THE LESSON STORY.
1. The Feast is Prepared,-vs

1910.
Jesus spent Wednesday of Passover
Week in privacy at Bethany. son Thurs
day the disciples, taking it for granted that
he would celebrate the feast with them,
came to him to receive instructions.
Would he keep it, as he legally might, in
Bethany for the village was counted by
the rabbis part of Jerusalem for religious
usages; the lamb might be eaten in Beth
any, though it must be killed at the Tenn
pie. No doubt the disciples expected that
Bethany would be chosen, for he had sol
emily turned away from Jerusalem two
days before; and to go there again would
be to put himself in the power of his enc
mics. But he had resolved to visit the
city so dear to him once more. 1t was the
place appointed by the Law for the feast,
and he would there be in the midst of the
rejoicing multitudes, as himself son of
Israel. He wished also to throw greater
sacredness over the institution he designed
to inaugurate that night. Turning there
fore to Peter and John, his usual messen-
gers, he told them to go and prepare the
passover, that he and the twelve might eat
together. On entering the city, said he,
you will meet a man bearing an earthen
jar of water; follow him into the house he
enters, ask for the master and say, THE
Teacher told US to ask you, Where is the
room intended for me, in which to eat the
passover with my disciples = And he
himself will show you his guest-chamber,
on the upper floor, provided with couches,
ready for Us. CIT the supper ready for us
there The two started at once, and found
everything as Jesus had said, and by even
ing all was in readiness to receive him and
the ten. The feast could begin immedi-
ately after the setting of the sun and the
appearance of the stars on the opening of
the 18th of Nissan, which was proclaimed
by trumpet blasts from the Temple. -
Geikis.
The sun was nearing the western hori-
zon when Jesus and the disciples descended
once more the Mount of Olives into the
holy city. While passing through the
streets, now thronged with strangers, the
little company would attract but slight at
tention. The Lord and his disciples, in
the tremulous peace which precedes
storm, arrived at the appointed upper
room. Here, in sacred privacy, the twelve
reclined around their Teacher.
2. Jesus is Betrayed by one of
his Twelve,-vs. 1921.
While Mark emphasizes the betrayal of
Jesus at the feast, other incidents need no
less to be noted.

SIDE-LIGHTS.

The Modern Gethsemane.-A square, stone
walled spot, close by the path to Bethany, on the
edge of the Kedron ravine, under the shadow OF
Temple hln is still shown as the spot Venerable
olive trees tended with superstitious care, are
claimed as the very witnesses of our Sayiour's
agony but 1t s fatal to the belief in their age, that
Titus afterwards cut down all the trees round Jeru-

The Strengthening by the Angel.-lf we atten-
lively compare the evangelical accounts, we see that
the strengthening through the angel came in imme-

agonizing one; that in consequence OF 1t the an

good health. The greatest affection Of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 2400 disorders Incl
dent to the human frame, the large
majority arising from the impure or
poisonous condition of the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its loudest
praise. 1t is not what we say but
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
No remedy has ever had SO marked

On Bad Handwriting.

One of the most important things for
boys or girls to learn to do is to write
plainly, SO that those who have to read
what they write are left in no doubt as
to their meaning. Several amusing
stories of the embarrassment which has
followed not learning to write legibly
are told. One of these is a Massachu
setts clergyman who nearly got himself
into peck of trouble because of the bad
quality of his handwriting. 1t was more
than century ago that this clergyman
had occasion to address letter to the
General Court of Massachusetts upon
some subject Of great interest at that
time. When the letter was received the

If the snow had been cleared off i'm

it will, since the ice has hardened, be
a matter of considerable labor. The

The story is recalled by the Boston
Transcript of a young Virginia coun-
try girl dining in that city some years
ago, in the days when DIR. Holmes went
to dinners. Seated next her at table
was homely, little old gentleman,
whose name she did not catch. He
began to talk with her, and asked her
how she passed her time in the country.
'Oh, we read, my father and l." she
said.
What do you read?" asked the little
old man.
well, the 'Autocrat OF the Breakfast
Table for one thing" she answered.
Il should think you would not care
to read that more than once" re-
marked the little old man, in a tone
of slight disparagement.
my father and | may not be judges
of literature" airily said Miss Virginia,
with faint accent or scorn, but when
we get to the end of the Autocrat' we
generally turn back to the beginning
and read it over again"
The little old man smiled at this, and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so disgusted with his tone
concerning the "Autocrat" that she met
him with chilly Indifference.
AS soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
reproachfuily to her: You didn't seem
to find DR.. Holmes as interesting as
hoped"
"Dr. Holmesr shrieked Miss Virginia.

slow was their movement, listening to
the never hurrying tick-tack of the long
pendulum against the wall, it is proba-
BILE that memory, quickened by circum-
stances and environment, supplied to
every mind present a picture of the
old man, as he had often stood before
them.
A careful turn of the front door latch
so slight click as to be scarcely dis
cernible, came at this moment, as the
clank Of a sledge-hammer, turning all
heads with a common impulse toward
the slowly opening door, into which
limped a tall, muflled figure, that
seemed to the startled eyes Of the
company to reach quite to the ceiling.
Those sitting near the door started
back In terror at the apparition, and all
were on their feet in moment.
But having entered, the figure stood
still Just within the door. And before
there was time for action or question,
even, a bundle of old wraps had fallen
and the old man Prophet, bearing in his
arms a golden-haired cherub of about
two years, stood in the presence of the
company.
The revulsion Of feeling, indescriba-
Die by words, was quickly told by fast
flowing tears. Looking upon the old

I ment discern the faces he knew and

the glare, hid her face in his hair, 1t
was as if time had turned back, so per-
feet a restoration was the picture of
a familiar one of the old days. No
word had yet been spoken, and the
ticking of the great clock and the
cracking fire mingled with sobs
were the only sounds that broke the
stiffness, when the old man, having
gotten his bearing, walked directly
UP to old Mrs. Meredith and laid the
child in her arms. Then, losing no
time but, pointing to the clock that
was slowly nearing the hour, he said,
in a voice tremulus with emotion:
de time is most here. Is you all
ready to shek hands? Eff you is
everybody-turn round and come with
me-"
AS he spoke, he turned back to the
still open door, and before those who
had followed had taken in his full
meaning, he had drawn into the room
a slim, shrinking figure, and little May
Day Meredith, pale, frightened and
weather-beaten, stood before them!

first to grasp her hand, and if he car

fectionate greetings came later in their
proper order. The striking of the
great clock now, mingled with the
sound of joy and of weeping-the con-
gratulations, handshaling and words
of praise fervently uttered-made a
scene ever to be held dear in the annals
of Simpkinsville. A scene beyond
words of description-a family meeting
which even lifetime friends recognized
as too sacred for their eyes and hur-
ried, weeping, away.
1t was when the memorable, sad,
joyous party was over, that Prophet,
following old man McMonigle out,
called him aside for moment. Then
putting into his hands a small object,
he said in q tremulous voice:
