The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1914-12-24

With the exception of the temper
ance lesson, all the lessons of the quar-
ter have to do with the death and res
direction of our Lord. In the first
quarter we considered Jesus as the
great Teacher; in the second, he is
presented chiefly as the seeking
Savior; in the third, we observed him
as he acted in judgment upon Israel
and sin; in this last, he is seen in his
supreme Office as Savior and king. The
king of love. he is also the worlds
Savior. Deny him his kingship, refuse
to become q subject of that kingdom
OF which he is the head and we bring
upon ourselves the condemnation of a
righteous judgment. This past quar-
ter particularly reveals him in that
final ministry which resulted in the
initiation of the new enterprise of pro-
claiming his gospel, to the end that
his kingdom shall be established. We
shall consider the lessons under four
headings:
Story Of Love.
!. Those Of Preparation for His Pas.
sion. These embrace the first three
lessons. Q In the first, we have the
beautiful story of the love which
anointed him for burial, which he &C
cepted and immortalized. This was
not because of the greatness of the
act, but because Of the appreciation of
himself and of his words 60 Here
we observe him presiding over and in
shutting that lasting memorial, the
symbolic feast, wherein the old passes
away and the new dispensation is
ushered in. 90 In the third lesson we
view with awe the agony of the gar
den wherein he dedicated himself to
the coming suffering, mot as I will,
but as thou wilt"-absolute surrender

sion. These next five lessons lead us
through those dark shadows, yea,
through a darkness which is yet un-
fathomable and which ended in the
total darkness of Calvary. ca In this
lesson Judas is presented, the incarna-
ton of evil, and the agent of Satan,
who betrayed his Lord and Friend"
by kiss. Here we see the utter ruin
of a soul which chose private ambition
instead of fellowship with Jesus. 90
This is presentation of the greatest
and most appalling travesty of justice
the world has ever seen. Humanity |

yet he is serene, calm, dignified and |
