Sunday School Lesson
Rev. Hugh T.. Stevenson.

Gods will done in their own life even
as 1t Is In heaven.
The Suffering Sovereign.
Although all the lessons we have con-
sidered In this review gave us picture
Of the compassion Of Jesus and His
desire to seek and save the lost, yet In
the studies of the closing portion Of
Christ's ministry we see Him moving
on toward Jerusalem with determine
ton to offer Himself as the Lamb OF
God, meeting the requirements OF the
law and paying the penalty for the
sins Of men upon the cross. He knew
that He was facing the end before He
crossed the Jordan. He understood far
better than the blind beggar what the
public recognition Of the Messianic King
would cost Him.
Reaching Bethany, He carefully pre-
pared to enter Jerusalem as the nations
long-expected King. He put forward
His claims so that there could be no
question that He was asserting His
authority to rule. The rulers COM
planned of the popular approval Of His
acceptance of such public testimonial,
but Jesus defended the multitude, who
greeted Him as their King by o popular
demonstration that antagonized His
enemies.
He recognized the meaning OF the
conferences that had been held be-
tween Judas and the leaders. They
thought it was secret, but 1t may have
been due to their secret agreement,
that He made the secret arrangement
for the observance Of the Passover and
the preparation Of the disciples for the
end by His messages and assurances In
the home of His unknown friend.
Around the table He informed them of
nI.t kviaA IN
influence Judas so that he would not
prove traitor by His revelation to the
twelve Of the conspiracy. He took the
simple elements Of food and made them
a symbolic ordinance Of His death that
was to be observed until He took Of
the fruit Of the grape with them again
His Fathers kingdom.
We left the upper room and in our
study went with Him to GethSemane,
the olive oil press, where He was ac-
customed to pray. We saw Him fight
on death in the garden. and come
forth ready to die upon the cross for
all men. We stood with the devoted
women and His disciples at the cross
when He was crucifled. II the grave
was the end, we would never have
heard Of Jesus Of Nazareth, the King
of the Jews.
His victory over the grave was the
theme of two lessons. No fact concern
ing His life is confirmed by better his
torical evidence than the Masters resur-
rection. It changed the character Of
the apostles, who as craven towards had
followed him afar off, into courageous
champions Of the new faith with its
message Of good news concerning the
future life.
The fact that Jesus lives is the foun-
dation for our hope that We too shall
rise and live with Him. It calls for us
to live in spiritual intimacy with Christ,
who has commissioned His followers TO
carry the gospel of His resurrection
with its assurance of salvation to every
creature Our study has revealed to us
that God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son, that Who
soever believeth on Him should not
perish but have everlasting life."

PERSH|NG CALLED
COLD BY GERMAN
TagebIatt's U. S. Core
spondent DepIores Treat
ment of Foe in Memoirs.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.

~ Cable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, April l0.-Gen.
John ]. Pershing was a gifted organizer
and strategist. but lacked the heart ana.
character to be fully aware Of his his
torical role. Otherwise he would not
have boosted of American successes
over a tired German army without de-
scribing what that army had done in
SNS ASys Of It's prime. This he could
not do because be hated the Germans
and perhaps stin hates them.
This is the opinion of Paul Scheffer.
American correspondent OF the news
paper Berliner Tageblatt. as expressed
in long article which todayS Tage-
hlatt carries on its front page.
Herr Scheffer analyses Gen. Perish
fnc's memoirs carefully with attempted
objectivity. But he does not Ike Gen.
Pershing any more than the soldiers
liked him.
He calls him a man with hardly
satisfied ambition. gold. incapable OF
arousins enthusiasm. a general who al
WAYS told his officers what would hap
men TO them if they failed to fulhn his
orders. a general who kept Leonard
Wood George w. GoethalS and Theo-
dore Roosevelt at home. Yet who
fought for the integrity OF the Amer
lean Army in France with admirable
tenacity and who never spared himself
and others.
But what most impressHs Herr Schef-
fer is the fact that these memoirs have
caused such a sensation and are so
popular today in the United States, for
from this he deduces that war in ex-
perience and memory is obviously
matter Of enjoyment everywhere. Even
