 Berlin, Feb. s-Serious complica- tions may result from the hurried visit here of Rt. Honorable R. B. Hal dane the British war minister. and Admiral Lord Beresford. according to the general belief in diplomatic cir cIes. TheIr hurried departure from London following the wave of 1ndIg- nation that is now sweeping England because of the sentencing to impr1son- nent of Bertrand Stewart, an Eng fish lawyer. convicted of espionage, was believed to indicate that they came here to personally investigate the conviction and to intercede with Inc Kaiser to discharge the accused.
 Today, Haldane positively denied this but his denial was promptly ac- cepted as a diplomatic one and his every movement was closely watched.
 Relations between Germany ana England are still very formally diplo- Tnatic. The general feeling of dis trust here because of Great Britain interference in the Moroccan situa- ton to aid France has neither been forgotten nor forgiven. There is conviction throughout Germany that the punishment of Stewart was mer- tied and, if anything, was lenfent-

No literature has n more terrible
story than that OF Judas. Matthew
gives us perhaps the fullest recount
Of his last acts and the part he had in
those final hours of the suffering and
death of Jesus.
Mary's act Of amounting, by Jesus
commended, and by Judas condemned,
caused the latter to fare forth for his
final act OF faithless infamy. Con.
trasted with the odor OF her good deed,
we here have the stencil of an evil
deed.
l.. The Bargain, w 1925. ~ The
Price, w. 1416. Disappointed in his
hopes that Jesus would establish an
earthly Kingdom wherein he should
hold a high position, stung by the re.
buke of w. 1913 (cf. John 12:4.S) and
moved by cupidity, Judas hurries to
the enemies OF Jesus (see John 10:
27). He saw nc further opportunity
to profit through holding the bag"
John 1928, and so got what he could

enteen or nineteen dollars, or the
value of a slave; see Elk. 21:22 and
Phil. 81, also the prophecy OF Zechar-
lah 11:12-13. Hate, envy, disappointed
ambition, and cupidity drove Judas
with relentlessness in his final act OF
lnfamy. Verify, Whatsoever a mar
soweth. that shall he also reap" Gal.
ST.. (2) The Penalty, w. 17-25. As
we read the various accounts of that
tragic last night we note that being
warned and singled from among the
other disciples in no wise moved Judas
to repentance. The conspiracy, see
Matt. 26:1-5, 1916, had been consum-
mated before that last meeting in the
upper room.
