Found No comforters.


III. Again praying, w. 39-42. Again
he passes into the loneliness Of that
midnight hour. Again We hear his tri-
umphant paear of prayer. This time
he returns and finds the disciples
heavy with deep sleep. This is a
fulfllment of Ps. 1920, II looked for
comforters and found none" His
gentle reproach goes unanswered. For
a third time he enters the trial and
returning commands the disciples to
sleep on and take their rest.
There is little doubt that between
his permission sleep on" and the
declaration "It is enough" that the
Savior, in wakeful loneliness,
watched over the sleeping disciples.
At last he reused them for the en-
envy, headed by Judas, were at hand.
Their dearly bought sleep was short
and we can imagine the confusion
caused by the torch-bearing mob. The
Man of sorrows is calm in this hour
after his victory In prayer. The dis
ciples, not likewise strengthened, flee
away.
The Supreme Value Of this story lies
In the effect it may produce upon
each one who comes to know it. To
one it does not speak at all, to an
other, it melts the heart and brings
tears to the eye.
While he felt the sense Of all through
which he was passing, yet he did not
once hesitate, John 1921, %, never
for one moment faltered in his Co
operation with the complete will of
God. Again we are compelled to bow
the head with reverence before his
marvellous patience with the disci-
ples. Nowhere else have we found
record that will surpass this picture,
especially the latter end, as we see
him patiently waiting and watching
while they slept. The words Of the
Psalmist are brought to mind:
Like as a father pitieth His children,
So the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.
For He knoWeth our frame,
He remembereth that we are dust.
Conscious Of his approaching pas
sion, conscious of the strain of the
coming hours of that fateful last day,
halting on the pathway of his sorrows,
he gives his disciples time for repose.
While we contrast his self-sacrif1ce
and their selfishness, yet, when we
study our own lives, we hardly dare
to criticize. We are, however, i'm
pressed with the marvellous privilege
they allowed to slip from them.

The Masters Prayer.

II. Praying, w. s6-3s. The Mas
ter's prayer was in reality a prayer
Of triumph; a prayer which enables
US to apprehend, in part at least, his
suffering and suggestion Of his COM
ing glory. It is easier to appreci-
ate and to understand his prayer
than it is to comprehend his glory.
The resolute abandonment of himself
to the will of his Father is one Of the
awe-inspiring facts~of history.
Jesus asked for this cup, drank it
and passed on to Calvary. In the
midst of his agony he is strength
ened, Luke 22:43 Returning, he
found the three disciples sleeping. Pc
ter, who had made such boastful avow-

sleepest thou. Couldest thou not
watch one hour?" Then addressing
the three, he said, watch, and pray
that ye enter not into temptation;
the spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak" We may understand
the disciples by studying ourselves.
They had not Of course slept through
all of his agony, but more occupied
with their own sorrows than his, they
nodded and slept. Do not our griefs,
our burdens and our sorrows cause US
to sleep while the world about US
perishes? 1t was natural slumber fol-
lowing a strenuous day and evening,

son was today taken to Wichita and It
is stated that he has revealed the name
Of at least one of the men, alleged to
have been employed by representatives
OF the Stewart estate to secure the let
tiers.
Young Stewart was born in Well
ington. His father. John c. Stewart,
came to Sumner county in 1875. He
engaged in the banking and loan BUSH
ness and upon his death nine years
ago had accumulated a fortune val
ued at four million dollars. He was
widely known in Kansas and Okla
homa banking and financial circles
and was reputed to have been the
richest man in Kansas.
Court Of Common Gossip.
To Foster Stewart, however, cash is
seemingly a matter of small concern.
Street gossips tell of riotous living. of
expensive parties, of gay young men
and women who have accompanied
Stewart on his speed mad motor car
trips and helped to transform night
into everlasting day. They tell of the
night a few months ago when Ste
warts big car struck a telephone pole
while being driven at express train
speed and how the car was wrecked
and the occupants narrowly escaped
death. Perhaps a good many of the
stories are exaggerated. Possibly
some of them are untrue. But Ste
warts case is being tried in the court
of common gossip and the jury will
return a verdict long before the white
slavery case against Stewart goes to
trial in Texas.

It would win by making the race
procession from start to finish.

race between the eight cared shells
representing Oxford and Cambridge
universities was given at 2:2O o'clock
this afternoon at Putney Bridge.
Although the Oxford crew had de-
veloped wonderfully since the men ar
rived at Putney for the final training
for today's inter-varsity eight-oared
race on the Thames, Cambridge main
tanned its position as strong favor
lite with the water side critics up to
the start Of the Az mile contest. The
Light Blues had weight on their side
and were uniform and well together.
Their rivals were regarded as some-
what ragged. The course from Put
ney to Mortlake was crowded with
spectators.
