The Great Sorrow.

We have seen in the lesson on Mary
that Jesus longed for sympathy. He was
seeking to prepare His disciples for the
dread trial that awaited them. but He
foresaw their detection. He knew that
they would all forsake Him and fee.
But this was not His great sorrow. He
knew that after the first shock caused by
His arrest that eleven of those disciples
would return to their allegiance to Him,
and that they would be faithful to Him
unto death. But Judas. poor Judas. he
had yielded to temptation. Satan had
gained possession of him, and he was
lost hopelessly and forever. And this
was the great sorrow as the Master and
His disciples partook of that paschal
supper He knew what was before Him
on the morrow, the loneliness, the shame.
contumely. the agony: all these were
clearly known. And these He could en-
dure, but that Judas. His disciple. chosen
by Him, who had Witnessed His miracles
who had listened to His teachings and
who had felt the hallowed influence OF
His divine life. that he should lift up his
hand against His Lord and go out into
irredeemable darkness; that was the scr.
row that only Christ could know.

The Feast.

IT was the feast of the passover. For
long centuries the paschal lamb had been
slain and together with the bitter herbs
and the unleavened bread 1t had been
eaten. How little they knew the deep
significance Of their feast. How little
thew suspected that they had slain their
last paschal lamb. The antelope had
come The Lamb of God was to take the
place Of all other offerings and to put
an end to all their sacrinces.

and that this was the upper room in
which the disciples were gathered on the
dav of Pentecost. The place was chosen
nv our Lord. 1t was a place prepared
for them by the master OF the house. BY
one NJ those strange occurrences, iucom-
nrehensible to us here, the man had felt
that the room would be needed Tor this
nurnose and he had made ready for their
coming. The preparation was known to
