A GLIMPSE OF JESUS IN \ NEW
LIGHT.

He loved his friends Here was
country home. Its inmates loved their
friend, Jesus They made a feast for
him. They poured out their wealth on
him. He entered into it all just as men
do now He loved lie; lies little
amenities; lies social opportunities.
This picture OF the house OF Simon, OF
the three friends in il, OF the honored
guest, and the people looking on is
worth gazing at long. 1t shows Jesus,
one with men in all their joys, because
he was like men in all his feelings.
The spot that Jesus chose Tor his
last days was Bethany. There he did
his greatest miracle From there he
went TO his greatest earthly pageant.
From it he went TO death From il he
assembled to glory.
Bethany became thus connected with
Jesus bccau>c ui three people who
loved him Service to and love Tor
Jesus made Bethany more honorcd
than any other place in the world.
What contrast between the love Of
this Bethany home and the low mean
ness OF the heart Of Judas. |, made
Jesus even in this hour OF love stern
and sharp and scathing.

VERSE STUDY.

VS.. /. six days before the pass
over" As we reckon days now that
day was Friday, exactly one week be-
fore the Cruciiixion. The Passover"
was the one great occasion in the
whole life OF Jesus, There had been
many passovers, but this one must al
ways be remembered as The. The
Lords Supper came out OF il, and the
next day Jesus died
VS.. is very noticeable one, be-
cause it records the fact OF the pres
ence as a living man Of Lazarus, who
had been dead Weeks had passed
since the scene at the tomb. and he
was still alive We always wonder
what became Of him finally
VS.. g. The story OF very costly
act, done out OF love to Christ Guests
lay on their side on couches, resting
on hand and elbow, with one hand free
to eat. This was a Roman manner.
So the feet would be behind the couch
and not under the table To pour the
balm over the feet and wipe them with
flowing hair was not hard. II was a
lovely service, beautifully done.
Nss. 40. Poor. mean, pcnurious,
grasping covetous Judas Let us think
he had not always been so. The COM
pany had elected him treasurer Handl-
ing open money, easy 10 get at, is to
some souls a snare. Johns estimate
was formed after the death OF Judas.
Perhaps they looked into the condition
OF their treasury after all was over to
find he had stolen all Perhaps he
wanted the ointment sold so as to have
the 200 pence TO make up shortages.
-. 7. Against the day" etc. 1t is
not probable that Mary did her act
because she knew when Jesus was TO
die. But he accepted it as fit anoint-
ing made before death, when he could
enjoy it too, and he put that interpre-
tation on it,
VS.. g. THE poor always Yea,
verify But We are not selling costly
jars OF perfume every day in order to
give to them.
There is nothing more that needs
explanation. What follows is the
natural result Some believed: some
hated. The world has been doing that
ever since,

 Severely Arraigned
 the Prisoner.

Columbus, Ca. Jan. 2o.-(SpeciaL)-- In Muscogee County Superior Court here today, Judge J. H. Martin sen- fenced Wood c. Campbell. slayer or Loxla T. Edwafds, who was on Satur- day convicted of voluntary mansiaugh- ter. to twenty years In penitentiary' the full limit
 In doing so Judge Martin severely ar raigned the defendant and his words created a profound sensation in the court room. He said that Campbell should be very grateful that the jury and his lawyers had done so much for him. He criticized Campbell severely for bringing his wife's name into the trial saying that from the evidence. he was not justified in doing so.
 The Judge said in this connection: "The fair name of . woman is the greatest possession that she has. The purest woman on earth can have a fair name stained by the veriest vagabond if he makes statements that are abso- lutely untrue, as villainous as can be conceived and yet 1t will produce con- viction in the minds of some people,"
 Judge Martin said he thanked God that Campbell did not convince him, tor one, that Mrs. Campbell is not a good. pure woman. Campbell's main defense had been that Edwards tried to invade his home. Campbell was ap- parently not affected by the sentence, but the sight of his children crying brought tears to his eyes.
