HOW OUR UNIVERSITIES EN-
COURAGE GAMBLING.

In order that the present epidemic of
betting, and the increase of the more de-.
moralizing forms of gambling, may be
effectually checked, something more is
needed than even vigorous legal quar-
antine of community against the
sources of this moral contagion. l have
it on good authority that children have
been taught to play policy on their way
to and from the public school. Some
primary lessons in the ethics of betting
might form a profitable part of the edu-
cation which the State provides for the
children of the people. The preparatory
schools and colleges also have made
large contributions to the practice of
betting through their athletic games.
Our leading universities in this respect
have moral obligations to discharge to
the community which they seem singu-
larly backward in fulfilling; that univer.
sity which shall be the first to find it's
voice on this subject. and to speak with
something of the old time moral power
which formerly characterized our New
England colleges. will find the reward of
its moral courage in the responses which
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-04-27

it will awaken in the conscience of the
whole country. But. as matters stand,
our colleges and universities, by their
silence and inaction in this respect, seem
to be contributing, indirectly il not d.
rectIy, to one of the most ruinous habits
prevalent among the youth of the land.
Our colleges owe it to themselves, and
to the youth of the country, as well as
to their most loyal alumni and friends
to become at once professionals and re-
formers in this field. No possible ma
terial prosperity can compensate for the
loss of moral tone and vigor at our great
educational centres. 1t would not be
profitable il any New England college
should gain whole world Of wealth, en-
dowments, and students, and lose its
own soul. Admiration for our modern
Hercules becomes questionable when it
tempts the higher education to serve the
spectacular. The growing demand,
therefore, of the community upon our
colleges for plain speaking and effective
teaching concerning the ethics of bet
ting, accompanied by some restrictive
discipline, is demand justified by the
facts in the case. The press, likewise,
and the pulpit may be instrumental in
provoking a much-needed and effective
popular discussion of gambling, es-
pecially in it's local forms and immuni-
ties.-Rev. DR.. Nescmdn Smyth, IN the
april Forum.

and the wine he took his disciples into
spiritual union with himself.
He thus established the method of re-
membrance and communion. "They felt"
says Dean Stanley, "that he was going to
leave them; he made them feel that he
would still be with them. 1t was the me-
mortal of his death, but it was also to be a
pledge of his life. Christ's own inmost
self would remain always the life and soul
of the Church and of the world"
rs oft as ye eat this bread and drink the
cup, said the apostle Paul, ye proclaim tile
Lords death HUAe come. The Supper is
the memorial of his death he himself insti-
tuted. 1t is simple, inexpensive, without
visible magniicance; it is an overcoming
appeal to the heart.

"The Lords Supper" says Lyman ABB
bott, "is prophecy as well as parable;
it has a future as well as commemorative
aspect; it looks back to the passover, and
forward to the marriage supper of the
Lamb. AS the Lords Supper superseded
the passover, SO the Heavenly Supper will
supersede the earthly memorial"

The Divine Wisdom of the Supper.-By insti-
tuting the Lords Supper, Jesus showed his faith
that the association founded by himself would
tinue to exist, held together, indeed, by his very
death assurance which explains the divine cheer

John. Whatever there is of elevation in pity, of
pathos in sorrow and of pure affection in love, is

The Agony in Gethsemane.
INTRODUCTION.
MARK "a: 3s-4a.

The contrast between the exaltation
of the Last Supper, and the abyss of woe
in Gethsemane, is striking indeed, and it
is alleged by directors that other martys
have exhibited greater measure of forti-
tude. Such critics lose sight of the fact
that fortitude does not consist in meeting
suffering without sensibility, but in spite
of it, and that the largest and deepest ma
lures rise the highest and sink the lowest
through the range of bliss and woe. Sus-
ceptibility to pain is in the exact proper
ton to the wealth, abundance and fineness
of the material it consumes. An Ameri-
can savage would meet death by slow tor
ture almost without emotion, because his
nature lies proximate to the animal. But
the American savage would Judge very
poorly of the anguish whose nerves ran
not through the animal tissues alone, but
through the textures of a humanity so an
gelic and divine that its sympathes drew
up into itself the sufferings of race
The alternative is now upon Jesus in
more awful force than in the temptations
of the desert,--the sacrifice on the morrow,
or escape out of Judea. The latter is still
within his choice, for the twelve legions of
angels, if invoked, will guard him invisibly
through the danger and out of it. But the
sacrifice is already chosen, and the anguish
of it is not physical merely. 1t is heart
anguish the most terrible, for his own PEG
pie and nation are to put him to death,
whom he has yearned to gather under the
wings of Mercy, as a bird gathers her
brood, but whose sun has now sunk behind
the thunder-clouds soon to go down in a
sea of blood.-It is one of the benef-
cent and compromising laws of suffering,
that it becomes shorter as it becomes in
tense, and hastens the sufferer into the
sweet refuge of death. The death of the
cross was prolonged agony of days and
weeks in ordinary cases. The robbers
crucifed with Jesus were alive on Friday
evening, and unless the execution had been
FASTENED by other means would have lived
much longer; whereas Jesus expired at the
end of three hours. 1t astonished the in
sensate soldiers, even as the agony in the
garden does the commentators but both
the sufferings of Gethsemane and Calvary
come under the great and merciful law
which governs all suffering ,-that the Life
which is the highest and most finely organ
lied, is most finely rent and lacerated by
it, and for that very reason its organism
soon gives way and refuses to be the inlet
of pain, but shuts it off through the insen
sibility of death. The process began in
the garden, where the sufferer exclaimed
as he fell under it, "My soul is exceedingly
sorrowful, even to the verge of DEATH
and only three hours of agony remained
for the Crosse. II. Sears in "ZHe Heart
of Christ"

LESSON STORY.

At midnight the Last Supper was
finished
During its earlier hours Jesus had been
troubled in spirit. He was entering the
shadow of the cross. But in the later
hours of the Supper his spirit had light
ened. He fused the souls of the disciples
in humility, by washing their feet. The
dissonant Judas, of his own accord, had
gone out into the night. Jesus gave utter
ance to the heart-melting words of which
John has given US the record. The Sup
per closed with an uplifting prayer. Jesus
regained his wonted calm. The disciples
had followed him with intense sympathy
through all his changing moods. When
he said, MY peace .gi1e 7 unto yon, they
shared with him an unearthly tranquility.
At the last the feast had risen to tran
scendent joy.
Then the Teacher led his disciples out
of the city, to the Mount of Olives.
Through one of the eastern gates the
company passed out of the city, and down
the steep sides of the ravine, toward the
brook Kedron. The brook was crossed;
the western slope of Olivet was climbed
for half a mile, when the garden of Geth-
semane was reached.
The name of this enclosure signifies
"The Oil Press" so called doubtless be-
cause lress was there or had been there
located, to crush the olives so abundantly
produced on the hillside. Whether its
friendly owner had proffered its privacy to
Jesus, or whether it was in some sort a
public garden, we can only conjecture. 1t
was an attractive spot, with pleasant
shade of interlaced branches of olive and
pomegranate and fig and myrtle, to offer
welcome seclusion to the Teacher and his
pupils in their hours of rest and prayer.
While on the way, the spell of the feast
had been broken. Because of some fear
or disquiet manifested by his disciples,
Jesus was prompted to say to them sub
stantially as he had said to them before at
the feast: All ye shall be o6eadsd in me
this NIGHT The meaning is, "Ye shall
every one stumble this night" The disci-
Piles were still in heroic mood. Tney with
excessive emphasis protested steadfast-
ness. Jesus grieved and mystifed them
still more by quoting the old Scripture, de-
claring that it was now to have ful6lment:
I sOiU smits the shepherd, and the SHEEP
Of tie f0ek nil be scattered abroad
An indefnable fear took possession of
the disciples. Among the words Jesus
said to them on that night walk, presaging
a great change, the disciples afterwards
recalled these: after am raised Mp, I
zOiX go before jon into GaIilee. To the
ardent Peter, who again professed devo-
ton greater than the others, Jesus repeated
the prophecy he had spoken at the feast,
HeyIb I say unto thee, that this night be-
fore tie cock eyozO, M0n shall deny me
thrice.

With troubled minds and wearied bodies
the company arrived at the entrance to the
garden. Near the entrance Jesus said to
the disciples Sir ye hare, zOkils pray.
He took with him his favorite three, Pc

shadows. 1t was an hour past midnight
