misunderstood Victim. The casual
commentator would almost be war
ranted in declaring that Jesus walked
solitary way of suffering to the
Great Reputation at Calvary.
In truth. though, His brow wore
the chaplet of laurel before it bore
the crown of thorns. BY common
standards, Jesus was a great success
before He became a great apparent
failure. He heard the huZzahs of adj
miration before ever His ears were
smitten with cries of Cruelty HIM"
Jesuse tasted all the sweets of sue

Our lesson deals with the period
when His world was going wild over
the Master. His name was upon
everybody's lips. He was the topic
Of talk everywhere. High and low dis
cussed His goings and comings. His
startling words and His marvellous
works. People made pilgrimage just
to see and hear Him. Even when He
sought solitude in the wilderness they
came to Him from every quarter" AS
His disciples said, "All men seek for

A City Of Many Memories.
In the old lakeside city of Caper-

He was the seasons sensation. "All
the city was gathered together at the
door" The whole varied assortment
of human needs fairly mobbed this
new Healer. 1t must have been a
comfort to Christ in His bitter hours
Of rejection to recall the days when
He was the center of a tumultous
outreaching throng whom He helped
Few spots make the earthly min

as the impressive Capernaum ruins.
Amidst these desolate pillars and mar
bles ones Imagination recreates the
scene when this long-dead city was
vocal with acclaim of Christ: when
its streets. now buried or deserted,
were thronged with tumultous multi
tudes all bent on getting a glimpse Of
the new Healer-Prophet.
There is no better place in the world
to muse upon the popular Christ,
