BY REV. EDWARD TABER

where He was accustomed to 60
when in need Of solitude.
Taking the disciples with Him,
He asked them to wait for Him.
Peter, James and John were re-
quested to go somewhat further
than the others, and were asked
to wait in 4 separate group The
Master Went q bit further, and
alone endured His great moral
struggle.
He prayed that III it were pos
sible He might be delivered from
the necessity Of the cross. But
the prayer was speedily tenn
pered with Nevertheless. not
as I will, but as thou wilt.
Experiencing that need Of
sympathy that IS SO common to.
humanity in the hour of suffer-
ing, He returned to the group
Of three, 70 find them sleeping.
As second and third time He
returned from His prayer to find
that Peter, james and John were
not concerned CROUCH with His
sorrow to refrain from sleep.
With supreme beauty, with
sublime generosity, with SPLEEN
did dignity, the Master said /:
Sleep on now and take your
rest; It is enough. The hour is
come. Rise up, let us 60: Is.
he that betrayeth me is at hand
The Last Supper has been I'M
forgettabIy portrayed BY Leo
nardo da Vinci. But many other
artists have pictured the feast
and the suffering Of the Master
in Gethsemane.
After the prayer III the gar
den, the betrayal, arrest, trial
and crucifxion quickly followed.
The last days Of the Savior were
tragic to the last degree. But
through them the Master bore
Himself with the magnificent
poise and serenity that has been
the inspiration Of mankind.
