 One significant and timely deed 1if- ted this feast to the level of sacra-

 But as may be expected in every hu- man gathering, which of necessity must contain some whose ethical evolution is retarded or stunted, an apple of dis cord was thrown into this feast or love- It came from the very hand that was fiIching from the common purse of the apostles.

THE SUPPER AT BETHANY.


 Jesus had worked His greatest mir acle under the very caves of the ec- clesiastical establishment. It was &C., cepted as a challenge, and steps were immediately taken to compass Ills death His hour not yet having come, the Master retired to Ephrafm, twenty miles away, near to the wilderness or sparsely populated country. There' III company with His disciples, He passed the time in physical and spiritual re cuperation. A price was practically set upon His head, for the chief priests and Pharisees had given notice that if any one knew where He was ne should give information in order that the arrest might be made. With min sled motives of curiosity, admiration, and opposition the people who nad come to Jerusalem in large numbers to attend the Passover made quest Tor Jesus For the time He eclipsed Dotn temple and ceremony. As the days passed they began to say to each other fin their disappointment, '1s It possible He is not coming to the feast at all?
 But when the time was fully come, the Master resolutely set His face toward the slaughter house of the prophets Jerusalem. He was fully cognizant of ali the peril of going to the city at this juncture. It was in this instance that one significant incident ike smart ol light fell across the inky blackness in which His life closed. It was that high and loving courtesy shown Him fin the home in Bethany. They ban aueted Jesus They made a supper In His honor, and in grateful recognition of His merciful deeds.
 In the noblest villa in the suburb of Jerusalem, the table with It's dam ask coverings was set in hollow square, as the custom was. It was surrounded by richly upholstered couches. Shaded lamps cast their full radiance upon tne roodlv scene. Eye, nostril, ear and palate were delighted. Color. frag- rance, music. and viands matched their several organs of sense.
