All things are naked and open to
His eyes. He is acquainted with all our
Der this
Ia. THE Master saith, where is the guest
chamber where shall eat the passover with
Ny disciples" What aprivilege to prepare
room for Jesus and welcome Him and His
disciples to it; what privilege to let Him
have the use Of anything that we have, but
how slow we are to see it.
10 He will show you a large upper room
forn'snsd fur ll and prepared there make ready
and willing service; he did not do us little as
ne could; he did not say, Well If l give. the
use of Il room that is all He can expect of me.
omt, IKE Mary, I'm the previous lesson, he did
all that he could, he gave furnished and
Tor us; unless we cheerfully place oil we are
and have at His service it is a proof that we
donot know or appreciate His love to us.
10. His disciples went forth and came
inoo III tHe cl9y, ana round as lie had said unto
them; and they made ready the passover"
When we obey Him we will always find it
Just as He, gays; there is nothing SO safe and
snrez and glorious as believing and obeying
God III we are willing and obeciient we shall
esthe good of the land lisa. l., 1Y. He has
pep1Zed for us passover ard invites us to
come Under the shelter of His blood and con-
stantly parteke of Himself, saying unto us:
!. 1e that eateth Me, even he shall live by
