The sixteenth chapter of John as
closes Jesus concluding his private
pre- passion conference with his as
ciples. He knew Gethsemane await
ed him and that he was to be crucl-
fed the next morning. Under the
shadow of the cross his words Were
tender, burning and OF age long I'M

return, warned them to expect perSe-
cution on his account. aff1rmed ms
mastery of the world thereby securing
like victory for them and bade them
be of good cheer.
The great message of this chapter
was ELECTED by the sorrow which NIL

wicked world.
That the way might be opened Tor

became expedient for his followers;
While his presence and ministry mao
been limited and local. that of the
spirit would be universal and omnI-
present. AS another comforter ne
would be to them all that jesus Hao
