 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. ."-Matthew 26:A.
 Following the institution of the memo rial supper Jesus and His disciples sang hymn. and then went out of the city to the Mount of Olives-a distance or perhaps mile. Apparently several im- portant lessons were given the disciples en route. See John 15-17
 Jesus was seeking to impress upon His disciples the fact that they were enter ing great crisis. He quoted the pro- phcy, T will smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered" (zechariah 1S:7) He said plainly that as a result
 they would all be offended-stumbled, amazed. The thing they were not ex- pecting would occur
 St. Peter. confident of his devotion to be true in his case-that even though it should be true of all the others, he was ready to die with the Master. Jesus still insisted that St. Peter was in great danger. He trusted too much to his flesh, not locking to God and prayerfully watch ing against temptation. Indeed, all the disciples joined in the same remonstrance against Jesus accusation How little they knew what trials would come upon them. "SOrrowful Even Unto Death" Arrived at the Garden, Jesus left eight apostles near the entrance to watch, to be on guard against something of which Jesus knew. but which to them seemed most improbable.

One of the nest important events of the day in society is the card party to be given at the Newspaper club this aft ernoon at 3:3O o'clock by Mrs. C. M. Stanley and her committee from the Associated Charities auxiliary. num- Der of tables have been made up for the party, and it promises to be decided sue cess.

Mrs. Margaret Rhodes Mrs. Walter Scott, Mrs Harden Fftts Mrs. W. K Brown and Mrs. James Hine Eddy.

in a spirit pleasing to the Father, and could He, would He, pass through the experiences of the next few hours with proper courage, faith and obedience, or would He fail and lose His all in death?
 Should the Master fail, there was none to make good for Him. Ills failure meant everlasting death, as well as loss of the great privilege of uplifting humanity from sin and death conditions through the Messianic kingdom. In a word, the Masters personal, eternal life was in the balances that night in Gethsemane.
 No wonder He wished that if possible He might be spared from the special trib- ulations and horrible experiences just before him! To One so full of love and loyalty to the Father such experiences would be. terrible-that He should be considered a blasphemer of God, should be crucified as a malefactor, What a terrible experience to one of His re- finement and nobilityi
 Apparently this ignominy was what Jesus prayed might pass away. He knew that He had come into the world to die; for only by His death could the death penalty against humanity be re- moved. St. Paul assures us that the Masters Gethsemane experiences were linked to fear that He would not be &C., counted worthy of that glorious resur- rection promised Him. and declares that He was heard in respect to the thing feared.-Hebrews ST.

 Where did you study and with whom?'' I inquired.
 With Jacobson in Cincinnati" said MT. Klenk; with Schliewien in Indianapolis and later with Marien at the College of Music in Cincinnati"
 Do you consider that Birmingham is making any great strides musically at present." asked.
 "I find decided lack of earnestness on the part of pupils" said MT. Klenk. q don't know whether 1t is climatic or the fault of the parents who do not insist upon practicing as they should, otherwise the musical status is encouraging"
 How do you like playing to the popu- lace-in other words, popular music in the cafes?" I asked.
 Tt is very agreeable and congenial work" said MT. Klenk. We always try to keep up the high standard of our mu- sic, but frequently requests come thai must be met and then we indulge in pop Clar tunes. There is a way, however, oi playing even popular music that is at tractive and makes it better than it really is. We enjoy the many amusing things that happen in the cafe and I can quite appreciate the story that was cold of ths very rich woman who went to Paris 9nc when she was handed the menu card (printed of course, in French), and no knowing the language. confused the mu sical programme with the edibles. and pointing to some selection on the pro- gramme, said to the waiter: -tT will take some of that" "Vee-ry sorry.

 I suggested, ''and it must be very anus ing"

early, they fell asleep, instead of watch
 ing and praying. Meantime the Master went further into the shades with Peter, James and John.
 Wishing to be alone in His communion with the Father, Jesus went a stone 8 throw further into the shades by Him self. Time and again, in His agony, He came seeking human sympathy, only to find His dearest ones asleep. He trod the winepress of grief alone.-Isaiah 63:3. The feeling of loneliness. homesickness. upon the Savior, continued for sometime; for He petitioned the Father three times that this hour might pass from Him, this terrible depression which vas breaking His heart. St. Luke, who was a physi- elan, tells that the Masters distress was so great that it brought on a bloody sweat
 How shall we explain the Master 8 great distress in anticipation of His own death, of which He had forel1nowledge and of which He had told His disciples, assuring them also that He would rise from the dead?
 | To appreciate this question and its proper answer we must remember how different was the Master from all the remainder of mankind. A death sentence rests upon all the world. Jesus had di- vested Himself of His nature on the spirit plane, exchanging it for the human nature. because man had sinned aDi be- cause in the Divine arrangement He was | to die, the just for the unjust, as man s redemption price. This was the Fathers g will concerning Him. Daily He was l laying down His life, in doing Gods will and in serving humanity. Now He had come to the great climax.
 | The Father had promised that if our Lord was faithful in performing the | work given Him to do, He would be
 raised from the dead by divine power | to the spirit plane and to a still higher I station than He had before. He doubt l ed neither the Fathers faithfulness nor the divine power. The only question was Had He done the divine will absolutely
