The Church School was attended
OIL Sunday morning by 50 teachers
and scholars. This was only fair
showing and could be increased if
those who should be interested in
church work, would do their duty
We notice that some of the teachers
are not as punctual as they should
be. Teachers should always be pres
ent on Sunday morning to greet
their scholars when they arrive,
The morning lesson was an in
teresting one, and created quite
some discussion from the members
of different classes. Jesus in Geth-
semane" was the title of the lesson
which was studied.
Can anyone who reads the Bible
truths about the sufferings of Christ
in the Garden of Gethsemane, will it
not awaken in the hearts and minds
of women and men that love and
sympathy which should be extended
to the Saviour of the world when He
lay PROSTATE in prayer asking from
the God above that the cup might
pass from Him.
So great was His suffering that
the APOSTLE Luke says His sweat as
it were, great drops Of blood falling
to the ground. His agony must have
been great to produce such a result
and no wonder when He saw that
which was before Him, to ask that
the cup pass from Him. The suffer
ing in the Garden of Gethsemane
was greater to bear than His death
on the cross.
But how submissive the Master
was to the will of God. His cross
was before Him, if He must suffer
for the sins of the world, He would
do it, let the agOng He was to pass
three, be ever so great. The golden
text says Father, if Thou be willing
to remove this cup from Me; never
theless not My will, but Thine be
done. Luke 22-42.
The sufferings of Christ i'll the
Garden of Gethsemane and His
death on Cavalry should he an in
centive to all Christians to bear pa
tiently and in a humble way their
lot in life. No difference how great |
they way may be, but rest assured
the reward you will get from Him
who sits upon the throne will more
than compensate for the burden
which you are compelled to bear
while here below.
