death, and human enough to be blinded


with which the pain of the cross was not
to be compared because it was so great,
and vet lie went on. The world has never
seen such IL conqucror as the Son OF God,
"who died that we might live"
III. HIS FACE IN THE DUST.
Matt. XVI: 3G-30-"Then cometh JcsuG
with them unto a. place called Gethsemane.
and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here,
while go and pray yonder. And lie took
with Him Peter and the two sons OF Zebe-
dee, and began to be sorrowful and very
heavy. Then saith He unto them, My soul
is exceeding sorrowful, even unto DEATH
tarry We here and watch with Nc. And
He went little farther, and fell on His
face and prayed, saying: Oh, My Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me;
nevertheless, not as | will, but as Thou
wilt"
In the thirticth verse we read that when
they had sang an hymn they went out.
How simple, and yet how profound the
meaning!
There never had been ouch a golng-out
before; there never has been such going
out since. From the supper He made Ills
way with the faithful few to Gethsemanc,
where the agony was so great that Gethse'
name has stood for suffering ever since.
Oh My Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from Me!' l wonder why
the cry? Some one has said it was be
cause lie was about to be branded as
sinner, treated as sinner, put to death as
sinner, and it was His horror OF SIN that
wrung the cry from His soul. Yet we have
trfled with it, and sin has always been
the same, is to-day, and shall be till the
end of time.
