protested friend of Christ was utterly shameful
and heartle5s under the circumstances.
What was the use Of amounting or embalm-
ing2 1t was to preserve the body. Thus by
some process eorpses have been kept in good
state for thousands of years. So would Mary
embalm our Savior, that his body might remain
for the longest time without corruptiOn-in a
state of preservation. To return that kindness
so well intended Christ has embalmed the
memory Of Mary. She shall live in all ages.
That very act of amounting Christ as an ex-
preston of her wish his body when deceased
might be kept preserved is made to be a means
of forever keeping the name of Mary and her
amounting of Christ fresh to mortal minds.
Even more-sball not the memory of that oc-
currence be eternal2 Indeed, it shall be for
ever memorial to Mary.

2. Time.

This amounting took place on Saturday even
ing, March Is, A. D. %. By Jewish reckoning,
according to which days began at o'clock
evenings the incident occurred on their Sun
day. Only four days interviewed between
Mary's lovely act and the crueifers' horrid
cruelty. The burial, referred to in st. Matthew
". 12), st. Mark (Y 81, and st. John (V.7), took
place on Friday evening. (St. Matt, 81: 80, CO.,
The event happened 1860 years ago. and we
see how the prophecy of Christ has been full
filed to the effect that this incident would be
told always and everywhere. (See ST. Matt,
26:13A

7. Opinions as 70 the Merit of the Act.

A serious discussion sprang up as to the pru-
dence of Mary's act. 1t was thought by some
that the 800 pence could have been put to much
better use. Reading the accounts, we may say
that the difference of views as to the propriety
of Mary's deed lies between Jesus and Judas
We may be sure that Christ was right. He took
the part of Mary. a word of rebuke from q

There are three accounts 1. That by st.
Matthew, (2G: 613.) 2. By st. Mark, (14:3-9.l
3. By st. John, (12:2-9 11:2.) St. Luke failed
to mention this incident. One finds great profit
if he study all the data SITS. Matthew and
Mark wrote at Rome, A. D. 63, or 81 years after
the facts occurred which they reported. st.
John wrote at Ephesus, A. D. 81, or sc years
after the amounting.

3. HHere.

The amounting took place in Bethany, the
home Of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Bethany
is village two miles east from Jerusalem, the
Mt of Olives intervening. The scene of our
study was the dining-room of the home OF
Simon the leper. That place was distant only
about three miles from Christ's place of burial.

6. The Act.

While our Savior was reclining at the table
of Simon, after the Oriental manner, which re-
sembled lying posture much as one assumes
when extended on lounge or couch, Mary,
the sister of Lazarus, approached him, bearing
vessel containing one pound of very choicely-
perfumed ointment. She could easily reach
his feet extended as they were out into the
room after the manner of person reclining.
Mary was joint guest. First she anointed
his feet having wiped from them the dust.
Sandals were then worn, and the feet would
become much soiled in the streets. Hence a
prime duty of hospitality was the furnishing
of facilities for cleaning the feet. Doubtless
Christs feet had been thus washed before his
entrance into the dining-room. There would
be call, therefore, for simply wiping them first
before applying the ointment. She also an
onted his head. For spreading the perfume
over the feet and for its more thorough appli-
cation she used her own long, flowing hair. 1t
was a beautiful act 1t is clear that Mary had,
with her quick, womsnly instincts, caught the
idea Christ was soon to die. He had been
much to her. He had restored her brother to
life after a four-days' burial He had fire.

him greatly, and could not let him go without
manifesting her depth of affection.
