Same.
The lesson for Sunday, November 0,
may be foand In Luke 23: 1-l2.
INTRODUCTORY.
Rome had part in all that was going
on in the world eighteen hundred years
ago She participated in that transac-
tioD at Calvary. In the lesson before
us we have glimpse of Roman court
scene, and at the same time hint as to
the wide.reaching significance Of the
mission of Christ
WHAT TIE LESSON SAYS.
The whole multitude. Properly tho
whole number, /. G., the full assembly.
See same expression is to be found at
Acts 10: 80, OF the whole church. This
act was of sufficient unanimity and Inn
portance to adjourn the entire conclave.
-Pilate. Sixth Procurator of Judea.
They must get his consent as the repre-
sentative OF Rome.
Began to accuse. To bring a public
accusation. Naturally 1t must be such
as Plate would hear-This fellow.
Indication of -Perverting

Sumably to revolt; very artful charge

Tribute to Caesar. Another appeal to
Imperial self-interest. There was no
ground for it.-Christ, a king. The
word king is thrown in to explain the

This is private dialogue between Christ
and Plate John 1S: 33). Christ's affirma-
tion suggests this.
Then said Plate. This formal re-
sponse ought to have set Christ at lib
srty. But the Jews persist.-I find.

stronger, put on more power. er.-Stirreth
mp. The word means to shake up, as Of
q violent agitation. on.-Throughout all
Jewry, or Judea. They desire to give
his work the appearance of revolution.
PLATE had had trouble with
the Galileans. They possibly mean to
intimate more bad feeling brewing.
WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES.
And the whole multitude OF them arose
and led him unto Plate. Yes, we were
all there, and we all had a part The
high priest who condemned him, the Scr
want of the high priest who held him,
The ribald crowd that smote him, and at
half persuaded of his innocence, and the
priest who, wishing not to injurc his
chances Of preferment, stood silent by

learts condemn us and tell us that our

He stirreth up the people. 1t was
poken in half sincerity. They paused
My to condemn him. But il was for
kcm terribly true, as they subsequently
ound. They thought that il but his

Herod saw Jesus. And he will see him

Oming q day when the scene shall be
eversed, and the Son of man on tho

What shen? In that first interview
Ierod did the questioning, laughing
